All in all the hardware demands are more or less on the same level as the aforementioned Frostbite 2 competitors. It is a shame that it can occasionally come to annoying performance fluctuations regardless of the adopted hardware. Even luxury GPUs,...

Review Lenovo G780 Notebook

 

Wasted potential. Lenovo releases a multimedia laptop for just under 770 Euros (~$982) dubbed IdeaPad G780 (M843MGE). The case is the same as in the prior G770 range. Theoretically, the G780 sports strong components but practically, the potent hardware...

Wide and big screen, Huge Space of 1 TB and 8 GB ram for great performance

Design can be improved and I felt it to be little delicate and should be tough than it is now

Lenovo G780 M84ADUK

 

Really really impressed with the laptop, its fast its battery lasts a decent amount of time and its design is lovely to look at!

The only bad point i have found so far is that the mouse on the laptop can sometimes go a bit crazy and is sometimes difficult to control.

Lenovo Essential G780-M848LUK

 

So quiet, well designed, pretty straight forward, seem to get a lot for the cash paid.

Its not really a bad point but windoes 8 took some getting used to, its also a shame the body isn't metal.
