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

The Lenovo LaVie Z is an impressive engineering feat, but unless you need the touch screen and 360-degree hinge, stick with the less-expensive, lighter, non-touch model...

Abstract: Lisa Gade reviews the Lenovo LaVie Z and LaVie Z 360 Ultrabooks. These are supremely light 13.3” laptops that weigh in at 1.87 and 2.04 pounds (non-touch and touch). They're also very slim at 16.9mm, yet they pack an Intel Core i7-5500U 2.4 GHz CPU, 8 gig...
