This is a Lenovo IdeaPad G780 (which is why, as previously mentioned, it's dealt separately from ThinkPads).I bought an upgraded version of this for my wife for Christmas (our version has a i5 processor and a dedicated NVidia graphics card). However, the laptop itself is the same model.
I work in an IT department and we use Lenovo products. At work I have enjoyed most of their lineup (had some issues with the old X1 laptops and X220 tablets/laptops, but their traditional laptop models were excellent), and the price of this laptop is very competitive, so I decided to give this laptop a try.
So far it has been excellent. I've enjoyed getting used to Windows 8 (yes, it does take some getting used to, but it's essentially a "spiffy" version of 7 with a different Start Menu), and the laptop has performed very well. The build quality is excellent, it looks aesthetically-pleasing, and the screen size is wonderful (I'm a fan of 17" laptops now!).
I had to contact Lenovo about an Windows 8-related issue, and they were very professional and helpful and did a great job of helping me resolve the issue.
I would recommend this laptop to anyone needing a high-quality, low-price laptop.
Pros:
Price!
Build Quality
Aesthetics
Screen size
Lenovo support
Cons:
Having to get used to a new Operating System
Lenovo sent me 2 defective computers before finally getting it right on the third try. I mean, if it were only one lemon... hey, mistakes happen! But two suggests that the company manufactures total junk. This seems to be a common experience with Lenovo computers. I must recommend strongly against buying one.
