Lenovo Laptop G530 IdeaPad

Lenovo is trying to keep up with its tradition of offering rugged machine that offers value to its users and at the same time cost less. Lenovo has been churning out a new machine labeled Lenovo G530 IdeaPad. Its a true value for money type of notepad that can offer you most of the options that a serious business user with a lot of mobility needs. However, if you decide to test it for extreme results, i think you won’t get it out of Lenovo G530 laptop.

According to PC World:

The overall experience of using the IdeaPad G530 is one of, well, using a cheap laptop. There doesn’t appear to be any sort of durability issue, but it doesn’t feel solid the way more substantial notebooks do. The screen quality suffers as soon as you move your head. The integrated speakers are functional, but you don’t want to listen to music using them. The system has a VGA output port, but no digital video output at all. The ethernet port is 10/100, not gigabit. You’re stuck with 32-bit Windows Home Basic.

It’s all too easy to focus on the negatives, though. Too easy to lose sight of the fact that, as a 15-inch, $499 notebook, it’s one of a rare breed. It’s clearly designed and built for businesses that need cheap notebooks for traveling employees and that will be functional enough for them to check their e-mail, update that spreadsheet, or pull important files off a customer’s DVD-ROM and send them back to the home office. For this market, it’s a fairly good bargain.

It’s far from a barn-burner and will obsolete itself faster than a slightly beefier and more expensive notebook, but we keep coming back to that low, low price tag and all that it implies
