The Pros:Dark brown finish looks great, doesn't try to imitate the MacBook look. Competitively priced compared to similar Sandy Bridge laptops currently on the market. Boot times are noticeably faster with Lenovo's Enhanced Experience technology.

The Cons:Storage options don't include SSDs, limited to 5400rpm HDDs. Glossy plastic finish picks up fingerprints very easily. Lenovo's "Enhanced Experience" software cannot be easily removed without a complete format and Windows reinstall.
