Lenovo G530

 

Let's start by stating the obvious: At $499 for a 15-inch budget laptop, Lenovo's IdeaPad G530 won't win any benchmark sprints. For a notebook to get into this low price range, sacrifices have to be made and corners cut. The primary concern with a...

Very inexpensive ; Good build quality

Mediocre screen

The IdeaPad G530 is functional and durable enough for an very inexpensive business laptop, but that's about it.

Lenovo G530 Review

 

The chassis is constructed entirely of plastic, but where most budget notebooks might feel flexible or flimsy, the G530 feels like a solid block of sturdy material. When talking about the palm rest on most notebooks, including ThinkPads, notebooks with...

Excellent build quality ; Good configuration for the price ; Comfortable keyboard ; Simple, let good looking design

No HDMI or eSATA

The G530 uses a Synaptics touchpad that has good sensitivity and no discernable lag during use. The surface texture is a smooth matte finish that is easy to slide a finger across even when moist. The touchpad buttons are large and positioned directly...

Lenovo G530 Notebook Review

 

Lenovo is a company that offers a wide range of notebooks. From multimedia notebooks, to gaming notebooks, to value notebooks to netbooks, Lenovo has their bases adequately covered. We've spent some time with a few of the company's prior offerings, but...

Classy Design ; Beautiful Display ; Full-size Keyboard ; Excellent Value ; 3GB of RAM ; Quiet and Cool

Gaming Performance ; Subpar Battery Life ; Annoying Lenovo Software ; Plain Inside ; Glossy Panel

In Futuremark's PCMark Vantage test suite, the Lenovo G530 performed admirably in comparison to the more powerful (and far more expensive) systems. In the 3DMark benchmark, the G530 just barely completed the test. We wouldn't expect much more from the...

Lenovo 3000 G530

 

Characteristic of Lenovo, the G530 offers unmatched build quality and a very good keyboard. But it comes with a high price tag.

Impressive build ; Very good keyboard ; Software bundle

Heavy ; Costly in comparison

The Lenovo G530 rounds up our Top 5 budget laptop category. It is a touch expensive at Rs. 39,500, but definitely consider it if a good keyboard and exceptional build quality are paramount to your laptop buying decision.

Lasted 3 years

 

I got this laptop 3 years ago and it served me well during college. After a while it started getting a bad case of WinRot, and it can now barely run basic programmes. I have to open up task manager to end any unneeded processes before I open up a new...

Simple, runs older games, good for school

Not sturdy, no 10-key, gets very hot

Reliable Budget Laptop

 

Basically everything about this laptop is on the cheap end - except for its reliability. Just want to thank Lenovo for a strong and stable budget laptop.

Look up the graphics card and processor benchmarks of any new laptop - this one competes well with those that cost $100 more at the time ; Reliable - only problem is one of the hinges kind of snapped but still works. This is with over a year of daily...

Cheap-feel chassis. Very plastic-y ; Bios defaults to a loud beep when AC plugged in - seriously what were they thinking ; Screen touches the keys and leaves smudges on the screen all of the time - I got used to it eventually

IBM still knows how to do it

 

We use this compute to drive a projector and it dose it along with 3 other heavy programs at the same time with no problem. Very clear broad casting. IBM (Lenovo) is one of the few still knows how to make a good laptop. Most companies over price for...

Built well! This thing is VERY solid and the hardware is amazing for the price. Screen is VERY bright ; Power cord is a 90 degree angle and has a nice snug snap in feel and swivels when laptop is moved. Keeping the power plug and reviver from breaking....

Place meant of touch pad will often get hit by a thumb/hand while typing until you get use to it. This can move were your typing and get annoying
