Laptop Magazine have published a review of the Lenovo IdeaPad Y560d 3D notebook. 'This is definitely not your typical Lenovo laptop. The Y560d has a funky purple and black "Art of Gaming" logo that covers the lid. The design looks like a cross between graffiti and a hipster's idea of a tribal tattoo, and you'll love it or hate it. At 15.2 x 10 x 1.3 - 0.8 inches and 6.2 pounds, the Y560d is definitely hefty for a 15-inch notebook. It's about the same size as the Gateway NV59C09u, but the Lenovo weighs nearly a pound more. A copper-colored accent surrounds the lid, and the deck and keyboard is an attractive dark gray. The top of the deck is lined with five white LED buttons as well as buttons to launch the power manager and OneKey Theater, a feature which improves the picture quality for video playback. On the right are volume controls.'

Think Computers have published their review of the Lenovo ThinkPad Edge 15-inch laptop. 'This is a 15-inch laptop, but it really isn't that big or thick at all, while the 15-inch size isn't really considered travel friendly the 5.5lbs of the ThinkPad Edge isn't really that bad at all. If we compare it to the ThinkPad Edge 13-inch you can see it is really not much bigger. Starting on the right side of the ThinkPad Edge you have 2 USB ports, optical drive which is a dual layer DVD burner, power connection and a lock port. On the left side you have an audio connection, smart card slot, HDMI out, Ethernet, eSATA , VGA out and some exhaust vents. It's nice to see eSATA on a laptop!'

PC World have published their review of the Lenovo IdeaPad U150 laptop. 'This laptop, equipped with at least 3GB of memory, will run all of your programs quickly (paired with a high-end CPU, that much memory will make things especially speedy). You'll be able to multitask to your heart's content, too, so go ahead--you can back up the entire contents of your hard drive to a DVD while watching YouTube videos and experimenting with textures on the 2MB photo of your client's art gallery in Photoshop. The main drawback is the extra expense: Loading up with more than the standard amount of RAM (2GB, these days) can add hundreds of dollars to a laptop's price, though it boosts performance by only about 10 percent. Also bear in mind that if you hope to use more than 3GB of RAM effectively, your PC must have a 64-bit installation of Windows.'

A review of the Lenovo ThinkPad T410 notebook has been posted over at Notebook Review. 'To the naked eye very little has changed with the overall design of the ThinkPad T410 compared to past models. It still carries the black rubberized screen lid with ThinkPad logo, still offers the shiny matte-black chassis and palmrest, and still uses the strong and highly visible stainless steel screen hinges. Those are the areas where the similarities stop. The port layout has significantly changed to allow an increase in available ports and even a few new types of connections. Once opened, ThinkPad fans will notice that Lenovo finally centered the screen, so no more thick bezel on one side and a thin bezel on the other. Another change is the shift from a two-piece palmrest and keyboard bezel on older models to one-piece design that is stronger and has fewer gaps to squeak.'

CNET have published a review of the Lenovo ThinkPad Edge (13-inch) business laptop. 'At first glance, the 13-inch ThinkPad Edge doesn't seem so unlike a ThinkPad, save for the extremely glossy lid. The Edge has a low starting price of $579, although that's with an AMD processor: Intel configs of the Edge start at $799. Our review version, with 4GB of RAM, a U7300 Intel Core 2 ULV, and a 320GB hard drive, sells for $899. At the lower end of the range, the Edge could represent great value for someone looking for a thin laptop with business software built in. However, when you're getting up to $899, there might be better values elsewhere.'

A review of the Lenovo ThinkPad SL510 (2847-22U) laptop has been posted over at PC World.com. 'At 15-by-9.7-by-1.4 inches and weighing 5.7 pounds, our review unit was big, but not too bulky. The latchless case opens easily, and the join between screen and laptop feels rock-solid. Our review unit's 15.6-inch screen was matte, not glossy, which means a bit less brightness and color but makes the screen easy to view under just about any lighting you like (a glossy screen is available). The native resolution is just 1366 by 768, but going any higher would have required Lenovo to pack a little more graphics.'

Geek.com have published a review of the Lenovo ThinkPad SL510 laptop. 'The new SL510 marks a slight change to the SL series. It seems that despite some ThinkPad fanatics' claims that the SL was not a "real" ThinkPad (which were met with protestation from Lenovo), the SL510 looks a lot more like a classic ThinkPad than the SL500. The new system has a matte lid, more ThinkPad-like materials, drops the light in the LED, and changes the body design making it seem a lot more like a R or T series system. It's a welcome change to anyone looking to buy a classically-styled ThinkPad.'

InfoSync World have published a review of the Lenovo IdeaPad Y550 multimedia laptop. 'The Lenovo IdeaPad Y550 is a big, glossy, plastic machine, a departure from the company's sleek, understated, business ThinkPad lineup. The top of the lid is coated in a sort of textured, worn-looking pattern that's hardly visible except in direct light, and the black, glossy scheme is hardly unbroken except for a distinguishing band of orange around the middle. The laptop didn't feel especially solid in our hands. The bottom half would wobble and bend when we plied it. The top half required two hands to open, as the unlatched top was nice and stiff. There seemed to be a lot of give in the laptop case wherever we tried squeezing it.'
