dont be afraid of AMD products

Many of you are wondering whether to go for Intel or AMD . I'm using this AMD powered lappy, for almost a month now. its superb, nothing less than an Intel based platform, I feel its even better than intel . For your information I've been using AMD Athlon based desktop for past 7 years and its still works with the same spirit, when I first brought it. To the date, I have faced no hardware problem.

The only factor that was bugging me was, whether there is an heating problem in AMD. To clear...

Amazing product

This laptop is an awesome product that's not yet available in Lenovo showrooms. I had been tracking this model since last two weeks but its not available anywhere else (not released yet). Even the Lenovo website doesn't have much info and it says "Coming soon". Came to know that its a parallel product and is exclusively available on Flipkart.

I had done a good amount of research before deciding to buy this model G505s (s stands for slim). With the configuration it has, its the best deal arou...

For people who say, "OMG!! ITS 8GB". Others plz ignore this comment.

I bought this lap for its 8gb ram and 2.5gb graphics. NOTHING ELSE!!!
But through my experience with it, its a LENOVO laptop where they just throw the best accessories and make a big laptop than a truly "optimized" one. The laptop heats up your left palm coz that's where the processor is getting heated underneath. I hadn't bought any external fans to cool down my laptop, maybe i'll try it in future. In processing way its good and smooth considering quad core and 8gb ram. I'm actually using wi...

Great Laptop for Its Price!

If you are into video editing or regularly do heavy multi-tasking, this setup is really good for you.

The overall performance of the laptop is very good no matter its gaming, browsing, HD video editing or just for enjoying multimedia.

The design of the laptop is decent, but the edgy corners are little off for me. If you have messy and cluttered office like mine, you will end up getting minor rashes on your hands once or twice a day.

Its a comparatively very lightweight than HPs bulky lapto...

Decent with some niggles!

I recently purchased this product and i am satisfied by it.These G505s series are affected by reduced CPU speeds on AC Power.I didn't face this issue(I use Windows 7 64 bit) but i want to state a couple of nighe same niggles:
1>Many games run better when you change their graphic settings to "Power Saving" mode in AMD Vision engine program as opposed to "High Performance" mode.eg. BATMAN ARKHAM ASYLUM,NFS MW 2012,ASHES CRICKET 09 etc..
2>GTA 4 runs better when charger is plugged out rather tha...

Value for money, Lenovo only provides drivers for Win 8 bundled with the laptop

Value for money, Lenovo only provides drivers for Win 8 bundled with the laptop

For Win 7 had to download the drivers from the net. Not all work right away.

The battery does not work out of the box.

A good laptop for the price

I am surprised that this product is not available anywhere else. Initially I had a problem as the laptop is specifically made for windows 8. I found the laptop not working efficiently with windows xp. Once I installed windows 8 it started working to the expectation. I liked the quality of sound. I am a satisfied customer.
