Flawed Elegance
By James F. Kallaugher
With regrets, I cannot recommend this laptop due to 2 key flaws:1- Problematic Intel Centrino Wireless N 2200 BGN card: worked intermittently at N levels(115 Mbps), for the most part at G levels (54 Mbps) , and occasionally not at all!See Lenovo Forums for several comments and complaints about these Wifi issues, and it's lack of a hardware/software solution.2- Battery last for only about 4 to 4.5 hours unders regular use, about half of what Lenovo advertises.These short comings are unfortunate, because the rest of the U410 is an excellent laptop for the money. I may have received a lemon that doesn't represent this product line, butwas dismayed to find so much negative commentary in the U410's forum on the Wifi issue.

By One Mad Customer
If you are interested in buying this ultrabook, please read this before taking the plunge.First:There is absolutely no 'ultra' on this notebook, unless you consider using it to read/write documents, photos and videos... yes, there is NO wifi connection!The display is below average, despite the use of the NVIDIA 610M which is quite good. You may find yourself positioning the screen at an angle that is OK to look at.The battery does NOT last up to 8hrs no matter what the settings are... do not believe in this marketing scam.Although misleading, there is NO bluetooth either.Second:Do not hope for any support coming from Lenovo. They are very aware of the wifi problem but they have yet to find out what exactly solves this issue. Unless you are willing to send your brand new machine back to service and to be gutted in order to assess the problem, be my guest. Customers all over the world have been experiencing this problem but no solution has actually been found.Third:I bought this ultrabook in California, however, I live in Brazil. Lenovo Brazil DOES NOT provide ANY support and it is not possible to buy the extended warranty for this particularly model. Be careful is Lenovo doesn't support the U310/U410 in your country either.Fourth:Lenovo seems to be joking around with customers all over the globe. They have not taken these defective models out of the stores, instead, they keep selling it to anyone who is willing to pay for it. I'm no American, but this doesn't really appeal to me as a fair and honest company. Shame on you Lenovo!I can't stress enough how frustrating it is to deal with Lenovo once you buy this notebook. The wifi does only 'work' on models manufactured after 7/23/2012 as an administrator at lenovo.com has stated, so you have been warned.Save yourself some time and trouble by spending a hundred dollars more to get the ASUS UX31A, now that's an ultrabook!I hope I can help you guys shopping for a new ultrabook.

Love the laptop- just be aware of wifi flaw!
By J. Woodward
Hi everyone, I have had this beautiful laptop for a week now. It is a quality built laptop (made of aluminum alloy) and is often compared to the mac due to its quality build. It has windows 8 which I am getting used to (coming from Windows Vista). I love the 3.0 USBs X2. You do not know how important having those is, especially when I am transferring data constantly for homework and projects for engineering. Extremely lightweight and portable which is important for me since I am moving between classes and carrying this on my backpack all day- need something light. No "optical" drive, or CD ROM drive for playing movies/cd's/etc- know that when you are buying this since it is for making it lighter weight; one can work around this by burning the CD on another laptop and transferring via USB OR by buying an external CD ROM. I might need to purchase an external CD ROM since I desire to download photoshop... and there are 8 CD's. Good to know and be informed as you are deciding..But, there is a design flaw in terms of the wi-fi. I was aware of an extremely common wi-fi issue coming from Lenova U series (includes this U410 and U310). People would complain that they have either 1) a disconnecting wi-fi internet problem 2) low signals until very close to wi-fi access.My theory is that since the casing of the laptop is almost 100% thin aluminum, the metal casing is reducing the wi-fi strength. In other words, the wi-fi adaptor is like your cell phone trying to text inside a metal elevator casing- reducing the signal or losing it frequently. Also like when you go through a tunnel. Maybe the design flaw is because they are almost mimicking the mac's metal chassis and they failed mimicking on one key part... like allowing an opening for the wi-fi antenna....Regardless- My love for this laptop will outweigh returning the laptop- for now- as I am currently purchasing an external wi-fi antenna USB. An antenna will test my hypothesis of whether it is the whole casing, which is the design flaw, or if the brand new network adaptor sucks (unlikely but possible).Keep you posted.Edit: 12/6/2012Design flaw averted by simply adding on cheap external wifi adapter. Acts like an antenna to get better signals than many laptops. Yay!I bought a CISCO Lynksis external wi-fi adapter for $49.99- even though on best buy I saw it for half off. I needed internet ASAP, so I went for it (I can always order the cheaper version, then return with receipt for the current to save 25$ once it arrives)- it works! I can even access my n network now. My download speed went from 0MB to 8.6MB; Upload speed from 0MB to 3.6MB on [...]I tentatively recommend getting this laptop and investing in a $10-50 external wifi.
