    The computer is thin, light weight, and has good processing power for the price. The setup was easy and there have been no problems so far. It is my first Lenovo purchase and so far I am pleased.

    Perfect for writing papers and basic researching. Lightweight for its size and great screen size so there’s plenty of space to lay everything out. Haven’t tried loading up with a crazy amount of programs but bough an external hard drive to keep space clear. The sleek blue top coat is scratch resistant. I’ve dropped my keys on it, my kids put things on it and not once have I ever got a gash. That’s no way saying do as you please and toss it around like a basketball, but if LIGHTLY rough with things, it’ll hold up to VERY MILD wear and tear.
