The I-5 memory core is fast and responsive for multimedia, 1TB of storage is a huge upgrade from my previous desktop PC. The integrated graphics card with HDMI is great. I can play some PC games with stunning graphics or just do research & watch videos. I plan to expand the RAM.

Pros: 1. Got it on a deal for $499 2. Fast quad-core processor that can turbo-boost 3. Nearly silent, I can barely notice it is running. 4. It has a very stylish and modern looking case, not over the top. You can easily be proud of this on your desk at work, or have it at home and it looks stylish and professional. 5. Lots of USB 3.0 ports, and the two front USB 3.0 ports are in a wonderful spot, easy to access. 6. It has a hybrid hard drive that is plenty fast. This thing boots cold in about 5-10 seconds at the most. Cons: 1. The keyboard is awful, out of the box it has a very sticky space-bar and fatigues your thumbs when typing. I tried prying it off and shaving off what I thought was the problem but it only helped a little, but it still is very stiff. I have a Lenovo Yoga 710-15 and it has an awful keyboard as well so Lenovo does not have a good track record for keyboards. 2. The graphics card it comes with only has connections for an hdmi and a vga, which is not enough. I am currently running a USB powered DVI connector, so when I use my third screen, it takes up roughly 30-40% of my CPU to do things on that screen. 3. I emailed Lenovo weeks ago to get an answer as to what and how I can upgrade this machine with, and they have not answered me back. I still want to know how I can upgrade this to a better GPU that has more connections so I do not have to run a USB powered screen extender. Please Lenovo, get back to me on this so I can upgrade this machine. I have spend over $1,500 on Lenovo computers in the last month so please do not lose my future business over not contacting me back. Overall: For $499-$600, it is hard to compete with this machine. It can run most modern games on low settings and 720p at 30-40 frames per second, which would be comparable to a modern console. This can be used as a casual gaming machine and even better as a workhorse for your career as I am doing just that. Overall, a great computer.
