Lenovo is one of the top laptop makers of the world. The Lenovo IdeaPad Y450 is an all-purpose multimedia laptop. In terms of design, the Lenovo Ideapad Y450 is inspired from its larger siblings IdeaPad Y550 and Y650. It is much lighter and slimmer. The best thing about the laptop is its design. At such a low price Lenovo is offering a very well designed laptop with 4 hours of battery life. The laptop can perform regular day to day tasks. It can play HD video content. Interestingly, the machine comes with lots of I/O ports and communications but it does not feel cramped. Laptop Mag.com
Outside, the chassis is fashioned from smooth, matte black plastic, with a slim ring of copper-colored trim. On its lid, the elegant imprint with an interlocking 3D hexagonal pattern reminds us of the game Q*bert. The keyboard, wrist rest, and touchpad are all glossy white, while a tasteful set of white indicator lights and volume buttons, and four touch controls (for Lenovo utilities) line a glossy media bar that houses the speakers.
Cons:
- Plastic lid that flexes under light pressure.
- Right side of the palm rest becomes worm even with light workload.
- The L-shaped power connection blocks the DVD drive from opening if it is faced wrong way.
- The touchpad’s plastic buttons may not survive in long term.
