(More customer reviews)As a longtime Apple PowerBook user(there are currently four in the house going back to 1998), the look, feel and build quality of this Lenovo is just right. In fact, I prefer many of it's qualities to the more current MacBooks. For one, the use of a matte screen is extremely welcome. Secondly, this notebook has superb ergonomics and a warm, tactile quality that is indeed very book-like - from the exterior metal covers and their soft, grippable texture to the leather-like palm-rest and silky smooth trackpad. The clever use of all these various materials and treatments to enhance the user experience is quite well done and the size and weight seem ideal. There is certainly an Apple-like attention to detail but I think the actual feel and look of this notebook is the polar opposite to that of current Mac's, which can come off as cold and sterile. Anyway, there are a few con's, as well as a few things that could have been executed just a little bit better. First up, the battery life is only about 3 hours. Combine the short battery life with the use of a standard HD (instead of a SSD) and I have to wonder just how much more battery life could have been achieved had Lenovo used a SSD. I also think the screen, while nice, could have been a little better with regard to viewing angle. For instance, it's nowhere near the quality of my ancient Powerbook G4 and it's Samsung-made screen, though, in fairness, no current Apple screen - matte or glossy - is that good either. The other cons come with the thin and light aspect I suppose. First, there are limited ports and there is no card reader. Secondly, upgrading this Notebook with, for instance, an SSD drive, or replacing the internal battery will require disassembly of the bottom half of the laptop. Overall, though, I believe this is one very nice notebook.
