Lenovo B50-45 (MCD2GGE) Notebook Review

Agonizing. Lenovo will not win any awards with the abysmal performance of the new AMD E-6010 dual-core and the integrated R2 graphics. But then, its price is cheap. To what extent the office snail exhausted the tester's patience, and whether multimedia...

Low price, Vast range of models, Nice design, Fairly bright, matte screen, Quiet, Economic, Cool, Decent touchpad

Sluggish, Overburdened in multitasking, Higher GPU power useless, Extremely bad HDD performance, Cheap keyboard, All interfaces on the front, Mono speaker's unpleasant sound

We can only recommend Lenovo's B50-45 in the tested MCD2GGE version to patient natures, for whom every Euro counts when buying a laptop. The doubtlessly very low price is offset by a still acceptable total bundle though its appeal suffers under the...

Lenovo B50-45 Notebook Review Update

Below average. Lenovo decided to use the new Beema APU from AMD in its B50-45. Only 390 Euros (~$494) is due for the simple office notebook with a size of 15.6-inches. However, the computer definitely reflects its low price tag.

matte display, works quietly, gets hardly warmer, maintenance hatch

dark, bluish display, springy keyboard, only 12 month warranty, poor battery life, poor web cam

With the B50-45, Lenovo has a simple 15.6-inch notebook in its line-up, which performs well in office and Internet use as well as video playback. Its CPU and GPU performance are significantly higher than the already reviewed Lenovo B50-30's. Intel's...

Great Laptop for the Price

For the money, this is a great laptop for a student.

Inexpensive full sized real laptop - Comes with Windows 7 Pro but also includes media for Windows 8 Pro or you can upgrade to Windows 10.

You have to do *ALL* of the Windows updates, then remove the included bloatware then it runs great. If you try to use it before doing windows updates, it's slow.

Disappointing

Have been happy with newegg in the past but very disappointed with this as it was made out to be a great laptop and it's not.

This computer is incredibly slow, and comes preloaded with many unnecessary programs that cause it to run slower. It's not worth the money. And of course because I purchased it before I needed it I now cannot return it to newegg as it is past the...

Great Quality for a $300 Laptop!

I was deciding between this laptop and an HP laptop. I ended up going with this one because i have used Lenovos in the past and have had a good experience with them. I am happy to say that it was an excellent decision as i love this laptop. The build...
