Worse laptop ever

 

I received this laptop in December 2011. In May the system board and dc inlet had to be replaced - it would not even acknowledge being plugged in. It had to go back in July 2012 for the wireless card to be replaced. I was chastised for taking it to a...

Down from Very Good to OK Laptop

 

I've been around computers and laptops for a long time now. Began with the NEC 8201 or Radio Shack Model 100 way back in the early 80's. Even before that I had the Kaypro - not a laptop but considered a portable. This Lenovo is an excellent machine for...

Good value

 

This is my second Thinkpad and works well for what I use it for (MS Office apps). The fingerprint scan security has never worked and I have't had the time to look into it deeper.The 10-key is a great feature and wireless is fast. Good mid-range laptop.

Good Thinkpad

 

Yhis is my 8th Thinkpad. First with Win 7. Solid. The SD card reader did not work out the box. Don't care. Went to 8GB up front for Win 7. Very spunky, if you throw enough hardware at it. I wanted to buy 10, but they were not available at the time. Got...
