Bought this last week for £280 and the price has dropped. Am very pleased with it and it was in excellent condition. Think it's very good for the price

I wouldn't buy Lenovo ever again, bought a Z70 and a lot of people are having issues with a manufacturing defect which Lenovo acknowledged half a year ago with no further word since. I sent my Laptop in to get repaired and it was refused due to it being a manufacturing defect, just managed to get them to send it off again so I'll see how it goes... But that's definitely the last Lenovo laptop I will buy.

Looks interesting, any comments on the screen quality or battery life?

bad.
Screen is a FHD TN panel. Not only that, it is a bad TN panel.
Do not like Z50 FHD. There were many deals of Z50 last year here. And have heard of a lot of bad feedbacks from people who purchased Z50.
Battery lasts about 4 hours on mine. Screen seems ok to me. No complaints.

Thanks for the reply, I see there's 9 left, so a little time to do some research on if I can stick an SSD in it and increase RAM, thanks again :smiley:

The keyboard seems fine on this model. Bought a new HP last year and it stopped working after 3 months. Fortunately Argos gave me a full refund. I suppose faults can happen with most companies

It's not just that, it's the fact that half a year later they still haven't given us an update and are refusing the replace the systems. I guess they're just waiting everyone's warranties to expire.

Seems pretty easy to upgrade the ssd and memory on this. Quite tempted now.

It has a us keyboard layout So a couple of the keys are different but it's no big deal

I'll take a lenovo over hp any day but I'd rather buy proper Thinkpads used for the much higher build quality than the low end gear.
If you're after a cheap laptop then this is a good buy

HP Probook and Elitebook are good too.
So do not dismiss HP completely.
HP Probook since Christmas has been below or around £300.

Why are you faffing about with Lenovo? Go to the retailer invoke SOGA and get it replaced.

Last year brand new Z50 FHD, i3, 8GB RAM, 1TB HDD, French keyboard, was £250 from Amazon Frence. Still some people not happy.

Z50 refurb for £260. Do not touch it.
