On that site I liked this unit best for the same price as the Lenovo but a whole generation newer and 20% faster.

On the other hand, because it's newer it comes with Windows 8 instead of 7... the Lenovo also comes with a bigger hard drive if you like to store & carry a lot of movies or something.

Tough call! They're both good... but I really don't like the new Windows 8 - it's just so radically different. :(

I like this one! It's less money for the more portable 13.3" size which is what I have now.

It also gets very good reviews out there on the net. I think we have a winner!

EDIT: OOPS! I clicked what translated to "business" instead of "private"... what a big difference in price!!

This one is more expensive... what you gain is the portability of 13.3" vs 15.4" -- that's about it. Your call - portability and a tiny speed boost is the ONLY real difference...

That's what I was thinking! The processor is faster and the ram is upgradeable to 8 gb and the hhd is bigger. :)

had my macbook pro for about 4 years, never had a problem with it- still running smooth! :)

my previous computer (Windows XP) was wiped out by a virus that f*cked the whole system up, once you go mac you never go back!
