This week Newegg is featuring the Lenovo G530 4151A2U for $399. This basic laptop has 15.6-inch widescreen, 3GB of RAM, and a 160GB hard drive. You can burn media with the DVD burner/rewriter and get internet through the WLAN. The onboard Intel GMA 4500M graphics is great for internet surfing, multitasking, and office applications. Battery ranges from 4 to 4.5 hours. You won’t be buying the G530 4151A2U for playing high def movies or gaming, just everyday basic computing.

Newegg User Opinions
The Lenovo G530 4151A2U currently has a 4 egg rating with 19 reviews at Newegg. Most users are happy with this basic machine. Build quality seems to be better than similarly priced laptops. Windows 7 runs at a fair speed, the WLAN works fast, and the webcam works ok. In order to properly speed things up you’ll have to remove the Lenovo unneeded bloatware. On the negative side the machine doesn’t have a media reader, doesn’t have the faster wireless N, and only has 2 USB Ports. For $399 you get what you pay for.

Here’s a couple user opinions:

• “This was a decent computer and I got it at a steal of a price during a special. It was very fast after I tweaked it out and took off the Lenovo software. Actually, it was a lot faster than I expected it to be especially for a processor with 1024 of L2 cache. Runs very cool and very responsive.”

• “The wireless range on this computer is incredible. I love windows 7 – Vista was a unusable dog. This maching is FAST. I bought this laptop for my Mom who just needed a basic laptop. This is a great machine for surfing the web, using office, etc. It has enough power to that I can even run Adobe CS4 to build websites. Solid construction, great touch pad. Love it.”

• “These are awesome machines!!, I am a computer retailer, I buy and sell, refurbished systems, I have bought many Lenovo T-60′s series machines that have an unbelievable success rate. no problems all Joy!! These I know are killer machines!!”
