Lenovo Essential G500 ( 2.60GHz 1600MHz 3MB)

 

The Lenovo G580 is that laptop. Or at least the version of it we tested was, powered by a speedy third-gen Intel Core i5 processor. The G580 comes in several configurations, not all of which are equipped to handle these tasks as smoothly. And even our...

The Lenovo G580 provides good processing performance for the money; it boots quickly; it has a full keyboard with number pad and an optical drive; and its speakers and Webcam perform well.

The G580 is thick and heavy. Battery life is less than 4 hours. Navigating Windows 8 with the touch pad takes some practice. There was no Bluetooth in the version we reviewed.

For basics on a budget, the Lenovo G580 gets the job done. Just don't skimp on the configuration.

Consumer review (newegg.com)

some nice features for a budget laptop

 

I have this model except for a different CPU. This is a budget laptop and is not super slim or light. I like the fact that, in addition to HDMI, it has a VGA port so you can connect to an older monitor. I really like the solid power port. The typical...

Consumer review (newegg.com)

Not bad

 

I guess I read the description too fast because I thought this came with a touchscreen. Windows 8 is clunky without it, but nobody's to blame but myself. I'm amazed that the free shipping got this PC to me the day after I ordered it. GG Newegg, you're...

Quick little machine, great bang for the buck

PC itself feels a little cheap/plasticky, but can't complain for the price

Great Laptop

 

I did a lot of research and landed on this one. I'm a HP gal, so Lenovo was not familiar to me. I have to say that this is a really great buy. I wanted to return it at first for the Window's 8, but after I finally forced myself to learn it, I actually...

It's just a laptop

 

If you're looking for a good laptop this is it. I was looking for an inexpensive laptop to use in a church sound booth. We currently have two 3.5mm inputs. 1 headphone for audio in (recording) and 1 mike for audio out (video projector). So this laptop...

Junk

 

Between Windows 8 and the computer itself is total junk. Needed to do a total system reboot 3 times in 2 weeks because of unexplained failures. Returned it for a total refund.

Lenovo G500

 

Great machine, just what I wanted, but Windows 8 leaves something to be desired! Windows 8 would be great if the laptop was touchscreen.
