Question 1

is this a touch screen?

Accepted Answer

No. It's not a touchscreen. The screen is actually pretty low res (1366x7680 for today's standards, but it does the job.

Question 2

Is there a camera on this laptop?

Accepted Answer

Yes there is a webcam with light and microphone built into the top center of the black rim around the screen

Question 3

My cousins has been saying that Lenovo is not a good brand but when I look for reviews on Lenovo laptops they all seem pretty decent 4 or more stars. I'm asking is this laptop good for semi-gaming? I already have a dedicated desktop for gaming but I'd be using this computer for more or less school work and some gaming which would probably be on low setting. I play mostly League of Legends and World of Warcraft. I also tend to take care of my electronic items as if they were my children so I try to make them last as long as they can.

Accepted Answer

This laptop is totally fine for semi-gaming. I have a custom desktop PC where I do most of my gaming, but I was headed out of town for 3 weeks and knew I'd be bored out of my mind. So I bought this laptop and it runs League of Legends and World of Warcraft (which are my main two games too) totally fine. Obviously it doesn't run as amazing as on a custom or high-end desktop PC, but it runs seriously smooth. I ran League and WoW on half-max graphics and never had any lag or framerate issues.

Word of advice though: In the settings you can choose to disable the mouse track pad when you have another mouse plugged in. I would suggest doing that. During my first game or two of League, my palm would touch the trackpad and my cursor would freak out. As soon as I found that option to disable the trackpad when I have a mouse plugged in though, everything was awesome.

So yeah, in short I'd give the laptop a 9/10 - 10/10 for the price I paid and being able to do what I wanted it to do. As far as a gaming laptop in general goes, it's probably a 6/10 - 7/10 because it would probably have trouble with super intense games. But with games like League and WoW it runs them no problem. And the price is hard to beat.

Question 4

Is the update from Win 8 to win 8.1 free for this PC?

Accepted Answer

Yes, you have to let it fully update windows 8 first them go to the windows store app and there is a large upgrade button for a free upgrade.

Question 5

Is this Full Windows 8 or RT?

Accepted Answer

You get the full Windows 8 and the free update to 8.1. RT can be found on the Surface line.

Question 6

does come with disks to reboot if crash?

Accepted Answer

No it doesn't.  You will need to create a set of recovery disks.  It has a built in feature they call "one button recovery"  haven't had to use it thankfully.  Its has been a good laptop, I have purchased 4 of these for people at my work.  No real complaints yet.

Thanks,

Chris

Question 7

how heavy is this notebook?

Accepted Answer

I can carry it around in one hand while also holding my two yr old daughter. So I don't find it to heavy at all. I had a 2008 Dell Inspiron and the Lenovo is exceptionally lighter.

Question 8

How does this computer handle extended use? Such as gaming for hours or working for hours? Does it overheat easily?

Accepted Answer

I've used it for more than 8 hours at a time and I've had no problems with overheating. Quite honestly, I was surprised that it didn't heat up very much at all.  I play simulation and rts games along with surfing the web and office applications among other things and I am very satisfied with the performance I've gotten from this notebook.

Question 9

Will the laptop be good with titanfall & the new batman game, batman arkham knight?

Accepted Answer

Hey johnny,

Im sorry to say but I dont think this laptop will be good for those 2 games. Those 2 games are very graphic intensive and although this laptop has a solid graphics card, its still an integrated card.

Question 10

Is this laptop a 64-bit or 32-bit?

Accepted Answer

The 64-bit or 32-bit is based on your Operating System,  I am quite sure these days however that most OS (Operating Systems) are 64-bit. (In short yes this is a 64-Bit Laptop)
