Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)I was excited to get this laptop because the price was fantastic for the configuration.
I have had it for two weeks and so far I really like it. However, there are two annoying things about it: 1. The volume of the speakers is very very low. I'd go as far as saying it is not usable. When I feel up two it maybe I will contact Lenovo about it and see if there is way to improve this. If so, I will update this review. Of course usually one will use headphones or plug it into speakers so it is not a big deal to me. Volume is fine with headphones. 2. the touch pad is quite big and the way it is positioned makes it quite difficult not to accidentally touch it with your left hand when typing. After two weeks of daily use I still have problems and it is quite annoying to have to interrupt and adjust the cursor all the time.
But its got lots of pros: Set up was a breeze, nice screen, super light, fast,doesn't get hot at all.
I have not been with it unplugged yet so can't speak for the battery life.
All in all in spite of the two small problems I do not regret getting it. I do not believe there is a perfect laptop for $500, so considering the configuration, I think I chose well.
