CES 2015: Lenovo's New Laptop 43% lighter than MacBook Air

Lenovo's latest Laptop, the LaVie HZ550, is a 13-inch Ultrabook that weighs in at only 1.7 pounds. It has been reported that the device feels so light there were doubts it was even a fully functional model. But once powered on, it was quite apparent that this device is more than fully functional. It is powered by a fifth generation Intel core i7 processor. The display will have a resolution of 2,560 x 1440, which is better than the 1440 x 900 resolution the MacBook Air supports. The battery will playback video for 7-8 hours, but the standby time has not yet been announced. It also has a 128 GB SSD for storage. The price is the same as a 256 GB MacBook Air $1299.
