Reviews of Lenovo IdeaPad G505s Laptop

Virtues

  • Pretty powerful - built-in AMD Radeon HD 8650G assembly based on A10 5750M 4 core processor - 8g RAM. Win 7 X64 is not particularly heated, quiet. Looks stylish. A small power supply. There is nothing superfluous.

disadvantages

  • slightly flimsy cd-rom but not critical. Thin laptop requires careful handling

Comment
Performance dropped while charging the battery. In games, the FPS sagged. The updated bios problem disappeared.

P.S. - bios can be downloaded from the manufacturer's website Lenovo
installed is very simple.

1. Locate the file 83CN35WW.exe
2. Double-click the exe 83CN35WW icon.
3. Click Install.
4. Click Flash BIOS.
5. Press Enter to start the installation. In the process, it is not recommended to turn off the computer.
6. When the update is complete, the computer will automatically restart for the changes to take effect.

Virtues

  • Model 20255
  • A10 processor
  • 8570M video
  • 8GB RAM
  • Hard 1TB
  • Without OS
  • PRICE Took on the stock for 16300-JUST FREE
  • For the price just class
  • Dolby sound advanced audio v.2
  • Thin

disadvantages

  • Lyuftit side cover DVD drive, bending the central part of the keyboard when typing.
  • But the main point that is constantly annoying is that the body and this luvty and DVD cover will quickly blurt out. Ie, there are very large pritenzy and there is no to it. When charging from the network, brakes appeared (read comments)

Comment
Installed Windows 7 64 bit. I downloaded and installed all the drivers from the official site, everyone got up without a leak. When buying, there was Bios 2.3. With it, with a simple processor load reached 40-50 percent, and when running from the network, everything slowed down. I read that when Bios is updated, these problems go away, BUT officially the new version of Bios 2.5 is ONLY for Windowds 8. In short, I tried to install it on my Windows 7 64 bit, and about a miracle, everything went fine and all the above problems were gone. so I advise you to safely install Bios 2.5 on windows 7. After that, I checked the performance index (I had to measure it by the way before updating the BIOS) -
6.1 processor
Memory 7.2
Graphics-6.7
Graphics for games-6.7
Hard Drive 5.9

General grade 5.9
If you put the SSD then the total index will be higher.
So it is a VERY decent result for a budget laptop.

Virtues

  • Speed, draws EVERYTHING (recently launched COD Advanced Warfare, there is no talk of Photoshop work there. It is clear that at maximum settings it will slow down, but for such a price ...)
  • Price
  • Thin

disadvantages

  • In games it is heated, I had to buy a stand with a fan, during normal operation everything is fine
  • 4 hours of battery life during operation is from the area of ​​the unreal, although with minimum brightness and full energy saving, it will work as much as a powerful processor. So you can take it with you, but expect 3-3.5 hours

Comment
Took the maximum (if not mistaken) configuration in the online store
Lenovo IdeaPad G505s (A10 5750M 2500 Mhz / 15.6 / 1366x768 / 8.0Gb / 1000Gb / DVD-RW / AMD Radeon HD 8650G / Wi-Fi / Bluetooth / Win 8 64)
and did not regret, especially since 23990
So far nothing has broken =) The assembly is normal, nothing falls off, it bends slightly around the drive, but this is normal. The keyboard also flexes a little when typing, but it's even nice, at least the printing speed has suddenly increased (can this be due to the size or position of the keys?)
Very pleased that the activation of the add. Functions on f1-f12 do not need to clamp fn like on many laptops, it is terribly convenient. Do not like it, you can disable it in the BIOS.

Windows 8. First I turned on, I thought well, and the brake. But after installing all the updates from the update center (a few gigabytes by the way), it started to fly, it just changed. Put the classic start menu, there was a start from Win 7. I updated the wifi driver from lenovo.com, the speed has become more stable, can someone help.

In general, the laptop is great, you only need to spend an hour setting up and downloading updates.

Virtues

  • It looks very good in appearance - obviously more than it costs. Strict and neat.
  • I have the simplest equipment: A8 4500M 1900 Mhz / 15.6 / 1366x768 / 4Gb / 500Gb / DVD-RW / AMD Radeon HD 7640G / Wi-Fi / Bluetooth / DOS. In one of the electronics stores with a red name))), with the letter M bought for 2 thousand Win-8 pro. In short, for ridiculous money, it turned out to be a very worthy gift (I bought it to my brother, who is not a computer guru - the need is nothing more than: Internet + office + multimedia)
  • Full keyboard with numeric keypad.
  • Very unusual, but obviously inspiring confidence power connector: rectangular !!! Judging by the type of breaking / not going there - it’s unrealistic.
  • The screen is normal. But I like it more than my HP.
  • Very easy access to memory and HDD - three screws.
  • Well, in terms of performance. I do not understand the bias towards AMD. Everything is fast. And the launch, and work in all normal programs. I understand that if you play outrageous games or draw crazy 3D, then it will clearly deflate. But in civilian loads, 99 users out of 100 will be enough for him !!!

disadvantages

  • Heavy. Maybe it's just a feeling, but it is clearly heavier than usual.
  • Tiny battery. Most likely the autonomy will be none.

Comment
So it turns out that through my hands often pass different laptops. There is another similar laptop with A8 from HP, which is Sleekbook. Very similar in characteristics. Only in HP two charts. For the money that is asked for them - this is a very good purchase !!!
Indices for those who are interested:
5.7
7.3
6.5
6.16.95.9
5.7
5.7
5.9

Virtues

  • Keyboard: after 2 weeks of operation, accidentally turned over a cup (200 ml) of brewed coffee. Not a drop hit the motherboard. After drying, the remnants of ground coffee were removed by a compressor. All keys work. The panel is made in such a way that the keyboard is soldered to the top panel, and closes the entire laptop.

disadvantages

  • I am heated. Solved the problem by flashing the BIOS. Also part of the vents in the bottom cover were covered with foil from the inside. That is, they are present in plastic, and from the inside, most of them are closed. I decided to cut them with a stationery knife.

Comment
Normal laptop for 19,500 thousand.

Virtues

  • price

disadvantages

  • after the firmware no BIOS

Comment
There was a problem, he just cut down and slowed down in all applications, was cut down even when watching low-quality video.
I was shocked because the previous laptop burned out and I urgently needed a replacement and I didn’t have to return the return procedure, but I decided to read the reviews and realized that things are bad, no one has fixed the problem then I decided to rummage on the manufacturer’s website and found the BIOS update There is on the manufacturer’s website in the support and drivers section, you download and just install like any other program, everything takes about a minute and happens automatically, during installation the laptop restarts and you get a car for which latili bask stop and frustration will take place as it had appeared.
The machine is nimble.
