Going well

Date:February 2, 2013
Pros: Battery, Input/Output compatibility, Weight, Processor, Memory, Wireless card, Keyboard/peripherals, Screen size, Storage, Display resolution, Display performance
Cons: Bluetooth
"I got an L430, I5 3210, 14" 1600x900. I love the screen resolution, and the fact that it is not glossy. It does have a limited viewing angle.
I had some trouble installing all the Windows updates, had to select a few at a time and repeat the process many times.
I like how easy it is to add in more DRAM and access the hard drive. I just need to work out if the mini PCIe slot will accept mSATA, to add in a SSD.
My only complaint, and this may be why this unit was cheap, is that it doesn't have a camera. I know others do, but if that was important to me I should have been paying attention.
Overall, a great laptop for home. Now I need to persuade work to buy me one just the same."

Hate, hate, hate

Date:November 6, 2012
Cons: Keyboard/peripherals, touchpad is horrible
"I HATE the touchpad on this computer. It is in the WORST possible place for anyone who actually types. I have to turn it off (F6) EVERY TIME I SIT DOWN TO WORK. Loved my old Lenovo; HATE this one."
