Visually, the G50 doesn’t stray from the typical look we’ve come to expect from Lenovo. The internal components are solid and while the notebook isn’t what we’d call a highlight, it’s a very decent package overall.
Lenovo’s G50-series is designed to handle all the tasks a user might encounter on a daily basis. The models in the series start at under 300 Euro(~$330), although at this price point they are equipped with hardware from AMD. Our 15.6-inch review notebook is more upscale and comes with Core i5 processor, 8 GB of RAM, and a 1TB SSHD. At the time of writing, this configuration sells for 615 Euro(~$675) . A model with half the storage and RAM sells for 15 Euro(~$16.50) less. On their website, Lenovo references other versions with Intel Core i7 CPU and BluRay optical drive, but these models weren’t available for purchase in the online store at the time of our check. The competition in the realm of entry-level notebooks such as this one is pretty extensive, so we’ll compare the review candidate to other notebooks like the Medion Akoya E6418.
