The notebook is wonderfull, beautiful sleek lines, incredible speeds, blazingly awesome, even the sound on mine is quite superb; ehmmm however there has to be a ''but'', the dvd burner sounds like a jet taking off! Its horribly loud, I actually look around to make sure no one is in the room when I have to load software, and its not just when it first starts to spin up, its always like this when in use. I can hold my finger and push in on the drive bay and it dampens some of the noise, but why? It seems there is loose plastic around the drive and the power of the drive it self is almost too much for it to hold together. On the plus side how many people around still use the cd\dvd drives anyways, I mean I carry a 2-4 gig stick at all times and most installs can now be downloaded for software. Well thats my 2 cents I love this laptop!

The Y710 is a nice looking machine I have had mine for two weeks and put it through the paces..The video driver crashes alot and the number pad is bouncy. seems as if it is just a snap in with poor fit. The shiny surfaces make it a real finger print magnet. The sound for DVD movies through Media Player is low,had to add windvd to get better volume..The sub system is a joke...but Im trying to get use to the machine now,ordered more memory to boost it up to 4gigs,and ordered second hard drive of 250gigs. Over all nice looking laptop,but Wish it performed better.

Overall I love this laptop. It games extremely well and is very attractive despite it's size. The only issues I have with it are some of the lenovo apps, which are very clever, but rarely help as well or save you the time that they are meant to and the sound. Lenovo makes a point of advertising this laptop's incredible sound system which lead me to expect an above average experience. I was wrong!! The speakers are horrible, the ''sub'' is a joke, and the dolby is not configurable beyond ''on/off'' settings. Again let me say that I do love this machine but having speakers that crackle and buzz at even 1/2 volume is completely unacceptable in my opinion...however it obviously doesn't annoy me enough to make me want to return it.....but it is still annoying ;)

A little steep from the get-go, but the components that make it worth while is the ATI Radeon 256 MB video card and the large 17'' screen. Pros: Nice SD card reader off the front, unique design w/ halo lighting, video card, sturdy. Cons: 2 GB is not enough w/ RAM hog Vista running, DVD player lags at times, heavy for some. Summary: This isn't for mobility and e-mail checking. If you want some aesthetics behind your investment and potential for gaming, 3D modeling programs, and multimedia I strongly consider this laptop.

Been waiting to get this machine and so far so good....nice screen get 130 MBS on the draft N card no lag real nice screen in a good decient frame looks frameless but still in the tradition of thinkpads tanks it looks like it wont break that easily as with some other 15.4 or 17's that seem flimsly this notebook is solid. the keyboard is amazing just gonna take some time to get use to it's normal size ...good deal
