440 WQHD-resolution display. Surprisingly good performance thanks to an Intel Core i7-5500U processor.
This 13-inch touchscreen hybrid weighs just a hair over two pounds and includes a powerful high-end processor
The Lenovo LaVie Z is incredibly light
With a powerful processor and a decent set of ports and connections
Clean design

Strong performance
Lightest 13-inch laptop
Doesn't compromise on performance

Supposedly lower-powered machines
Touchpad works well
The editors didn't like
Keyboard is a bit cramped and takes some getting used to — and the keys feel too flat
Battery life is OK but could be better — we wish it could last all day
Expensive
Fumble-fingered keyboard with no backlighting
Display is not an IPS or touch screen
Lightweight design feels a bit flimsy. No touch display. Cramped keyboard with confusing layout. Small port selection. Short battery life
The keyboard is poorly laid out
And this model is heavier and more expensive than the non-touch version. The screen only autorotates in tablet mode
It's more expensive than other premium slim laptops
Battery life is merely OK
And a frustrating keyboard makes typing a pain
Awkward keyboard layout
Weak battery life
Limited display brightness
The US edition has aJapanese keyboard layout with lots of shrunken buttons

Lenovo's goal with this laptop was to create a lightweight device that packed a lot of power. Well, they succeeded. However, due to the crazy-light design, compromises had to be made.Despite being a device that performs well, I have to harp on some of the...
The LaVie Z has the right amount of ports, the best choice in chipsets, RAM, and storage. There isn't really a lot not to like about it. When you compare this up against other laptops like the Dell XPS 13 or the latest MacBook, it is still a great value...
The LaVie Z, first and foremost, is a very light laptop. That is where its hook lies, its lure to prospective buyers. Anyone not interested in having the lightest laptop out there should look elsewhere (the Yoga 3 11 is a good alternative), as the laptop...

Despite being crazy thin and unbelievably lightweight, the LaVie Z doesn't make many compromises. To that effect, it actually offers great performance and a beautiful display. In many respects, it wipes the floor with the new MacBook, an expensive new...

Abstract: Everyone once and a while however, we find ourselves with our hands on something completely unexpected. Hidden away in a back room of Lenovo's product showcase at CES this year, we were told there was a product would amaze us — called the LaVie.And they w...
If you're looking for a lightweight device with top-notch performance than the Lenovo LaVie Z certainly meets those criteria. The LaVie should be the ideal travel laptop, due to its ridiculously lightweight design and productivity focused specs, but it's...
The Lenovo LaVie Z meets the demands of tablet users pretty well. It's easily expandable, has a terrific display and it feels like it weighs less than most cups of coffee. Lenovo set out to make a machine for the mobile warrior and it succeeded on the maj...

Abstract: The wealth of ultraportable laptops continues to grow, and we're seeing a more varied array of options than ever before. Be it 2-in-1s like Asus' T300 Chi or a tablet-gone-laptop like Microsoft's Surface 3, those in the market for a mobile computer have p...

The LaVie Z is the world's lightest 13-inch convertible laptop, but it punches above its weight in terms of performance. That said, its relatively short battery life and cramped keyboard layout make it difficult to recommend...
Abstract: Here's something different from Lenovo, the LaVie Z and the LaVie Z 360. Yes, they're still unassuming matte black rectangles like most ThinkPads, but these are wafer thin and are currently the lightest 13.3
