Good laptop...nice buy

I originally purchase an open box item of this same laptop. Unfortunately, the battery life didn't seem to function as promised (less than 4 hours on a full charge and rapidly decreasing, less than 3 hours after only 20 minutes of we browsing, etc..) so I exchanged it for a new unopened item. My daughter and I love the screen clarity...the 4K is gorgeous. It also spins up quickly. I could change this review to a 5-star if someone could advise us on how they are getting 8-10 hours of battery life on the model with the 4K screen. Some of the reviewers claim to be getting that...I would love to know how. We just don't seem to be getting close to that at all and we do use the battery saver mode and the screen brightness is at 50% or less at any given time. We are not running any hard-drive intensive programs or large scale games or movies and still cannot get near the promised battery life of 9-10 hours. I agree with others that reviewed and found the shift key placement awkward/troublesome. Following the advice of the Lenovo expert regarding KeyTweak, I did swap the key functions and problem solved. As the key tops just snap in place, I even carefully removed the two key tops and snapped them into place so the keyboard reads the way I remapped the keys with the right shift key second from the edge of the laptop and the Up arrow key on the outside edge. The fact that Lenovo has a suitable answer for this odd key placement begs the question of why they would set the keys up that way in the first place...? Anyhow, it is easily fixable so if you have read other reviews and that is the only caveat in your mind, buy this laptop and follow the advice for using KeyTweak. It's a no brainer. As for the rest of the laptop, it is gorgeous and the construction and feel are solid. The touchscreen works well. The fingerprint scanner works well and significantly speeds up the login process. There is almost no bloat ware loaded on this machine which is a definite plus!!! Good move Lenovo. For the price, the solid look and feel, the gorgeous screen and the quick processing I would definitely recommend this beauty...with the KeyTweak!
I would recommend this to a friend!

What's great about it: Compact, easily portable, reasonably quick, solid performance
What's not so great: Over priced, inability to expand storage w/any storage card, iOs is a bit quirky/rigid..not as intuitive as android
Love the size...fits in your hand well, and can hold it with one hand for a reasonable period of time. This tablet is the right size. As with any tablet, whether or not this is for you is based on what your uses for it are. If you are looking for it to replace a laptop, I'd say, not so much. If you are looking for portable moderate web-surfing, light duty e-mail, e-reader, light entertainment device then it's a really solid choice. My Samsung Galaxy SIII phone has far more options when it comes to sending a really detailed e-mail than this iPad. As with all of the Apple products, iOs is a bit rigid and quirky compared to Android or Windows which are both a bit more intuitive. Seriously consider how much storage you think you need and then add more as 16G doesn't go far with this, Have an Android 10" tablet with 16G and the apps must take up less storage as we have had that for almost two years and aren't running into a storage issue, but we are already there with the iPad and we've had it for less than a month. But remember, that with iPad that additional storage comes at a hefty price. With all the great Droid options with expandable storage on the market, this makes the iPad really expensive no matter which one you choose, but makes the higher memory capacity iPads pretty ridiculous, I would recommend this to a friend, but as you can see above, with certain caveats.
This product is... Good sound quality, easy to set up, Variety of apps available, A nice compact size, Comfortable to hold
About me... Parent with kids, traveler, Comfortable with technology
I would recommend this to a friend!

Some are claiming to get 8-10 hrs of battery on laptop with the 4K UHD. We are using battery saver, setting display@30-50% brightness & can't get even 6-7. Please advise what/how to improve this. Have updtd all software, bios, etc. SOS!!! Thx.
This is an update to the question I posted above and how the problem was solved. Per Lenovo expert, battery life on 4K UHD should still be in 8-10 hour range. I went to Geek Squad to see if they could help diagnose or adjust...alas not. Thus, I exchanged for a new one. New one is the dream machine...battery life up to 8-13 hours! Fan barely runs, is totally quiet even when running (didn't even have to switch to quiet mode on the bios), and the machine is cool. (Previous one was too hot to sit on lap at times. Fan was constantly running when laptop was open, but not even doing anything and yet machine was still overly hot. Clearly there was something wrong with that one.) I haven't had to make the myriad adjustments recommended to get the increased battery life or silence the fan or anything. If you are struggling with these things, just exchange it! Clearly not all these machines are identical internally and obviously one configuration of components works better together than the other configuration. Lenovo...take notice. The complaints are real and the machines really are not all performing the same. The ones that work are a dream, but the ones that don't are quite problematic. If you get one that works, it's an awesome laptop. Oh, and the shift key and page up key issue that most are complaining about is so easy to swap with the KeyTweak free app. And the black keys are snap ons so you can actually carefully lift off the two key tops and swap their places so they match the remapped key assignments you make with KeyTweak. PERFECT!!!

Mobile Computing Made Easy How mobile do you need to be? From among of the world's lightest, to the most powerful, Samsung mobile computers take productivity with you wherever you go.
what is the micro sd card slot
i would like to know if the storage that can be expandable includes apps and games. for example if i put in a 64gb memory card. will i have 64gb of storage to hold games and apps and movies?
Whether or not you can use expandable storage on any device for apps and games is dependent primarily on whether or not the programmer allowed for that option with their app or game. Some apps are written to be a resident on the main device storage in order to be functional. Additionally, some games and apps don't perform as smoothly when they are not resident on the device's storage. You can typically though use expandable storage for movies, videos, pictures and music files which are very storage intensive items on all devices.
