Buying a budget laptop usually involves trade-offs, and Lenovo's G50-45 is no exception. You get a relatively bright display,but the and fairly solid quad-core AMD performancedesign and keyboard leave something to be desired. The biggest trade-off is the short battery While the G50-45 is not unappealing or uncomfortable to useOn the left edge of the G50-45, you'll find a VGA port, an Ethernet port, HDMI port, a USB 2.0 port and a USB 3.0 port. The right side has a headphone/mic jack, a 2-in-1(SD/MMC) card reader, another USB 2.0 port, a DVD-RW drive and a Kensington lock slot.Measuring 15.12 x 10.43 x .98 inches and weighing in at 4.6 pounds, the G50-45 is one of the sveltest budget laptops we've seen. The Inspiron 15 5000(5.11 pounds) and the Asus X555LA(5 pounds) put more heft in your bag during transit.the Lenovo G50-45 is an affordable laptop with a bright screen and good performance for the price. However, the short battery life is disappointing, and the keyboard doesn't live up to the Lenovo brand.
