You can store all your favorite movies and music in its 500 GB hard drive and there is a DVD drive if you want more. The display is of 15.6 inches with a resolution of 1,366×768. Its weight is little more than average at 6.1 pounds with Dimensions 1.4 x 15.1 x 10.2 inches. It comes loaded with Windows 7 home premium (64-bit).
Generally there is a problem with laptops that the lid shows off your fingerprints and if you rub it leaves smudges. To avoid this, the lid is covered up glossy black and is decorated with a large purplish emblem that resembles somewhat like a tattoo.
The keyboard has the same glossy finish as the lid thereby requiring the same constant wiping, if you want to keep your laptop clean. The touch pad has a textured finish which provides the control of friction for smooth cursor movement in the right amount.
The pros and cons of this laptop are solid productivity, graphics performance; attractive pricing; 3D-capable display and short battery life; narrow LCD viewing angles with no option for Blu-ray respectively.
The IdeaPad Y560D is available at a base price of $1,399. The laptop has beefy performance, a stand-out design and comes at a reasonable price and is therefore recommended by us.
