Pros: I needed a basic modern laptop for basic tasks; word processing, spreadsheets, web surfing, email etc. No video editing is planned nor heavy gaming. This Lenovo does all that I need with no complaints. Windows 8.1 though strange to me was easy to understand.Battery life has been good 3+ hours and still more that 1/3 left on the meter. It is really thin (1") a pleasant surprise. I likes that the documentation included instructions for several easy repair/upgrade tasks.
Cons: Too many bloatware apps, but that may be what someone needs. Internet Explorer and Bing as default choices were soon removed as was the McAffee AV. Too many updates but this is a windows machine.
Overall Review: FAST delivery!!! This was ordered on a Monday evening with free regular shipping of 5-7 working days . It arrived mid-afternoon on Thursday. That was less than 3 days. Well done Newegg.
Pros: The Lenovo G50 (80G0000VUS) is good for working on documents and browsing the internet. I did not want to spend eight hundred dollars for simple workloads. It operates at a decent speed once all the junk Lenovo preinstalled is removed. Bitdefender Internet Security 2015 does not slow it down much either. Three USB ports are available. Excellent keyboard for a notebook. An ODD is installed. Wireless works well.
Cons: Mechanical HDD is prone to fail. Never trust them with your data. All my data is in a remote virtual file server (cloud). The LCD backlight is bleeding around the edges. Most LCDs have some degree of this issue. The bezel has an ugly glossy finish. Speakers sound shoddy. Analog VGA port is useless. It has a small battery. DisplayPort would have been much more useful. Lenovo installed adware called Superfish. I purged it from the registry and directory before it had a chance to do anything.
Overall Review: I think it is a good basic system overall.
Pros: Affordable starter laptop, Great basic features,reliable name brand
Cons: none found as of yet
Pros: great when it worked.
Cons: stopped working after 2.5 months. Will not load OS. Purchased for college student. She is taking it to a local repair shop.

Pros: Very fast delivery and reasonably priced
Cons: I purchased this for home use in October of 2014 (internet browsing and photo editing). In May of 2015 the hard drive went and I sent it back to Lenovo since it was still covered under their warranty. They replaced the hard drive for free. September of 2016 the hard drive went again.
