There is a lot to like with this laptop and it seems to do most things very well. The battery life is ok and lasts for a few hours in normal use, the screen is great and keyboard is backlight and comfortable to use. I have a few gripes; firstly the laptop seems to drop the wifi signal on a regular basis and this becomes really annoying. I have checked other hardware at the same location and they have zero issues, so it must be a software issue. My second gripe is Lenovo's support which is poor....they provide premium rate numbers so I decided to email and they would just send through instructions to reinstall certain drivers! I'm no IT wiz kid so this didn't really help and they said they couldn't provide remote access. Still have the problem and I continue to grumble
