A bit much plastic, the price-performance ratio is but OK. Have on the G700 Windows 8.1. run, but always leads to problems: The screen remains black after several Windows updates because there probably are compatibility issues with the built-in graphics card. That drives me sometimes to madness because it is absolutely necessary to create a restore point for updates, because if the screen remains black, comes only times nothing and the update must match the "Rescue System" (after all, works quite well ) be made Backward. For beginners and people who do not get stuck in the matter and "plug & play" need, the G700 is therefore limited to recommend. Lenovo sees the pragmatic: The G700 is (so far) not recommended for Windows 8.1 and therefore you have to basically know how to help themselves, if you will have 8.1. Otherwise, it runs fast, well and quietly. The shipping was fast and reliable.
