Are there any hardware problems like overheating,BSODs,shutting down on this laptop?

[ducksarewet]

@DIPGLOBAL1 Haven't had any! It runs hot occasionally, but no overheating issues.

hey i just got this laptop for christmas and i was wondering if you knew how to use the webcam ...........usually most laptops have the feature where you can take pictures, and videos, and i was wondering if you knew how to do that?

[ducksarewet]

@MuMuCow8 Lucky you!. Unfortunately I do not know how to use it. I opted out of getting the webcam. Something I am regretting now.

Please, are you thing so this notebook can be use for student works? And I want use laptop for car diagnostic, where i prefere good endurance. Off course I playing games too. But not so much... thank for your comment and sorry for my bad english.

[ducksarewet]

@Darfen1 Yes, I use it for school. Its great with videos and regular games (Tom Clancy series, Flight Sim). I'm not sure what car diagnostic entails, but I bet it would work.

Thanks ducksarewet. This was really helpful to me in choosing a laptop (there isn't much on the web about the SL410, so I was very grateful for your video). Mine arrived yesterday. Beautiful machine!

great review - yea the only really bad thing about the sl410 is the glossy screen, everything else is good

[CountStrangulaX]

Great review, man. I just ordered mine today. I'm not a business person, I just like things that are well built and look professional. My HP pavilion looks like a tacky toy and feels like it's going to break if I put it in a backpack. Hopefully the thinkpad can live up to my expectations.
