Lenovo G560 Review

The G560 has ample performance for basic use like surfing the Internet and office productivity.  The machine is powered by a Core i3 350M processor, from one of Intel's latest generation of chips. Windows 7 works very fast on this computer with super fast start up and shutdown. The integrated Intel GMA HD graphics card is also suitably powerful, so you can stream HD movies and even carry out some basic video editing.

The G560 has a 15.6-inch screen with a 720p resolution and LED backlighting; this is the only available screen. This display is still impressive, providing a great deal of detail thanks to the 1366 x 768-pixel resolution, and both colour vibrancy and brightness are excellent. Movies look great on the computer with surprisingly crisp colours and a wide contrast range. The picture quality of the display is passable at best; it has a low contrast ratio of 150:1 and lacks sharpness.

The G560 has a full-size keyboard with separate numeric keypad. The keyboard is one of the highlights of this laptop; it feels solid and is pleasing to type on.  When typing, the keys convey a clear stroke, a precise pressure point and a firm (but not hard)attack. The keys are full size and work relatively purposefully. The G560 uses a single-piece touch pad, which integrates the mouse buttons directly into the touch pad. The keys have a low stroke and give off a hollow yet cheap-sounding clicking noise.

The Lenovo G560 is a solid entry into the consumer budget laptop market. The laptop is powered by decent components and delivers performance and battery life that are above-and-beyond the average for its class. All in all, the G560 is recommendable provided you invest in an external mouse. It is one of the best on the market for its price and I would definitely recommend this to anybody as a value notebook.
