Good Laptop, minor gripes

Pros: Seems to be well made, good track record with Lenovo. Screen Size, Windows 7, full keyboard.
Cons: Some bloatware, 2GB of RAM (1.59GB available to OS).
Overall Review: Overall seems to be a good machine. 2GB of RAM is lame, adding another 2GB module and removing some of the Lenovo apps improved things quite a bit.
Decent Case

Pros: Price. Decent features such as front panel audio and usb. Easy to work with
Cons: Ran into some issues with 2 different builds, same Intel motherboard model. The system would not power on properly or would shutdown at the slightest touch. Blamed the case, moved 1st board to Antec Case and all was well. Tried case again with 2nd board. Seemed much better and while swapping front panel pins for "Power On, HD, reset etc" boot and power off issue returned. Really wasted some time with this and it doesn't make you feel confident in delivering the machine to a customer. If the front panel pins are incorrect, how about just not work vs. shorting the whole darn system? Case seems ok for the most part, wish the FoxxConn stuff was still available. Unlikely I will buy entry level again, just not worth the savings.
Overall Review: Some power on issues with builds.
