81 of 83 people found the following review helpful Excellent Entry-level Laptop!, February 26, 2011 By  Edwin Malnick - See all my reviews Amazon Verified Purchase( What's this?) This review is from: Lenovo G560 0679ALU 15.6-Inch Notebook (Personal Computers) This is a very nice entry-level laptop! I'd rate it somewhere between 4 and 5 stars - closer to 5. It has a decent processor and plenty of RAM (4 gigs) to better realize the advantages of 64-bit Windows. I may consider doubling up to 8 gigs in the future. In my mind, 4 gigs should be the minimum amount of RAM offered with machines using 64-bit OS. I bought the Lenovo G560 when the price dropped around Presidents Day - The Microsoft store briefly had it for a real steal, but sold out very quickly. Luckily, that price drop influenced other vendors such as Amazon. This review pertains to the G560 at the bargain price I paid. Had I been willing to spend more, I might've gone in a different direction. I have had this for almost a week now and these are my initial thoughts and observations, in no particular order: ** It seems solidly built, as to be expected from Lenovo. ** The surface of the lid is designed as to not collect...

Gives it a very solid feel, not cheap (though remove the stickers around the trackpad, even the windows, intel and lenovo experience ones. I feel it looks much better without it and your wrists won't get slippery whilst typing) 2) Full keyboard in a 15.6" laptop (number pad much appreciated) 3) Futureproof amount of RAM. 4) Dual core processor + Intel HD makes multitasking (even Youtube at 720P viewing) a breeze (just be sure you have Chrome installed to reap the benefits) 5) Price. Cons: 1) Glossy screen, which is unfortunate but expected nowadays 2) Function and ctrl keys are switched on these for some reason. It's a minor annoyance but worth mentioning. Also the number pad on the right is a TAD thin, but I got monster fingers and didn't have much trouble using it. A thin numberpad > no numberpad . 3) Bloatware, but this is only bothersome for...

Oh "aletheia67" (Auburn, WA) - See all my reviews    This review is from: Lenovo G560 0679ALU 15.6-Inch Notebook (Personal Computers) Few months ago, I received this laptop as a gift from my dear friend. And this is my first 64bit computer. I loved ThinkPad 570 when it came out and I used it well. I always loved IBM/Lenovo products because they make solid and reliable computers. And this is no exception. 1. OVERALL QUALITY. [BUILD] The first impression is that the notebook feels solid. It does not feel cheap. From the edges to the center of the notebook, it is built tight and solid. The black plastic does not have the "flex" issue. It is sturdy. [FAN] The fan noise is quiet; you could adjust it through BIOS setting. [PROCESSOR] Intel P6200 is plenty processing power for everyday computing. Sure i3 or i5 will be more powerful, but for an average user like me, P6200 (2 Cores, 2.11 Ghz) is more than enough processing power for MS Office, web browsing, watching online movies, etc. 2. SCREEN. The screen resolution is 1366 x 768, which is sharp and clear enough for this price range. The screen is bright...
