5Amazing machine, just a bit pricey
By Hickabilly
I apologize to Amazon that I didn't buy this on Amazon. I kept watching for an model with 8G of memory but Amazon only has the 4G one listed. So, I ended up ordering it directly from Lenovo to get a true Ultimate with 8G memory, 256G SSD, and the port replicator. I just can't see buying a computer in 2012 that has less than 8G of memory. I wanted more but I also wanted the exceptionally slim form factor.Immediately after it was unpacked I was impressed with the quality of the build. It is incredibly thin. The keyboard has to be the best Chicklet keyboard I have used. The layout of the keys is very well done, and they are crisp.I have been using it now for 3 weeks. This is by far the best machine I have ever owned or used. It blows the socks off a friends laptop (hint... it is silver).The only negatives that I have found (which exist on every other machine I looked at)* The screen is a little too bright for me so I lowered the brightness and it is still crisp. The high resolution results in everything being smaller than my previous ThinkPad but that is easily adjusted.* I wish both of the USB ports were 3.0* It needs a hot key to disable the trackpad. I occasionally let my thumb touch it while typing and the cursor will be moved.* The USB 3.0 port replicator is interesting, but I do miss just being able to drop a machine into a dock and everything including power is hooked up immediately. But its a luxury that Ultrabooks don't have.* It would be nice if Lenovo offered some upgrade to Windows 8 when it is released, but I really have no plans for going to Windows 8 in the near term so this isn't a big issue.Very happy with this purchase!

5Satisfaction!
By Michael H
I waited a long time for this product. Lenovo (once again) delayed its shipping date for a long time, and finally shipped without the Ethernet dongle and the 3G chip. Prior to receiving my laptop (i7, 4gb ram, 256gb ssd configuration) I heard many problems about the laptop on top of the delayed shipping, including a rattly and loose trackpad, terrible battery life, and excessively bulky charger.I haven't found any of these to be true, and I am pleasantly surprised! The charger is not that bulky, it appear normal, and when I compared it with an ultra-slim charger (not made by Lenovo, bought from an outside source) they weren't all that different in terms of weight and size.The battery life has been around 3-6 hours depending on my usage, and I always have a lot of tabs open, I'm always using the internet, and I usually have Pandora open in the background. I run programming tasks, use Solidworks, and do a lot of stuff with it, and even under heavy use it lasts for a good 3-4 hours. Lenovo also has some nifty ways to extend battery life.I don't use the trackpad much, since I love the trackpoint, but it seems totally fine, no looseness yet...However, there was a lot of preloaded bloatware, and I uninstalled most of it, including the Lenovo Power Manager because it wasn't very useful and it stopped working after a week.Despite its faults, I can't help but give it 5 stars for its amazing lightness, the screen quality (not sure why people didn't like it, maybe my eyes are just too bad to notice the pixels!), and its battery life and slimness. Not the most powerful machine, but it serves my purposes PERFECTLY since I travel a lot and it doesn't feel like anything in my bag. Then again, I'm converting from an IBM Thinkpad T43, which weighed about 5.3lb for the same screen size.

5It is just lovable!
By Natalja Lihacova
Everyone who travels a lot, and who needs their computer all the way along, and not just a computer but a fast and powerful one, and light-weight at the same time - this is exactly it! Highly recommend.
