What you should know

What Is A Cell? It's a
battery
Though technically a battery has multiple cells, we are accustomed to calling a
single energy cell a battery as well.In
electronics, a battery or voltaic cell is a combination of many electrochemical
Galvanic cells of identical type to store chemical energy and to deliver it in
the form of electricity. The battery cells combine to produce more energy
(voltage or amps) than a cell by itself. When joined in this way, it is a
battery of cells. Almost all portable electronics use one or more cells -
rechargeable or disposable. The more cells, the more energy available -
meaning more hours of use usually.
In Notebook computers, the battery case usually
holds three or more cells. 3 Cell batteries tend to provide about 1-3
hours of use, depending on the energy needs of the Laptop. 6 cell (or
more) batteries provide much more energy, and many more hours of use. This
can be good or bad! More cells mean longer use, but more weight too!
So remember to always check for the number of
cells if specified, and choose the right configuration for your use.
Battery Trivia:
The invention of the first battery (known as a Voltaic pile) was in 1800 by
Alessandro Volta! The first known usage of the battery (as we know it
today) was in 1863 by the physician named Flora Bills. |

Recovery Media
Most computer systems no longer include "Recovery Media" (Disks or CDs used to restore your computer system to it's factory shipped state). Many do not even include Operating System disks.
This is not specific to systems purchased from any one company, but now standard practice throughout the entire industry.
However, many manufacturers include software on the hard drive that creates recovery media for you. This allows burning your own set of recovery CDs or DVDs - all you need is the blank media.
Inclusion of such a recovery utility varies by manufacturer and model; not all manufactures and models include such a utility. For those that include such a utility we recommend you create your own set of recovery media after completing the Windows installation. In other words, right after you start using your PC!
If you fail to do this and encounter a difficulty in the future you may not be able to properly restore your computer.
Some manufacturers may have physical recovery media available separately for purchase; consult your owner’s manual support information section for additional information. Systems that do not come with a CD/DVD burner may still include Recovery Disks - please check the manufacturer's specs.

Customer Reviews
Great Deal!!!
I needed a laptop that could run virtualization software for my class. This computer has the necessary components that will allow me to complete my virtualization assignments!
Good Deal
I have had it a few weeks with no problem. The one thing I did not like is lots of unnecessary software installed on it. A good deal for the price.
Excellent product
Beautiful clarity,quick response.
Good laptop but lacks 'wow' factor
I've had it for 5 days now. So, far it's been good. You do get what you pay for.
I'm disappointed in the screen and graphics but that's my own fault for not looking more closely. Last laptop was 7 years ago, so I just assumed the graphics and screen would be on par with my couple year old desktop. Don't get me wrong, it's a good machine, fast, has the basics which is all I need, but I decided to send back and spend the extra $200 for the IdeaPad Z560, mainly for the screen and upgraded graphics card. .
Very Disappointing
This is my third, and maybe last Lenovo product. With no rhyme nor reason, the alpha keyboard will go to numeric. There are no indications of problems on either microsoft's not Lenovo's support sites. Don't really know whether this is a Windows 7 or a Lenovo issue. Don't really care, just wish someone would address it. the lenovo support site is not very useful.
