    Excellent computer. Speed is way more than I need. The keyboard backlight is bright but not distracting. The keyboard has a good feel and is silent. The power button is above the keyboard, right under the screen. My previous Lenovo had it on the side and I often turned the computer off when adjusting it. This one prevents inadvertent turn-offs. The screen is very detailed with great resolution. This thing is HEAVY. It doubles the weight of my previous one. The power supply is large and heavy. Everything feels solid. It does not move around while using. The battery life is good but maybe not as long as hoped for. Overall a legend in computers.

    Awesome computer for school and work. Typing experience with the keyboard is also so smooth. Lenovo always do a great job with the keyboard. The only downside is the memory which you can update. Overall, it’s a good bargain for the price and performance.

    This was recommended after requesting an opinion of the computer. Even the tech that came to the house said it was one of two he would recommend. Said it’s built to last and the to increase storage, it’s affordable and easy to install.

    Little pricey for something that is hard to upgrade (compared to a desktop), but haven't had an issue yet. Works great (I use it primarily for gaming: BF2042, D2R, D3, etc...) I did upgrade the RAM in this thing for better performance.

    The chip prices are finally starting to come down and with the way things are going in the console field might as well start getting used to gaming on a computer. Except for Nintendo, all consoles nowadays are just computers so ...

    I bought this laptop a couple of months ago for my son who is in college so he can get all his homework done and play some games when he has some free time. He loves this laptop and tells me how fast and efficient it is even after all the hours he has put into the machine. I would definitely recommend this laptop for you if you are a college student or if you are looking for something strong enough that can support your favorite games.

    This laptop has been excellent so far. I use the laptop for personal use and it was a much needed upgrade since I haven't gotten a new laptop since 2013. I've used the computer so far for writing and for streaming on twitch, as well as editing videos and recording console game footage with a capture card.
