I have had this laptop for about two months now and I love it. It may not be the most portable, but it is has so many features, including the full-sized keyboard and second HD among others that make up for the larger size. I was a little disappointed by the performance of the sound, but it is a laptop after all. The Halo lighting is also a bit of a non-feature and some of the lenovo software is not worth the time but overall I have been very pleased. I do plan to pick up the extra 2 gigs of RAM at some point in the near future, but just to make the system, which is already fairly quick, even faster.

I have had this laptop for one month I am a big fan of IBM which lenovo has taken over, again they have put out the best performing laptop on the market. i went from the IBM think pad to this and all i can say is WOW. the full size keyboard is great along with so many extras, i did add thhe extra hard drive for a total of 500 gigs and also went with the 3 gigs of ram. i will admit i was afraid of the change to vista, but it was not bad at all, in fact i like it very much. the only thing i changed was my anti virus to ca which works great with this laptop. the one other thing i have to say is, my husband said he lost his wife to a laptop oh i am 73 years young. so if any of you are thinking, stop thinking and buy this laptop, i have not found one negative thing about it, it deserves more than 5 stars.

First impressions about theY710… well it’s great! So far I’ve been an HP fan and religiously stick with their machines but after 2 defective DV-series laptops we’re done with HP until they get their act together. My Y710 replaces a 2-week old DV9730us with 4GB RAM upgrade. The performance on the Lenovo has been spectacular and the features are far beyond my expectations. Noteworthy, there was an absolute minimum of that extra & unwanted software preinstalled by the manufacturer. I spent maybe 10 minutes uninstalling the bundled virus control in favor of ESET products; however that was all I cared to remove. For a retail machine, this is a huge leap in my opinion and more manufacturers should go this route. Additionally, the machine has a wonderful keyboard feel and even a full size shift key on the right side unlike my HPs. Also, the finish and overall quality have me coming back for more.
