75% Lenovo E50-80 Notebook Review | Notebookcheck
Business made affordable. Among professional users, Lenovo have built up a good reputation with their solid ThinkPad-line. The E-series consists of affordable business notebooks, but lacks the premium name. Is the series truly an affordable alternative?

 

Lenovo E50-80-80J201X4GE

The Lenovo E50-80-80J201X4GE is a laptop for business users who are looking to do work when they are on-the-go. The stable chassis is made from matte black plastic. The Microsoft Windows 7 Professional 64-bit system uses 2.2 GHz Intel Core i5-5200U processor, an Intel HD Graphics 5500 graphic card, 4 GB DDR3 PC3-12800 RAM and a 500 GB Momentus Thin hard disk from Seagate. Its 15.6-inch TN LED display features an HD resolution (1366 x 768 pixels) and a matte finish. Due to the latter, the laptop can be used in bright environments such as outdoor. However, the viewing angles are limited since it is a TN-type. The keyboard is decent and easy to type on and the touchpad is reliable, precise, and responsive and supports multi-touch gestures without delay. For connectivity, the laptop includes two USB 3.0/3.1 Gen 1 ports, a USB 2.0 port, an HDMI port, a VGA port, an audio combo jack, an SD card reader, a OneLink docking port and even a DVD drive. The 2.3 kg system achieves a battery life of up to 4:03 hours based on Wi-Fi web surfing.

Comment

Lenovo: Lenovo ("Le" from English legend, novo (Latin) for new) was founded in 1984 as a Chinese computer trading company. As of 2004, the company was the largest laptop manufacturer in China and, after acquiring IBM's PC division in 2005, the fourth largest in the world. In addition to desktops and notebooks, the company manufactures monitors, projectors, servers, etc, and specializes in developing, manufacturing and marketing consumer electronics, personal computers, software, enterprise solutions and related services.

In 2016, the company ranked first in the world in computer sales. It still held it in 2023 with about 23% global market share. Important product lines are Thinkpad, Legion and Ideapad.

In 2011, it acquired a majority stake in Medion AG, a European computer hardware manufacturer. In 2014, Motorola Mobility was purchased, which gave Lenovo a boost in the smartphone market.

71%: This rating is poor. More than three quarters of the models are rated better. That is rather not a purchase recommendation. Even if verbal ratings in this area do not sound that bad ("sufficient" or "satisfactory"), they are usually euphemisms that disguise a classification as a below-average laptop.
