My previous laptop was getting old so I decided to pull the trigger for this one. My previous one had a larger screen than this one (15.6"), but I decided to go with a more compact route this time, since I'm only going to use this occasionally when I visit my mother. It is an adjustment having the smaller keyboard (I'm 5'11 and have long fingers), but that's just part of the tradeoff of having a smaller device. The shift and backspace keys are proving to be the more difficult ones., and I also miss the number pad I had on my previous one. The screen is also noticeably smaller, but I don't really mind small font. I've been using it for about a week and so far the power seems to hold up fine for doing basic tasks like video streaming, internet browsing, and working with excel and word processor. I like the design, it's simple and sleek, and it has a nice, sturdy feeling to it. For the price of $325, I'd say it's a good deal - I can see myself easily having this for the next 5-6 years. A few minor complaints is I don't like Lenovo's rounded keys at the bottom and I would rather have not paid for the extra features of it having a tablet mode or it rotating completely around. I'm not going to use those features.
I did not see a whole lot of options for this size laptop that runs Windows OS and for this price, so I'm glad this one was a good fit.
In summary, I would not recommend this for regular/daily use for work or school (I would go a little bigger both for the keyboard size and the size of screen/text), but for occasional use to have around for traveling or recreation, I would certainly recommend.
