Is it okay to purchase a laptop without HDD activity LED?

M looking at this Lenovo laptop, it's a core i7 4th generation, FHD display, 8GB RAM, 1TB HDD, GeForce840M with 4GB dedicated graphics memory, and costs just $1000.

i like it, but it doesn't have a HDD activity LED.
should I get it? Will the lack of the LED be a major problem in future?

I can think of a few situations where i would like the HDD LED--

1>installing Windows, the installer is not responding-- i can check if there's HDD activity.
2>starting/shutting down Windows-- if the startup/shutdown stops responding i can check if there's HDD activity.
3>Windows updates-- if it locks up during an update, i can check if there's disk activity…

But these aren't very common situations.
So what then, shall i get this Lenovo?

For 1000 dollars it bound to have some sort of hdd activity led as of the three things you mention is the main purpose of having a hdd activity led

It doesn't.
it has 3 LEDs-- battery status, power status, and caps lock…
No LED for Wi-Fi, no LED for HDD.
Shall I skip it and get an HP?

The led does nothing

Gee

Its pretty meaningless, yes it would be nice to know in these situations but would it be helpful? No it wouldn't. There's no need to have an HDD indicator.
