Consumer review (newegg.com)

Great but with a few annoying flaws

 

Despite the flaws I do really like the laptop. I'm not sure if I would universally recommend purchasing it over other options, as there are lots of good laptops out there without the flaws, however if the price is right then this laptop will do the...

- Screen looks great - Runs games and software well. Just for reference, I play Guild Wars 2, Diablo 3, Civ 5, etc, and it runs them very well. I haven't tried any games that really push the graphical limits, but for almost all modern games this laptop...

- The keyboard can be annoying. Some commonly used keys are weirdly small, the whole thing feels a bit cramped, and when typing fast the keyboard sometimes can't keep up. Once you get used to it it is OK, but not ideal. - The USB ports sometimes take a...

Flawless

 

I have 30 years in the computer industry.

I don't have the issues with the keyboard that have been reported, but I have a heavy touch when I type. This unit has decent battery life, and has handled my video games without lag. (Civ5, Battlefield Hardline,). Thin and light hardware, but feels...

None that I detected

Consumer review (newegg.com)

Don't buy for the numbers pad

 

This is one of the few notebooks available with the non-glare screen and a numbers pad - but if you need a numbers pad, this is not a good solution. Be prepared for a serious 'getting used to" stage.

Screen is great anti-glare for those of us who use notebooks for work.

I, and most others I know, buy these 17" notebooks for the keypad. Don't. The numbers pad feels small and awkward. The whole keyboard does, actually, but the rest you can get used to. The biggest problem with the numbers pad is its odd "0" key...

Good card, Great value, better than Xfired 270Xs.

 

Everything except the keyboard layout was awesome. If that doesn't bother you, this is a good machine

As a teacher, I bought this for doing a lot of word processing and lesson planning, and I just couldn't understand why so much space for the keyboard was wasted. The keys are all squished together into the center of the laptop, and there is no way to...

Lenovo Z70-80(80FG0038US)

 

All in All it is an Excellent Laptop and I have not had a single problem with it, no Blue Screen, No keyboard problems and I never used the Touchpad as I plug my own mouse in. Highly recommend it!!!!

Excellent LED Screen 1080P Full HD, Anti-glare. Core i7, GeForce 840GT, Good Keyboard, Sound is good for a laptop, 8GB SSD/1TB HD Combo-I feel the 8GB SSD Cache kind of makes up for the 5400rpm 1TB HD. Plays all the games I threw at it: Evil within,...

Wish it came with a Blu-Ray Drive instead of a regular DVD Burner. A little Bloatware to remove but I guess that is expected these days
