[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Wanted a quick windows laptop to handle programming and general tasks while my desktop handles heavier processing tasks. It's an excellent upgrade / replacement for a chromebook.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] A BitLocker Recovery within the first 30 days on a clearance item. Not sure what to think about this major recovery but it occurred during a Lenovo BIOS update and other MS updates. I was able to retrieve the key using my cellphone and recovered.
Keyboard barely visible. Must use bright lighting. Keyboard can illuminate from the bottom of the keys but barely even at max illumination. Definitely cannot make out the where the various function keys are. Last Lenovo, the cord kept falling out of the plug. Wouldn't hold in the cord tight enough and seemingly wore out. I'm afraid same is about to happen with this new one.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Nice machine at a good price. Replaced a laptop with hard drive, so of course it's worth it for boot up time with SSD (and Windows 10 was taking forever to populate taskbar - even before Microsoft added it to the tecno-trash pile.) My only complaint is shelf life of battery charge since I sometimes use infrequently.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have always had great results with my lenovo products in the past .I had a business building cnc Plasma tables where i purchased 1000 plus computers a year for my machines.. This computer certainly lives up to the super high demands and expectations i have for it..Lightweight,super fast and great features at an amazing price..
