The fact that it comes preinstalled with win7 despite being licensed for win8 is a quality sign for Lenovo.
But if you want to try out Win 8, get a separate hard drive to do it on, you might not be able to go back.

Probably!

I've been using Windows 8/8.1 for years. I love it. No, I don't use the pointless metro, except extremely occasionally. Doesn't the Windows 8.1 install offer an option to upgrade?
If not, I'm pretty sure I read that Windows 10 will offer one. Given that it will be out this summer (latest by August), you might want to consider waiting...

Not at all... mine came without superfish...
I've tested several other brands after years and the thinkvantage solution is perfect in many ways:
- Access connections which allows you to change network profiles with a couple of clicks (useful when you have to be connected to your network, home, machines, robots...).
- System update (which search for your newest drivers automatically and allow them to be installed delayed or immediately).
Those are the best ones, but there's also a password manager, system diagnostics...

As far as I can tell, my Yoga Pro 2 didn't have superfish either, but the incident did leave a bad taste. I'm used to PC suppliers putting crapware on, but not crapware that hijacked things. I was otherwise very happy with my shiny laptop...

I still had to uninstall Norton (as always with all of them), maxthon, nitro pdf, and some other wonderful and helpful software but that's another story...

What about that laptop?
Does it really helps being able to change it's "shape"?
I've found my new t450s to be extremely light, but possibly a little small in display (1920x1080 in 14" is wonderful, but I still have to see if my eyes will cope well with that or not...).

I mostly bought it for working on the train. The super high dpi screen has been useful - now the programs we release work happily in high-def, unlike Photoshop (from what I hear).
As for the shape... That's handy when I'm bored and want to watch a film instead of working. I hardly ever use touch for "real" work.

I've already seen that several times on different social media in the last couple of days.
I'd love it when the machine in the movie at the bottom was actually just fishing that shape out of red paint.

The world, unfortunately, is full of elephants. And we get our share here as well.
