Editorial note

The Lenovo Essential G40-30 presents itself as a laptop with an interesting price-to-performance ratio, particularly suitable for professionals looking for a powerful device without breaking the bank. Its modern black design and practical format make it easily portable, which is an asset for those who are often on the move. With a 500 GB hard drive, it offers enough storage space for files, documents, and multimedia, coupled with a pleasant multimedia experience thanks to its HD front camera and stereo audio system. However, some drawbacks need to be considered. The Intel Celeron processor and 2 GB of RAM may limit performance, especially when executing demanding tasks or multitasking. Additionally, the screen resolution of 1366 x 768 pixels may seem low compared to current standards, which can affect display quality. The lack of USB 3.0 ports and Thunderbolt connectivity also limits options for fast data transfers. The battery life, although deemed acceptable at 4 hours, may not be sufficient for users on frequent trips, thus requiring regular recharges. The weight of 2100 g may be considered a bit high for a laptop, making it less convenient to carry. In summary, the Lenovo Essential G40-30 is perfectly suited for users looking for a reliable laptop for light professional use, while being aware of its limitations in terms of performance and connectivity.
