Conclusion

This is the first Lenovo computer I have tested personally, and I am not disappointed. It is hard not to get excited about a products that works well from a to z.
Physically it beats many other devices. It is made of sleek materials that go well together, and synergise to give an overall product that oozes of design and security. There is no doubt some very experienced people had a hand in making this product.
Unlike some other Lenovo devices, this model is a bit more modern and contemporary.
We are dealing with a handsome design that makes it a mixture between a faithful companion for business or school, or just a nice “friend” to have a home. The keyboard is sublime to type on, and the keys are nice and big and easy to use. The touchpad is incredibly smooth and very precise, and though the buttons are a bit too soft and go too deep, that hardly detracts from the overall impression.

It does well in terms of sound and the speakers have been specially designed to go with the rest of the notebook.

It has a nice big display that richly reproduces colours and contrast, and a webcam that works really well and also provides some fun when it comes to logging in via facial recognition. All this and it still manages to be both slim and light so it is easy to bring along. It is actually quite incredible.
The display is unfortunately quite glossy and so you may get problems with glare. The battery life is not too good either, but nevertheless still decent. It also has modern hardware in the form of I/Os, with both HDMI and card reader, and could you really ask for more?
Well, it is actually quite hard to say anything negative about this product. You may be paying a little extra for the brand, Lenovo, which probably costs some £50, but this should not scare away potential customers, because what you actually get is well worth it.

We are very close to awarding a rare perfect score to U550, with only minor details keeping us from it.
Laptop-review.eu highly recommends this well-made product.
