Lenovo IdeaPad G50-70 Notebook Review

 

A good idea? Lenovo want their IdeaPad G50-70 to be a tempting, low-cost notebook with at least basic gaming power. Equipped with a dedicated graphics card, our test device certainly could be just that. But is the Radeon R5 230M the right graphics card...

Respectable keyboard, Attractively designed case, Long battery life, Good variety of connections overall, Easy maintenance, Good performance in normal use, Quiet, Reasonably good speakers, The attractively designed case, though it could be a little...

Highly reflective display, Resolution could be higher, Severe blue cast, Almost no gaming performance, Only a combined microphone/headphone jack, High temperatures under full load, What happened to the other USB 3.0 port

Two for Two

 

- In conclusion: The Lenovo G50-70 is a respectable bang-for-the-buck PC; good for college or school students or home users that don't want to spend too much but want a PC with enough chops to do most any basic/mediate tasks-except for gaming or...

I've purchased two of these at different times for clients. The second time I purchased it for a client was based on my good experience with the first time. My first client has nothing but good to say about the PC and I spent enough time with both to...

The screen bezel is a little thicker than it should be. Nowadays bezels are shrinking more and more, mostly on IPS panels which this is obviously not, but the G50's aesthetics are slightly hurt by the thick bezels. Speaking of the screen; though not...

Good card, Great value, better than Xfired 270Xs.

 

I really question how they fit so much laptop into this price range. The HDD is quite slow (like most) so I would recommend picking up an SSD if this will be your daily driver.

Great specs for the price ; Long battery life for basic tasks

The left mouse button wore out quckly. It still works but is a definite difference from the less-used right button

NOTHING BETTER IN THE PRICE RANGE

 

I bought the barebones version of this in hopes to upgrade the HDD, the RAM, and the processor with laptop parts I was able to get my hands on. The HDD and RAM were a breeze, I bought an WD BLACK2 Dual Drive (which I highly highly recommend) and...

For the price, nothing compares. Great looking design, very sleek. With new HDD and RAM this machine screams, more on this later. Very good screen for a laptop, good contrast and low glare even from weird angles, which is where most laptops don't...

All the left side ports (USB 3.0, USB 2.0, HDMI, Ethernet, VGA ports are pretty crammed together, making it hard to occupy many ports simultaneously, especially the 2 USB ports, luckily there is a third USB 2.0 on the right side ; Battery life is...

Great, Inexpensive Laptop

 

I am deployed to the desert and my laptop met a violent end. I got this one, oriignally as a temporary replacement. I would just get something "better" when I got home and give it to my mom or something. After using it for a few weeks, I think I'll...

Light, quick, everyday laptop. Handles normal tasks like web browsing and video or music playback with no issues. 6GB vs 4GB for RAM keeps windows from bogging down

None that I can think of. 500GB hard drive is small, but for less than $375, totally expected. Manage your expectations - this is not a gaming laptop
