Perfect Buy!

I got this laptop 5 days back. I got it from a local dealer. This laptop was not available on flipkart. I installed windows 8 which works perfectly fine.. Windows 7 or lower may come over with few problems installing drivers.. Pros : 1) Specs in this price.. (Awesome) 2) It feels good while typing.. keyboard layout is perfect. 3) 2GB Graphics( ATI Sunpro 8570 is better than geforce 720m ) 4) Silent Fan. The fan is totally noiseless and doesn't let the machine heat up.. 5) Gaming : I just tried playing GTA IV and few other games.. GTA IV : It works perfectly on medium settings.. lag sometimes while its raining or the car explodes.. played it continuously for 8 hours and there was no heating problem as compared to other laptops of HP and Samsung which might heat. Hitman Blood Money : I know its an old game but works perfectly with high graphic settings. Counter Strike Source : Works fine with high graphics and highest resolution without any lag. I know i tried playing old games which need less graphics but i like to play these games only.. 6) Speakers are nice as compared to other laptops.. sound quality is also nice. 7) New kind of charger pin.. it looks like to be USB but its not.. 8) HD Camera, Ethernet LAN, 2 USB 3.0, etc.. Cons : 1) Simple Looks.. The looks are too simple and no chrome has been used. Covered with Plastic.. But the built quality is nice.. 2) Touch Pad is not very responsive and the keys are a little hard to press as compared to other HP pavilion and Dell Inspiron.. but i prefer using external mouse.. Conclusion : One can buy it without thinking twice. I love this machine :D :D thanks to my mum and dad for getting me it as a gift :) :)

Not a best deal

I bought this laptop 1 month back. Its not a best deal, I spend extra money to extend its internal memory up to 8GB. Issues:- > Heat > Battery Backup > Camera quality > Touchpad I will suggest to go with G500s or G500 (59-370358).

Best performance Laptop

I bought this laptop one year ago from a local dealer. This was not available in flipkart when i purchased it. In my personal experience every thing is working as expected. But only a very irritating problem i had was the laptop doesnot boot properly. Since I was using Windows 7 i could not complain about this. But hey It should work with all Windows OS right? Totally disappointed with this booting problem till date and I'm still living with this problem. Changed the OS and did re-installing Windows 8 preview release version to check if I can solve the problem. But with no use. I have to remove the battery and reinsert and restart every time I face this problem and this is ridiculous while you have some important work or at times when you show off your laptop to you friends. Dear Lenovo please verify and test the dos installed laptops with Windows 7 or 8 and do a quality check. I had a good thought about Lenovo company and this little machine ruined this trust I had for you. Pros: 1. i5 processor (so you can do multitask with ease) 2. Less heating problem 3. Silent while it runs. 4. Keypad is really good for typing for long time. 5. Specially made for windows 8 and you can find the drivers in the cd provided with the product. But Windows 7 works and supported well too. 6. Vouchers- I got speakers and two headsets(But no information on how to renew the coupons. Most people with not much internet knowledge just ignores the) 7. USB 3.0 ports(Fast data transfer with USB 3.0 supported HDD or pen-drives - around 70mbps) Cons: 1. The boot problem I had(it happens once in 10 - 20 boots not daily). 2. Caps lock led light or screen notification is not available. My uncle's three year old low cost lenovo laptop had this feature. 3. The make is not so sturdy. The lid is some what bendable. whereas the other lenovo laptops i used has got sturdy(hard to bend) lid. 4. Headset and USB ports are in a single row and it is very hard to plug the headset and USB cable. Use only one either USB or headset. Why does not they have gaps in between. 5. Unable to easily use the normal keys like f1 - f12 as this has got different functions. So if you are a programmer as i am. It wil be less comfortable for you to use these key by pressing the function key everytime you have to use these key. 6. The freebies are told of about 2000rs worth but it just cost 1000rs.(Three gifts price = 350+300+300). Overall a very good product for a very good price. Performance wise its a very good laptop. Inspite of all the cons I use this laptop everyday for my office and programming use. And I also use for browsing the internet. Everyday normal users just go for it.
