It performs great, super fast and reliable. The screen doesn't get as bright as other computers but it works well enough. Just as the other reviews say, there was a thin black bar that developed on the screen. I recommend getting the square trade plan so that you can send it back to get fixed when the black bar comes. WARNING: Square trade takes a long time to fix the computer. Also my computer came back damaged after they worked on it. The just of it is I recommend this computer if you buy it directly from another retailer with better coverage or straight from lenovo in the first place.
