Ultra-portable Laptop with dedicated graphic card
on December 20, 2016
Posted by: HelloWorld
This is a very well-priced laptop with all round specs and dedicated graphic card. I have been researching laptops for more than a year and I basically know all the models in the market. While it is not the thinnest or lightest laptop, I can tell you it is the best ultra-portable laptop for the price you pay for if you factor in all the hardware included. I have purchased this laptop for about a month and so far it meets my expectations.
This laptop is perfect for you if you are any of the following type of users:
- media consumption
- college student of all majors
- basic graphic/video editing
- business users who need to analyze some decent size spreadsheets (1-2 GBs) or manipulate database stored on your laptop
- occasion gamer

Good:
- Good battery life: word processing/ web processing: ~ 8 hours. video streaming: 5-6 hours
- Very fast and responsive: less than 3 seconds to log into Window, never experience major lag when running applications
- thin and light: 15.6" Laptop with 14" laptop's form factor
- very thin bezels while webcam still stay on the top bezel
- Very well built - all aluminium with no flex
- finger-print sensors for window login
- gorgeous and formal looking
- dedicated graphic card allow occasion gaming and data science projects: 940 MX is not a powerful graphic card but it can handle some basic stuff
- Wifi card is good.
Meh:
- Right Shift Key placed on the right of the Up arrow key - weird but not that hard to get over
- webcam: It will serve the purpose, but not the best laptop webcam even it claims it is HD webcam.

Bad:
- No USB type C: I am indeedn disappointed knowing that there is no USB-C port. It will be a lot more future proof if is has USB_C

- CPU fan sometimes does turn on even there is little workloads, but usually it turns off quickly and it does not happen that frequently. Just restart your laptop if it keeps turning on.
- If you are pondering the options between this one and the i7 version, I highly recommend you to buy this instead. i5(7200U) and i7(7500U) basically perform the same if you look at the benchmark. So you are basically paying $150 more for extra 8GB rams, which is expandable on this laptop.

I cannot see this configuration in Lenovo Website. Is this Best Buy exclusive? Is there a difference is size between to old 6th gen 710 and this new 7th gen 710?
Yes. It is Best Buy exclusive. 6th gen and 7 gen is referring to the CPU. 7th gen(kabe lake) is the newest version of the CPU. It is consume less energy(longer battery life) and slightly more powerful than the 6 gen
