When I first received the laptop I was amazed at how quickly it started up and opened programmes, particularly Outlook; definitely on par with a MacBook Air. The keyboard is great and makes typing much easier.

This didn't last long however. In the three weeks I've had the laptop the display driver has failed about 6 times and I have also had to forcibly close down the laptop twice as everything froze and I was unable to open any documents or the web browser....

Boot up fast.

trackpad makes me go nuts. I have updated to the latest drives but haven't resolved the issues. sometimes go un responsive and have to restart the pc. screen is not great either for the price tag. no hdmi port and have usb2 (2) ports all-round.

It is generally a good laptop with a good number of usb ports to plug stuff in. So far so good, the performance is okay and once you get used to the new keyboard and trackpad design (for older Thinkpad users), they are not bad at all and comfortable to...

The DVD drive is quite noisy when a disc is in it. The keyboard has lost some of the good features of previous Thinkpad keyboards e.g. the back/forward buttons - the new backspace as a back button has not quite been well thought through based on UX....

Lots of USB ports. It has 3 usb 2 ports and 1 USB 3 port so I have plenty of places to plug in the various dongles needed for music editing software. the keyboard is very comfortable to use. The no glare display is soft on the eyes and easy to look at...

The keyboard layout is very well designed and the keys have a great feel in use. The trackpoint is also a great selling point. The overall design, while not aesthetically fantastic, is wonderfully robust, utilitarian and businesslike, which is exactly...

UPS performed very poorly as a delivery company. Add-on slot is completely open: I would have expected some sort of blanking plate or card.
