I got mine at Best Buy for $530 and consider that a great price for an i5 2.6GHz processor and 6GB of RAM, plus a touch screen. I was a bit surprised to hear that Cnet considers this a "thick" and "old looking" laptop maybe for a grand you can buy one that is thinner and "newer looking", but for $530 I didn't see anything that would match it.Anyway, here is the good:
Screen picture quality: 1600X900 on a 14 inch screen equals pretty amazing high-def stuff.
Speed: running IE, Chrome and Office 2013 (I am not into gaming, so don't know how that would work or not)
WiDi wireless screen sharing (with compatible devices).
Build quality
Not so good:
Touch screen not responsive to gentle touches, you have to poke it pretty hard some times (don't have much to compare this to besides a smart phone).
Keyboard is a bit cramped if you are used to full size keyboards, but you get used to it.
Strange keyboard issue when USB mouse is plugged in CTRL key "sticks" (not physically but in software), so as you type it acts as if CTRL is pressed all the time (typing an "i" turns everything italic, and so on).
For $530 I thought it was a great deal, and has worked out pretty good so far :).
Best Deals for Lenovo Ideapad P400 14-inch Touchscreen Ultrabook (Graphite Gray)
After my Sony laptop was stolen, I embarked on a search for an affordable ultrabook or near-ultrabook style laptop. This was on sale at Best Buy for about $540 plus tax, and I thought I'd take a chance on it, but things didn't work out.The Good:
Great screen for a machine in in this price range. 1600 x 900 resolution, and fairly good (not amazing) color saturation. Touch is fairly responsive, though single-taps require a fairly forceful touch.
Backlit keyboard is nice, even though the keyboard has shortcomings; more below.
Nice feature set/specs for a machine in this price range. i5 processor, 6GB Ram, 500GB Hard drive with a 24GB SSD for booting.
Boots quickly and is fairly snappy, thanks to the SSD.
Lots of ports.
Design, while cumbersome and thick (more below), feels sturdy and nearly indestructible, as long as you can live with the weight...
DVD/CD drive is a nice feature.
The Bad:
HEAVY. A laptop in this size range feels like a brick at 5.5 pounds. This was one of the deal breakers for me.
Mushy/erratic keyboard. The keyboard was missing keystrokes with fairly heavy typing, and you can visibly see it buckling even with light typing. The whole thing has a chintzy, mushy feel, and leads to a horrible typing experience.
Chintzy plastic touchpad; clicks feel hollow and wobbly. Supports two finger scroll, but not any other two-finger gestures (couldn't right-click with two finger tap, for example)
Battery Life: I eeked out about 3 hours on a good day; otherwise, battery life wasn't impressive.
Overall, the heavy weight, low battery life, and sub-par typing experience prompted a return from me. It's not a bad machine, with a nice middle-of-the-road touchscreen and great internal specs; but for a road machine, I needed better battery life and more portability.
