Lenovo G560 Review and Specifications Construction and Design
The G560 has a modest exterior, with a few strokes of high quality. The palm rest is made of brushed aluminum inserts are cold. The G560 is slim and light considering its 15.6-inch screen, reaching just under six pounds and about 1.3 thin. "Despite its all-plastic design of the G560 is a solid impression. The palm rest and keyboard area have good support used and will not bend, even under abnormal pressure. The plastic in the construction of satisfactory quality, it is not thick enough to feel, is not weak again, what I would describe as sustainable.
In contrast to the chassis with a plastic cover glossy and smooth, covered with dust and attracts fingerprints. This is a professional - the shiny plastic is less rapid chaotic microfiber cloth on hand is maintained at all times. The quality of the construction of its own means and not eyelid is as good as the chassis. Folds easily when you turn corners and I made some waves on the screen when I pushed in the back. G560 whole process is good, my only complaint is that the actual shiny plastic used on the cover.
Lenovo G560 Review and Specifications Screen and speakers
The G560 has a 15.6-inch screen with a 720p (1366x768) resolution and LED backlight, which is the only screen available. Despite its shiny surface of the mirror with color enhancement and sharpness enhancement, but also acts as a mirror, especially when the lights behind him. Cleaning is also difficult.
The image quality of the screen is passable, best is a contrast ratio of 150:1 and under uncertainty. The colors have faded somewhat. 210nit brightness measured at its peak, the average for a notebook of this size. Angle from side to side, on average, the colors start to move about 40 degrees off center. vertical viewing angles are narrow, is visible about 20 degrees up or down out of the investment center of intense color.
The 1366x768 resolution is the number one problem with the screen, makes it difficult for productivity, multitasking and limits in general. Only half a page in a Microsoft Word document in a visible time shift in web pages is also very necessary as there are only 768 pixels of vertical space. The use of two windows side by side is more or less practical, since 1366 only extend horizontally.
In general, the screen is a typical low-priced laptop, it is difficult to find the budget 15.6 "laptop with a better one. To get a better resolution of 1366x768, you have to go with a laptop on business class, and even higher resolutions and a rare.
The G560 has two stereo speakers above the keyboard. In fact, decent sound thin, yes, and not much worse, however, is very suitable for casual listening, the sound is fuller than I expected. Touch Technology volume buttons on the keyboard works fine.
Lenovo G560 Review and Specifications Keyboard and touchpad
The G560 has a full-sized keyboard with separate numeric keypad. The keyboard is one of the highlights of the notebook, feels solid and is comfortable to write. Even at high pressure, is unwieldy, the keys are very communicative with the trip to the right (by the distance between the positions and not pressed) and moderate force (the amount of pressure required to press a button) Both factors contribute to accuracy. The keyboard takes some getting used to. a little more precision is required, no strike - Lenovo could not fit on a keyboard with keys to half its normal size.
The touchpad is the opposite of the computer - this is terrible. After reviewing dozens of books, I can say is the worst I've ever used. The positive first: a slightly textured surface of the touch screen is very easy to follow with wet or dry fingers. Also suitable for a screen size of 15.6 inches. Negatives: register its ease of use, only half of my clicks in fact, which was very frustrating. No special keys of the touchpad, which is a "ClickPad" where the entire surface can be driven everywhere (in principle) to register a click. Pressing the lower right simulates a right mouse click and everything else is left. I had an abnormal amount of pressure to record all types of clicks, especially toward the edges and the center will apply. In addition, the clicks are strong.
If I have a touchpad with a fee, and then click on the one hand, to follow that does not work with G560 touchscreen. He is mistaken if it works with two fingers at them and sometimes I had to, as I use a touchpad, the G560 work shift. In general, the touchpad is aggravating G560 are considering buying this laptop also invest in an external mouse.
