I was reading about it earlier. Think I saw on reddit someone said it was the best for that price range.

Where did you buy yours from? Only place I saw it for 900ish was the Lenovo website, but they are sold out now.

iCrap

bought it on lenovo's site yeah, and i also got a slight student discount. I got the one with the base 1TB HDD and then added my own 512GB SSD.

I got a 256g ssd upgraded into my old dell studio hybrid from a 250g hdd, made such a huge difference and it runs much quieter now. Been my office computer for almost 6 years now when folks told me it would last two years tops due to being built off an old notebook board. Runs windows 7 64bit professional smoooooth. I got the ssd for 45 bucks on amazon kindle specials too what whatttt! I'm not really a tech guy in the least but since u guys are all talking about video games and nerdy stuff I had to brag about my new upgrade haha!

Damn this thing is badass.

Truuuu. I'm still debating if I even need/want a gaming laptop. I've basically had this on and off urge of wanting one for awhile now, but it's probably for the best if I didn't get one, just contributes to wasting time. I've been playing my PS3 occasionally now because it's summer and I'm not doing anything. Want to beat GTA V already. Don't really touch it once classes start back up.

That's pretty darn cheap for 256GB SSD, nice find.

ssjoeboe9

You can't really tell but the lip on the front bumper is about 1ft forward of the front grille. it was cray

MC MiYoung3269

lol nope

urbanstereo

anyone direct me to touch up guides on here? i got a lot of search results doing it or talking about doing it, but nothing interms of general directions. specifically sanding.

not really happy with touch up as it is and want to make it nice as possible before i put the 3m bra on

VR1

I bought the touch up paint pen thing but I'm just gonna have the dealer do it. Looks difficult.

iCrap

wetsand it down a little, put on some touchup, sand the touchup if needed, polish.

EhkoXC

Steam is EhkoXC, Origin is Ehko197. Don't remember why they're different .

iCrap

^^ it's been sitting for a year lmao. not gonna pay to get that shit painted.

Has anyone used Ultimate Compound before? (Not M105/M205).

xtcnrice

I've used it.. does a decent job on my car's paint. I don't have a whole lot of swirls/scratches since my car MY13, so I went with Meg's UC instead of M105.

I follow up with M205 on a milder pad though. Makes a huge difference

VR1

I'm thinking of using UC followed by SwirlX by hand, then I'll buy a DA later.

Did UC do anything for the swirls? Or should I use M205 + SwirlX instead of UC + SwirlX? Or UC + M205 + SwirlX?

xtcnrice

You should give UC a go first. Based on those pics, you have quite a few swirls in your paint

Problem is... you're gonna shoot yourself in the head if you do all 3 by hand lol. I say UC + M205 or UC + SwirlX (I've never tried SwirlX btw).

If you already have these products, just try out different combos on different parts of the car and see what you like. If you haven't already bought the stuff, then I'd probably go with UC + M205, or M105 + M205. M105 is definitely tried and true (iCrap used it); it will take out probably 80-90% of the scratches/swirls.

edit:
I started polishing my car last weekend... did the front end and the front passenger side door. Gonna take some time, but I'm getting there

ssjoeboe9

Are we really back on the cleaning product train....

iCrap

lmao

Yeah it's totally useless

Yup m105 is what i would suggest. and lol, it does take forever... set yourself aside a full day.

xtcnrice

lol i knew you'd be like smh
