 Great value! November 18, 2009

First of all, I am a Mac person. I don't know that much about PCs. The reason for buying this particular model was money. I would have had to pay $1700 for a comparable laptop from Apple. I could not see spending all that money for a computer that was to be mainly used for word processing and web browsing. While made of plastic, this laptop has a solid feel to it. When opened, it doesn't seem like it will split into two pieces or that the screen is flexing. The keyboard is not flimsy and it should be able to take a lot of use. (I've only had the computer for a couple of weeks.) This model comes with Windows 7 and so far I like it. Very easy to set up. Connecting to my network was a breeze. Installing a couple of programs was also easy. Updates are simple. I have had limited experience with Vista and did not care for it. Windows 7 is a much better, user friendly, operating system. As I said previously, I have had this laptop for a short period of time, but so far I have no complaints and no regrets. A lot of computer for a little bit of money.

I find it strange that a couple of people (maybe the same person) complain about service for this notebook. I called and had a response within 2 minutes. I had a minor issue regarding the features on the notebook and was assisted and off the phone in ten minutes.
Perhaps if something serious goes wrong you may find it annoying. For example, we have an HP notebook and it took 3 technicians and a supervisor and over 3 hours of our time to get them to ship us a replacement battery for a brand new computer.
The margins are very thin on these machines, so don't expect them to come to your door. If you buy a $400-$500 computer you cannot expect them to provide you $400 worth of support time if you are inept in computing and not hardware savvy.
This notebook is an absolute steal for the money and very well made. My only complaint and it appears in HP as well is the notebooks run a tad hot. I have not had any problems as a result, but it may be a good idea to get a cooling pad for while you use it at home. If you are a road warrier, traveling coolers are available as well.
The notebook has excellent battery life, an astoundingly nice display and a well designed keyboard. All touchpad's stink, from the HP to Dell. So, get a notebook mouse.
Great notebook for the money!!
 A pretty good laptop overall, unless you need accurate color. April 20, 2010

The LED backlit display that I thought would produce better colors thinking that LED backlit was all the hype in LED LCD HDTVs like Samsung, Sony, etc. produces a slightly purplish color cast to the image. I thought getting the LED backlit display at such a low cost was a great deal, but I guess you really get what you pay for. In this price range, I'm almost thinking a traditional CCFL backlit LCD would have looked more accurate in terms of colors. If you're using this for photography, I would stay away. If you're using it for web surfing or word processing, it won't matter. For my desktop I have a color calibrating Samsung display, so right away I can notice the purplish color cast on the Lenovo. I did attempt to correct for the hue by running my color calibrator on it, which helped, but didn't completely fix it.
 Good Machine overall February 17, 2010

Overall this is a good machine with some feature issues.
Long Battery life
It is fast
Display is great
very strudy for the daily life with kids around
Windows 7 runs great
Never had machine related issues
Battery never gets hot even after using for more than one hour like other laptops
But there is one annoying thing in this computer... Keyboard and Mouse pad.
Keyboard is very hard to type because I need to press exactly in the middle. If I press at corners, it does not register. and I make too many typing mistakes.
Mouse pad is not sensitive enough to make it a good experience. Most times, it does not register the tocch/drag.
But this machine is overall a good machine for the price I gave.
