Display and Build
The Lenovo G500 (59-412737) sports a 15.6-inch HD LED backlit display that exhibits pictures and videos at a resolution of 1,366 x 768 pixels. It is wrapped in an all black outfit which has a thickness of 25.8 mm and a weight of 2.5kg.
Processor and OS
At the heart of the laptop you can find a 2nd generation Intel Pentium Dual Core 2020M processor with a clock speed of 1.5GHz. The CPU works in combination with a mere 2GB DDR3 RAM which is common in such low priced devices. In case you want to experience better response, you can use the 2 DIMM slots for expanding the RAM's capacity up to 8GB.
Due to the absence of any external graphics card, it relies on inbuilt Intel HD GPU for managing rich videos and games. It runs on the latest 64 bit Windows 8.1 OS right out of the box.
Camera, Storage and Multimedia
The Lenovo G500 (59-412737) also impresses with its webcam which has a resolution of 720p. However, the main thing that will take you by surprise is the massive 1TB hard disk which is hardly seen in many higher priced notebooks. It even has a DVD RW Drive for transferring data through disks. The stereo speakers are powered by Dolby Advanced Audio to give you theatre like experience.
Battery and Connectivity
With a 6 cell Li-ion battery, the Lenovo G500 (59-412737) can run continuously for up to 3 hours. The connectivity and networking package includes Ethernet port, Bluetooth v4.0, WLAN, 2 USB 3.0 slots, 1 USB 2.0 port, digital media reader, HDMI out and VGA port.
