Faulty Touchpad. Read all the complaints before you decide.,
by Taweesak Opasvorarat, 2010-03-19

Oh boy... What a mistake!
Shouldn't have bought this in the first place. Totally blinded by its cheap price. Now what...
Its ALPS Touchpad is not working -- jumpy, unresponsive, frequently stopped working for no reason.
What can I do now?

Save your money. Buy Toshiba or something else.

 

Lenovo installs software, that SPAMS you and you can't remove it.,
by mao_yoshioka, 2010-03-13

You will be in the middle of working on something, and ads will pop up. Disabling the feature does not work. It's hard to find how to uninstall this and even then it comes back with a computer update. Unreal. It's been discussed about on many forums, and I've seen somewhere lenovo has been banned by US government from the government use.
[...]
It would have been a great product, but now, I will never buy anything lenovo ever again and will advise my friends to stay far far away.

 

Lenovo G550,
by David Ossont, 2010-03-12

I was a little disappointed some of the things such as blue tooth was not on the computer. I did a seach through google and filter to have blue tooth, but the limited description did not mention what was or was not on it.

 

Bad display, terrible microphone,
by Red Riding Hood, 2010-03-06

I have had this Lenovo G550 for about a week and there are some problems.

The glare from the shiny screen is intense. If there is sunlight anywhere in the room it is like looking into a mirror. Even in subdued light you can see yourself if the screen background is dark.

This is perhaps the worst microphone on any laptop sold today. It only picks up your voice if you speak within 10 inches of the keyboard. You can't really use this computer with Skype.

I had to downgrade the trackpad software to turn of the tap-click function--pain in the neck for a common setting.

And in response to some other comments, the T4400 processor is not an Intel "Core 2 Duo" product. It is a Pentium "dual-core" CPU.
I didn't realize this difference and was annoyed by the "Pentium inside" sticker.
This seems like a reasonable complaint to me, because Intel markets "Core 2 Duo" products separately from their Pentium line.

 

good so far!,
by Mike, 2010-02-06

This is a good solid computer for the price. Have had mine for about a month and quite impressed so far. The computer has a nice sized, clear screen and plenty of power to run applications and basic everyday computer needs. It has the basics for everyday computing... Little flimsy on the design but wouldn't stop me from buying it again.
