5.0 out of 5 stars great laptop for the price, March 24, 2009

This review is from: Lenovo 3000 N500 Notebook 2GHz 15.4" 1GB RAM 160GB HDD - Model 423352U (Personal Computers)

I purchased this laptop a little over a week ago and I love it! It's light in weight compared to the old Compaq Presario laptop I have. I did upgrade to 3GB RAM (maximum 4GB) to help Vista run faster. It's burns pics to CD's with no problem. Has alot of features of a desktop computer. I haven't tried playing a movie yet. Speakers are a little tinny-sounding. No surprise there, so I just purchased inexpensive external speakers and that helped. It comes with Vista Home Basic as the OS. The Windows Picture Gallery is very basic so I downloaded Yahoo's Picasa which is fun to play with and organize/fix favorite photos. The webcam feature is fun to play with as well. I downloaded Skype and chatted with a friend in Virginia. I've read reviews about this laptop on other sites regarding the battery life only lasting between 3 to 3 1/2 hours. Not an issue for me since I have convenient wall outlets in my favorite comfy spots. The AC adapter gets a little warm but that's all. I'm only on the laptop 2 to 2 1/2 hours tops anyway. I'm too old-school for the touch pad so I disabled it and use a USB mouse. By the way, did I mention there's 4 convenient USB ports? If you're looking for an inexpensive laptop to surf, email or organize your pics, you can't go wrong with this one. I wouldn't recommend this laptop for computer games though, but I would recommend it to a friend. Hope my review helps!

For the price, Its terrific. I just got mine a little over a week ago, My stepdad got an HP at the same time and his HP messed up in a matter of days! He paid almost double of what i paid for my computer. I got this computer when it was on sale for $399 and it was the best thing i've done as far as electronics go. This computer runs great and if anyone is wondering the webcam is amazing. The touchpad for the mouse takes a little getting use to though but its great once you're use to it. The most this computer needs is a memory upgrade and those are fairly cheap so the computer is worth every dime.

No doubt this is an amazing deal. For a price of a good Netbook computer you get a full featured Laptop. It is not a laptop for gaming but with 2GB of RAM it runs almost every internet application prety fast.

Go grab it. I am considering buying another one.
