I'm looking into buying a new computer to replace my really super old one. A company called Lenovo has been running some pretty sensational deals and it looks like I'm going to be getting more bang for my buck getting one from them... currently, I'm eyeing up a Lenovo G550 with an Intel Core Duo T4300 (2.10GHz/1MB) with Windows 7, 4GB DDR3 SDRAM, 320 GB hard drive, and DVD burner.
My only question is, is Lenovo a reputable, trustworthy company producing high quality products? I've never had an experience with them before. |

IBM has outsourced all their laptops/desktop production to Lenovo if that says anything. I am sure they can make some crap on the low end, but all those newer IBM thinkpads (including the one I am now typing on) are Lenovo

Overall I haven't had any issues with Lenovo, they make decent general-use computers, I wouldn't reccommend them if you want something for gaming or high end graphics processing, but they'll do just fine for most anything else.

What Moses said. Lenovos are solid machines.

I'd probably look at grabbing a video card, then, if you're planning to play games on it. You can get a decent one cheapish now.

I don't do gaming on computers/laptops. That's what an XBOX 360 is for.

if you dont do any heavy gaming or graphics you really dont need a dual core. a single core would be more then enough and may save you some money.
