Product Description
Excellent laptop after initial problems!
Ordered this and received from Amazon the following day. However this laptop was faulty and could not connect to internet over WiFi. Showed very low signal even when right next to the router! Promptly sent back and a another was immediately despatched (Thank you Amazon).
The replacement was brilliant. Only one problem - could not download Windows 8 updates! This was quickly resolved with a call to Lenovo. If anyone else has this issue simply do following:
Bring up menu by either pressing "Win" X or moving mouse pointer to bottom left of screen when in desktop mode and right click. Click on "Run" then type services.msc into box. Scroll down list of running services to find "Nalpeiron licensing service". Right click on this and disable it. Win 8 updates will then go through with no probs.
Good machine runs nice and cool. Superb spec for the price.

Review 1 : Excellent laptop for the price
Lenovo was not my initial choice of manufacturer but that was based on lack of knowledge rather than anything else. I wanted an i5 processor, 6 GB RAM, 1TB hard disc, reasonable graphics and sound and ideally a backlit keyboard. Screen quality was not a priority as I plan to use a separate screen. All at the best possible price.
The Lenovo Z500 was what emerged from my search and it was well reviewed. The backlit keyboard was the final decisive factor.
Researching Lenovo, it is much bigger than I had realised, and (against industry trends to outsource) is making strides to keep much manufacturing in-house to get better consistency and quality. After a week, I am very happy with my choice. The machine is well made, runs quickly and quietly, and Windows 8 is much faster than Windows 7.
I noted some issues from other reviews - that the screen brightness was not easy to adjust, likewise the backlit screen was hard to operate. And I noted many comments on...
