  Good laptop with Very poor screen quality.

    How do you know what is a poor screen quality, if it's this 1920x1080, it's not that bad?

      45% NTSC is pretty bad, but I suppose that would only matter if you were doing anything that requires colour accuracy. The real terrible spec is that it is only 250 nits. Not really bright enough to use outside and it will look like shit in any brightly lit environment.

        Really? So nits units is the measurement. What's the least for outside use?

          @PeeDee: In my opinion around 400-500 is decent enough for outdoor use (not in direct sunlight, though). The higher you go the better. My ThinkPad has a 350 nit screen I believe and outside even in the shade it is too dim. Inside it's fine, but doesn't look great in a brightly lit room.

            @jamesorion: Where did you find the nits screen? I can't find it.

            @jamesorion: I did some digging, haha. Your 350 nits are enough anyway. That's mid-range. I am not sure why you use your laptop outside, whether you have the perfect outside environment, but laptops are mostly used indoors. Being mid-range, I think in a brightly lit room would be okay? Unless if your lit is light hospital-grade lit?

  Stay away from these 250nit 45% NTSC screens. They are absolutely dog shit.

  Bought this Sunday night, it's already shipped and should be delivered tomorrow.
  Hopefully the screen is good enough for a high school student

      Opened it today, the screen is reasonable, no problems indoor.
      Pretty happy with the price.

  Use to love Lenovo but gotta neg due to bad experience with them now sadly.

  The warranty claim process was absolute BS. Laptop was DoA (wifi chip not working), got stuffed around for months to even get a return label. Once returned heard nothing for 3-4 weeks and eventually just asked for a refund. Refund took 3-4 more weeks of back and fourth.

  The laptop itself is great though, but in all honesty I would rather pay a little extra if I can get a decent warranty experience if ever needed.

  Lenovo use to be one of the best for warranty in my opinion - even have heard of laptops replaced under warranty when the user asks for a quote for liquid damage… Now it's one of the worse.

  Also had a dock which they wouldn't replace when it randomly stopped charging my other laptop (after working fine for 6+ months). A ThinkPad dock for a ThinkPad laptop.

  The laptop officially isn't "supported" as mac address passthrough doesn't work, everything else does. They wouldn't even consider replacing it until I found a "compatible" device that supported Mac address passthrough to show the charging isn't working there either….
