This review is from: Lenovo G575 43834WU 15.6-Inch Laptop (Black Textured) (Personal Computers)
Fry’s had this on sale today, the 2GB version for $249. I picked one up since my X61 was getting temperamental.
I figured for $249, how bad could it be? Well…with Windows 7 (and I’m a Mac guy as a rule) the computer is just fine for general use. Quick enough loading web pages, and, unlike the usual assortment of crapware that most computers come pre-loaded with? Office Starter (Word and Exel) for free!
I’m just a happy little guy-I would have easily spent more on a used computer, not had the most current OS, not had the upgradability (I bet when I move this to 8GB of ram it will fly!) and really, for my purposes I think this was a great buy! Highly recommend. .

I’m like the other two reviewers, I got this at Frys for $249. For the money, I’m surprised at how fast it is. It’s super light and the screen is crisp & clear. I didn’t want to spend alot of money on a laptop, because as fast as technology goes this will be outdated within a couple months. But it’s perfect for me for light use and I would highly recommend it!

Was waiting for a price drop on this unit on Amazon but finally saw it at Fry’s for $249. I just need a basic simple Laptop for surfing web, MS Word and email and this works great for what I need to do. I dont expect amazing performance at this price, but it works better than I expected. Nice sized screen, easy touch keyboard, super quite fan ( I never hear it kick on and off like my old one), runs amazingly cool even when sitting on a bed or couch, fast when im online. I even ran some CAD/CAM programs that ran almost as well as my work system, the graphics card seems to handle 3D CAD/CAM fine as well as Photoshop, although the monitor might not be up to displaying super fine photo-editing qualities… it’s a nice screen, just not near as good as higher end units. Build quality is good, but nothing fancy. Not a designer Laptop, just a good all around basic unit that exactly fits my needs. Im very happy with this computer.
Update: I installed an extra 4 MB of memory, for a total of 6 MB, noticed no real performance increase at all. Glad it was only $20, but install went smooth, no issues installing additional Crucible brand memory
