A maximum opening angle of about 135° corresponds to notebook standards. Even though the lid requires both hands to be opened, it clearly starts to swing when there are vibrations from the ground. This is also applicable to the area around the optical drive. While the bottom plate fares fairly well, the keyboard gives in to pressure during normal usage. However, the biggest point of criticism is the lack of stability. On the other hand - although a success overall - there is a distinct bulge above the keyboard. Due to the different color, it slightly conflicts with the cover of the notebook. On the one hand, the display frame is too bright. However, it is just not enough for an outstanding performance. The notebook conveys a noble character both in a home and business environment. Because of the slim build (just about three centimeters high) and the somewhat more sophisticated visuals, the IdeaPad Z500 appeals to us more than the Asus N56VZ. The fact that the all-rounder seems of high quality, can be attributed to the good workmanship, which is better than the average - apart from smaller flaws (the optical drive of our review unit wasn't perfectly aligned with the side plate). While the silver-gray keyboard area consists of brushed metal, the lid and bottom plate are manufactured using plastic (black matte). Color and material choice are not dissimilar to the current Asus N56VB.
Visually, the IdeaPad Z500 leaves a very good impression.
