Impression:
The apparance is not garish than I imagined. The body is matte black finished and the front panel is rounded with black brushed aluminum designing. It has a handle on the top panel, which is useful in carrying. First 3 sec of the boot system tried to test all fan at full speed and after that the fan speed down. The fans are controled very quietly while I'm testing to maintain the system for using. HDD sounds rather louder than them. The room temp is around 10 to 15 celsius degree. I'm thinking to report how the fan noise will be after using this system for a while. Thanks to the Lenovo EE the boot time and shut down are so fast and I'm satisfied with it. The OS behavior is very responsive, I think SSD is contributing to it, but the 2.0TB HDD seems to ruin its benefit a little at some task e.g creating folders on HDD, using explorer browsing through each disks. I sometimes feel 2 or 3 sec lagging during them. I haven't searched how they can be tweaked, so there might be ways to solve them. (Is Anti Virus Software affecting this?) The software bundle is very few. I don't like the system which have bulk of bundled software I won't use, so I have positive feeling on how Lenovo did. Bundled softwares:
FileBuckup, Lenovo DinamicBrightness System, Lenovo Eye Distance System, LVT, Power Dial, Lenovo Rescue System, Power2go, PowerDVD9, Lenovo USB2.0 UVC Camera, Nvidia 3D Vision, Renesas Electronics USB3.0 Host Controller Driver, Intel Rapid Storage Technologie.
Next time, I'm going to post a overview and impression how it will work with FL Studio and other plugins.
