Lenovo makes some of the best laptops in the world, but it also has a few clunkers that hold the brand back. The company’s ThinkPads remain the best business laptops in the industry, while its premium Yogas are fantastic, bend-back 2-in-1s.
We reviewed a couple of mediocre budget systems, along with the ambitious but fatally flawed LaVie Z, which weighed a wonderfully light 1.8 pounds but had an awful keyboard. The company’s weak phone support continues to hold the company back, as we experienced incorrect answers to our questions and long wait times. However, innovative applications such as WRITEit, SHAREit and REACHit are a bright spot.
