I am a casual user, not a business person and not a gamer.  I like the screen size and brightness, and while I rarely use the touch screen, it does work efficiently.  The speed of operation is excellent and the keyboard has perfect resistance.  All that said, there are some problems that make using this laptop less than comfortable:  It often runs too hot to keep on my lap, the fan is too loud, and on start-up, it emits a high pitched sound (not loud, just high pitched) that is so annoying, I've taken to leaving the room for the first five minutes after turning it on. Probably won't buy another Lenovo, regardless of price.
