Discount Lenovo U410 14.0-Inch Ultrabook (Graphite Grey)

Customer Ratings:

I received the laptop in January of 2013. The version I had was the one with the Intel Core i7-3517U and Windows 8. The build date was September 2012, so it should have had the WIFI issues fixed.

The good:

-Solid build

-Good screen, though not great

-Very fast processor

-Touch pad is the best I've ever used

The bad:

WIFI was working solidly after updating the Intel Wireless driver. I didn't experience any drops. However, because of the casing of this laptop, the internal wireless antenna is awful. Unless the laptop is close to the wireless router where you get 5 bars, the internet speed will not be good. I did a test with this laptop and my sister's HP A6 Vision One (bargain basement laptop) in the bedroom about 60 feet away from the router. Her laptop got 2 bars of signal but was still able to do 2.6 MBps while the Lenovo did 0.26 MBps!!!

The other negative about this laptop is the keyboard. The keys feel ok when typing, but some of the lower keys like the "c" and the "b" key would not register on the first press. Also, the configuration leaves a lot to be desired. I just could not get used to the small SHIFT key on the right side, along with the small ENTER key on that side. There's absolutely no reason they couldn't have put full size keys on the right side of the laptop. The touch pad, however, is one of the best I've ever used. So that offsets the bad keyboard a little bit.

The laptop has a very solid build, but is very heavy. The specs put it around 4.2 lbs, which is at the top end of an ultrabook's weight. I would say it weighs closer to 4.4 lbs because my Acer Aspire Timeline 4810tz is listed at 4.3 lbs and it is slightly lighter than this Lenovo.

In the end, I returned this laptop and opted for the Samsung Series 5 NP530U4C-A01US (14-inch) ultrabook. I got a "like new" version from Amazon Warehouse for only $530 and it arrived in perfect condition. It's been over a month and I am very happy with this Samsung notebook. It is lighter, runs just about as good as the Lenovo, gets excellent WIFI signal, has a better keyboard, and has a built-in DVD-RW drive.

The lenovo u410 is a nice conputer. With its i7 processor it will run smoothly for every task you need it for, and will boost up power with its nvidia dedicates graphics when needed.

The design looks great, the trackpad runs smoothly with it's multitouch gestures, and the keyboard will give you a nice experience at typing.

All in all m, you wont regret buying this computer.

Honest reviews on Lenovo U410 14.0-Inch Ultrabook (Graphite Grey)

Computer worked perfectly fine in my old apartment except for maybe a few Windows 8 glitches. As soon as I move into my new apartment, the wifi has been non-existent. I am using the same router too. I did research and keep reading about the wifi issues with this computer. What's weird is mine was manufactured in November 2013 and the faulty units were manufactured in July 2013 so they still must be selling bad units?

On the contrary, it did work fine before so I don't know...it could just be my router. Either way, I need to find a solution to this or else this was a BAD investment.

Update!

After much crying on the phone with Lenovo they finally repaired my unit at no cost. It came back fine and is working well. Lenovo came through but it took some arm twisting to get them to do so.

I purchased this laptop a few months ago. It met my expectations. It's not a super performer but it got the job done and I had no complaints until a couple of weeks ago. I go to open the laptop, like any normal person would, and the left hinge breaks and causes a separation on the bezel. The unit was new so I fgured I would be covered by the warranty. Wrong! I sent it back and a week later I get an email from Lenovo stating that the damage is not covered by the warranty and that the repair would cost $187.00. Well isn't that swell.

If you are considering purchasing this machine please take my experience into account. You are most likely better off getting something from some other manufacturer.
