Review Lenovo G780 Notebook | Notebookcheck
Wasted potential. Lenovo releases a multimedia laptop for just under 770 Euros (~$982) dubbed IdeaPad G780 (M843MGE). The case is the same as in the prior G770 range. Theoretically, the G780 sports strong components but practically, the potent hardware has been cropped ex-factory.

Lenovo may have left the major 17-inch laptop market but their G780 is a surprising budget offering for those wanting a larger screen which some graphics capabilities behind it. This is one of the least expensive models out there to feature NVIDIA graphics. The design is hampered though by the omission of a USB 3.0 port for external storage options. This means that buyer's will have to weight the tradeoff between graphics and storage.

Comment
NVIDIA GeForce GT 630M:
Multiple models based on various chips of the Fermi generation. Specifically, the GT 630M exists in GF108/GF106/GF116 variants, but are all essentially renamed GeForce GT 540M or 555M GPUs. A 28nm GF117 variant exists as well with reduced power consumption.
Modern games should be playable with these graphics cards at low settings and resolutions. Casual gamers may be happy with these cards.
