Hi, I am considering this for online schooling and home use, it's billed as a "business" model. Will it still be fine for my purposes? Thank you!

Yes. This model is an entry ThinkPad notebook, and most of the customers who order it are buying it for personal use, not for business.

I'm a senior who thinks its workable. But I think I'm a hot dog. Windows 8 takes some learning, although clicking on Mail and Internet Explorer are quite straight-forward. There's a lot of learning resources on available if you get stuck. I think you might actually enjoy it.

I purchased it for business use. Needed professional for certain programs. If it wasn't for those systems would have purchased home operating system.

I purchased this software and was highly disappointed with it. It is only a sample of a business plan. If you need other documents you have to purchase them through a third party. If you csn buy it for less than $8 then it may be worth it. Otherwise I would suggest formswift 7 day trial for $7.95 . Thats where I ended up getting mine done. Ir turned out wonderful.

Sorry, I am unsure. I would refer to the website. I have used it since 1999, with success.

I used it to buy a TV last year. Well worth it if you have a steady income, but don't want to drop a lot of money at once. Been thinking of buying this laptop with this offer, since my old macbook is showing its age.

I found it to be more of something that you could let a young person to learn how to use a PC, or laptop than any thing else. But never attempted to use word processing off or online. So all I can say is good luck.it's really not of a great quality. At least not for my needs. I go to school online and it wasn't much help for me.

I think it would work fine, I use it for taping lectures and it works fine. I think it will work fine for what you want to use it for.I am very pleased with it.Fred

I mis-understood the term " teacher" edition. I was thinking it was an edition that would assit you better, or "teach" you how to use the product. But you have to register your teaching facility you work at to get the "teaching" edition. Then you can share it with multiple computers. I guess i will read the small print better. So i couldnt help much.

Yes, this is the correct product for learning. SQL Server is extremely powerful - this is a full-blown enterprise class product and you are able to get it essentially at the price of an academic license. It is specifically meant for what you're doing - learning the product. Further, so long as you stick with standard SQL, your skils will also be applicable/transferable to any other SQL DBMS, whether it be Oracle, Sybase, or mysql.

1. This is a forum for questions. 2.Your directions do not apply to this model and are therefor useless. 3.I suggest you take a class in remedial English.

That's what we use it for, (kindle, ps3, cell phone, lap top) basic home use. We've had for several months and are very satisfied. No complaints. I think we've reset it one time. I think it will be good for your described use, and it's very easy to set up.

It's o.k. for High School, but it's not as mobile as a lap top or tablet. Also does not have a battery so it has to be plugged in all the time. O.K. if it's going to sit on your desk at home. I'd check out laptops or tablets.

Hey. I'm a college student myself and here's my two cents. Wireless internet is very much available all over pretty much any campus. From personal experience attending Boston University I can tell you that for me it is available in all classrooms, the library, and study lounges and the student Union. The one place it is not provided is in the dormitories themselves where they also discourage hosting your own wireless networks, though I have managed to stay under the radar making the network hidden which is really quite simple. The lack of an optical drive could prove somewhat inconvenient. I'd suggest getting her the special external drive Apple makes to accompany it. That would take care of installing software and importing music CDs. The only place where it'd be a very serious inconvenience would be the inability to play dvds on the move without an external drive. The iTunes rental service is pretty neat but it is still an inconvenience. I personally think that trade off is well worth the benefits of having a lighter machine however. The Mac OS could prove to be a barrier if her school uses some Windows only software. The chances are working in a group she would really just need Word, Powerpoint and Excel compatibility. Microsoft Office 2008 for Mac is a great program which plays very nicely with its Windows counterpart. A lot of specialized educational software solutions these days are browser based so operating system isn't even a problem. I have a cousin who was the proud owner of a Powerbook who made it out of law school a few years ago. She raved about her experience with it and I never heard any complaints of compatibility issues. I think a MacBook Air would be a really great and thoughtful gift. Good Luck.

I would recommend it to you. The wide screen makes it ideal for movies, but the audio quality is not so great. I wouldn't say it's bad though, just the internal speakers are sub-par. Get a set of external speakers, and you'll be good to go. As far as school projects go, it's been able to handle all the projects I've used it for :)

Yes, this laptop would amply serve the needs of a student! The only "issues" per se, is the lack of the DVD/CD rom, which I really haven't missed, and that the system will sometimes restart (about 2-3 times per month). However, this is a Windows 8 issue, and not the laptop. I rarely power down my laptop so that's why I notice it. For those who shutdown more regularly, you may never have this issue at all. Hopefully Microsoft will fix this soon.
