The best thing about this laptop is its battery life. Regardless of what the spec says (as battery life is often different from that written on a spec, as most people use more than the minimum amount of battery whilst running their laptop), I find that the battery in my laptop lasts a good three and a half hours from being 100% charged. For a laptop, I find this fantastic. I paid just under £500 when I bought it in October 2006 from dabs.com.
The main thing that I found a disadvantage when I originally bought the laptop is the lack of a touchpad cursor- this struck me as odd and I hadn't realised this was the case when I ordered the laptop. However, there is an easy-to-use nipple in the middle of the keyboard, and you can otherwise buy a USB mouse to connect to the laptop, which are freely available. So far, I have found harddrive space no problem at all- I store music and work and photos on it, but very few and short videos, and haven't installed many games. The 512Mb RAM is possibly a little low- Lenovo automatically install software that regularly reminds you to back up your hard drive and defragment, etc- which is good, as it means you are more likely to do so, which is good for your machine, however bad as it obviously slows down the machine further. At startup, therefore, the machine is rather slow, however speeds up once everything has registered and the computer has sorted itself out.
Another useful thing with this laptop is a little light that you can switch on so that you can see your keyboard in the dark, if that is something you would need. As with all laptops, this one has it's own allocation of function keys on the keyboard, however, again, these are quite easy to use and you get used to them after a while.
In general, I find this laptop easy to use and with a good battery life, which I find the biggest advantage of it overall.
