     Lenovo does not change colors and sticks to the same black color like it’s previous predecessors . You can find a bright red color because of it’s status light and trackpoint nub. This laptop is not light and you can check the specifications on the first paragraph. I personally would advise users to get the 6 cell battery because it increases the staying power of this laptop. The Lenovo Thinkpad T560 was constructed from polypphenylene sulfide on it’s lid and deck. The bottom is made glass-fiber-reinforced plastic bottom. According To Lenovo, this particular laptop has gone through the MIL-SPEC durability benchmark tests for very high temperatures, shocks, dust and vibrations.

The keyboard has shortcut keys for the calculator app, web browser, file explorer and screen lock. It has a track pointing stick just in between the G and H keys. The nub allows you to navigate precisely. It is also useful for highlighting, clicking on a really small icon. I still prefer using the 3.9 x 2.2- inch buttonless touchpad. The touchpad is so nice to use because there are no drawbacks to it. The Lenovo Thinkpad T560 Full HD non-touch display on this configuration has wide viewing angles and precise colors. This display delivers a tolerable 71% of color gamut. It is still below the category average of 89%.

It is much faster than the category rate of 130MBps.The 6 cell Battery is a $15 dollar option but it can last for at least twenty hours .Using a 3 cell battery will bring it down to 10.hours and that is still laptop category average of 6 hours and thirteen minutes. This is a good laptop to acquire but it is not suitable for gaming purposes. This laptop was released in 2016 and it might cause a bit cheaper now.
