Lenovo LaVie Z HZ550

The Lenovo LaVie Z is the lightest ultraportable laptop in the world, with a high-resolution display and better-than-average performance, but you still have to make some compromises to keep the weight down.

Currently, the lightest laptop you can buy. 2,560-by-1,440 WQHD-resolution display. Surprisingly good performance thanks to an Intel Core i7-5500U processor.

Lightweight design feels a bit flimsy. No touch display. Cramped keyboard with confusing layout. Small port selection. Short battery life.

Conclusion The LaVie Z HZ550 is an impressive feat of engineering, material design, and manufacturing processes, and it owns the "world's lightest laptop" tagline without question. But you have to give up a lot to shed extra ounces, losing touch...

Lenovo LaVie Z review: Lighter than Air, but is that enough?

The full-power 13-inch Lenovo LaVie Z weighs less than 2 pounds.

The Lenovo LaVie Z is incredibly light, with a powerful processor and a decent set of ports and connections.

It's more expensive than other premium slim laptops, battery life is merely OK, and a frustrating keyboard makes typing a pain.

Despite a few design quirks that make it feel less than premium, the Lenovo LaVie Z can't be beat for a combination of light weight and processor power.
