4.0 out of 5 stars Very NICE after...., July 15, 2009

This review is from: Lenovo IdeaPad Y650-8343UT 16-Inch Laptop (Personal Computers)

Needed a thin 15"+ screen laptop. Got it on sale from Amazon. The first one I received the hard drive was freezing up so returned it. Customer service processed an exchange but received a refund instead. Wanted to order another one but the price went back up $100. Customer service verified initial return was suppose to be exchange not refund so after ordering the second one the price was adjusted to sale price. Second one works great.

PROS:
Thin - about 1 inch thick closed fits well in brief / attache cases
Weight - just over 5 lbs weighs less than my 15" Dell XPS
Screen - super bright and vivid LED brighter than my Dell XPS LCD laptop
Fast/Powerful - run several email suites,internet browsers & adobe programs without slowing or freezing
WIFI card - during a storm had a Toshiba, HP and Dell lose connection to router while the Lenovo not only held connection but continued to download drivers from internet
Sound - Loudest laptop owned thus far, JBL speakers do a very good job, doesn't sound small, doesn't distort, actually shakes the laptop a bit at max
Exterior - looks cool and different, black textured/rubberized shell - won't slip easily while carrying closed, copper color insert

Cons:
White Keyboard lacquer surround - gets dirty easily, ink on fingers transfers easily to white lacquer keyboard surround
DVD drive door - located in the front, opens toward you, frequently hit the open button as I like to rest laptop front on chest while working at home, all manufacturers should use slot style like DELL XPS

So about a month into it very pleased with the purchase. After mix up with Amazon Customer Service happy with Amazon overall for correcting situation without hassle.

We've been very pleased with the Lenovo laptop we purchased for our son for college. It has more bells and whistles than we were really looking for, but our son has been very happy with it. We would recommend this computer without reservation.
