Mikes10 Â Â 10 #2 Posted November 11, 2014 John Lewis sell it, most people who purchased it don't rate it: Â http://www.johnlewis.com/lenovo-g505s-laptop-amd-a10-8gb-ram-1tb-15-6-black/p1639208#tabinfo-ratings Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
willman   10 #3 Posted November 11, 2014 I have the G505 and find it extremely good, i run it alongside a Toshiba of similar standard and find it the better of the two. But then again i am just a normal user not a techie. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

Maxster   10 #5 Posted November 11, 2014 I haven't got a Lenovo laptop but I do have a tablet.  Product is good but UK Support is the worst I have ever experienced.  They outsource to a third party who struggle with everything.

arcusuniv   10 #6 Posted November 11, 2014 I do use Dell laptops for 5years now. It works fine for me. Even if I upgrade, I would stick to Dell Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
muttley_the_   10 #7 Posted November 11, 2014 Hi If I was you I would not bother it not very good  care to be a little more constructive and elaborate why not in your opinion please?  ---------- Post added 11-11-2014 at 21:48 ----------  John Lewis sell it, most people who purchased it don't rate it: http://www.johnlewis.com/lenovo-g505s-laptop-amd-a10-8gb-ram-1tb-15-6-black/p1639208#tabinfo-ratings  hmm i've read elsewhere about wifi drop out, however john lewis customers are reviewing it based on £400, i have seen it for just under £290....  i also know someone with the model and has had not one issue so am very unsure..  ---------- Post added 11-11-2014 at 21:50 ----------  I do use Dell laptops for 5years now.

Even if I upgrade, I would stick to Dell  have a very very old dell inspiron but is single core win xp generation!  could you recommend a current dell model? doesn't need a top market cpu or gfx as its just for net and microsoft office sort of programs not COD or owt daft Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
Rayman   10 #8 Posted November 12, 2014 Hi Yes I have tried a number of Lenovo laptops. notebooks. and tablets. They all are on the slow side. Feel cheap. And don't seem to hold the wifi. Lucky aim a Qvc customer and have returned them no hassle  I have used Dell for many years and you cant go wrong with a Dell Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
muttley_the_   10 #9 Posted November 12, 2014 rayman, tablets and notebooks aside, which lenovo laptops have you actually owned?  ---------- Post added 12-11-2014 at 19:22 ----------  Lenovo laptops are very good in general, I don't see them coming to my repair shop, apart from the ones with cracked screen etc, caused by an accidental damage as such... So yes, they are very good built laptops.  thanks  seem to be a very divided opinion which makes it harder i wasn't expected that!

jennie2102   10 #10 Posted November 12, 2014 i've got a lenovo g500 from john lewis for £200 with a 1TB HD. It's brilliant! Was really worried about performance based on the price but thought i'd give it a go - don't regret it for a second! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
neeeeeeeeeek   10 #11 Posted November 12, 2014 Make sure it does not have the same touch pad as the new t440. They are horrible! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
wagginfinger   10 #12 Posted November 15, 2014 a couple of years ago I bought a Lenovo from John Lewis on line------it locked me out so I could not access it----I got in touch with their helpline but they would not help me unless I bought an extended warranty (best part of £100) ----- I took it to Coles and they refunded me my money----great service from Coles ---but beware of Lenovo Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
