Good workhorse, as such only recommended!

The notebook convinces as - implement - with good keyboard, a matt screen and usable, though getting used touchpad (I use prefer a mouse).

De operating speed is normal.

Battery life I have not tested, as it is usually associated with me at the net (with battery removed, which is not possible with every notebook)

Size and weight are quite suitable backpack, the housing also appears correspondingly stable.

After deleting the disk partitions and the Herunterlaen the drivers for Wndows 7 with Lenovo I could install Windows 7 and Ubuntu without any problems as a dual boot. At first I had tried to keep the installed DOS, but this gabs with Ubuntu problems. One should keep it at best, if you want to return the notebook might, otherwise it makes no sense ...

The notebook is not with the high resolution screen at first glance a bit pricey, but that is relative when the Qualtät the keyboard and serviceability (everything is evidently important screwed and readily accessible) are considered. Who has ever tried, knows how to replace the battery in a notebook what I mean ...

For mch especially the Linux compatibility was important to you is not dependent on Windows and has always a current system. My last notebook has survived with Lubuntu nearly 10 years, with Windows 7, it is hardly capable of running ;-)

Maybe I'm building sometime even a Mini-SSD in addition to the hard drive that is to supposedly go. Then it would be perfect.

Gamers and photo / design professionals will surely prefer another device, however, differs in images this regard, a notebook for me from the outset, but there are "real" PC with entsprechnden screens. To work, even on the go, the ThinkPad is optimal. The G-series of Lenovo I also liked in principle, is about 100 cheaper, but with poor keyboard and brilliant screen.

PS The matte black case is visually beautiful, but vulnerable to "fat finger" That may be a drawback for some, for me is not that crucial. All in all a great device!
