I bought this for my upcoming MSc in Machine Learning, which is a data science and programming course. I've owned and used many laptops over the last few years, including HP, Apple, and Dell, and to be honest nothing compares to this laptop.
It's a very slick and professional design, with a keyboard complete with all the standard keys you would find on a desktop keyboard, and it runs very quietly and efficiently (there isn't much noise from the cooling fan, which I am happy about, and the cooling fan runs efficiently and doesn't run erratically). The color is a matte black and the laptop looks great whether closed or open.
The trackpad, which is used to drag the cursor, is smooth and precise very good quality. One of my favorite things about the laptop is that the trackpad gives you the option of using a quick-tap function in order to left or right click more discreetly AND it has the buttons for those same functions for more precise clicking, which is slightly less quiet but still within reason. So you can click however you want. In addition to that, there is the "dot pad" in the middle of the keyboard for those who prefer to sometimes use that to drag the cursor.
The OS installed on it is Windows 7, but it is also full compatible with Linux (for those of you who are programmers), which is very useful for data processing, and it is also compatible and fit for using Unix. Windows 7 (pre-installed) comes with all kinds of Lenovo support programs, including an official Lenovo hardware scanning and health reporting program and many others. There's even an app store for Lenovo that, in my opinion, is even better than the app store for Apple. A free subscription to SugarCloud was also provided with 6 GB of free cloud storage than can sync to your other devices (mobile phones, tablets, etc). Other programs and essentials are provided, such as Skype. Microsoft Office is offered with a paid subscription (so no need to venture out and buy it yourself). Another program they provide with a free trial is something called Nitro Pro 8, which is a PDF formatting program MUCH better than Adobe and can be purchased from the application setup.
There are many other programs included that I don't have much time to write about but trust me it comes fully loaded with just about everything you need plus extras.
Overall, this laptop was certainly worth the money and should definitely be useful in my Machine Learning course this fall. Great buy A+++

It is a good work horse and does what it is supposed to do just fine. The processor is very fast and works well for the music production software I use.Best Deals for Lenovo ThinkPad Edge 68852BU 15.6" Notebook - Intel Core i5 2.60
I wanted windows 7 on my new computer but most companys only use the newest operating system which is windows 8. I am use to windows 7 and like it allot. The Lenovo Thinkpad is a very good grade business computer and works well with windows 7. The computer came with an anytime upgrade to Windows 8 if desired, nice touch.In short, the computer is excellent and does what I need it to do with my business.
