Hi, I saw this Lenovo ideapad 700 which looks like a good value for the money. Anyone have bought it? Need some reviews on build quality and heating management. i7-6700HQ and 128gb pcie ssd is definitely worth for such price. I don't really care about gtx950m ddr3 coz the guy doesnt play heavy games at all.

Just bought one few days ago. So far so good. Really smooth and steady. Value to money. A little heavy though... Battery life better than my expectation.. Forgot to bring my charger and able to squeeze out 4 hours of usage and left 61% of juice.. Not in heavy task. Just lecturing presentation.

Bought Ideapad 700
Spec: i7-6700HQ, 4GB +8GB DDR4 Ram, GTX950M DDR3, 128GB PCIe SSD, 500GB HDD, 1920x1080 Matte Screen 15"

Usage: To replace desktop for designing work, not into gaming (gamers will look for >GTX960 anyway)
Notebook Criteria: 15" Matte Screen, Quadcore, Full Keyboard, Good Thermal Management, solid build
Previous notebook: Thinkpad T430 (i5 3210M, 8GB, 128GB sata SDD, 1366x768 14")
Consideration list before buying this: MSI GL62/CX62/PE60, Asus K501U, HP Pavilion 15, Thinkpad Edge series

Physical review:
1) made of plastic slim and medium solid (not as solid as business laptop).
2) design is plain and practical, somehow will attract some finger print
3) keyboard construction is solid, but it gives soft typing feel (not like thinkpad/steel series)
4) screen & color contrast is above average
5) speaker is loud and lack of bass
6) No Optical Drive
7) Battery life 2-3 hours
8) 2 years warranty

Thermal management (i like this the most)
1) very good.. no cooling pad needed.. in fact, the warmest is the PCIe SSD..
2) vent position below LCD hinge, 2 fan design
3) very silent under normal use, not noisy under full load
