User Reviews for Lenovo essential G405 (59-415701) (AMD Quad Core A4/2 GB/500 GB/DOS) Laptop

For an AMD quad core and 4.5hrs battery , this is pretty good, but at Amazon this is even 3000 or 3500 less.

This is among the best laptops you can buy for the amount of money it is selling for. Don't be put off by the AMD Processor. For an average user this will make no difference. The build quality of the product is what you've come to expect from Lenovo, although if it was a little better it would be re-assuring. nnIt has 2 RAM slots and comes with only 1 slot loaded with a 2GB 1600Mhz RAM. (As I had a spare 4GB stick already, I looked all over the net but didn't find anything so wanted to mention that!)nnI added a 4GB RAM that I had from my previous latop which is non-functional now! so the laptop with 6 gigs of RAM is as smooth as it gets. nnJust to check I removed the original RAM and put a 2GB 1333Mhz Samsung RAM and the motherboard supports it just fine as well!nnThe Camera on the laptop is just namesake! If you are into Skype Calls, get a WebCam. nnThe Keyboard on this thing is great with the keys feeling sturdy and soft enough to enable fast typing.nnCurrently I am dual booting with Ubuntu & Windows 7 and both the OS's boot up within seconds. nnBattery life is also close to 4.5-5 hours which is great with the Wifi-On & Screen brightness levels on the higher side.nnAlso I got it for 18.5 k cause of a student discount offer so if you don't find it cheaper don;t blame me! :D

Laptop is good for everyday use. Battery life is excellent. But only works well with Windows 8. You will need a lot of drivers for Windows 7.

requested for return replacement as the product received was with manufacturing defect.but no response from team of flipkart in more than 30 days.

Its not best but not the bad as well. Its average product. Good for normal usage like surfing net, working on MS-Office, social media, watching movies/ videos. etc.
