Lenovo G560 06793JU 15.6-Inch Laptop (Grey/Black) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I live in Costa Rica and ordered a Lenovo computer after several good recommendations from friends. I am a programmer and my main concern was CPU speed and amount of RAM memory. This computer works smooth after uninstalling all the bundled software that comes with it, including the face recognition software. The trackpad is very good, I personally like it, but I guess it is a matter of taste.
Pros
* very fast computer
* incredibly fast startup and shutdown
* good for CPU intensive apps and full screen videos
* very elegant design
* keyboard of very high quality
* glossy screen looks beautiful, with bright colors
* very thin and light for its size and price
Cons
* exaggerated amount of pre-installed software (reason why I give it a 4-star rating and not 5). After uninstalling, I recommend making backup DVDs...
It is a pity that Lenovo installs that amount of software in a computer. It should be an option, at the first time of use. Otherwise, a great computer. Highly recommend it if you don't mind spending at least 1 hour uninstalling all the crap... For my part, for $699 (bought at Amazon on Marco 2010), I like this computer very much...
