Pros: thin, light, surprisingly fast (once i reformatted 7), sexy, numpad, great battery life
Cons: keyboard takes a little getting used to, comes loaded with bloatware. reformatting is a must
Other Thoughts: i came from a c2d laptop before this, and i honestly cant tell a difference in performance. highly recommend this laptop to anyone

Pros: This is a fairly nice laptop. About 5-6 hours of battery life during normal usage. Decent speed, good enough for everything you'd use it for. You're basically making a tradeoff for it being so light and thin.
Cons: - Of course, it's not a performance beast.

- Whoever designed the keyboard layout should be fired. The FN key is where Ctrl should be, the arrow keys are far too small and difficult to find by touch due to the ridiculous crunched in numpad.

- Screen resolution is pretty weak for a 15" screen. I would have preferred it to be 1440x900 like a macbook pro, but I guess lenovo likes to cut costs and givie you 1366x768.

- For Linux users: The wireless chipset is the Broadcom bcm4312. It's the low power model, and open source b43 linux drivers for this particular chipset are very experimental and don't work very well (compared to other broadcom chips). You can use proprietary drivers, but don't expect to be able to use aircrack-ng or other advanced wireless software.
Other Thoughts: The previous review about specifications being incorrect was false. I recently ordered this, and indeed it is only the model with the SU4100 and 3GB RAM. All the specs here are correct, except for the fact that the wireless chipset is broadcom (not intel) and is only 802.11b/g (not n).

This user purchased this item from Newegg
Pros: This 3759-5BU is actually a C2D SU7300 (1.3/3M/VT-x), not a PDC SU4100. Also, it has 4GB RAM, and 320GB hard drive. Sufficiently quick, though not fast at all. Light, and big, size compares well with a Macbook Pro 15. Perfect size and weight for a large screen.
Cons: A bit slow, but fine for browsing, movie watching, and office work. Loaded with bloatware, but all of it can be uninstalled.
