Does anyone have a Lenovo laptop/PC? Are they any good?

 

I like the look of the one mentioned in the other laptop thread but really want a 17"+ screen. I also don't want Windows 8 so after some searching, came across this one. It's not a brand I know but the reviews seem good. I don't need a high-spec gaming machine but want it to cope with multi-tasking.

 

Have found the same one but 4GB, 750GB at Argos £30 cheaper!

Can I ask why you don't want windows 8?

 

I'm after a desktop computer, and want a nice HP all in one, but the Lenovo ones keep popping up and are cheaper, so will be interested in any replies you get!

Lenovo is a good solid make. Should last a while.

Just cos I've read a few reviews saying it's not very intuitive, is quite different to previous Windows versions and is more suited to a touch screen. I'm sure it's absolutely fine but I'm on XP now and am happy to stay with something similar. Thought it might be a bit cheaper to get a laptop with an older version (I can't really justify the expense of a super-duper laptop much as I'd love one!)

Thank you, ANH I also don't want a touchscreen so that is useful information and worth looking into.

I'm glad it's a known brand (I'd never heard of it before ).

 

Don't suppose you could have a quick look at the one in my link? I'd value your opinion .

Hazel has a Lenovo laptop and although she doesn't have any sophisticated requirements she loves it and has been faultless so far.

My hubby is in the business. He let me have a lenovo... so go for it! Windows 8 is different but you dont have to have a touch screen.

The one in your link is not bad, but this one is slightly better.

As I understand it it was previously IBM. The DD has a Lenovo notebook...it's not for downloading films etc but for word/excel etc and internet browsing it's absolutely fine...very workmanlike .....

Well, I took your advice, Fred and ordered the Asus . Ordered Sunday, arrived Tuesday .

 

Had a few teething problems - I suspect things were a bit out of date as it's obviously been a while since it was built - but all the updates seem to have sorted it out. Very happy with it and enjoying discovering all the different things Windows 7 can do .

[Geoid]

Good to see the updates have sorted it out!

I like Windows 7, but hate office 2007, both hubby and I are largely self taught on spreadsheets and word, on office 2003, which seemed so much more straight forward I really struggle with office 2007.

It will take a bit of getting used to, but it is much easier to use than earlier versions

[Ain't Nobody Here]

I'm still using Word/Excel 2000 - quite happy with it!

Shouldn't have posted on this thread earlier, DS's net book has bitten the dust, it is 3 years old and he uses it for most of his school work and because of this it gets a hard life, the hinges have been broken for over year and it has been held together with duct tape, so it was only a matter of time . He is now looking at getting a laptop so I will look at the ones mentioned. He only really uses it for word documents, Skype, and net flicks.

[Ain't Nobody Here]

I'm really glad I got this new laptop before my old one gave up! Made transferring stuff and downloading the programs I need much easier.

 

Hope you manage to find a suitable one, there's just too much choice out there . Still very happy with my Asus .

 

My boys both have Dell laptops for Uni (with really small screens so they're extremely light and portable). They seem very happy with them.
