I had one of my kids use this laptop daily for 3 weeks and compared against a different brand which was on sale for around the price I paid for this one. The laptops were very similar, I like that this Lenovo has a manual camera privacy switch, but I could not get over the contrast. It has a high contrast and sometimes at certain angles its hard to see what's on screen. No matter how much we played with the contrast settings we could not get it to a good level. It's still usable but if you compare to another laptop close by it's hard to settle on the screen contrast.
