Lenovo IdeaPad U450 Review - Notebook Review

A review of the Lenovo IdeaPad U450 widescreen notebook has been posted over at NotebookReview.com. 'The Lenovo U450 is black with a plastic casing and gently rounded corners and edges. The lid and area surrounding the keyboard (including the palm-rests) have a tactile, checkerboard-like pattern which resists smudging, fingerprints and scratching. Some may find this pattern distracting or annoying after prolonged use, but we see it as a nice design choice which gives this the otherwise plasticky case a bit of class and differentiates it from the shiny plastic all too common recently. The screen lid has a metallic, plastic Lenovo emblem embedded in the upper left. The bezel around the screen is shiny, smooth, black plastic and the hinges connecting it to the body seem fairly typical - plastic on the exterior and not overly tight or loose. The laptop is held closed by the tension of the hinges.
