Frustrating Keyboard Re-Design & only 2 USB Ports!

Purchased my first Lenovo at an outstanding price about 7 years ago. I loved it so much that I decided to get the updated version when the mother-board on the old one stared to fail. As much as I love the speed and relatively light weight of this new 17" Ideapad, I am considering returning it because of the aggravation I'm experiencing with the new keypad design! They have enlarged the Up-Arrow Key and moved it up into the bottom line of text keys in between the backslash and right shift key. To do this they had to shorten the shift key so now whenever I try to right-shift I end up hitting the Up-Arrow which sends the cursor to the line of text above. I literally have to stop typing and look at the right-shift key every time I need to use it otherwise I have to go back and figure out where the cursor has jumped to and correct the out of place type before I can proceed. This keyboard design is hindering my typing speed an accuracy which is causing issues with my work productivity... Please Lenovo, change it back!
The second issue I have with this new computer is that there are only 2 USB ports so by the time I plug in my mouse and laptop fan they're full... something has to be unplugged if I want to transfer data. I guess I didn't pay close enough attention when I purchased it assuming it would be just like my old one. This is an easier fix than the keyboard though. I won't be buying another Lenovo until they correct their keyboard design.

With regard to the right shift key issue you mention, there is a free software APP called KeyTweak that may help you. You can switch the key functions of specific keys on your keyboard with this software, so you could change the right shift key with the key you hit in its place. Just Google search "KeyTweak" and you will find articles about what the software does and you will find the download location for this free APP. Additionally, if you need more USB ports, you might consider using a USB hub with this device.

Every once in awhile the curser goes wonky and you lose complete control. It moves all over the place and to say the least, it's very annoying. I found that the only way to fix it is to press the up, down and side arrows for a few seconds - sometimes pressing all of these keys at the same time corrects the issue as well. Other than that I'm very happy with it.

I've been using the Lenovo 17" computer for approximately 2 months and still love it. It has the built in number keypad, the 17" screen really makes it easy to read spreadsheets and anything else that I need to read or work with. Easy setup. Not a ton of bells and whistles, but I'm really not into that. I would highly recommend. My last laptop was a Toshiba Satellite - this is the better of the two!! Only complaint is the right "shift" button is a little too far to the right - I tend to hit the page up button more than I care to.

It becomes slow

I just bought this laptop because it seems to be a good option, I wanted it to software development, but after using it for a couple of hours only having installing Chrome and trying to browse to many tabs at the same time and running some programs it becomes too slow, then it restart because some updates I had to wait for almost 4 hours until finish, after updating everything is worse... I won't recommend it. It's a pity a model with Intel core i7 is too slow, I don't like it

This sound like an issue with the software that has been installed and/or a problem with the Windows 10 updates. This system is equipped with OneKey Recovery System. There is a very small pin hole on the left side of the device, right near the power jack on the device. You will need a pin to push this reset button. Plug the device in. Let the battery charge for about 15 minutes. Push the reset button. The system should boot to a choice screen where you can choose "Restore To Factory Default". Select this. It will delete everything from the hard drive except the original factory install of the operating system. You will need to reinstall all programs and files after the reset. If you don't have copies of the files, try to make one before you restore by selecting "Boot to desktop" and trying to back up your files.

Very impressed with the speed and capability of this laptop. However, less than two months of ownership, it started acting inappropriately - and finally failed. Geek Squad diagnosed it as having a bad hard drive and also a bad mother board. They chose to give credit rather than repairing it.

This laptop seemed very cheaply made when we took it out of the box. Within a week it started freezing up and requiring multiple reboots to get it working again. We exchanged it for a different brand. Wouldn't recommend this to anyone.

This is my third Lenovo laptop. It's a great laptop and I love the 17" screen! The only drawback I found is that the Microsoft Office software was not preloaded and I had to purchase Word separately.

We purchased this laptop for our buisness. We may have logged 20 hour total on the laptop when it just stopped working. No lights no power. Called the company and they explained we had to pay to ship the laptop back to them and explained every would be lost that was stored on it. Called our local best buy to see if they could recover the info and for 100 they could do so. So now we are stuck with a like new laptop because I don't feel it should cost us almost 200 to get it fixed. Thanks best buy!
