Lenovo IdeaPad Z580 215129U 15.6-Inch Laptop (Grey Metal)

Just got this laptop and I have to say I love it so far.

The only issue I do have with it, as many others have said while I was looking at reviews before buying this product, is that the trackpad does have its issues.

At times the pad is a bit too sensitive, while at others its a bit unresponsive (usually only when I'm trying to zoom in and out which isn't a big deal). The buttons on the bottom aren't very large so, if you're like me and you don't push the button on the edge or the lower corners of it, you may accidentally touch and move your mouse.

I haven't found any other issues with it and I must say I do love the speakers. Though it isn't a very high range of volume, the highest volume is at a great level and the sound quality is very good (though still not as high as the Kindle Fire HD in my opinion).

I love the length of the charger, though the only thing I'd say I don't like about the laptop (and I think this is just a new thing with the newer laptops) is that I wish it came with a backup CD, in case something happened.

Perhaps I'm old school, but it is a nice thing to have if your computer does have a problem.

I also feel it necessary to say that this is a great product for its price and I specifically chose Windows 7 because I've demoed on Windows 8 before and I can't say its my cup of tea. So it was a bonus for me to just be able to open the laptop and be able to use it right off the bat with little to no setup.

I was looking for a replacement lap top when mine crashed and three brands were recommended. Lenovo was one of them. I was searching for windows 7 and found this machine. I added 4 G of memory and so far I really like this computer. There has been one problem on which I had to spend money to fix. After about 5 or 6 days of owning the computer and it working like a champ, I suddenly started to have boot up problems where my screen would go black and never fully open. I could not figure out what was wrong, so took it to some local technical guys. They did some research and found that a "feature" of the Lenovo is something called "quick boot" or something like that. It actually interfers with the opening of windows and has to be disabled in order for the computer to properly boot up. It cost me a couple of hours of technical time, and a full day to drive back and forth, and wait for the machine to get fixed. I wish that this was something I knew about in advance. Other than the glare on the monitor, I would recommend this machine.

Nice Computer for small business Accounting. I works just fine for $700. No frills, but I didn't need any.

I want to use it for Quickbooks, because QB for Apple is a joke. Also need a windows machine for custom remote controls and some security/ Home Automation panels.

latest generation i7, fast and zippy, and leads to longer battery power per charge over previous generations.

track pad could improve a little, but mostly I carry around a wireless mouse anyways so that is not an issue.

normal size mainstream laptop 15.6"

great for college use with light gaming.

-battery is decent.

-keyboard with island keypad is a plus.

-lenovo warranty process is also very easy.

-has usb 3.0 and hdmi

you might want to upgrade to more ram though as 4gb isn't very much, and possibly an SSD.

other then that, for the price I paid, I think it was an excellent deal.
