If I got a nickel every time I was impressed by a small business' computer... I'd have no nickles.

Lenovo should sell this to homeless folks then...
Just make a sign "Not impressed with my laptp[, toss a nickle."
Homeless folks would have a ton of nickles.

This being said, the Ivy Bridge CPUs do offer 15 percent better performance than their predecessor ...

10-15% was Sandy Bridge vs. Nehalem. Ivy Bridge only offers up to 5% improvement over Sandy Bridge.
