The connections are concentrated on the left side of the case. If you're looking for variety, you should not read on. When it comes to connections, Lenovo's G560 appeals to feng shui followers. The maximum opening angle of around 140 degrees is sufficient for using the laptop on your lap. The joints make a good impression as they sit tight in the case. The lid is held firmly in position by tight hinges. Otherwise the base unit can barely be contorted with two hands.


The reason: the base plate rests above the optical drive very loosely. Indeed the 15.6-inch system should stay on a table, because if you pick it up from the area of the optical drive, you'll cause a clear creaking. The hand rest hardly bends under pressure. The case is characterised by good pressure resistance in the working environment and the base plate. The base plate is also made of a rough plastic. The lid surface is especially pleasing, because, for plastic, it is unusually slip-proof. No fingerprints are left behind on these surfaces. The matte surfaces on the lid and the working environment are made of a rough to slightly smooth plastic. The G560 name sits upright on the right display border and seems just as unimpressive as it seems misplaced. The emblem is embedded into the display lid in silver letters. What the manufacturer doesn't do without is an orchestration of its logo. Even the loudspeakers are masked in an unadventurous perforation. Ornamental surfaces or elements, like silver strips, bright LEDs or artistically formed power-on keys are searched for in vain. The chassis has not one glossy surface, apart from the display panel. Matte austerity wherever the eye glances. Visually, the Lenovo G560 puts about the plastic charm, which we would expect from a budget office laptop. Are the input devices, workmanship and display as cheap as the price? Find out in our extensive test report. In this review we will test to see if the G560 measures up to office demands.
