Lenovo G770 10372MU 17.3-Inch Laptop (Dark Brown) Review
I actually bought this laptop refurbished around mid-February. It might as well have been brand new.
I was looking for a sleek, comfortable laptop with high performance and a large screen. This laptop exceeded my expectations. I'll just give a quick rundown of the pros/cons
Pros:
-Brilliant screen display
-Comfortable keyboard
-Physically sturdy; the keyboard is extremely durable and feels well constructed.
-Incredible speed (I have the 6GB ram model)
-Great multitasking power. I have no problem running Firefox, Photoshop, Illustrator, iTunes, etc. at the same time.
-Minimal bloatware
-Lightweight for a 17" laptop.
-Stays cool no matter how hard you push it. Some laptops literally burn your lap from the heat they omit. However, this laptop stays extremely cool. You hardly ever hear the fan unless you are blocking it. Don't do that.
Cons:
-Laptop finish is prone to finger prints. Not a big deal, but it does take some wiping to get them clean.
-Battery life. I get about 2.5-3 hours with brightness all the way up and a few programs running at all times. This is not a big deal for me. This laptop is never more than 20 feet from a charger, however, to some, it may be noteworthy.
-Screen is somewhat reflective of light. Not that bad, but it's just a personal preference of mine to have a non-reflective screen.
Clearly, the pros outweigh the cons.
If you're looking for a solid laptop that can handle moderate gaming, design, internet browsing, etc. for an extremely low price, go with this.
