Lenovo launches as expected its new range LaVie, presented earlier this year at CES 2015, including the lightest notebook in its class.
Fruit of a joint venture with the Japanese NEC, which markets the previous generations past few years, the LaVie Z actually weighs only 850 g, making it the lightest 13-inch in the world. It is lighter than the MacBook Air 13-inch, a reference in the matter, which weighs 1.35 kg, and even the new 12-inch MacBook, which weighs 920 g.
Lenovo uses the recipe created by NEC in 2012, that is to say, the magnesium alloy shell (current) and lithium (unpublished) and the plastic machining process of die-casting, which allows reducing the wall thickness to 0.5 mm.
The computer provides a data sheet in line with other high-end Ultrabook. It sports a QHD screen to start (2560 x 1440 pixels) 13.3 inches, and it features a processor Broadwell Intel Core i7-5500U (2 cores 4 threads clocked from 2.4 to 3GHz), 8 GB LPDDR3 RAM at 1600 MHz and a 256 GB SSD.
Unlike the 12-inch MacBook, it does not make concessions on the connectors. Yet it is thinner, it measures 10.3 mm thick, against 13.1. It offers two ports USB 3.0 Type-A, an SD card reader, HDMI output full-size, double band Wi-Fi 802.11ac and Bluetooth 4.0. He finally has a Lion-Polymer battery with which he claims a battery life of 9 hours.
Lenovo offers a variation LaVie Z 360, benefiting as its name indicates a hinge 360, similar to that of the Yoga range, allowing you to flip the screen and use it as a tablet. This model is identical to that mentioned above, except that it weighs 925 g.
Lenovo LaVie Z and LaVie Z 360 are now available, initially in the US, where they are sold, respectively, 1 500 and $ 1 700 HT, the equivalent date to 1600 and 1800 euros. No date was unfortunately given about marketing in the world.
