Lenovo - Laptop / Intel® Pentium® Processor / 15.6" Display / 4GB Memory - Black

Have already provided reviews for this top laptop, the B570, with both the B950 and the i3 2330M processors but I could not pass this page. Yes, I have two of them with the above mentioned processors and they both are EXCELLENT. I also have a T410 Thinkpad ( with an i3 processor) and I feel the B570 series is possibly even better. Never gets hot, never slows down, never freezes, excellent HDMI connection, very nice spaced out keyboard, well built, it will get HIGHER MARKS on Windows Experience Index than most $800+ laptops. Just go to START, right click on COMPUTER, and click on PROPERTIES at the store before you buy a laptop and compare to top priced laptops. Like all laptops I do not know how long it will last but LEVOVO is a quality laptop manufacturer. Web camera is only 0.3 but still performs fine for SKYPE, touchpad is extremely precise and mouse never skips. Even in low light you can make out the keys. This review is now after several weeks of constant of two B570's in the family.

I bought this laptop last week, brought it home, got it all set up quickly, then downloaded and installed all of the windows updates. Once I had all of the updates installed I went ahead and installed my own software and updated all of that. Then I went ahead and configured the biometric fingerprint scanner and the secure drive option. So everything was working great and then on the next reboot the laptop would just sit at the "Please Wait" screen. It wasn't locked up as the hard drive was still being accessed and the caps lock would toggle on/off. So I knew that something was conflicting with Windows 7 at boot and I honestly thought it was one of the last windows updates that I had downloaded. After 2 complete windows reinstalls and some troubleshooting, I found that the included bioexcess software causes this problem. I was just about to return this thing to BB because I was so frustrated with it. Once I uninstalled the bioexcess software, it worked like a charm! The screen is bright and clear. The keyboard is amazing; this is my first chicklet type keyboard and I love it. IBM is known for having THE best keyboards ever, going back to the IBM PS/2 style keyboards. This keyboard doesn't disappoint. It doesn't flex in the middle like ALL of the others that I tried in the store (except the gateway with the chicklet style keyboard). I really wanted a Toshiba laptop since I already have one and it has worked great, but the new style keyboards are just plain flimsy. I am not a fan of the keypad since it inherently shifts the rest of the keyboard off center. The B950 dual core Intel processor is plenty fast for everything that I have thrown at it. And the HDMI port is a great option! The sound and speakers are the best I have heard in a laptop so far. The hard drive is a Hitachi and is plenty fast and quiet. Overall, I am thrilled with the laptop! Once I figured out the bioexcess problem and it causing Windows to hang on boot, this has to be the absolute best value laptop in this price range. The laptop runs cool and the fan kicks on only occasionally.

I bought this computer for personal use. I wanted something highly functional for a low price. Price was $329. I am very pleased with the computer. I was a bit worried about the keypad, which is 'chicklet' not traditional, but I really like the touch. It's a bit 'clicky' sounding, but not a drawback for me. I like the numeric pad feature, but will have to get used to the small '0' key- don't anticipate a problem. The picture quality is great, & although I've had to adjust the angle of the screen #just a once in a while# watching a video, it's streaming Netflix beautifully. It's much faster than our 2 year old Pentium Dual Core. DVD player works great too. If there is a media card reader on this computer I can not locate it! But I don't need it, so not a problem for me, may be for others. I WAS hoping that I'd get an i-3 2nd gen inside like other reviewers have, however I did not. I got the item described. It's a good bargain anyway. HOWEVER - I ordered online to pickup at the store. There I was given a box that had been opened and taped with 'tested by the geek squad' tape. I was told that the computer was the last one they had and that the geek squad had done the $99 Geek Squad thing, so since it was already done I could have it for 1/2 price. I told them I was not paying for it - I didn't order it for a reason, I know how to do the installs and restore disc's myself and do not pay others for that type of service. I will say I did not get much of an arguement from CS, just a look -and I got the Trend Micro 6-month service and Restore Disc for free after all. So 5 stars for the computer, 2 for BB Sioux Falls Geek Squad!

Bought this for my 11 year old son who is quite the gamer, he absolutely loves it, processing power is more than adequate, set up was unbelievably simple. 4GB Ram, 500 GB HDD, Clear-Big screen< Intel Inside...You'd be hard pressed to find bewtter value at this entry level price...did I say 500GB HDD with these HDD shortages driving prices up. Great overall Quality !!!!

I think there is something wrong with bestbuy listing. I bought this laptop and its showing Intel Core i3 inside. Am I getting something wrong? Till this time its comming up and showing signs as a great laptop for cheap. Folks go buy it if its core i3 for this price. Windows experience index is 4.6 which quite good for this price.

I just got this for 2 days. Set it up and beginning running flawlessly. Bootup is kind slow (85 seconds), but once it run, it is very responsive. Got 4.9 win7 experience score, which is higher than my dell 4310. The drawbank is the place for power supply, on left side of the laptop, I would rather it on the backside of the laptop.

The Lenovo Laptop / Intel® Pentium® Processor / 15.6" Display / 4GB Memory - Black Is one of the top of the line computers this is a very good buy!

Laptop working good so far. This laptop is fast, great picture quality and features for the price. You can't go wrong with this one.
