Pros: 1066 Mhz,DDR3 Memory (not advertised); Intel P7450 Processor, Crisp LED Display, Elegant Design, Wireless N, Multimedia Controls, Great Touch Pad (mouse), 320 Gigabyte HD, Non glossy exterior, brushed aluminum faceplate near keyboard area, a very unique design, Just the right graphic performance for Windows Vista or Windows 7, and all for $700. This is a perfect laptop for a student, professional, or a family-multimedia laptop. from Newegg.com Pros: got this for my dad and we both like it... cnet and some other complained about the texture but i like it a lot because it is better than glossy stuff Cons: people did complain about vista and the bloat ware but it was nice that it was 64 bit Other Thoughts: plays hd well through the hdmi port... u could do more customizing through lenovos site but you wont get the quick delivery like newegg... also u could get it cheaper depending on lenovos coupons but once agian i prefer newegg from Newegg.com Overall-this is decent machine for the money. 30-40 gigs are taken by RESTORE PARTITION. So if you planning to use XP or Win7- DO NOT LOWLEVEL FORMAT hard drive. Just keep that partition and you can restore your machine to factory defaults at any time using Lenovo's restore button. from Newegg.com Cons: Glare from the glossy screen round sunlight can bug. The 1.3 MP Webcam is not so great, frame rate about 5-8 in dark lighting, about 20 in day light. Biggest grip - the screen cannot bend that far back because of the hinge design, this will take more space then you might think. Other Thoughts: A lot of people are complaining about Vista 64 and they should, though not all is lost. from Newegg.com Pros: Nice Features, Subwoofer, sturdy design Cons: Bloated and broken operating system. Vista is typically bad enough, but Lenovo makes it worse with poor implementation. 2 minute boots and 3 minute hibernates are unacceptable on a laptop of this caliber. from Newegg.com Nonglossy and "grabable" plastic outside. Decent battery life. Sound is super for laptop(it has subwoofer, what do you expect?). Centrino 2 platform, all the ports you might need including HDMI out. from Newegg.com Wireless seems rock solid. Great value for the money. Cons: Doesn't have docking connection but I guess it need be I could get a USB docking station. Other Thoughts: I have been a Dell guy for years but I feel the construction on this laptop is better and the price was right. from Newegg.com Cons: This is a big machine and more of a replacement desktop but it is portable of course. I just wouldn't want to lug it around too many airports. Other Thoughts: I've owned quite a few IBM/Lenovo Thinkpads over the years. None of them have disappointed. from Newegg.com The build is most impressive. Feels like a rock but extremely light for some reason. Lenovo builds a good laptop. Cons: I put off buying this for just one day and the price juped $100. from Newegg.com Pros: Came with DDR3 ram. Cons: None Other Thoughts: Super fast laptop for a great price. I have never bought a Lenovo before, but this one is great. Facial Recognition is cool. from Newegg.com
