Super Performing Laptop

Verified Purchase:Yes
I am not a gamer but need a powerful machine with quality display to handle photo/video editing and good sized financial spreadsheets. Tried several laptops before this one with varying degrees of satisfaction, got this one because it had the specs and was a great deal. Was super happy with the performance, no waiting on photoshop or other apps at all. Bottom line is:
Pros:
* Super fast CPU and memory. Performance is great.
* Display is beautiful and fast. Not sure how it would be for a gamer, but for my apps and videos, it is wonderful
* The SSD is small but plenty big enough for software and OS. The HDD is very fast, 7500 rpm, and is a good complement for data and files.
* The PC is light and thin for what it has. only 6 lbs or so. Very portable.

Cons
* The keyboard design leaves a lot to be desired. The keytop font is not the best, the backlight is red and weak so it us pretty much useless, and for some unknown reason, they completely left off the End key. While the tactile feel is good, it is not designed well at all. No idea why they did not design a better keyboard as they do have the space. Since I will be using an external mouse and keyboard most of the time, I can live with this. If this was a better keyboard, would have given it 5 stars.

Other:
* Battery lasts about 4 hours, not bad for a gaming PC with an Nvidia 1060.

Great Laptop

Originaly had some concerns about getting an HP laptop because of issues experienced with work machines but this one is a gem. Needed a light PC for traveling but still with the power to run Photoshop and Excel. This has all that and more with a beautiful 4k display. Love that it has 3 USB ports, 2 are USB-C, as well as an HDMI. The keyboard is full sized, easy to use and the B&O speakers are as good as any you will find on a laptop of this size, Network performance is very good also. In short, love this PC.

Great Performer, Super display

This is my 2nd Lenovo ultralight and is the best. I use this as a second laptop for travel and whenever I leave the house. Do photo editing, spreadsheets, other local apps as well as surfing and the performance is great. Love the 4K display, it is crisp and sharp with great colors. See my pics with so much detail it is unbelievable. And the touchscreen works extremely well. Very happy with this laptop.
This laptop does not have an optical drive, left off to save weight and size, But that is not a big deal, most people would not buy a laptop like this for the DVD drive. The 256Gig SSD is fast but not very large, easily remedied with a USB external or a thumb drive.
Highly recommended.

Screen Stays black trying to wake up from sleep mode
Well, this is not a question but an answer. Anyway, it does not happen with my unit. Suggest you update the BIOS, that might fix the issue
