Very Good

It's a solid laptop and fulfills all my business needs. Gaming is ok, but I didn't buy this to play games, I bought it to use it for work. Not much else to say. I'm trying to think of bad things to say about it. Oh, I wish the hinges were a little bit tighter, but it's still good. typing is good, I didn't find it hard connecting ports at all,
OK

I received my Sl400 about a week and a half ago, and was loving it. The boot times really weren't that slow, the fingerprint reader worked really well, the screen was great(go for the higher pixel matte screen) and performance was good. The keyboard is also really good. However, this morning, about 10 seconds after I logged in, it blue screened, and rebooted, now every time I log in the same thing happens, and it loops till you switch the laptop off. However, this is probably just a one time bug due to too many processes at once.
Overall it is a decent laptop, probably overpriced in my opinion, I customized it for $2,180, but I'm disappointed that a 'reliable' and 'secure' laptop is blue screening under hardly any stress.
quite good one

I received my Sl400 with preloaded Windows Vista business . Processing was fast with very low heat output. As told, wi-fi was excellent with high range. I would like to mention that Lenovo tools has enhanced system performance.
Lenovo SL400 a solid, budget-priced winner.

I just received my SL400, pretty-much configured as described; sans fingerprint reader. I opted for the solid state flash memory which was a good investment for an extra $25 since it cut my boot times down considerably to just a few seconds; definitely not as slow as reviewed. I too don't like the shiny/glossy lid which is a fingerprint/scratch trap and would urge Lenovo to return to a matte finish. Also, I'd bag the 45 degree bevel which makes locating ports on the side a bit tedious, but not overly a big problem. On a scale of 1-10, I'd give it a solid 8, and it is definitely priced right; although my last year's T61 was only #300 more and had a more solid feel; but this comes quite close. Overall a good budget laptop that can most anything, except perhaps high end gaming. I'd also suggest the WUVGA anti-glare screen rather than the high gloss LCD. Definitely a good value.
