Editorial note

The Lenovo Essential G500H presents itself as a reliable laptop, offering adequate performance thanks to its Intel® Core™ i3-3110M processor. With a generous storage capacity of 1000 Go, it meets the needs of users with high data requirements. Its modern and sleek black design gives it a professional look, which is an asset for on-the-go use. However, some aspects may disappoint demanding users. The screen resolution of 1366 x 768 pixels may seem insufficient for those seeking superior display quality, especially for graphic work or watching movies in high definition. Additionally, with only 4 Go of RAM, multitasking can be limited, especially when running resource-intensive applications. The battery life, around 5 hours, may also pose a problem for users needing extended use without access to a power outlet. The lack of USB 3.0 ports restricts data transfer speeds with modern peripherals, which can be a drawback for some. In summary, the Lenovo Essential G500H offers good value for money with its features, although its limitations should be considered to ensure it meets the specific needs of the user.
