Both laptops have me very confused because of the incredibly mixed reviews

Here's 2 of the Lenovo

Pros: None

Cons: Possibly the worst thing I have ever bought on the internet. This computer is slow, cheap, most of the features just barely work. Basic tasks seem impossible.

Other Thoughts: Don't buy it.

And now

Pros: So far, so good. I feel like I got quite a deal. Was at my house in 2 days. Lenovo is a top notch laptop. So far I'm thrilled. Was set-up and running within 20 minutes. Windows 8 takes getting used to. Loving the HDMI hook-up. All around great laptop so far.

Cons: I really have no major complaints. It can be a bit on the slow side but some of that is me not familiar with Windows 8.

Other Thoughts: I feel like I get a very fair deal for a nice laptop.
