First off, this laptop is HUGE! It's a lot larger than I was expecting, so if you're looking to use this for travel I'd opt for a smaller laptop... this fit into my suitcase barely but left no room for anything else once combined with the charger.I use a Lenovo Yoga Pro 2 for everyday use, I purchased this for my dad as a spare computer. Going from the Lenovo Yoga to this is night and day, but they are in completely different price brackets. For the money, the laptop is great... has a good processor, memory and HDD compared to others in it's price range. However, if you're used to a faster i5 or i7 computer and switch to this... it feels incredibly slow. Things are unresponsive, takes long to power on/shut down and windows sometimes freezes. But like I said... great entry level laptop if you're using it for basic tasks such as Microsoft Office and the internet.It comes preinstalled with a lot of bloatware from Lenovo... Lenovo is pretty notorious nowadays for loading up their computers with junk (and even had problems loading up malware before). I would recommend to do a full reinstall of the OS from scratch to remove all the junk, or, clean up through your control panel. There will probably be around 10 things running that you don't really need or want when you first get this laptop.
