Unlike some laptops, you don’t have to keep repositioning the screen to get the best performance. Backlight bleed is all but non-existent and viewing angles are good too. The quality is very good too: in side-by-side comparisons with the T500’s display, the W500’s screen is of a similar brightness – so not as eye-popping as on the Sony VAIO VGN-Z21M/NB – but colours have less of a red push and are a little more realistic as a result. Its resolution is even higher – a super-crisp 1,920 x 1,200 – which means acres of desktop space to spread your application windows around. And though the T500’s was very good, the W500’s is simply superb. ![]() So where’s the extra money been spent? The first and most noticeable area for improvement is the screen. So far so similar – the same comments could just as easily apply to the T500, but the latter comes in at around £300 cheaper than the W500. And the rest of the chassis is just as stubbornly robust – high-quality plastics abound, from the soft-touch rubbery feel of the lid to the tough, scratch-resistant matte plastic of the wristrest and keyboard surround. The screen backing is stiff and sturdy and feels as if it would take plenty of abuse. The screen hinges feel as solid and smooth as those on a bank vault door. Build quality is as good as you’d expect from a Lenovo laptop.
