Comments about Lenovo IdeaPad Z570 1024-9UU 15.6" Notebook Computer (Gunmetal Gray):
We purchased this computer 1 month ago, it was working well then suddenly had an issue with the keyboard, we spoke to lenovo who requested the computer back to be fixed and have now told us it will take another 3months before they will be able to replace the part. So far a very painful experience.

This is a very good computer, I was just surprised ath the size (bigger than I thought) and the color (it is purple/eggplant color, not grey). It is good for word processing and internet. Solid, quality computer.
