Long Battery Life
Laptops are invaluable for getting things done, but they're also only as good as their battery life. We take our laptops everywhere and expect batteries to keep up with us. For that reason, long battery life tops the list for many laptop buyers.
Lenovo's Power Manager helps you get the most from your battery.Lenovo's laptops are designed to run cool, which is one of the reasons they take little power. The less the cooling fan has to run, the less battery power it takes. (Smart air flow offers another benefit—it's a lot more comfortable on your wrists and lap to work on a cool system than a hot one.)
Power Manager
Lenovo laptops come loaded with Power Manager to help you easily manage your power settings. Just slide the bar towards the left for higher performance or to the right for longer battery life. Power Manager handles all the behind-the-scenes work.
Battery Stretch
Fight the dreaded "low battery" notification. Power Manager's Battery Stretch automatically turns off certain functions, like radio and Bluetooth, in order to squeeze out those extra crucial minutes of power you need to get the job done.
Battery Quality
We set above-industry standards for our battery suppliers, and we vigorously test the batteries that we allow in our systems for safety and for long life.

The only thing that it would have is the docking capability of the Thinkpad series, which would allow you to run in your home office like a desktop
We use Lenovos in work and I have always been impressed by their build quality (though some of the techies say they use some cheap components inside).
This Lenovo doesn't disappoint with build quality, everything feels solid, the hinges have a good feel to them and the screen doesn't flex.
Just a few niggles - as previously stated you have to be careful regarding positioning of the screen so as not to get dead areas. I've noticed this particularly while trialling a blu-ray last eve. I can't say it appears to be an issue (so far) when using as an ordinary laptop and not as a blu-ray player. The screen is I would say of poorer quality than on the Lenovo S205 netbook I'm using to type this review.
(Ignore this para - see comments. Another thing is that there are only 3 USB ports, not 4 as is noted in the spec (unless there's one hidden somewhere). Perhaps minor to me but might make all the difference to someone else.)
The case certainly does attract fingerprints but it's nice to look at - just wipe it down occassionally.
All in all, a nicely specced laptop let down slightly by its screen. Would still buy having known this.
As an aside I'd like to pay especial thanks to the CityLink driver who really went out of his way to get this laptop to me (I won't go in to boring details). I have emailed CityLink asking them to pass my thanks on.
