I really enjoy having this laptop! It's great with all of the work that I have to do as a student and even better when I just want to surf the web or watch shows. The apps that are offered are really accessible and easy to maneuver through. I love that I have the best of both worlds, the keyboard and the touch screen. I can do everything on the laptop using just the touch screen the same as using the keyboard/mouse. Hard to believe that this is refurbished because it honestly works just like a new one! The price is definitely awesome because you're paying a minimal amount for a maximum laptop! :) There's nothing that I don't like about the laptop, other than the touch screen can get messy with the fingerprint swipes, but that's easy to just clean with a cloth.

This laptop was purchased for my son, so I'm forwarding from him. He loves it. He wasn't sure he would with Windows 8, but it being a touch screen, it works. It has a lot of memory and storage for a fraction of the price, since it was refurbished and he says that it runs perfectly fine, no problems. It is very slim and easy to carry, also.

This seemed like a good deal, but the Wi-Fi antenna was bad. Showed weak signal and dropped connections often. Could not even get through the setup process. Returned and got a new HP which worked perfectly out of the box. Design seemed good, but clearly Lenovo did not refurbish the unit to working condition.

Lenovo has done it. This laptop offers a lot for the money. It's refurbished by manufactures specs. That and the price takes the concern away. I would recommend this laptop to anyone.

Lenovo popup ads very annoying & Lenovo's fix was to complex. After downloading Windows 8.1 I couldn't connect my wireless printer. When I transferred my Office Word files, I was not able to open then, the error message indicated "no such path". Even though I am "above average" in Computer operations, the overall frustration was to great.

Great laptop but...
Posted 12 years ago.
This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.
This 15" version was selling at a very good price, so I grabbed it. I've been using it a few hours each day during the first week, so I'm accustomed to Win 8 now. The good: Backlit screen that you can turn on or off. Touchscreen that's very responsive. Solid construction. Win 8 OS that does what it's supposed to do with no snags or crashes. DVD/CD drive! #don't are what they say, but many of us still need/want that dvd/cd drive on our laptops# The bad: Cannot install Win 8.1. Contacted Lenovo and was informed that some of their products -such as P500- are not ready for Win 8.1 because of possible driver incompatibilities. I probably would not have purchased this had I known in advance. Nor would I had wasted 5 hours trying to attempt to install Win 8.1. Google search and you'll find that many Win 8.0 computers are having problems with downloading or installing Win 8.1. Because of this blunder on part of Microsoft and Lenovo -to be fair there are other brand names that are having the same problem- I cannot recommend this laptop until MS and Lenovo fix this. Otherwise, I'm happy with its performance.

I was really excited about this computer. It had everything I wanted except the high resolution screen, but I figured I could deal without that... especially for the great price. However, when the computer arrived, the back lit keys did not light up. Also the colors in the screen are not vibrant AT ALL. Very pale. I took it back to Best Buy and they gave me a refund.

QuestionCan u install a ssd drive in the place of the dvd burner?
Asked 12 years ago by Anonymous.
- Answer Yes. There are many 3rd party solutions that offer an SSD and a wrapper so it directly replaces the DVD. The 250Gb (around that size) is a sweet spot value for size and price in early 2014. BB has SSD drives, I do not know if they offer the wrapper to fit the optical bay. See Intel 530 Model: BBSSDSC240A4K5 SKU: 1780055

Questionwho refurbished these laptop? manufactory or seller? will geek squad provide complimentary repair if it has problem since it is refurbished?
Asked 12 years ago by Anonymous.
- Answer Lenovo. No. If it makes you nervous, get some type of warranty from BestBuy. They do good work, at least at the Hadley, MA location. To my knowledge, lenovo does not offer a warranty on this refurb. (Boo! Hiss!) I would love to be proved wrong and get one from them.

QuestionWhy are the speakers located on the bottom, does that affect the quality?
Asked 12 years ago by Anonymous.
- Answer Of course a bottom mounting affects the sound, and not in a good way. If it is on a hard surface it can reflect back to you OK. This being a LAPTOP, it will often reflect off the soft fabric in your lap. (And a big "D'oh to Lenovo) I find decent ear buds or headphones are the best solution for laptop sound. Earbuds - read reviews before spending big bucks. Many reviews state there is little or no difference between the $10 and $80 buds. Or headphones. But get what you want.
