I ordered my Lenovo U410 in Ruby Red on Wednesday evening and it arrived on Saturday morning; a great day to be given a new toy to play with!
The box contained the laptop, the PSU and a few instruction manuals and that's all. It felt rather sparse, but I'm not exactly sure what else I was expecting - maybe a little USB mouse or a T-Shirt or a USB data stick or something.
Anyway, after unboxing the U410 the first thing that struck me about it was its size - it's really nice. The 14" screen may only be 0.7" larger than the standard 13.3" screens, but I can really feel that little extra size on both the screen and the keyboard, and for me it's certainly worth it.
The second thing about its size is that it belies the pad's weight. Looking at the machine you feel it's pretty small and so it should be as light...

Review 1 : Problem solved!
After reading a lot of reviews about poor wifi connectivity on the lenovo u410, I was wary about getting it so contacted Lenovo about the problem first. They said that there had been a problem but this has been fixed, and any laptop manufactured from july 27th and onwards will not suffer from the same problem. I then contacted amazon to check when their stock had been manufactured, and found that lenovo had pulled all the defective laptops and replaced them with the new, fully working models.
So now I have one, and I must say the wifi connection, and everything else, is excellent! A brilliant laptop all round, much faster than my desktop and starting up the laptop takes seconds! Perfect for university!
Just thought I should let people know, as this laptop definitely doesn't deserve a 2 star rating now that its only flaw has been fixed.
Review 2 : Bang for buck, best ultrabook out there. With a fault.
Bought this Lenovo with high hopes seeing as it was well designed, had all the ports dropped out of the thinner/lighter ultrabooks and even had a dedicated graphics card.
The touchpad is great and the keyboard is a dream to type on.
But - after not one but two separate laptops, both had the wi-fi connectivity issues almost everyone else has been having. Only if you're extremely close to your router are you able to get high speed internet.
Tried adjusting settings and updating drivers, and even contacted Lenovo 3 times who are oblivious to this issue. Go on their forums - people from around the world are having this same issue.
One word: avoid. Save time and don't bother, get a different computer.
