Review Lenovo G770 M533AGE Notebook

Fast boot times. The 17.3 inch G770 Lenovo notebook is equipped with Enhanced Experience and VeriFace, both of which are intended to improve the performance of the Windows 7 operating system. With EE Boot Optimizer the G770 accelerates from zero to one...

Faster booting with EE Boot Optimizer; Facial recognition with VeriFace; Attractive appearance; Included accessories from Cyberport: RAM module + notebook bag

Heavy weight; Low contrast and viewing angles; Reflective display; Partially wobbly case; Dust prone surfaces; Only Fast Ethernet port

The additional software that Lenovo includes with the G770 notebook (EE Boot Optimizer, VeriFace), should be included with all notebooks as standard

Wonderful deal for a high quality spec machine.

Despite the speakers, I use external speakers plugged in and the quality ends up being very very good, the keyboard is a big selling feature and I can't believe the power of this beautiful laptop for the incredible price. 100% satisfied.

Great keyboard, i5 processor, great screen quality, overall, nothing out there right now can even compare to what you get for the price

speakers kinda suck

Fragile - don't buy

I have four laptops ... Dell, Acer, Toshiba, and this recently purchased Lenovo. I will never buy another Lenovo device. The laptop crashed within a few weeks of purchase, and the customer "service" folks at Lenovo have really lousy warrany service. I...

Great product, But a few REALLY ANNOYING design issues

I would actually recommend this laptop to those who want a system they can use for gaming and watching movies expecially on bluray. My cons are minimal and just things that personally annoy me.

I bought this laptop because I loved the dedicated graphics player as well as the bluray player. I use my computer mostly for playing video games and watching bluray movies and the computer has definitely been all I wanted in these aspects and more....

My cons are very small but very annoying. First, everytime i turn of my computer but keep the power cord plugged in I hear this obnoxious high pitched buzzing comming from the AC to DC converter on the power cord that will not stop until I unplug it....

8-Month Product Review

I've had this computer for 8 months now, and put it through its paces both for student work and multimedia use. I usually have it up and running 6-10 hours a day, almost always with five or more windows open at a time. My computer budget was very small...

Very nice

A few people made comments about the video card. For me its a non-issue. The graphics are great. If you're running a game thats a serious resource hog than you may want to do a little research. Personally I think its a great machine and well worth the...

Nice display, plenty of power, fast and the Win7 is great. Super fast boot-up, plenty of RAM, and runs really quite and COOL. The only thing missing for us is a slot for Compact Flash cards but it reads all the others (and I knew that when I bought...

Some bloatware but not enough to be a nuisance. Easy enough to remove

Lenovo G770 Notebook

Great laptop with Intel I5-2450M processor and low sales price. I like the big 17.3" screen for watching movie, and yet not too heavy to carry around. Nice keybard layout, good quality webcam images and videos. Been using it for 2 wks and very satisfied.

Amazing laptop for a better price

I actually bought this laptop refurbished around mid-February. It might as well have been brand new.
