Editorial note

The Lenovo Essential G50-80 is a laptop that stands out for its solid performance and generous storage capacity. Equipped with an Intel® Core™ i5-5200U processor, it offers a Turbo frequency of up to 2.7 GHz, ensuring a smooth experience even during multitasking. With 1000 GB of storage, this model is ideal for users with high demands for files and applications. However, the 15.6-inch screen with a resolution of 1366 x 768 pixels may disappoint those looking for superior display quality, especially for tasks like graphic design or watching HD content. Additionally, the hard drive speed, limited to 5400 RPM, can lead to longer loading times, thus affecting system responsiveness. The battery life, which only reaches 4 hours, may not be sufficient for extended use without access to a power source, limiting the device's portability. Weighing 2300 g, the Lenovo Essential G50-80 may seem bulky for users on the go. Despite these drawbacks, the value for money is good thanks to its features suited for everyday tasks. The extensive connectivity, including Wi-Fi 5 (802.11ac) and Bluetooth, is a plus, although the lack of USB 3.0 ports and Thunderbolt connectivity limits some data transfer options. In summary, the Lenovo Essential G50-80 is well-suited for daily use but may not meet the expectations of demanding users in terms of display and portability.
