In general im pretty happy. HOWEVER, you need to be fairly competant to install everything. A few issues with installing wi-fi. So the CD drive had a mechanical failure within the first couple of days ..... since Replaced with no fuss by Lenovo. I think for the price this was a good buy, but Compared to the ThinkPad (my work laptop), it is not as robust, and would not expect to last as long. For Example, the screen flexes somewhat. The ThinkPad is totally rigid, and feels better built. In terms of peformance happy in 100%. Very fast start up. Feels very fast for all general applications.
