If you don't remember, this laptop was the one I won from the #LenovoSurprise back last year when Lenovo's Facebook page hit 2 million likes.  I'm still using it, and I am extremely grateful for it! Click below to watch the video. 
This laptop is the one I bring with me when I want to have some entertainment.  As you can tell with the specs above, this laptop is great for all forms of entertainment, such as watching movies, checking social media, watching YouTube, and even playing a handful of games.  I also use this to do projects and documents.  

It's constructed with metal and hard plastic, which feels premium.  It doesn't attract much fingerprints.  I used it for over a year already,  and this is the only fingerprints it has.

Lenovo knows how to do cooling.  This laptop never gets hot, it just gets warm, which is expected for a laptop.  It never reached 90 degrees, even with many hours of use.

Keyboard & Trackpad
This keyboard and trackpad are extremely good.  It's no secret that Lenovo is a pro that making these, especially since they make the ThinkPad machines.  The backlighting looks great, day or night. The trackpad had no issues doing regular Windows 8 gestures, and it feels like a grippy plastic.  The whole surface acts as a left click, but when you go to the bottom, it will do a right click, which is convenient.  


The keyboard has a lot of key travel, which is great since it feels very good. Below is an example of the key travel this laptop offers.

Ports
This laptop comes with one USB 3.0 port, two USB 2.0 ports, audio ports, card reader, VGA, HDMI, and Ethernet.

Display
This display has a 1600 x 900 resolution, which looks sharp on this display.  It is also a 10-point multi-touch screen.  It isn't too glossy, and when you are actually using it, you won't see any glare or reflection.

Overall, this laptop is a great performer.  It's over a year old, so Lenovo no longer sells it, but they do have a newer version available. Click here to view the newest Z series.  This will be on the INsiders store, which is cheaper than the regular Lenovo store.  Thanks for reading, and be sure to share, comment, and subscribe to my newsletter!
