Not bad, but totally built

The function 300 ° (do sellers misrepresent 360 °) Folding is not bad, you should consider alledings that the device is allowed to rest on a flat surface at 300 °, on your lap, the - albeit inactive - key being evil loaded , That could sap the life. Great colors and a super Lautspreicher (speakers might be different with "lower" models), but unfortunately no backlight the keys. So far everything is really good to super. At this point it would be 5 star. But then...

It may be that many now say what the want with Blink-Blink? However, the lamps are an important signal / one of the most important information. In particular, the display of the HDD access is missing a lot. Win (shows the internal processing as rotating Mouse circle, but that only shows activity). Also I would like to visually know how full the battery - the (self-imposed) display x-minutes before the end is weak, very weak. The marketing Fritzen say the technology Heinies again: people love lights in all colors and as much as possible. Exactly, engineers are just furztrockene developers. More emotions please!

Speaking of battery: and now you will accumulate. Battery, has one? You can twist and turn as you want, you do not see him. The battery is actually built into the device. The battery, just the part that always 2 years to be (eventually) be exchange. Even more: So far - after 2 weeks of work - is the persistence of a battery not manage to 3 hours.

Anyone who wants to keep the battery fresh, pulls him in mains operation from easy. Practically, it's like this: You work 4-5 hours on battery power at, draws from the battery and placed in the bag and then the works until the next journey continues to the grid. Here we must after 4-5 hours (maybe 2 -3, it appears a warning when battery level more than 70% with respect to the shortened life in battery-charge time) to remember that you pull the net and then after 2 hours again Attach. OK, that's neat muscles in much jogging .... Seriously, that can not yet be Lenovo's serious! Battery permanently installed.

So I've always had a 2nd battery for my laptop every least. Battery empty, new clean and on it goes.

And then again, "installed" the topic: I would like to lean 4GB Memory to 16GB (do sellers are claiming only 8 GB are supported, but that is totally wrong) upgrade. No problem! Flap and flap ... what? Na but as we look puzzled! User manual? Hmm, it says nothing about the memory upgrade .... request from Lenovo: send me the English manual. German is in this country the official and mother tongue, but that interested the computer manufacturer with a Sch ... dirt. Euros forth and learn English, you client you.

But who understands the English language, at least in the approach, which is then excited: Yes, hurray! The exchange statement is here! Phillips screwdriver (is there even that) here and there you go. Almost turned a dozen screws, and already is the free space in front of us. Hopefully we come nowhere against (URGENT - Connect with antistatic wrist strap Otherwise you become a laptop killer!).

In the end we are happy that we do not want to swap drive, because then we would have to solve but a screw in the motherboard, turn the unit, remove the keyboard, turn around, drive out and a new pure, turn, keyboard back inside (at my U350 was the keypad down, but was then bent and useless - good eh defective), turn the keyboard back, screw 1 into it, cover it, and again five minutes screw (Attention plastic Who turns too tight has a loose subsoil)..

In addition, one may say that the opening of the device is described as the end customer allowed the german manual, if he wants to replace the drive. This is lt. English manual completely different. Since the end user can replace what he thinks is right.

As you can see ... that's nothin 'for gasoline (average consumer)

Conclusion: here the user is the screwdriver. Only those who the device exclusively for work in the office or car (charging cable arrangements) needed is well served ... until the battery gives up the ghost and the acid releases. Then they had him hoffenlich not on your lap. One star more than the minimum rating (1 = unusable) here means limited use: for the corresponding clientele (screwdriver, very mobile) would be up to 4 points plausible.
