Design – Optimal Use

This is a mid-level laptop with a good balance of power and portability.
It weighs 5.8 lbs and has a larger 15.6" screen, so it's probably not for "on the go" types.

However, the Lenovo IdeaPad Z580 has more than average amount of memory and a 3rd generation Intel CPU with enough power to handle most all home or small office tasks like browsing, email, office applications, etc.

Gamers however should look for a purpose-built notebook with a discrete graphics chip.

Review

The reviewers on on Lenovo's website gives this laptop an average 3.8 out of 5 stars
However, most of the bad reviews are for the model in Summer of 2012.
