Was in the market looking for a budget laptop with top notch features and price was a factor also.Bought laptop for $318, shipped to my door in 3 days. Very happy with Lenovo and its build quality. nothing to high end in this model but for today's standards more then enough bang for $300. my old Acer dual core had 320gb hd and 4 gb of ram and no usb 3.0. this lenovo came with all these's features(500gb hd,,6gb ram, usb3 also very pleased with the quad core performance very fast at 2.4ghz..  the display and HDMI out are perfect for movies on HDTV's or 15in monitor . The 6gbs of memory came in handy as this laptop came with wins 8 with free upgrade to 10 offer. also came with a ton of bloatware and demo software, i suggest you use ccleaner to remove/uninstall a few programs. With a lil knowledge and tweaking this laptop can run snappy and with out problems. DVD burner is included which is a plus for making DVDs and mp3 cd's. Wifi runs smooth enough bt can sometimes lag, ethernet port is faster for downloading bigger files. Very happy to have moved from a Acer to Lenovo same price and twice the power as my late acer dual core, Gaming wise this laptop isn't a power house but for basic computing and low end gaming its fine. really a good all round machine for a student or netflix user even works well for multi tasking geeks as 6gb of ram come in handy.would highly recommend lenovo as they have set a new standard on budget machines
