I have had this laptop for about a year now and has been very helpful. I am a gamer and I use steam with many games that very rarely lag. I also run a public 'minecraft' server which has no lag or problems either. I also use it for work and have microsoft office, it doesn't come with much except some lenovo software like Levono Veriface the webcam recognises your face and logs you in without the need of inputting your password. It comes with two graphics cards, an intel HD graphics 3000 and an nvidia geforce gt 530m the nvidia graphics card uses more RAM and CPU but is isn't bad for gaming. The i3 processor is fine and is not a problem but it's not the best either. It has 3 USB 2.0 ports, a HDMI port which you could connect to your TV. The battery life isn't bad as it lasts about five hours if you aren't doing anything too resource demanding. It is also quite light for it's size. The keyboard is breathable and there is a 'Efficient Thermal Dissipation' mode so you don't need to worry about over heating.
