The device is yet arrived, despite shortage of supply before Christmas, kudos to Amazon for it! Conveniently packaged in beige cardboard. Unpacked and:
1) The cheapest plastic for the housing that I've ever seen. Nothing of "brushed aluminum look" of its predecessor, but fine blend of magnetic and super glue for fingerprints which are difficult to finds out (ie 1x Used and already disaster)
2) Battery is a tiny, for a device with such attributes, it seems to me a lot, a lot, vieeel too small! It may be that I'm wrong, but I could not accurately measure (please read more).
3) Power Supply - relatively small and light, but the plug itself is not round, but square, is very similar to a USB connector - I see for the first time, and my - SUPER, re ade special treatment, standardization of genius of any marketing idiot because no universal power supply that I know has such a connection - the power supplies croak fastest today.
4) Display - After switching afloat the DOS command line, but ... As far as I can remember, DOS was at that time version 6 ... something in text mode in color; white from black. There is glaring white on gray milk - of black can not be talking about! Suspect here negotiated by approve Panel with 0 contrast and a viewing angle of the 90s, why guess, please read on.
5) keyboard - although with a 17 "notebook easy place for a pleasant keyboard with decent key size, here is no question of his This Mickey Mouse buttons (without stop) with huge distance between each key to explain how space-filling so little space. ., Return, Shift and Control (s) button can attach the greatest key to the Space key (Ta Daaaa) without wit - the Caps Lock key !!! The top row of function keys has fallen even less, these keys are real puny, and the best is now - the F1, F2 ... buttons you actually get ONLY in key combination with an "FN" keys click I repeat for the unbelievers -. function keys you get clicked only if one keeps the same time the orange FN key ... For this "default" any actions which are carried out at me, "old" on the Lenovo on the I'm writing with cursor keys with FN busy -> Brightness and Volume up / down, not here, here any icons are used like an "airplane" icon, a '3 monitors? "Icon, etc ... Say, if you are used to handle by pressing ALT + F4, etc. in Windows, bad luck, here you still need to press a key !! ! Un yes, the cursor keys have no special "FN" assignment here ...
I think this keyboard has a misanthrope designed and approved a masochistic marketing idiot. Moronic as it gets.
6) Installation -. I was slightly skeptical, but okay, I will have a Linux distro on it g'scheide throw (Windows 8 has partly recent Lenovo 17 "disfigured) and forget everything Well, have a go in the BIOS get in Sure. with FN key ;-) boot options are totally skinny to boot via USB? Nix recognized. So, I have tats by year. eider a DVD to burn elsewhere, so I can boot normally from this crate ...
Actually, I just wanted to see how the display looks at native resolution, and saw a live version of the latest Ubuntu from the DVD started (not about installed!) ... And what happened? NOTHING. Screen remained after the original distro selection black, DVD rattled a little, and the computer can not be switched on !!!
Depends not in the boat Seq. somewhere or in Bios, No, after the power-on button you can hear like a fan As for short, and 0.5sec after - a "click", and nothing more ... Jokus!
My conclusion - let's stay away from this "product", they will be out of trouble. I still can not believe that Lenovo has so permits MIST always feel really kidding me ....
Got almost a cuckoo egg for Christmas. Thanks to Amazon, it is sent back first thing Monday - frankly, so a notebook I would not even wish on my worst enemy, a clear image loss for Lenovo for me, so much faith in a few minutes simply gone!
Too bad about my time, thank LENOVO, fine mess!
