By Suzana Quick Reviews – Lenovo G560 Series Laptop
Lenovo G560, the all-new product from Lenovo’s Essential G-Series, is an ideal machine for basic and everyday computing. Coming with enhanced technology and an updated look, this feature-packed Lenovo G560 is going to be a good deal for a 15.6-inch budget class notebook computer.
The all-black chassis of Lenovo G560 has a glossy plastic-made lid. It gives a solid feel despite of its plastic construction, although it does attract dust and fingerprints sometimes. The machine features a 15.6-inch LED back-lit display with a native 1366×768 resolution. Colors are sharp, balance and outstanding, side-to-side viewing angles are also very average. The VibrantView displays let light pass through with minimal diffusion, and hence resulting in sharper contrast, clearer images and better visibility under bright light.
The machine is powered by a 2.13GHz Intel Core i3-330M professor, and comes with 4GB of memory, integrated Intel GMA HD graphics, and 320GB hard drive. Thousands of files can be stored and multitaskers can freely multitask without stressing the system. The battery life of its 6-cell Li-ion battery is slightly longer than that for most mainstream notebook computers. The battery lasts over three and a half hours, compared to the average two and a half hours for other notebook computers of its class. The new and improved Lenovo Energy Management offers not only extended battery life and long-term durability, but also keeps noise to a minimum with intelligent fan control, so you can concentrate on your work.
The Lenovo G560 incorporates technologies and features designed to make things easier, including the smart, adaptable performance of the OneKey Rescue System for easy data backup and recovery. OneKey Rescue System consists of three modules, including OneKey AntiVirus, OneKey Recovery, and System Repair.
For a budget-priced mainstream notebook computer, the Lenovo G560 offers an impressive amount of ports. Besides the requisite VGA-out and three USB 2.0 ports, included are also five-format media-card reader, ExpressCard/34, and e-SATA combo port which offers speedy connectivity to external hard drives and HDMI for connection to a HDTV. Another significant feature of this notebook computer is its full-size keyboard which features a separate numeric keypad. This is an added advantage for those who need to use the numeric keys frequently.
The Lenovo G560 has relatively long battery life and delivers above-average performance for its class at a surprisingly affordable price. You will surely be satisfied with both the amazing features offered by this versatile laptop as well as the price tag attached to it.
