Review:

I bought this laptop because I felt that the company that purchased IBM’s PC division must be a good one and their product offering should also be good. This view was reinforced by the use of the laptop.

Intel Core Duo processor T2300, with 4GB of expandable RAM, conveniently placed ports, 15.4" screen which does not look like a negative from sides, integreted webcam and biometric reader, cool looks and what not ! But at points I felt to throw away this laptop because of very poor battery performance, after six months I encountered the problems with the battery which was dead (not even charging), inbuilt camera stopped working, fingerprint reader started behaving like anything and LAN port went defective. So I approached the Service Centre, and I must say, the service is excellent, they replaced it without asking a single question (warranty period of 1 year). But the battery faulted again after 3 months of replacement, I again had to visit the Service Centre. I managed to change the battery. The Service Centre told me that the previous batteries were manufactured by Sony and were defective. This time they gave me a Sanyo battery and I must say it is giving me a life of 2 hrs on full multimedia applications. Thats great. Awesome !! 

The best feature is the keyboard which is very good and convenient to use. Another good thing is the laptop is very easy to use. However one thing this laptop can't offer is good sound quality. The sound is too low that you have to strain your ears to listen to it. However u can always use earphones. 

Thumbs up to Lenovo for giving this good laptop. Very satisfied by its performance. I am currently running Windows Vista Ultimate on this machine and it is giving great performance.
