Lenovo IdeaPad G50-70
Source: Itsvet HR→EN Archive.org version
Configuration includes Intel Core i5-4210U dual-core processor (4 threads) together with 8GB of RAM and offers good performance, especially since the separate AMD Radeon R5 M230 graphics with 2GB of dedicated memory is available. Although this is an entry-level model, offers good performance for the average user who will not use the laptop only for playing the latest games. This model is a good chance to get a decent mid-range laptop for business or multimedia, but you should count on additional cost when it comes to the operating system.
Positive: Excellent performance for price range; good graphics card; good price.

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.

No weight comment found (one expected)!

72.17%: 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.
