Lenovo has been a symbol of excellence and especially when it comes to long battery notebooks, no one can deny their quality build notebook with lone battery life and audio quality.Today we take a look at Lenovo IdeaPad z370.Z370's glossy plastic exterior is a brilliant blue that immediately draws the eye (consumers wanting a more muted color can get the laptop in brown). The lid features a 3D square geometric pattern that radiates from the middle of the lid and transitions into a dotted pattern and then a solid pattern. We were expecting the Z370 to be a fingerprint magnet, but were pleasantly surprised that the lid remained fairly clean. However, the large gap between the laptop lid and the base was a little jarring.We were pleased that Lenovo chose to continue the glossy blue motif on the Z370's interior. The keyboard rests in a recessed area surrounded by a blue keyboard deck. Located above the keyboard are two built-in speakers. A metallic gray power button is also located above the keyboard, as are touch-sensitive buttons for changing volume, Lenovo's OneKey Theater settings, and thermal management. The blue buttons are slightly recessed and--as a nice visual accent--they light up.Measuring 12.9 x 8.7 x 0.8-1.3 inches and weighing 4.6 pounds, the Z370 is small and light enough to carry around comfortably. Still, the HP Pavilion dm4t has nearly the same footprint, weighs 0.2 pounds less.t's a consumer-targeted line of laptops, as opposed to the business-oriented but far more recognizable ThinkPad brand. Lenovo doesn't make the decision process easy on consumers--in fact, there are a numbing variety of letter-based series: U, V, Y, Z. We'd be hard-pressed to explain all the differences--Ys tend to be gaming laptops, Us ultraportables--but the Z370 is a comfortably proportioned 13-incher with the look and feel of some Asus models.The glossy, fingerprint-prone back lid has faintly visible copper-colored pyramids in the design, arranged in rows below the surface for a 3D effect. It's eye-catching, and looks high-end. Inside, this IdeaPad has brushed metal around the raised keyboard and touch pad, lending the laptop a more formal and upscale feel. The upper lid's screen is still surrounded by generic glossy black plastic and a normal amount of bezel, as befits any typical mainstream midrange laptop.The 1,366x768-pixel glossy 13.3-inch display is excellent considering the price of the laptop: colors felt rich and the screen quite bright at maximum. Picture quality does deteriorate at off-axis viewing angles, but not as much as we've seen on other budget laptops in this price category.Lenovo preloads some software on the IdeaPad Z370, ranging from OoVoo video-chat software to Lenovo tools including a Boot Optimizer, facial-recognition software, OneKey recovery, and the odd Smile Dock, a weird and somewhat ugly pop-up tool with an assortment of useless links.The keyboard, similar to those we've seen on new-generation ThinkPads such as the ThinkPad Edge E220s, is fantastic. Crisp, slightly concave island-style keys are recessed down a bit from the rest of the keyboard deck, but are firmly planted with no flex. It's a better keyboard experience than on nearly any other 13-inch laptop we can think of. We have just a few, small gripes: a column of page up/down and other navigation keys run down the right side; we prefer direct right-side access to the Enter/Shift keys, but that's just us. Volume and screen brightness controls are relegated to the direction arrows, and only work if you simultaneously press the Fn key. Also, there is no backlighting.Lenovo doesn't install any fast USB 3.0 ports. The notebook has a total of three USB 2.0 ports available instead. One of them is a combined USB 2.0/eSATA port. The interfaces are basically placed so that they won't get in the user's way too much. There are hardly any ports on the laptop's right and the interfaces that are needed more frequently have been moved to the back (USB and power socket). Regrettably, the majority of ports on the left have been placed far front. But they don't get very annoying because most users will sooner have the mouse placed on the notebook's right. There are no interfaces on the rear due to the display's and battery's design.The 5in1 card reader is located on the front. It supports MMC, SD, Memory Stick (Pro) and xD card formats. A dummy card has been inserted for protection.temperatures stay within limits in idle mode. The surface is within an acceptable range with a maximum of 26 degrees. The wrist-rest is clearly in an acceptable field with 24.7 degrees Celsius (left) and 25.3 degrees Celsius (right). You don't even notice the slight temperature increase in practical use. The touchpad's 26 degrees Celsius can also be neglected. The notebook's bottom is a bit warmer with 30.2 degrees Celsius, but this rate is also within an acceptable range.The temperatures increase during load, but the cooling system keeps them under control. The top heats up to a maximum of 35.8 degrees Celsius. This temperature is only reached on the rear left area, directly above the vent, though. The wrist-rest temperature increases to 31.2 degrees Celsius (left) and 26.6 degrees Celsius (right). The touchpad heats up to 31.2 degrees Celsius. The bottom now reaches a maximum temperature of 45.1 degrees Celsius. Here, the warmest area is again found in the vent's area. Overall, the average temperature of 32.7 degrees Celsius is not alarming. Using the laptop on the lap shouldn't be a problem either.As a whold you can sat that Lenovo IdeaPad Z370 is good consumer targeted notebook which is specially design for mid level of performance and 24 hour working.
