Editorial note

The Lenovo Essential G70-80 is a laptop that stands out for its solid performance, thanks to its Intel® Core™ i5 5th generation processor. It allows for smooth execution of daily tasks and professional applications. However, it may show its limits when using resource-intensive applications, which could disappoint some users. With a storage capacity of 1000 Go, this device offers enough space to save files, applications, and multimedia content, which is a major advantage for users with significant storage needs. On the other hand, the battery life, which reaches a maximum of 5 hours, may not be sufficient for prolonged use without access to a power source, which can be a drawback for professionals on the go. The 17.3-inch screen with a resolution of 1600 x 900 pixels is ideal for a comfortable visual experience. However, users looking for Full HD display quality or higher may be disappointed. Additionally, the weight of 2950 g can make the laptop less convenient to carry compared to other lighter models on the market. Connectivity is a strong point with Bluetooth and Wi-Fi, facilitating wireless data exchange and internet access. However, the absence of USB 3.0 ports limits data transfer speeds, which can be a disadvantage for some users. The spill-resistant keyboard is a valuable asset, providing protection against liquid-related accidents and enhancing the user experience. Finally, it is worth noting that the HDD at 5400 RPM can lead to longer loading times compared to SSDs, thus affecting the overall responsiveness of the laptop. In summary, the Lenovo Essential G70-80 proves to be a good choice for everyday use, but may not meet the expectations of users seeking extreme performance or increased portability.
