Great laptop with good price

I purchased this laptop one month back from best busy. So far this computer is working properly. Before purchasing i made good survey about all laptop. Finally i ended up with two laptop. Sony Vio NZ series and Lenovo thinkpad, the price was almost same. But i decided to go for SL410. Since it is new to market and good configuration. After being used for one month, i felt i made a good choice. All the programs which i was running in XP is working fine in win 7 professional. So i am happy about this product.
Only draw back i found is there is only 2 USB ports which is in convinient. And this laptop always IE is crashing. So i installed Firefox it just works fine.
One more ting i liked is batter backup, as of now it is coming 2.5 to 3 hrs. I feel for 649 USD it is good product with good configuration.

I own and have used several IBM thinkpads over the years, many still in use. The IBM T and A series have been solid performers and the new Lenovo SL410 seems to be well suited to continue the tradition. Bought the machine primarily for Win 7 Pro 64bit as packaged (great value) and the perfornamce has beeen excellent. Great battery life, and the graphics are superb, with excellent clarity, surpassing other machines looked at such as the HP 6930 series. As a legacy thinkpad business user, must point out I only considered machines with trackpoint. This clearly amongst the best in this price range.

Good Laptop for Small Business and Home Use

Most of the business notebook I used before were Thinkpad's from my previous jobs except when i work for HP which of course I have to use HP notebook :-) When I saw this online at Bestbuy I told myself, I have to get one for myself to use for my business and personal use as well. The laptop is fast, I love the keyboard and the built of the laptop very sturdy as compared to other laptop built. Windows 7 is still have some bugs so hopefully it will be fix with all the updates coming from Microsoft.
If you are looking for a professional notebook this Thinkpad will be a good choice and it is great value for money.

I was looking for a good performance, smaller laptop when I went to BestBuy. This laptop was hidden away from the regular section where the laptops were displayed. This is exactly what i wanted ;14 inch screen, light and portable, good battery life, runs cool , and i do not have to worry about the case getting all scratched up. The computer comes with windows 7 professional ( better than home versions) 4 gb of ddr3 (newest type of memory), no bloatware (all those useless programs you will never use filling your hard drive) , and awesome , easy to use lenovo utilities. This is a great computer from a good company. It does cost a little more than most of the laptops on sale. But its worth the money in my opinion

So far, I'm quite pleased with the SL410.
Much less expensive than I usually spend for a work computer.
Keyboard is good, nice big hard drive. I'm still getting used to Windows 7, but so far, so good. Occasionally, the screen has to be angled in just the right way, or some things wash out, but overall, pretty clear.
So far my one big disappointment is that I have some software that needs to run in "XP mode". And although that is supposed to be available with 64 bit Windows 7 Pro, it turns out there is a hardware component that is required to use the feature, and the SL410 doesn't have it. (The processor needs to have "virtualization technology".)

as said in pros and cons. It's a good looking light laptop, performance is between the average, perhaps slower... Overall the price matches its value...

Warning - don't buy a ThinkPad - you'll be sorry

Before buying the ThinkPad X61 I did TONS of online research, including editor's and user reviews. I don't know what has been worse, the Thinkpad itself or Lenovo's customer service. I can't believe I paid almost $2,500 for this piece of junk. Thanks to this experience, I WILL NEVER BUY A LENOVO AGAIN. In the first year, 2 hard drives had to be replaced - one time it crashed while I was on a business trip with a deadline looming - I had to stay up til 4am recreating a proposal in the Hilton business office. STRESS STRESS STRESS!
The letters on the keyboard wore off twice so you can't see what keys you're tapping. For six months I couldn't figure out why I could barely hear anything - I adjusted the sound settings in control panel, nothing worked. Finally figured out the problem - THE SPEAKERS ARE ON THE BOTTOM. WHAT SENSE DOES THIS MAKE? I have to hold up the front edge of the laptop so I can hear the sound of any video clip or song.
And like some reviews now disclose, it runs really hot - your lap will burn up with the Thinkpad on top of it.
Also, the screen gets dirty easily and looks so greasy you would think you ate a pizza on it. Mind you, I don't eat while working on my laptop. Called Lenovo and they told me to clean it with a dry Kim Wipe. All that did was smear the greasy smudges around. When the light hit the screen at certain angles, all you could see was smudgy grease. After tolerating this for a year, a helpful clerk at Radio Shack recommended a spray cleaner that solved the problem.
In addition, programs like Word, Outlook are always freezing, crashing. I can't send or receive emails in Outlook without constant problems - every time I try to send an email it tells me there's an error - EVERY TIME. If I re-send it immediately that usually solves the problem - but that means that EVERY time I try to send an email I have to let it try and fail and then have to hit send a second time before it will work. Paid a computer service hundreds of dollars to check out settings, re configure things. Still nothing but problems. While typing the screen resolution will suddenly change and the text will be HUGE. It is also very annoying that the mouse will drag down by itself while I'm trying to navigate my screen. Some reviews noted this problem, and it's a common occurence.
When they replaced the hard drive for the 2nd time, they told me the extended battery I paid extra for had also gone bad - but it's not covered by the warranty.;
And to think I paid nearly $2,500 for this piece of junk!!!
To Best Buy's credit, I didn't buy my ThinkPad from them - I got it from Lenovo direct - DON'T MAKE MY MISTAKE! They messed up my order from jump - first, I waited four months to get the printer that was included - apparently they forgot. One month after buying the Thinkpad the hard drive crashed and what did I get with my warranty? A REFURBISHED HARD DRIVE. Funny, when I paid $2,500 for this laptop, it wasn't for a refurbished one. Lenovo also messed up my warranty. In ten years of owning a business, I have ALWAYS purchased the next day on site business warranty with every laptop I've ever purchased - ALWAYS. When the Thinkpad melted down on my business trip, they told me I'd have to pack it up and ship it to them for repair because they sold me the wrong warranty. So I had to work all night for 8 hours nonstop til 4am in a Hilton business center to re-do a proposal that was due that day - and miss the last morning of the conference I was attending.
The second time the hard drive crashed I was bedridden after being in an accident and was stuck at home in a wheelchair. I couldn't walk or drive. My laptop was my connection to the outside world, and how I ordered groceries, paid my bills. What a nightmare to have to melt down a second time in less than a year. I was lost with no computer.
If I could have rated this a zero I would have - unfortunately I had to give it one point. After years of problems with PC laptops, I give up. Thanks to Lenovo my next laptop will be a Mac.
Would I recommend this to a friend? NO NO NO. Would I recommend this to an enemy? YES if I really hated them.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend

So far so good, I've had the item now for about 3 weeks, the screen is crisp bright colorful and clear, it came with windows 7 pro and loving it, the hardware configuration is great, it is a great computer for under $600. I feel confident Lenovo is continuing the Quality Thinkpad tradition.
