The laptop is also features a sturdy build with modern touches. The U450 is a perfect laptop to pin against the Dell Inspiron 14z and Studio 14z due to it's price and size. The dedicated graphics processor and the Intel CULV processor are a great pair and provide you will ample performance. Our test unit performed highly amongst other CULV ultra-thin laptops. This laptop to sets itself apart from many other laptops by including a optical drive built-in. Cons: When you first get this laptop computer your going to need to get your gloves and a shovel to get rid of all the extra hardware that hampers the computers performance. The Lenovo IdeaPad U450 featured more bloatware than most laptops that even come with it. The battery life of this CULV is sort of misleading if your going by the numbers other laptops are putting up, you get an average of 3 hours and 59 minutes. You also don't have an upgrade friendly future with the U450 in the respect of hard drive and cd drive, both are non-removable which isn't that normal.
