The notebook itself is new and externally in this regard are no reasons for objection. Slightly disappointed but not surprised I was about the Zusatnd the battery. Only about 30% of the new state (sufficient for an hour), I found a little bit - but a new battery there is already for less than 50. The fan makes a little noise, but still quieter than my old Acer notebook - Nevertheless, the perfectionists might annoy.
Otherwise: great! All major programs were already installed (OpenOffice, Acrobat Reader, etc.) so that you could get started right away. More than fast enough and certainly suitable for usual work and leisure applications for normal video and simple video editing. Is very stable.
Overall, you can see the professional quality of Lenovo notebooks. Who is looking for an inexpensive and rugged notebook for home and no PC gamer needs is the Lenovo T61 operated very well, because faster and more universal than the current netbooks, it is all!
Strong buy recommendation!
