Update: May 16, 2015 - The unit itself is fine for my productivity needs. I am able to do any type of business productive, including excel, video conferencing, webbrowsing, etc. I have had zero drops with my Wifi (I use/connect w/ Comcast's modem).
Some quirks/comments/observations with Windows 8.1: It's actually extremely stabile. It seems the OP system itself as well as Lenovo a program provide within the "bloatware" that came with the unit does all the monitoring to keep the system running smoothly. Unlike others, found by going on line and reading instructive/informational commentary in regards to 8.1 was helpful. The first thing I did was ask: Why's my desktop when running 8.1. Now when my computer starts up it is a breeze to locate my Windows XP looking destop. I load a prgram titled "Classic Shell." There are others, yet this has worked perferctly. I have a start menu.
I notice the font of my folders located on my desktop are titled using black font. This is a quirk with 8.1. I have come to realize that when you adjust the color of your desktop the font changes from black to white depending on the color. With the navy blue I have come accustomed to the folder label font is black. With Windows XP it's white. I changed the color under Personlization under Control Panel to a deep dark maroon. The font labels to each destop folder is now white.
The Battery life on this unit is pretty weak. I knew this going in. I use this computer for business and I generally have access to power.
The lock screen. You must have a MSFT one drive account. When you sign on to the computer at start up/power up you are asked for your password. I found this aggravating because when I'm using the computer and I walk away from it and return 5 minutes later, I'm a dialog box appears requesting my password. I found a solution. Go to your Control Panel and tweek the Lock Screen settings. I choose a PIN code. I can use it when I'm working in a trusting environment. If out of town I am able to switch to full password access only. This again, is a quirk with 8.1. You apparently are unable to turn off the security completely.
As to the "crazy" looking desktop, which looks like a smart phone when you first start up the computer. Ignore it by using something like Classic Shell and with the click of one buttion on the the desktop you are at the XP original desktop.
I have read complaints about pop ups and excessive notifications from Lenovo itself in terms of their own OP within this unit. When you start-up the computer on the 8.1 desktop (before you click over to the XP looking desktop using something like Classic Shell) click the Pin Wheel icon. It's one of the squares on your desktop. Another screen immediately adajecent to that square is your "desktop" square which takes you to the XP looking desktop. Click the Pin Wheel. It's labeled Lenovo. It's all the settings for the computer as they pertain to Lenovo. Adjust how you want notification, etc. to function.
Finally, I uninstalled McAfee (part of the bloatware). You'll need to go online to McAfee and download their uninstaller. It's easy. Yes, I was agitated because I shouldn't have to load a program to uninstall a program, yet in this day and age, I've come accustomed to expecting such nonsense. Because I have Comcast, I receive Norton Untility Suite. Norton will easily remove the Superfish adware that came with the computer. Again, I expect pre-loaded adware. Others, get bent out of shape, yet realize all companies look for an edge. You just have to be diligent and remove various programs, adware, etc. from any computer you may purchase. It's the nature of these modern times.
As to the keys and the track/touch pad. I agree that the keys aren't the best. Yet, because the computer is so large and the fact that I am able to rest my palms on either side of the touch pad, I have had no issues. When working at home, I use an Logitech wireless ergonomic keyboard as well as a Anker wireless mouse. Hence, my actions exhibit that my preference is to use a real key board and track pad. Nevertheless, the track/touch pad and keyboard are what they are and inlight of the total package this computer brings, I am fine with it.
Pros:
High Performance - High RAM and the i7 processor means it can handle almost anything you can throw at it.
Large Screen - The 17ish inch screen is great for both gaming and watching movies, tv, etc.
Battery Life - For having such a large screen and running a lot of programs, the battery lasts quite a while, although this could change over its life.
Cons:
Keyboard - I've had it for over a month, and I still haven't gotten used to the smaller shift, backspace, and enter keys. They are smaller to allow for a full numeric keypad on the right side, which I don't particularly need so its no worth it for me. I'm sure I will get used to this after a bit, just a hard thing to get used to at first.
Weird Lenovo Settings - Out of the package this laptop comes with a setting that doesn't allow the battery to charge past 60% without telling you so. It was pretty hard to figure out what was going on, and pretty annoying figuring out how to turn it off.
Bad Customer Service - Tried to call Lenovo Customer Service about the above problem. Their customer service was closed all day Saturday, which is sort of laughable for a company of this size.
TL;DR - Great computer made by a weird company with bad customer service. Overall, its affordable for a gaming laptop, and worth dealing with Lenovo's quirks.
This is my second one of these and curiously, the performance of the latest units actually does not match up to the earlier machines. They did attempt to improve the keyboard from the completely unusable first iteration, to now where it is only just horrible. The keys provide tactile feedback when pressed anywhere on the key surface, but will only register a keystroke if pressed exactly in the center of the key. What this means is that for touch typers, you will feel like you are typing OK but will actually miss many keystrokes - especially the "A" and "space" keys. This is a very serious problem and makes the Z70 completely unusable for word processing unless you use an external keyboard. A simple $15 USB keyboard is an absolute necessity for this machine if you do extensive typing.
As for its gaming ability, the first one I had played Fallout 4 perfectly (albeit on low settings) where the newer one has unacceptable video performance and provides very low and choppy framerates unless you overclock slightly.
So much for the negatives, the Z70 is a fantastic business partner for those who are looking for the most power for the $$$. The SSD means 10-15 second startups, and the big screen allows for multiple windows and great media viewing in hotel rooms when done for the day. The big screen, disk and memory are really nice to have and no other machine comes even close to this package for at least another
$400-$500. It has very effectively replaced my laptop and desktop and all the hassles of keeping both updated and synced.
