Pros: Keyboard/peripherals, Display resolution<BR>Cons: Storage, Wireless card, Weight, Battery, Included Software I purchased this laptop almost a year ago; I did not have major problems with it but sometimes it does not shut down properly and I have to press the power button and hold it for a few seconds. It comes with Windows Vista Business and while having Vista installed it ran very slowly; it also had a lot of useless programs installed on it and the memory was full of Lenovo processes that slows it down considerably (although the installed memory is 3GB). Even after reverting to Windows XP it is still very slow. In addition to the issues above, the wireless card fails to connect to Internet even when there is full signal. This is the most annoying problem.

Somewhat below average
