If you have seen the Lenovo IdeaPad 320, you will remember it just when you take a look at the Lenovo V145’s design. It looks similar and comes in a black slim casing. The matte black surface on the lid, back of the display and keyboard deck is easy to glide fingers on. The non-reflective surface is good if you don’t like smudges of your fingerprints on it. There is a linen texture along with the black that goes well all along and feels like a brushed laptop. The whole material is made of plastic which shouldn’t go off the hook for anyone who is looking for budget lenovo laptop.
