Consumer review (newegg.com)

Great and versatile

 

I've had this laptop for over a year now, and I can say nothing but great thing about it. I've gone from windows, to linux and back multiple times. It never gives me any issues with it. I Put in 16GB of ram, and a WD black2 and it works like magic. I...

Good laptop but problems with arrival

 

-The keyboard is quite good, but the mouse-pad is lacking. It sometimes just freaks and you cannot control it. But who uses mouse-pads for 15.6''s anyway? The keyboard is space-efficient, but the f1-f12 keys are kinda awkward to use at first, but I...

Excellent laptop for the price. Very fast for managing your stuff, and works well with medium gaming. I play the Clash of kings mod of Mount & Blade warband on high settings with no problems at all ; Nice plug placements ; Slick-looking ; Thought there...

After having examined it a little bit, I saw two problems with the screen. First, a vertical line of what I believe must be stuck pixels of green color. There's also a red point around the middle of the screen, but I can only see it when I'm playing a...

Broken out of the box

 

Product looked good for goo price

Opened the box and the computer screen wouldn't turn on. I plugged it in into my tv and could see it fine on the tv but not the laptop. I tried calling customer support and was told the product team would call me the next day to try and help me fix it...

Consumer review (newegg.com)

Runs great, just a lot of small issues.

 

My cons may seem a bit critical but the laptop runs perfectly fine and you can comfortably use it hours on end. It's just a lot of small issues that add up. I expected a better quality for a 500+ dollar laptop.

Can't find a more well rounded laptop for this price ; I bought it for light gaming, college work and casual web browsing. I can do all three at once with no problems with this laptop ; I've had no issues with it. Runs just as well as you'd expect it...

This laptop is big, bigger than I thought and causes a couple issues ; The keyboard is very spaced out and feels mushy compared to past keyboards I’ve owned. It takes a bit to get used to ; The screen resolution could be better for the size of the...

Consumer review (newegg.com)

Surprisingly good laptop; great value

 

After my first two laptops died from the same thing (power jack failure) I was looking for a replacement that used a different power connector scheme. These have a USB-style rectangular connector instead of the barrel with a pin in the middle. It looks...

Lighter than previous laptops (Asus, Acer), very fast boot-up, 1TB drive capacity, very fast SD card transfer speeds, USB 3 works great ; Lenovo has fixed that malware issue ; The one-button recovery system actually works

Of course, Win 8, (what is MS thinking?). Lid/screen somewhat overly flexible upon opening and waggles when there is laptop movement (such as in an airplane, etc ; The Win8 setup has you commit to a password tied to a Microsoft email account, but there...

So... Much... Bloatware

 

Decent computer if you want a broadwell.

Speedy, great PC for under 550$. Everything a normal home user would need. I especially like the keyboard. The keys feel soft and are in the computer so my wrists have a place to hit

Needs more USB ports. Needs less bloatware, it has so so so so much
