This is a nice laptop, well, it was for the first few months. There have been so many problems with it within the first year, that here it is just a year later, and I've had to replace the screen (due to a malfunction that made it hard to use), I've had to deal with the entire system randomly shutting off without warning, and now, the battery doesn't work at all, and I have to keep it plugged in 24/7. This is a real pain, as it's the primary computer I use for my landscape design business. I'm old enough to remember the days in which quality computers were made, that could last for years. Seems those days are gone, and now supposedly reputable companies can get a laptop like this one out there, and after a year it has become completely unusable. And, lenovo's customer service around warranty issues are completely non-existent. What a pain. I just paid around $400 to get a new screen installed (by a non-warranty computer shop, as I could not get any information from lenovo about how to actually fulfill on it's 1-year warranty), and within a couple weeks of getting it back, the battery will not charge beyond 9 percent. What a pain.
