Battery: After nearly a week of usage, I have to say this laptop lasts me pretty much 5-6 hours before I start charging when it still has about 30% battery left. I use it in between classes and school work (basically light load) and it runs smoothly with no lag what so ever (thank you i5-cpu). Screen Color and Brightness: The max screen resolution is 1366 x 768, and the color is a bit off from full HD color, which kind of disappoints me. There is a variation out there that have a better FHD screen with 1920 x 1080 but not sure how to find it. However the screen looks nice if you use darker themes, and wallpapers, bright colors are wonky so generally I put it at 50% brightness and it looks best that way. Weight: This laptop surprised me with how much it weighs, it might have something to do with how well the plastic material is, because certainly it isnt because of the battery size. However this gives me a feeling of sturdy durability. Gaming: Okay, I havent tried the hardcore GPU demanding games on this laptop yet and I will not because I know it cant handle it. However, normal indie games like "Cross Code", or if youre a fan of Old school JRPG games like "Trails in the Sky" which both are on steam, it will run flawlessly. Well you know... the type that are described as "Game-able On-The-Go", and I just pop the game open in between classes if I have no other schoolwork I have to do. Sound: Nothing much to say, sound just sucks 4/10, it works fine, but when its above 50% volume, youll start to hear buzzing noises from the speakers. Just bring your own 3-mm jack earbuds/headset. Heck even Bluetooth earbuds work too (I use a pair of Jabra Elite 65t), since the laptop have Bluetooth built-in Overall Aesthetics: The midnight blue color is just so stunning, kind of a personal preference but the lowkey branding logo off the side, and modest clean look of the overall color and design, just fascinating and soothing to look at. Score: 7/10

My new Lenovo laptop looks fantastic on my dining room table. Unfortunately, right out of the box it will not boot. Literally will not boot, and as to be sent to Lenovo for repair. Im not a complainer or a review writer typically, but this is pretty disappointing and want to give others heads up when looking for economic laptops.

Well, I just retired after being a university professor and needed a laptop since the university-owned computers had to be returned. Ive used computers and laptops since they first started appearing in the market in the 1980s, from Kaypros, to IBMs, Dells, etc. Computers are a big part of my making a living. This computer totally satisfies my needs. I dont do any gaming on it, but plenty of writing, statistical analysis, viewing videos, making videos etc. It takes a while to get acquainted with the keypad -- but thats how it is with all new computers. Also, other than receiving the laptop lightning fast (1 day, but we live very close to the Amazon distribution center in San Marcos, Texas), I have had no need to request any other services from the vendor, so I will not comment on that. We purchased the 4 year warranty on the product -- last year I dropped a laptop trying to get through the TSA security at an airport -- so insurance may be a good idea, depending on how you plan to use it. For the money -- excellent buy.

this trash shrinks everywhere, except for something common at this price the screen, the wireless card, usb port and etc. the thermal pipes also the worst. the worst thing is that the power supply shrinks, as it arrived, noise appeared around cpu. not surprising, it died 5 days after because the power supply was burnt and the CPU was in short circuit when never powering on.

My CIO son picked this out for me. I am grateful that the keyboard isn’t touchy. I am more than pleased with the speed. My only gripe is battery life. Unless I have paid a hefty sum as in the past, I cannot seem to get a battery life that is reasonable.

I dont normally write reviews for things but this is genuinely the biggest rip off of a laptop Ive ever used. After a month conveniently right after the return window ended my laptop will hardly turn on let alone actually be used as a computer. It normally takes about 2 hours to actually get it running and then it is so slow that even so much as opening a browser takes 5 minutes to run. I am seeing red since as a college student I have next to no money so this was a big investment for me to be able to do course work. Please use your money on a better laptop

Eventhough it has the numbers on the keyboard it is still very light comparing to others laptop, it would be perfect if lenovo made the computer with full HD display... The laptop works great, the keyboard is smooth and the space between keys are great! Would buy it again for sure.
