One thing completely ruins it.

So basically that's it, great laptop, TERRIBLE touchpad. I tried to return it but they wouldnt let me, hopefully I can get something for it on craigslist...If anyone knows of a fix that actually works please private message me. thanks.

It's a great looking laptop. Very fast, and has great portability. One key recover is great

I would have loved this laptop if it wasnt for the double finger scroll, which does not work AT ALL and is the only way to scroll using the touchpad. It just jumps around on the page when scrolling. I've tried to update it with the newest lenovo driver...

Follow Up Review

At the price I paid, under $600, this is the greatest deal ever! WiFi performance is great and great WiDi works great with my WiDi enabled TV. Overall a very sweet machine.

I am the guy, Go2Guy, who had such an ordeal opening and upgrading my U400 ; That being behind me, this is the nicest PC laptop that have ever owned. Once the hardware upgrades were installed this thing REALLY woke up ; Built in EVERYTHING, including...

Had to take power tools to the SSD to get it to fit ; No mSATA or Mini PCIe slot despite what reviews say. Believe me, I have had my U400 torn ALL THE WAY down, and I would have seen it

Best bang for your buck!

I think this is a very good notebook buy.The track pad that everyone complaints about can be fixed by downloading the newest drivers at Lenovo's website. Haven't experienced any problems with the WiFi buy can be fixed if you download the newest drivers...

Dedicated graphics card ; 6GB DDR3 RAM ; Lightweight ; Ultra-portable ; Sleek ; Strong proccesor ; Fast boot up ; Comes with Google Chrome already installed

Small screen but may due to my previous 17" Toshiba ; pretty loud fan when doing some intense work like gaming or rendering videos ; Lack of USB ports but can be solved with a USB hub ; Small backspace key ; No backlight keyboard ; Noisy DVD drive but...
