PROS:--The laptop functioned fine WHEN plugged in.--Mid range components generally that worked as expected.--Snappy CPU that responded as expected.--Decent screen with overall good build.CONS:--(Deal-breaking) It NEVER could hold a charge. Whenever the power cord got unplugged from the laptop, it lost power. That's expected with PC, but never with a laptop. Multiple calls to Amazon, Lenovo, Best Buy resulted in no change.--(Nit picky) The touchpad is so sensitive that when you left / right click near the bottom, the cursor would often move while clicking. There aren't dedicated buttons, but the whole pad, even the button components, allow for movement of the cursor. Feature vs bug? You decide.
