Lenovo G570 Laptop Review

The Lenovo G570 is a 15-inch laptop that features a glossy lid and a metal palm rest. Measuring 14.8-inch x 9.8-inch x 1.3-inch and weighing 5.2 pounds, the laptop provides a 2.3GHz Intel Core i5-2410M CPU, a 4GB of RAM, a 500GB 5,400-rpm hard disk drive, and an Intel Integrated HD Graphics 3000 GPU. The G570 comes with a glossy and bright 15.6-inch anti-glare widescreen display with a native resolution of 1366 x 768. Here is the verdict:

The Lenovo G570 offers a solid computing experience, but it’s not our favorite 15-inch laptop. For $749, you get a comfy typing experience, strong overall performance, and one of the fastest boot times we’ve seen on a Windows machine. However, the smudge-prone lid is a turn-off, and you don’t get USB 3.0. For about the same price, the HP Pavilion dv6t offers a more stylish metal design, discrete graphics, and Beats audio to boot. The Lenovo G570 is worth a look, but you can do better.
