Mine is the 2.2 GHz with dual graphics card (no optical drive). Performance is excellent in spite of 5400 revolutions per minute drive. It is not actually one terabyte drive but ~950 gigabytes, plus the 24 gigabytes of solid state drive (hybrid?).

Opens programs quickly and less prone to poor multitasking as the hardware and system much improved over the tech from 2002 and 2007 that always dragged on when doing anything moderately intensive. However, when the disk becomes 10% fragmented, it slows down considerably, but this may be due to the 5400 RPM. It does use less battery and load on the hardware compared to 7200 RPM, but I am a bit surprised that Lenovo (still?) has no SSD-only options at the time.

A few problems with the hardware (not software), the webcam is horrible. Nothing ever comes out clearly. Extremely blotchy like a Nintendo DS, I mean, the DS 3D one I have is the worst of all cameras (except for the very first smartphones?). You cannot get good sound with the internal microphones, and software actually records in mono; not stereo. Adobe Audition does not record in stereo. This must be a bogus feature to believe you into recording stereo, as I have an ASUS tablet with stereo microphones, and its applications record in mono. This is a stupid thing companies do. What is nice is to have a Blue Yeti Pro USB microphone that actually does what it says it does, but does cost quite a bit.

Pretty good machine, but for recording audio and video work, this laptop is the last thing you want. Most people use their digital cameras anymore and a USB microphone, so this is proof that the internal cam/mic on a laptop is a gimmick.

Recommended for those who want good gaming and heavy graphic design work. However, Adobe CC works much better on it than does CS6. Illustrator is really slow compared to the latest version. Always upgrade, if you can afford it. (Disclaimer: Do your research before 'just upgrading,' as sometimes upgrades have problems and are a waste of money. I have gone through this a lot in life!)

Thank you.

Found out the hard way being that this laptop is opened and "modified" by the company selling it, the Lenovo Factory Warranty is VOIDED. So you are really taking your chances here buying a laptop that someone opened up and changed both the hard drive and memory, as you'll be SOL if it breaks down the road, as Lenovo will receive the laptop and just return it back to you saying your warranty is void because it's been opened and modified.
