Lenovo IdeaPad Z565: AMD VISION Premium Entertainment Notebook

The new Lenovo IdeaPad Z565 is an AMD powered entertainment notebook that joins the Lenovo IdeaPad Z360 and IdeaPad Z560 entertainment notebooks as part of the new Lenovo IdeaPad Z line. This new line is focused on providing consumers with a rich, yet mobile, entertainment experience. Like the recently announced HP Pavilion line, the new Z series have a metallic lid that won’t be such a fingerprint magnet.

The new IdeaPad Z565 is powered by the latest AMD processors including options for the newest Phenom II Quad Core processor as well as other Phenom II, Turion II, Athlon II and V Series processors.

The IdeaPad Z565 has a 16:9 15.6” HD display; both running at 1366×768 and comes with a chiclet style keyboard, metallic effect” lid, the option for a Blu-Ray drive, Dolby Advanced Audio and a OneKey Theater II setting that optimizes the notebook for multimedia consumption.

Judging from the images, the new Z series will share a very similar keyboard with other Lenovo machines , which are among the best in the industry and a personal favorite.

Additionally, the IdeaPad Z line features DDR3 RAM (up to 8GB), the ability to configure with up to an NVIDIA GeForce 315M 1GB GPU and DirectShare technology for DropBox like syncing of your important files across multiple computers. Rounding out the experience is a standard plethora of ports including USB 2.0, eSATA, BlueTooth, 802.11n WiFi, a 5-in-1 card reader and a webcam.

The IdeaPad Z565 will be available in June and base models of the IdeaPad Z series start at $649.
