Screen. The corners are disgusting, you bend and unbend the display, and it shows you all different shades of the same color (of course, probably the workspace of AutoCAD or Photoshop for the desired color scheme You can set it up by simply bending the display, but I don’t like such adventures at all.). I'm not impressed with the display, although the contrast and picture quality are quite decent. The anti-glare is pleasant, at one time I used a glossy one - these are two big differences. Somehow I didn’t even think about the display when buying, more priorities were on the body and the filling.
What matrix model do you have? I wouldn't say the angles are disgusting, just regular TN.
It gets dirty, of course, but not as much as on some outlets where the lid is made of textured aluminum.
I don’t agree, it gets very dirty.
I seem to be pleased with the performance, but I supplemented the existing 4 gigabytes of memory with at least 4, and preferably 8 gigabytes.
What memory model did you use?
With a 100% charge, I set the files to be copied to the iPod, for about 30 minutes it was probably messing with the files under medium load, medium brightness, and gobbled up 60% of the battery, crazy. Of course, I launched the browser a couple of times, got on the Internet via modem, for about 10 minutes, then turned everything off, played with the display settings, but in 30 minutes more than half the battery was used - sorry, no problem. I dug into the modes and tried to configure something, but still the battery is being eaten mercilessly, apparently 4 battery cells are really not enough. I made a mistake in this regard with the battery.
You need to calibrate the battery. After calibration, my autonomy increased by almost 1.5 times. Now he thinks that he is charging the battery 100%, but in fact, only 70 percent.
The fact that the battery is not removable was spoiled by the fact that this is a completely crazy idea on the part of the developers.
Made for the sake of the thinness of the device.

lytboris, for others everything is fine, they write it flies.
Now the whole crap game is going on Far Cry 3
It started to lag, in the game menu (it also lags in other games) I somehow move the mouse with the mouse, and also the edges are somehow square.
The percentage temperature does not rise above 75 degrees
There are also nothing other than standard utilities
Energy Management works (the performance is high), I just set it to “battery protection mode”, but since everything works from the network, I don’t think that’s the issue.
In the panel Nvidia control in the section "Installing the PhysX configuration costs Geforce 740"
In the Nvidia Control Panel, under "Manage 3D Settings with nVidia High Performance Processor"
The drivers are also installed, the latest..
what the fuck...
can remove firewood and Intel, and Force, and install it again..
I am attaching pictures

I bought this laptop in August and am very pleased with the characteristics, but there are a couple of nuances that I just can’t figure out:
1) firstly, as soon as I bought the laptop I didn’t install anything yet, I noticed that Win8 took a little time to load, even compared to my old HP Pavilion dv7 4050-er
2) secondly, when installing any games, the laptop starts to work quite strained, the task manager repeatedly showed 100% disk load, on the old laptop I managed to install 2 games in parallel and still play without any lags
3) thirdly, I thought that this was a problem with Win8, I installed Win 8.1, nothing changed, then I installed Win7 and it also takes quite a long time to load, which is a little frustrating
Can someone explain what the problem is.

Angel_one,
1eon,
Thanks for the advice.
Today the laptop went to work after 9 hours blue screen death. I will describe the situation.
It rebooted, all the drivers loaded as expected, except for the Geforce video card driver. The tray icon hangs in the tray, but when you click on it we get an error message, something like - the video driver or video card was not detected. We go to the device manager and see that the Geforce 635m video card has disappeared and how to return it is not possible, because in order to install the video driver again, the video card must be detected in the manager, otherwise no version of the driver will be installed.
Just in case, I decided to go into the BIOS and see what can be done and what settings are there. There is an item for the video card that works in two modes - switcheble and UMA. I installed UMA and rebooted - no changes, the video card did not appear. I return to the previous mode by by default "switchable" and lo and behold, the video card appears in the device manager and any drivers are freely installed. I installed the driver this time 331.82, everything works great. Let's see what happens with this driver. But the catch is that the bluish screen is disrupting the video card and its the driver, nothing else. And to detect it in the system again, you need to change the mode in the BIOS back and forth. What this is connected with is not clear.

Good day, friends and comrades!
I really want to solve this problem: I bought a z500 with win8 (64 single language) - I immediately looked at it. I sat on 8 and decided to switch to 7 (luckily I had a license and the disk was at home). Like the stupidest person: I demolished all the sections for the hell of it - I reset the hard one because I don’t want to. I created 2 partitions and set them to 7. But that’s not the point. I decided to return to the store version, but that was not the case. The hidden section has been killed. With a sad look I go to the store and complain to the technicians, this way and that. They answered me: this is not possible, you killed hidden section and you can’t simply see or return a legally purchased win8, pay 2 grand and you’ll be happy. Then the persuasion began that almost every laptop has its own build of Windows ( main question: "Is it so?") or can I download the image from the website and install it?
I have a key for win8 (I tore it out using some utility) to this moment It costs official win7 (32bit). Help me get back to 8

Hello, I'm concerned about the performance of my Z500A in games. Previously there was an error http://cs311226.vk.me/v311226501/468c/JriqkCeHgtw.jpg and its solution took too long for a long time and in the end I was somehow able to decide this problem. But why does this happen? Because of this problem, I rolled back to the initial version of the drivers, because nothing worked at all on the new ones! Next... http://cs310622.vk.me/v310622501/6ee2/OaBfT5mbKFw.jpg such an error. There are always some problems with the video card and its composition as a whole. It’s not a laptop, but a whole bunch of problems that have already become boring in half a year. The release of new video driver updates does not help. For example, today I have an error http://cs310622.vk.me/v310622501/6ee2/OaBfT5mbKFw.jpg, the solution to which I don’t know! Just frustration from the laptop! Am I the only one who has this? Answer! Perhaps give me some smart advice, which is exactly what I’m hoping for. Perhaps I’ll also try to install Windows 8 - maybe it will work like clockwork. I currently have Windows 7.
I didn’t have any problems with the video card on my Lenovo Z500; installing Windows 8 won’t change anything. There are options:
1) tinker with the drivers some more
2) Try working on the built-in video card, see how the system behaves
3) reinstall windows and install everything from scratch
4) take it to a repair shop so they can test it all
I tried to reinstall Windows, nothing helped, maybe on 8R there won’t be such a problem with errors. I'll just get on my nerves because of them. Perhaps this is a defective laptop that cannot be removed?!
