    does anyone have this? is it a reliable computer? i'm considering selling my dell xps m1330 and putting the money towards this..as you guys might know, the dell xps line has history of HUGE problems.

    do you guys think this is a wise decision? i really want a lenovo around this price range. thanks FOR ANY ADVICE :D

    that's my concern too. my current laptop is only 3 lbs but b/c it's TOO small it overheats.

    i've used a g530 (the one before the g550). The build quality is awesome. The keyboard is awesome. There's little flex but the screen quality was not that amazing. Well, that's the sacrifice for cheap cost. Good luck for the purchase. That's definitely a nice laptop you will be getting.
