[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Perfect! I like to have the number pad available on the keyboard so i needed a 15in at minimum, but that fits very easily into my backpack, so its super convenient for travel. Computer itself... works great!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] So far everything is great. It took two months to get it shipped. It would be nice to have a fitted case available.
Everything was great. Just update your wifi driver

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Everything was great on the laptop. I did need to update the driver on the wifi card when I received it because it was producing a known issue.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] So far, no complaints. Not comfortable giving 5 stars till I have a longer period of time to experience what it has to offer.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Just replaced my 6 year old Thinkpad Edge w/this. I've on;y had it going on 2 weeks. Big improvement. If it holds up like the previous Lenovo laptop, I'll be a happy camper
Overall I am pleased with this laptop. I have had it for 6 mos now. It is snappy fast, good screen. I like the keyboard better than the "chiclet" keys found on other laptops and it has the 10 key I use a lot in Excel. It gets warm to the touch when charging, but not uncomfortable hot like some other laptops I tried. And the charge time is great.
It is a little heavier than some, but I drag this thing around all day between office and labs and I like the milspec rating and the solid feel.
The battery life is not the greatest among the competition, but I knew that when I bought it and so far have had no problems with battery life.
There are two things that keep this from 5 stars. First, the fingerprint reader is hit or miss. When I open the lid in the morning, no reader. I usually have to open/close the lid a couple of times before I can log in. The other minor annoyance is Lenovo likes to push BIOS updates. I have had more BIOS updates on this laptop than I had on my last 2 over 8 years. The BIOS update frequency is annoying. The failure of the fingerprint reader keeps this at 4 stars.
Overall, happy with the laptop. I hope I can get years of service out of this one.
