I felt like I was in the 80's when I unpackaged this, and after I got the fork lift put away, I found it to be a very nice machine, just a bit big. But it does the job. I am not sure whether its Window's 8 or the machine or both, but I consider it slow for a 6GB memory machine with a fairly high powered chip. Levono has always been my go-to brand, and it looks like they did a nice job here. I do have a problem getting used to the keyboard offset to the left to make room for the numeric keypad on the right, and the number of buttons needs a roadmap, but that is technology, making things easier by giving us more options. Screen is nice and bright, start up is slow, but again, I think that is Windows 8 and not the machine, as I have seen this on other machines. Once started, it does a good job.

I managed to get my hands on one of these laptops via financial aid at my college. The design is wonderful, very well built. The display is very nice as well. The only thing I disliked about the G505 is that it has Windows 8 out of the box. I managed to remove it and put a gnu/linux distribution on it named Crunchbang, and I believe it was the best decision one could make. This laptop is very zippy now and does everything I'd ever want. If you're considering buying this laptop, but keeping windows, don't. It runs terrible with windos 8. The cpu usage stays at 99% no matter what you're doing. Now mine runs at 1% idling. But other than the operating system, it's a lovely machine.

I recieved this with much anticipation. I had done a lot of research and benchmark research. This pc has the specs but not the performance. I believe there to be an internal voltage problem. Anytime this laptop is plugged in frame rates drop performance falls on its face and all cores clock down ( and yes energy management settings are proper.) Yet when it is on just battery power it performs as it should. I know this does not make any sense. I have spent countless hours on the phone with lenovo. i continue to get bounced around and lots of time on remote desktop reinstalling drivers time and time again. this has been an absolute nightmare with way to much time invested. If i can not get this thing returned or repaired i will surely take a loss selling it and go back to samsung again, which by the way i have a series 3 with a6-3410mx and slower ram that benchmarks much lower but has the same frame rates in games. and runs its advertised clocks. If anyone else finds this problem or a way to remedy it let me know and i will change my review. I recently purchased my first two lenovos and quite possibly my last,
