I love this laptop (or notebook) so much I had to write a review, which is kind of difficult as there are so many sites and listings to choose from. This listing most closely reflects the actual specs of my laptop.

The main reason I chose it was the ddr3 motherboard, which I am hopeing to be able to upgrade in a year or so. Right now it performs exceptionally well in all areas but one. Of course graphics are going to be limited in a computer with no dedicated graphics card. The shared memory graphics are just fine and I am able to do all but the most rigorous applications. For example, I am able to play DDO at 'very high' graphics, though it runs better at 'high' graphics. The screen allows for 720 HD video playback.

The keyboard is very nice. Beveled edges make typing a breeze. The touchpad is wonderful. I could not really imagine anything more smooth and slick to use. It zipps across the screen and responds to the lightest touch.

The speakers are a little (lot) weak, but it is a laptop, whatever. I use headphones. Nice volume controls on the main panel above the keyboard (touch). The One-Key backup utility is nice, though I imagine I will not use it, as it is very stable and McAfee seems to keep everything malignant in order. I have had only a couple of blurps and these were wimpy little adware items.

I would like to see a higher screen refresh rate option (Hz) such as 75 or 85 or 90, etc. But, if you are looking for a super duper deal, get something more expensive. I was looking for a cheap computer and found this one. I plan on spending my money on building my home computer. This is just a portable, light, wonderful machine for doing things on the fly and getting my business done, like looking for a job (ha).

So, thank you Lenovo (China) and may you always prosper and deliver the goods.
