Best Specs for the Price
By tech boo
****Really 4-1/2 stars*****I've had this computer for a couple of months now. My model is almost identical to this one, except it came with a 500gb HDD and a Blu-Ray Player instead of a standard DVD player, other than those items it is identical. Model number ends in MU instead of AU. This is the closest to my specs listed on Amazon for my review.First I bought this directly from Lenovo through their online outlet store. I paid just over $700 brand new, including shipping and taxes, quite the deal. Other computers with these specs are around $1200 - $1500 for Samsung, Dell, HP and even more for mac pro.Pros:-Top of the line processor (at time of order).-1 GB graphics card-USB 3.0-Chicklet keypad with numeric input-Large touch pad with scrolling and multi-touch-Awesome Awesome JBL speakers. Did I already say Awesome?!?!-Nice quick controls for volume.-Nice and useful quick keys.Cons:-Small HDD (but plan to upgrade with a SATA+SSD, probably Seagate Momentus XT 750gb). So of all places to go cheap the HDD is the best option to downgrade.-Battery life is 3-4 hours, that's it. Seems to drain in front of my eyes.-Ethernet port pulled apart after one use. I tried to pull out the cable (yes while releasing the catch) and it would not come out. Must have pulled a little too hard cause the metal surrounding the RJ45 connection came loose. I'm just chalking it up to a lousy glue job, something not indicative of the quality in the rest of the computer.-i7 processor still isn't as fast as my 4 year old Core2Duo desktop. It was the fastest 2nd gen i7 mobile processor so what else can one do?Neutral: (Acceptable trade offs for Price).-15.6" screen is nice, but the resolution isn't the greatest. But I knew this going in and if I wanted a high res screen I'd have to pay hundreds more. I don't really miss it.-USB ports are all at the front of the computer. Two each side. It would have been nice if one was near the back or in the back. For instance if on the right side something is in the USB, then it makes me use the mouse further away to the right, otherwise I'll keep hitting the USB device.-Cooling is sufficient. Since this is a desktop replacement I purchased a Cooler Master fan for $20 just for peace of mind.-Bloat ware is typical. Some are even useful enough to keep installed. I uninstalled the worthless ones.-Key board has a nice feel, but are not back lit. I wish they were, but again would have to pay more for that.-The look is nice (I'd rate this a 7 out of 10). Aluminum case, with a rather strange dimple pattern. The orange trim is ok. Personally I think Asus makes great looking laptops, but the feel of Asus is far inferior to this Lenovo.I needed a desktop replacement for work (AutoCAD and Photoshop), so the graphics card was a must. To last the expected 4-5 years, I needed a quad core processor and 8 gb of RAM. For the money these specs can't be beat. Also Lenovo was rated the second most reliable laptop, after Apple, for 2011. I'd love a mac pro, but not for 2.5x's the cost and also would have to purchase new software.Really the only thing this is missing is a faster and larger HDD. For less than $150 I can get the Seagate Momentus XT and turn that weak bottle neck into a strength. Internet via wifi is pretty good and fast. Not like my hard wired desktop, but that's to be expected.Windows 7 is, well a typical MicroSoft POS product;/ I set up the network, but sometimes I can transfer files and sometimes I can't. A reboot and a prayer seems to be the only way to solve this issue. When I can't transfer files, it can be seen, but I will get a pop up window asking for user name and password. Since I never set one up, it's kind of hard to know what those are. Other times it works, so who knows what's going on. Windows 8 doesn't sound like it will be better, just different.Great computer for the price. Even on Amazon its listed as a $1000 computer ($300 more than what I paid).Over all I give this 4 1/2 stars rounding up to 5.

By pen boy
One of the main reasons I bought this was that I'm a gamer and I can't afford an alienware. My friend bought a Dell with exact same config (14 in screen though).My laptop won on all grounds, sustains longer. It's incredibly fast, loads quickly including games. Both of us play Borderlands on LAN. We both start the game together and mine ends up loading faster (with no programs running in the background for both of us). Best part is that, it absolutely makes no noise. There is a button on the laptop that switches on the graphic card and switches off when we don't need it, thus saving power.Only con i've seen is the battery life. It's been one year, although comaparatively doing better than dell, its reduced quite a bit.It has gone down from 6-7 hours to 3 hours max and this doesn't include the battery life when the graphic card is switched on!In this year, the windows crashed only once and that was due to my idiocy for running a software from a shady site.Hope this review helps. All in all a fantastic laptop. I'm an international grad student in the US and a hard core gamer. This deal worked out perfectly for me.

Disappointed
By jbdrydock
I took months to spec. this computer out for a business application and I'm totally disappointed. Two months into using and loading the computer and I have a fatal hard drive crash. Now after the repair, which took three weeks, this is not the same computer. Not the same software or speed. Sorry to say I will never buy another Lenovo again.
