Reviews:
1. Lenovo IdeaPad Z560 by PCMag
Take away the glamour and the fancy technology, and you end up trimming the cost of a laptop significantly. The Lenovo IdeaPad Z560 ($750 direct) is your prototypical, blue-collared desktop replacement. It won’t seduce you with a provocative design or catch-terms like Blu-ray and 3D-gaming graphics. What it does well is hit on all the fundamentals, including an excellent user experience, good processing speeds, and decent battery life—all for one low price. But what if you want the fundamentals, plus all the trimmings? The Samsung R580 or HP Pavilion dv7-4053cl are worth their small premiums.
2. Lenovo IdeaPad Z560 Review by NotebookReview
The Lenovo Z-series IdeaPad is a budget-friendly multimedia notebook aimed to be a tier lower than the popular Y-series. The Z-series comes in two sizes including a 13.6 and 15.6-inch model, both of which offer unique styling and configurations. In this review, we take a look at the 15.6-inch IdeaPad Z560 and see how it stacks up against the competition.
3. Lenovo IdeaPad Z560 by Cnet
The Z560 is an extremely good mid-weight laptop, even though it cuts corners on both wired and wireless communications. We wouldn’t hesitate in recommending it to those who want a great value, flexible laptop with fantastic build quality.
