User Reviews for Lenovo essential G510 (59-398452) (Core i5 4th Gen/4 GB/500 GB/Windows 8) Laptop

I bought this product from a retail shop as I my last laptop broke down and I needed one that day itself. The laptop is simply amazing. The big screen gives it quite a nice feeling. Having dolby digital sound, it is a good experience for movies and songs as well. Although I am yet to play a game on the system, a 2GB dedicated RAM should provide a good experience. It has a few features which I liked very much such as: 1) Dedicated keys for changing windows, closing and refreshing selected window, and for disabling the touchpad which sometimes can create issues while typing and getting touched inadvertently. 2) Increase in fan speed momentarily to blow out dust particles 3) Limiting charging to 60% if set so which increases the battery life as compared to when it is connected to continuous power when it is already at 100% Cons: 1) Its a bit heavy 2) Windows 8 may be a pain sometimes which may be overcome by downloading 8.1 3) Only 3 USB slots. 1 more would have helped. 4) Should have provided a lock when the screen panel is down which ensures the two panels stay together. Overall its a great product.

I bought this laptop from the local retailer at the same price its really a very good laptop with the latest configurations in market. Pros: 1) Great processor: Intel core i5(4200M) clocked at 2.5 Ghz but it overclocks itself to 3.0 Ghz double core and 3.1Ghz on single core usage. 2) Low power consuming RAM: 4GB DDR3L which consumes 30% less power than DDR3 RAMs so battery life increases considerably. And the RAM is expandable upto 16GB which means your laptop is fully future proof. 3) Battery life is awesome gives 4 hrs of battery backup on continuous use. Awesome. 4) Boots windows 8 in just 10secs trust me really awesome. This shows how powerful it is. 5) No heating issue at all. The fan works so silent that you hardly hear any sound from fan. 6) Trust of quality from LENOVO. Top ranked IT company in world. The Thinkpads of LENOVO are used in space by NASA(no other laptop). 7) Laptop is fully future proof as you can upgrade your processor to i7 and RAM to 16GB. 8) It has capable GPU Radeon 8570M is GOOD BUT IT CAN HANDLE LATEST GAMES AT MEDIUM/HIGH SETTING. AND ITS FAR FAR BETTER THAN OTHER LAPTOPS GPUs. CONs: 1) come on what else do want in 40K INR.

I bought this product from a retail store for INR 39000. I have been using it for over a month now and i have to say that i am completely satisfied with the product and think that lenovo have done an outstanding job (given the price of the laptop). I play a bit of Dota 2, Counter-stike, COD 4 and blur and all i can say is i never encountered any lags or problems due to this laptop. Pros :- 1. No heat at all!!.. my roommates have HP laptops.. and the heat from that is INSANE!!. Lenovo G510 however produces no heat at all. 2. 4- 4.5 hrs battery life on normal usage and 2 hours on High performance. 3. 4GB RAM feels like a 16GB one, extremely fast, booting up take hardly 25 sec. 4. The lenovo apps which come with this are super cool! There is a dust removal app, which clears all the dust from the hardware. An energy manager, and much much more. 5. Windows 8 is quite irritating in the initial days. In 3-4 days, once you have gotten used to it, you shall find it equivalent to Windows 7. 6. The speakers are great, Better than Dell 15R (INR 65,000) and HP pavilion (INR 63000) Cons:- 1. (i am being a bit of a scrutineer on this one) The mouse pad button is not that comfortable, but using it for 2- 3 hours one will get used to it. 2. Only 2 USB 3.0 and 1 USB 2.0. 3. The CD-ROM is a bit flimsy. 4. Some might find this a heavy laptop, but seriously i would prefer this one over an oven (HP laptops). All in all it is a masterpiece, anyone not willing to spend 50k+, wanting a decent gaming laptop, a long battery life, and a long lasting laptop.. THIS IS THE ONE!!!

Really liked the product.. writing this review after using it for 4 months.. Specs are really good and worth for this amount !! As usual flipkart delivered in less than promised time..

This Laptop is one of its kind but there is one minor problem with the GPU inside. If you want to run GTA 5 on this . it lags on Minimum settings . Which is not good . Same with NFS Mw 2012 ... You can play gta 4 like a charm.
