The guy in this review seems to be reasonably happy with the laptop, but pretty furious at Lenovo’s customer care. This pretty much describes how most people feel towards Lenovo: good computers, poor service.
I have looked at this laptop myself, but I have been deterred by two things I know about Lenovo products:
a.) The quality is simply not there on a consistent basis in terms of build quality and the parts used (i.e. hard drives, etc);
b.) Lenovo is constantly changing the game with consumers, delaying shipments for weeks for no apparent reason, running out of the most common parts (read, more delay), or simply dropping some configuration options altogether (i.e. the high resolution screen on the T400) for no apparent reason.
Now, having said this, they still make good laptops, compared to poor quality mass produced “consumer” laptops offered by HP and Toshiba. However, I think that it is really a “buy at your own risk” proposition when purchasing from Lenovo (as the reviewer on Amazon noted). Personally, the only two PC manufacturers I would be comfortable buying from would be Dell or Asus.
Good luck on finding your new laptop!
