I had a Lenovo in the past so I loved it so it was a brainer when I wanted to purchase another one.
The performance when it came to my DJ software was terrible. the Lenovo T410 with the DJ software running was using only 1% to 5% processor recourses. This one was up to 80%. I got many video card errors memory errors. Called Lenovo and they told me it was all driver issues and to use older drivers. I tried that foe a week but still had too many issues. Had to bail out... I don't understand how a i5 laptop from 5+ years ago can out preform a laptop with a i7 6 gen processor?

After comparing a dozen laptops in this price range this was the obvious choice. Very good build quality, professional looking. Was surprised that I could play some newer games on med-high settings, many other laptops at this price did not have dedicated video memory. I have experienced some issues with programs lagging when launched but I believe it's a Windows 10 issue. Also be aware that as of right now you cannot upgrade the RAM beyond 8Gb because there is only one memory slot but I have not felt that it was not enough. SSD would be a nice upgrade though. Doesn't get very hot, keyboard has a nice feel.

Overall, this is a great computer and I have been using it consistently for about 2 months now.
Pros: the hardware is great so far - I love that this computer has a number pad, and that the screen can rotate 360 degrees (although I don't see myself using this too often). The touchscreen works great, the screen and pixel quality are excellent. The keyboard and the multi-touch keypad work very well. The operating system is very fast and the computer has a great amount of hard drive space. This computer has all the specs I wanted in a computer with the exception of an 8 GB SSD. I was also impressed with how thin the computer is overall.
Cons: I don't have too many cons for this computer, but there are a couple of them. I don't necessarily think this is due to any hardware issues, mainly Windows 10 and driver issues. Initially I had issues with my wi-fi card and my Intel HD graphics card. The wi-fi would cut out randomly and the graphics card would too (although it would recover by itself). After some investigation I found that the drivers on Lenovo's website are not the most up to date drivers. The drivers they had were from when Windows 10 was initially released. I found more updated drivers here for the wi-fi card: https://downloadcenter.intel.com/product/86068/Intel-Dual-Band-Wireless-AC-8260
and here for the graphics card: https://downloadcenter.intel.com/download/25484/Intel-Graphics-Driver-for-Windows-7-8-1-10-15-40-. If you go to either of these websites, I would look for an even more updated driver. I have not had the issue after updating these two drivers.
So in summary, this is a great computer, but the drivers could be updated. For someone else having an issue with this computer, I would suggest trying updating the drivers first before just assuming it is the computer itself.

I am currently an architecture student in the Masters program and got this computer to get me through my last semester of college. So far it has had enough computing power to keep up with my needs, although there is a significant lag if I have rhino and autocad open at the same time. However, I love the touch screen. Still trying to figure out how to use it with photoshop though. My only complaint is that my graphics card has given out on my two times already, and I've only had it a month. Both times I was doing minimal tasks on the computer that shouldn't have overwhelmed it. Hopefully, updating the graphics card fixes the issue.

I've slowly become a fan of Lenovo. This one has everything I need, and then some. The memory and storage are great, the screen is very clear.
I'm not a huge fan of the touchpad, but I have a cordless mouse that works fine, so I use that.
The tablet function makes this really easy to use in my classroom. I can take attendance, enter grades, all while I'm walking around the room.
The only reason I can't give this 5 stars is the problem I have when the computer goes to sleep or hibernates. It will not wake up. I have to do a hard restart. It seems to be a common problem with this laptop.
Other than that, a great computer for the price.

This is a pretty decent laptop. I love that it has an illuminated keyboard. Like many new laptop's today it does not have a memory/HDD access port so you have to remove the entire bottom of the laptop to swap the harddrive if you choose to. Be sure to do some research first as not all SSD's are compatible with this unit as I learned. A samsung EVO does work i can attest to though. The touchscreen is a nice option but this laptop is pretty big so flipping the screen back and using it as a tablet is kind of out of the question I think. Overall I would give this computer a pretty good rating though and would suggest it to others!

This computer is absolutely wonderful, top of the line, great for traveling or use at home or in the office. Because of the type of internal stuff (sorry I am not tech talk savvy) it IS a heavier laptop. That is my only problem with it. However, that option wasn't enough to keep me away. I love that it is a touch screen and yet still has an attached keyboard. Check it out if you are looking to buy. The money spent is well worth it for the product you are getting in return!

I purchased this laptop to replace a HP which crashed. I like the fact that it can be folded over and use like a tablet - that is nice. It is a bit heavy and it blanks out a lot and comes back in just a few seconds. It does hold the charge pretty good - it does come with Windows 10, which I am not very fond of. Other than that I can live with it. Does have a new power connector port for power. Main problem that I have would be the weight - but overall it is a nice laptop

I like the size of the laptop and the ability to touch the screen rather than move the mouse for everything I need to do. I had a heck of a time getting the wifi set up. I bought the Lenovo and worked with their Help Desk for about an hour to try to get it to work. They concluded that there was a hardware failure. I traded it in and had the same errors, spent an hour with the help desk again and couldn't get it to work. My son looked up the problem and quickly found that the wifi driver was worthless and found instructions for locating and downloading one that would work. I had to buy a cable to connect to the Internet but it worked very well once downloaded. No wifi issues since then. My next challenge is to learn Windows 10... So far I am not a fan. But once I learn it my complaints will be nonexistent.

Thank you for choosing Lenovo! We're glad to hear you were able to find the correct driver update for your system. You might want to search YouTube for instructional videos on getting started with Windows 10: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fcBZCSs9IrQ

This laptop 2 in 1 has everything I was looking for in a new personal computer. I went looking for a and nearly bought a Microsoft - Surface Pro 4, but it did more functions than I needed it to and I got everything I wanted PLUS A LARGER screen and a faster CPU and a 1 TB HDD for a whole lot less than if I were to have got the ladder. I have and Alienware X-51 (2 years old now) and this little guy from Lenovo has the same dang punch and my full desktop minus a little off the graphics card and a corded power supply. This is in my opinion one of THE BEST Laptop 2 in 1 computers you can buy. BEST BUY is the ONLY place you can buy this setup from Lenovo because they don't offer it on their site. I know because I looked all over the net for it elsewhere. So good luck and hope this helps out.

First the good. I love the sleek design of this 2-in-1 and the touch screen is wonderful.Now the bad. First and foremost, I hate Windows 10. I constantly have to reset network adapter in order to reconnect to my wifi router. I tried 2 different routers and have four other computers running different operating systems that don't have this problem. Next the hardware. I ran Lenovo's hardware scan and it came back with a hardware issue, keep in mind this computer is less than a week old at this time. Lenovo says they will be happy to help me fix the problem for $200 a year or $70 for this event. Really? If I could go back in time, I would not have bought this computer, or any other for that matter, and stuck with my old laptop with Windows Vista.

Pros:
Fast i7 Processor
Fast Desktop Grade Graphics
Great Display
Feels great
Made well
Cons:
One memory slot. Keep this in mind while upgrading.
Display is slightly dimmer than the competitors
No SSD / Hybrid HDD
Slightly on the heavy side.
This is a desktop replacement in the thinnest package you can get, the screen is fantastic despite being slightly dim. The keyboard is wonderful and the trackpad is precise. There are many little features that are included that gives me faith in Lenovo.

The 15" screen is smooth and touch works as expected. Form factor is light and thin.
Being a windows laptop it takes a while when you start/restart/shutdown. But it is definitely a good laptop for this price

I've been very pleased with this laptop. With the Intel Core i7 processor, NVidia GForce graphics, and Windows 10 it has all the processing power and graphics to do all the photo & video editing I want and handles any of the games I've wanted to play. Even though I initially didn't expect to use the tablet feature very much when I purchased it I find it very useful especially in the "tent" mode. The lack of a internal cd/dvd drive hasn't been a issue with a additional external drive and the lighter weight & slimmer profile because of the lack of internal drive it a good trade off. The only knock I have is that the battery life does seem a bit on the low side but overall not weak enough to really downgrade the overall rating. The fact that I was able to get this as a "open box" and save a good amount of $ has even added to my overall satifaction with my purchase.

I purchased this laptop to use for my business for when I go onsite to meet with clients. I do CG/Motion Graphics work and didn't want to carry around a behemoth of a gaming laptop, but still needed something that would be powerful enough to do some 3D animation work. This laptop certainly does the trick and gives me decent rendering and realtime game dev work.
The 2 in 1 feature is good for when I need to do a quick presentation work for my clients. Plus being able to draw on the screen with Sketchbook Pro and Photoshop is a plus. I wish I could find a good pressure sensitive stylus that works with this, but it is only a minor issue.
The construction of the laptop is solid. A nice aluminum shell. It does not feel cheap.
Cons: The pad is a bit too sensitive at times and not responsive enough other times. Most of the time I use a mouse, but if I don't have a mouse, I wind up just tapping the screen rather than use the trackpad.
The "fn" is in the same spot as the Windows key on a normal keyboard. Which gets frustrating when trying to use the function keys.
Overall a great machine. Not a huge mobile powerhouse, but definitely a good performer where it counts.

I hesitated to put this kind of money into a laptop but my previous one had bit the dust. This was SO new that there wasn't even a model out on the showroom floor. I was told it had come in overnight. I decided to take a chance & am glad I did. There is a learning curve with Windows 10 but so far it seems worth it. The technical support is also great when I got myself stuck. Overall I am happy with my purchase.
