Review on Lenovo IdeaPad Dual Core I3 1005G1 Bluetooth by Matt Minette

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Great price for a quality laptop

Pictured on the left is my old ASUS laptop, bought new in 2019 for $600. At right is the new Lenovo 2020 for $499. I had to replace my ASUS due to a manufacturing defect and decided I needed something bigger. Comparison of Lenovo with ASUS - Lenovo is much faster, although it has about the same characteristics as ASUS. Loading web pages, opening programs and more on Lenovo is almost instantaneous. My biggest problem with my ASUS is that it easily overheats when my screen is too bright or I overload the CPU fan and it makes an awful grinding noise. However, I have, Lenovo had no overheating issues even when launching webpages at the same time. Videos, games and programs. The keyboard keys look cheaper as they aren't backlit like on ASUS, but I generally find the keyboard much easier to see and use the number pad on the right on the Lenovo. This is a great addition as I use my laptop for both work and gaming. Indeed, the ASUS screen has better image quality as it is more of a touch glass, while the Lenovo screen is more like a traditional laptop screen. However, both touchscreens work well and I feel like I can see as many fingerprints as I would on a glass screen. Lenovo's sound quality and volume are much better, super loud for example. two laptops of completely different sizes, they weigh about the same. I also find the larger screen on Lenovo more visible since ASUS only has 13 inches. Overall, I'm pleasantly surprised at how well the laptop performs. Along with convenient delivery and careful packaging. Good guarantee conditions. It's been over a month and everything is working just as well as the first day, let's hope it stays that way!

Pros
  • Windows 10 Home in S mode
Cons
  • There are other interesting options.
