Reviews for the Lenovo G40-80FY005BUS

50% Lenovo G40-30

Though the Lenovo G40-30's midnight-black appearance makes it blend well in corporate and other professional environments, it's a subpar performer. The G40 might be more attractive if it were a unique entry, but it's just another member of a growing pack of ultra-affordable Windows notebooks.

60% Lenovo G40

With the Lenovo G40, you get a capable 14-inch desktop-replacement laptop that will handle your basic home productivity workload without putting much of a dent in your budget. It's thin and light enough to shuttle around the house or office and will last the better part of a working day between charges, but its miserly memory configuration means you'll have to be patient while it struggles to complete multimedia tasks. Additionally, its somewhat small hard drive will likely fill up quickly if you use it to store lots of multimedia content.

There are hardly any tablets in this display size range anymore. For subnotebooks, on the other hand, it is the standard format.

The advantage of subnotebooks is that the entire laptop can be small and therefore easily portable. The smaller display also has the advantage of requiring less power, which further improves battery life and thus mobility. The disadvantage is that reading texts is more strenuous on the eyes. High resolutions are more likely to be found in standard laptops.

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.

55%: Such a poor rating is rare. There are only a few notebooks that were rated even worse. The rating websites do not give a purchase recommendation here.
