*** Linux, Windows ****

Foreword
After almost 1 year of intensive use of the Lenovo G700 allow me retreaded my former Resension readjust.
The most for me was missing "feature" is the keyboard light *. Furthermore, the few USB ports are disturbing, because although you can connect a USB hub, this but the "mobility" severely limits. Also seems to be the "data" to be utilized quickly, noticeably through "hanger" on the progress bar when "multitasking".

The lack of 1GB network connection can get over the problems with Bluetooth and the White List (no BIOSmod any) under Linux, however, are a nuisance. So I would rate the laptop in the present my version ** for Linux users with *** (three) stars, for Windows users with **** (four) stars. In several used by my programs, such as VirtualBox, the processor (i3 third gene) comes despite SSD and RAM upgrade up to 8GB to its limits; here today I would rather for greater access model (eg with i7) or the Umbauwagen ().
