A nice solid laptop, easily upgradeable. Includes DVD drive, and pretty snappy right out of the box ; Not too much add on software, with fingerprint reader, matte screen, responsive touch pad, and Windows 7 right out of the box..Perfect

None as of yet, and hopefully to come

Solid feeling laptop. Looks fantastic ; Fingerprint reader is a nice touch, though haven't gotten it to work 100 percent of the time yet ; Keyboard is fantastic, nice responsive and almost mechanical feel ; Screen is great, antiglare makes viewing nice...

I haven't run into too many yet. The fingerprint scanner can be a little wonky at times, but it does work. I really can't fault anything on this laptop yet, will update review if anything sticks out down the line

Great specs for the price ; Nice build quality, feels very premium ; Keyboard is responsive and satisfying to use ; Trackpoint makes it convenient to switch between using the mouse and keyboard ; Great touchpad ; Fingerprint reader is nice to use ; Has...

Non-standard charger and keyboard layout (Fn key is where the Ctrl key should be and vice versa) ; TN panel instead of IPS display ; Battery life is somewhat short

None really but SSD would be a plus

Great value. Upgrading RAM and installing SSD was straightforward and is now very speedy.

Screen doesn't have great viewing angles

Powerful laptop, quiet, good build quality, reasonable price.

Doesn't ship with a Windows 8.1 DVD and Lenovo will only courier copies (how quaint) - no downloads. This is a free service. You can download the 8.1 DVD image from Microsoft and it will activate OK (licence is in the BIOS) once you sort out the...

Fast as expected. Extra function keys such as calculator launcher, Explorer launcher and browser launcher. Good screen. Antivirus - Norton - pre-instaled.

No lights for Caps Lock, or Num Lock. To use function keys such as "F2" in spreadsheet program have to press "Fn" key first. Default .pdf reader is a paid for option after free trial. Pre-instaled Norton anti-virus not cheapest option available on the...
