Question 1

Do you have to purchase Microsoft office separate, or does it come pre loaded on?

Accepted Answer

I cancelled this purchase once I realized this laptop doesn't fold back completely... it only folds back 300degrees... into a "stand" formation... and not completely into tablet formation.

but in response to your Question, I'd tell you that in my experience NO computers "come with" microsoft office these days, it's a separate product

Question 2

Does this laptop come with a dvd drive? I saw another review that said that it did not. Thanks!

Accepted Answer

There is no supplemental or optical DVD drive. Many laptops do not offer this in recent times, to keep it lighter and less prone to failure. A good option is to add an external drive ...or look for another model.

Question 3

Is there a Thunderbolt port?

Accepted Answer

NO! USB3 &2,  I tried a Logitech unifying receiver for a Logitech trackball.  Will not work on the Lenovo.

Being a MAC user, I would like a Thunderbolt port.  I wanted to add a Blue-Ray writer to the Lenovo, seems like nothing but trouble to add a DVD to WIN 8.1

Good Luck!

Question 4

How many USB ports does it have?
What do you do for a DVD/CD reader?

Accepted Answer

It has 3 USB ports. There is no DVD drive so you have to buy an external disk drive. I personally have not found this to be a problem. Overall it is a great laptop.

Question 5

Might be a silly question but...This does have wireless internet, right?

Accepted Answer

YES, and it will disconnect if ethernet cable plugged in, Not like WIN 7 with PPPoE error651!!!

Question 6

I need windows 7pro?

Accepted Answer

It comes pre-installed with Windows 8 - if you dislike W8, I'd pay the extra for 7pro. Just a choice to make, not a requirement.

Question 7

Does this have a backlit keyboard?

Accepted Answer

no

Question 8

Is this product refurbished?

Accepted Answer

The one I recently purchased was new in the box, however,  If the one you are looking at now is refurbished it should say so in the title of listing.

Question 9

Does it have a backlit key board and does it have a port to download your photos from a camera card?

Accepted Answer

Question 10

Does this have an HDMI port?  What kind of ports does it have?

Accepted Answer

In answer to your question, yes, I believe it does but have not had a need to use it at this time.  If you want questions answered knowledgeably,  then you really should ask an expert at Newegg. I would recommend Mike L. Ortiz, who is quite well informed and very helpful.
