Most bang for the buck!

Pros: There are a few key features that make this laptop the best buy for the money. Core i5 Win 7 Pro 4 GB RAM with 1 open slot (verified) 7200 RPM hard drive (verified) Gigabit network port USB 3.0 (not every new laptop has these) Intel Centino chipset This laptop is blazing fast. All the software I had been running on my Vista laptop loaded on without a hitch. Finger reader works awesome! It even stores the password to web sites, and I can log in by swiping my finger.
Cons: It is loaded with bloatware (this is typical of all brands) that needs to be uninstalled. Some programs (like the finger reader suite) you had to install from the software (swtools) folder on the hard drive.
Overall Review: There is a multitude of Lonovo software on here as well. I uninstalled most of it, as it is not necessary for what I do. Be prepared to spend several hours uninstalling, installing programs, updates, etc.
Inadequate

Pros: Works for now.
Cons: Only has one internal usb connector. The P4 connector is hard to get to after installing motherboard and processor in case. There are no system fan connectors on the motherboard.
Decent graphics card for the price.

Pros: Affordable Compatible.
Cons: None for my usage
Overall Review: This graphics card will enable you to play most games, but this is not considered a great gaming graphics card (that changes by the month anyway). It will however enable you to use Windows 11 to its fullest, as well as the vast majority of graphics programs. It installed without a problem in my new Core i5 build and has been rock solid for what I use it for, so it will be a great solution for 90% of the users out there.
Great air flow

Pros: Price. Great air flow.
Cons: None yet
Overall Review: I give it a 5 egg rating. But, the true determination of how good the fan is, is how long it lasts. I do expect at least 4 years since I run my computer 24/7.
Living up to the Hype

Pros: Speeds computer up...noticeably. Faster file loading, and saving. Price was right!
Cons: None so far
Overall Review: If you own a laptop with a SATA connector, SSD's are the only way to go!!
I am impressed

Pros: Price. USB 3. Media drive. Nice look.
Cons: Plastic front is a little flimsy.
Overall Review: I have to give the manufacturers credit for spending a few extra cents on their packaging. The case box was sturdy, and even has a carrying handle. Less chance of the case getting dinged during shipping like so many I have received before. This is definitely a better quality, low-end case. A good buy for the money.
