Lenovo's Z51 has better performance than a typical budget machine, but also a higher price and terribly short battery life.

many different configurations, well-designed, acceptably built casing, dual-band Gigabit Wi-Fi ac, backlit keyboard, nice touchpad, good Turbo utilization, very smooth operation, swift SSD, economic, good battery life

disassembly required for replacing battery or maintenance, all interfaces in the front areas, at best, middling keyboard, pale, viewing angle dependent TN screen, sound system obviously defect

Just where are the IPS screens that Lenovo promised? In any case, that would have looked good in our review sample. Thus, we have to live with an at least matte, middling TN standard with very limited viewing angles and a color reproduction very much...

Strong performance ; Comfortable keyboard ; Boisterous speakers

Limited battery life ; Shallow viewing angles ; The Lenovo Z51 offers a strong combination of utility and entertainment with impressive specs and array of multimedia features, but the machine fails to find a real identity with the subpar display and...

The Lenovo Z51 offers a strong combination of utility and entertainment with impressive specs and array of multimedia features, but the machine fails to find a real identity with the subpar display and weak battery life.

Matte Full HD display, Works quietly most of the time, Big storage capacity, Decent battery life

Dark display with narrow viewing angles, Clattery keyboard, No maintenance hatch, Weak GPU

Gorgeous design ; Beautiful display ; Powerful speakers

Poor performance ; Short battery life ; Heavy

Although the Z51's sleek design and awesome display are gorgeous to look at, this laptop just doesn't have enough under the hood to make it worth considering.

Backlit keyboard is a great feature

The keyboard is defective and Lenovo will not honor replacing or repairing this keyboard. Space bar does not work and most letters intermittently skip so every other sentence I must g back and insert the letters it has skipped or omitted. Lenovo will...

Backlit keyboard is nice, mine is evenly lit and easy to type on. Easy transition from my old HP. Numpad good for those who need it. 1080p screen Discrete graphic card, Batman Arkham Origins was still playable at ~24 fps at high settings, 1080p. Good...

Servicability. Replaced the hard drive and RAM when I got it. Lots of tiny screws (all M2 but 2 they decided to throw you off and make M2.5, which are nearly impossible to tell apart visually. You almost have to take the whole laptop apart to replace...

Nice body finish,good speaker,I purchased this laptop for engineering software purpose like i wanted work on Auto-cad,Pro-e, Solid-works,Revit. I believe this is best laptop for engineering students.

-Screen Brightness not good -its very hard to update ram in this laptop -low battery life -non removable battery -the worst thing-very bad touchpad
