Good, reliable machine. It has all the main characteristics required for normal business applications. It is very light as well.

Lenovo made two poor design decisions on this TP 430s. keyboard and SD slot. The keyboard feel and spacing are good but they moved the PrintScreen button from the top row and put it next the Ctrl button. If you programming, as this machine is designed with programmers in mind, you will hit that PrintScreen key often. Very annoying. I never had a problem with any other ThinkPads and I had many of them over the years.The SD card does not fit flushed. I have that nagging feeling that I will lose my fast 128 GB card eventually because at least once a week the card pops out when I take my laptop out of my bag. I wish they create a sliding door for it. I use SD card as a backup of my work.
A few other gripes: the battery on this machine isn't fantastic. My old ThinkPad X301 was far more superior to this one. Also the machine creaks a lot, the right corner of the unit, at the ThinkPad logo. it creaks when I rest my palm on it or when I pick up the laptop.
Overall, this machine does not meet my expectation when all other ThinkPads did. The best ThinkPad by far is the X301. I am thinking about trading up to the Carbon X.

I brought this laptop and thought it is solid business class laptop. Totally wrong!Until now, I already have several issues, you can check in the lenovo forum and will found many people complaining the same problems
(1) wifi card has a problem and may randomly drop the connection. I tried installing the latest firmware, drive, and they did not help!
(2) When work with battery, the computer will suddenly shut down (without any warning) when the battery level is low (~10% in my case). You loss all the work!
(3) Two of my Logitech wireless mice does not work reliably. The left-click and hold release randomly. Both mice worked in my old computers.
