This is my first personal laptop, and I'm happy with the purchase. It's good looking and fast. My only complaint is with Microsoft. They are trying to make their operating system and internet browser cleaner looking and more intuitive. Sometimes I'd rather have my options visible and let me do the thinking rather than thinking for me. That's not the fault of the computer though, and I'll get used to it eventually.

Just a few chapters away from the finish line on my first book and my old nasty broke laptop quit, then another shorted out, then another could no longer run OpenOffice. It was dire.I wanted to wait until I could afford a higher end laptop but I ended up taking a shot on this Lenovo. I needed something that could handle my workload. Writing, editing, graphics, websites, social networking... and I needed one that could do it all at once.
Elphaba will be my faithful muse while I make my writing dreams come true!
Great computer, everything was set up and running right away. No issues of any sort. So happy with her.
Special Non Lenovo Note: Window 8 is a demon from the pit of hell. It literally made me cry. Thankfully I was able to run a windows shell and get my desktop back. Still haven't been able to deactivate the "charms" bar. It makes my writing life a living hell, and graphics... ughh.
Back to Lenovo. It makes Windows 8 almost bearable. Everything is running smoothly. Fast, clean, and good price too. My book is back on track.
Oh, and why did I name her Elpahaba?
I plan to defy gravity silly!

I needed a computer because I've been using my iPad as my main computer, and I was getting tired of really only being able to use one app at a time and by the word processing functions on it. I sold the iPad and I purchased the Lenovo G585 because the price point was good, particularly with the specs included, and because of the good reviews.It ended up being a bad decision. It is near impossible to watch a streaming video without it being patchy in either the video or sound, even with no other programs or windows open. It's very frustrating, since I don't have a TV and would want to watch Hulu or Netlflix, and it makes it difficult with Facebook or Youtube videos. Even gifs don't display properly or smoothly. Regular webpages without any media content also display that "patchy" behavior, where it gets stuck in places when you're trying to scroll and even the text you are typing does not show up evenly. Pages take quite a bit to load and forget about trying to open up multiple tabs on a web browser. My first day using it, I had IE and Spotify open and it froze and crashed I haven't even tried installing most of the apps I'd like to have, including Word, because I know it will just be frustrating.
I am told it's quite possibly a Windows 8 problem, but this computer doesn't come with a Windows 7 downgrade and I'm not willing to spend more money on an installation CD. On top of that, Windows 8 is pretty frustrating to use. I'm returning the computer, and I hope I can warn some others to not waste their time.
