Display and Design
The Lenovo G405 (59-412293) comes with a 15.6 inch HD LED display which plays videos and pictures at a resolution of 1366x768 pixels. Its 34mm thick body is bound to pose problems in terms of portability. However, it makes up for its chunkiness with its glossy black finish.
Processor and OS
At the heart of the laptop, there is an AMD Dual Core E1-2100 CPU paired with AMD A68M chipset and running at a speed of 1.4GHz. The CPU is assisted by a RAM of just 2GB functioning at 1600MHz which is justified with respect to its price. To handle highly powerful videos and games proficiently, the laptop is equipped with the AMD Radeon HD 8210 GPU. The main USP of the device is its software platform which is the recently launched Windows 8.1 OS.
