What's great about it: Completely reliable, small, and fits my hand without fatique
What's not so great: Nothing
I didn't expect this mouse to be the best I've used in many years. The small size fits my hand perfectly, and other users with smaller hands will probably also like the shape.
Logitech's unifying wireless port really works...I never needed to download anything, or perform any setup to get the mouse to work. It started working instantly, even on the BIOS screen.
So far, it does not seem to devour batteries, either.
Highly recommended.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Very good value--not Thinkpad quality, though

What's great about it: fast, good value, great display
What's not so great: Design flaw in micro-hdmi connector, uneven keyboard
This is a very good mini-notebook for the price. I recommended it for a family member and she has been very pleased with it. It is very light, fast, and the display is beautiful. There have been no stability problems. Since it is a tiny i7, expect it to generate a fair bit of heat if you turn off the power-throttling and keep it busy. The hot air blows quietly through rear-mounted vents, and overheating doesn't seem to be a problem--just make sure not to block the vents.
The main problem is a design flaw in the Micro-HDMI port. The port itself is fine, but the socket is too deep for most Micro-HDMI cable plugs to fit securely. I solved this problem by getting a cheap micro-HDMI cable with plastic plugs, and then using an X-acto knife to carve away enough of the plug to let it fully insert into the laptop.
Less critically, the keyboard is pretty good, but certain keys, like the spacebar, will feel a bit stuck and require more pressure than expected to press. It is not a Thinkpad keyboard, but it also costs about half of what the TP ultraportable does. The trackpad is quite good, though.
Finding the support section and driver updates on the Lenovo website is difficult.
With those exceptions, it is a very good ultraportable for the price.
This product is... easy to set up, lightning fast

Is this laptop excellent for video games?

I'm wondering if this laptop has excellent performance for modern video games.
No, definitely not. It relies on built-in Intel graphics, which is fast but not up to modern games. It also isn't designed for the heavy heat output gaming produces. Look into full size gaming laptops with Nvidia or Radeon GPU's, and big fans.

I need to connect to an ethernet cable, shat converter should I use?

Do all rj45 to USB converter's work with this computer?
I haven't tried one, but I expect they would. I suggest looking into "USB 3.0 docking stations" which combine a USB 3.0 hub with ethernet ports and external monitor connections. Since you only have one USB port, this would probably be your best option.

Is there a docking station available?

No dedicated docking station is available, but docking stations seem to be getting replaced with USB 3.0 "docks" that perform many of the same functions. Look into "USB 3.0 docking stations" for possible options.
