I purchased this laptop at the beginning of January 2019 based on Lenovo's reputation and my requirements. The machine is lightweight, responsive and very good screen resolution. Much to my surprise though I had to take the computer to Geek Squad in mid February because of constantly loosing the Wi-Fi connection. The laptop is still at the Geek Squad repair center waiting for repairs because of defective parts. You would think that a $740 laptop would be more reliable. I have only made 1 payment with a 2nd one due in a few days, and I still do not have use of the computer. Very surprised at how things have worked out so far. Very glad I bought the Geek Squad annual contract because their service has been wonderful. The jury is still out on this Lenovo laptop.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend

Nicely designed and reasonably light. Usually prefer Thinkpads, but decided to give this a try. Only wish it had an ethernet port.
