(More customer reviews)I've owned this notebook for about a week now and am extremely impressed. The amount of power you get for your money these days is unbelievable. The Core i3-380M is the second-fastest Arrandale-based Core i3 in Intel's mobile line-up, so its performance is very close to some of the lower-end Core i5 CPUs but at a more affordable price. The combination of this CPU and the on-chip integrated graphics make for a pretty cool (temperature-wise) machine. The fan doesn't come on all that often and it never gets too hot to the touch. So far it seems like I can get around 3 1/2 hours from the included battery.
The build quality feels nice and solid. There's not really any bending or flexing anywhere - no weak points I can find. The screen is bright and sharp and the 15.6" size is just right. It might be a little big if you planned on traveling with it a lot but I'll be using this mostly for home use. One of the advantages of this size laptop is the built-in numeric keypad. If you do a lot of work in Excel, for example, it's nice to have. Usually once you go down to the 14" notebooks you lose that feature. I'm also a fan of the keyboard. The keys aren't too loud but they have a nice feel to them, very easy to type quickly on. Some of the other notebooks I looked at have somewhat flat-looking keys, which seems to be the trend right now but seems more form over function to me. This keyboard is great though.
I swapped out the hard drive with a Kingston SSD and was impressed to see Lenovo using quality components. I'm sure they switch which components they use from time-to-time, but mine came with a Western Digital Scorpio Blue hard drive (which I'm now using as an external drive for back-up) and a couple of sticks of Samsung memory. Everything looked nice and tidy under the hood.
All-in-all I'm very pleased with my purchase and would highly recommend this. For not much more money than a lot of netbooks (and cheaper than most tablets) this is way more powerful and functional.
