[jollysouse]

[jollysouse]

[jamesrschultz]

@HP100ify Why not? Only the OS sets itself up, not the BIOS.

[480hiphop]

yap...made in China..



[markkloplepol]

Y do u hate "stupid" amd so much? Lol

[jamesrschultz]

@markkloplepol Because I had tons of problems with my AMD based HP Pavilion.

[TheCrazycoolhacker]

HEllo....NIcE viDEo.........

but can this laptop have graphic card........????answer soon

[jamesrschultz]

@TheCrazycoolhacker Nope, only the integrated card it comes with will work in this machine.

[spirit0destroyer]

as I can see this video is uploaded 2009.Can you let me know is your G550 still working well?

[jamesrschultz]

@spirit0destroyer Still working great!

[PWNTHEOWNER48]

@jamesrschltz Whats the computer screen size 15,15.6,16?

[jamesrschultz]

@PWNTHEOWNER48 I have sold this machine, but I believe it was 15.6.

[PWNTHEOWNER48]

If someone could mesage me about more info on this computer please do im thinking about buying one for $423.($23 plus s&h)

[jamesrschultz]

@PWNTHEOWNER48 It's a good machine, but not the fastest option anymore. Core 2 Duos are dying quickly. It'll be okay for lighter work though.

[PWNTHEOWNER48]

@jamesrschultz But for a first time laptop buyer good?

[jamesrschultz]

@PWNTHEOWNER48 Yeah, that'd be fine.

[PWNTHEOWNER48]

@jamesrschultz Cool thanks.

[LOLAG3S]

nothing wrong with acer either.

[LOLAG3S]

theres nothing wrong with amd. stop saying there is!

[someonelookingout]

Hey presuming you still have it how is it working now after you first got it, and if it stopped working how long did it take to break down? I'm thinking of buying one of these but I want some user opinions.

[jamesrschultz]

@someonelookingout I sold it last fall because I got a Mac. It lasted perfectly for me, and my friend who still has it uses it every day and it's like new, he loves it!

[Crying8Angel8]

My G550 didn't even reach it's 2 years warranty.. it's already broken!!! Ugh

[toshiba775]

Stupid Lenovo! HP is WWWWWWWWWWWWWAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA­AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAYYYYYYY­YYYYYYYY better than Lenovo!!!!!!!!!!

[volure1]

Of course it degrade a bit i don't care to much now.

[volure1]

I just boughten this today for 508.58 cents.

[DarkUserRo]

I'll get the same laptop but it's named G550L and has 2.3ghz :)

[wwjoshdew]

9:02 That took me a minute to get used to! Now when I use my wifes laptop, I always hit FN instead of ctrl because NORMALLY FN is after CTRL. But not Lenovo! #LOL I have a G550 and I LOVE IT! I cleaned my fan (it was bad, but probably not that bad) and made a video of me doing it. If your interested, click on my channel.

[samib21]

is this laptop from IBM ?

as we know all lenovo's machines are from IBM but on this one i could find any logo of ibm on it .

[jamesrschultz]

@samib21 This is Lenovo. Lenovo bought IBM's laptops and desktops in 2005.

[112Clarkey112]

[korejo1071992]

Hello I'm Asjad Korejo from Pakistan. I got this laptop 2 weeks ago, loving it, especially its battery timing. Its also supports all the games of my choice. Lovely Machine!!

[dwh193]

Loved this video. Good Job. I currently have a Dell Inspiron B130 and I've had it for about 6 1/2 years and its slower than snails in peanut butter. I really like what Lenovo G550 offers and it seems to be awesome. Have you experienced any draw-backs from it, any major problems? If not, this will soon be my new computer for my Sophmore year in college.

Thanks,

Dane.

[jamesrschultz]

@dwh193 My G550 is for sale, and I highly recommend it.

[djbrandenburg]

@jamesrschultz

For sale? How much do you want for it?

[jamesrschultz]

@djbrandenburg I'd like $475 for it as it is the highest spec model.

[djbrandenburg]

@jamesrschultz

If it's still in good condition, I'll take it. I can pay once my current laptop is sold. That's actually perfect, lol. I'm selling this for $500

[jamesrschultz]

@djbrandenburg It's in great condition, I rarely used it. Let me know when/if you'd like it. I have everything that came with it, the disks, and the box. I accept paypal.

[djbrandenburg]

@jamesrschultz

I'll keep that in mind once I sell my laptop, thank you sir.

[siemka321]

Intel mobile kinda sucks. I played counter-strike 1.6 and when i turn on my nightvision my game plays in 15-20 fps.

[fatecguaratingueta]

14' ou 15"??

[jamesrschultz]

@fatecguaratingueta 15 inch.

[barbiedoll903]

im thinking of getting this but i dont know :S

[jamesrschultz]

@barbiedoll903 Mine is for sale for $475, but I will miss it. I am only selling it after a month of use because I got a MacBook Pro.

[countroshculla]

Good video of the unboxing. I got this laptop 7 days ago. Loving using it.

[countroshculla]

Cool. Great unboxing. I bought the G550, with slightly different specs, 5 days ago and I love it.

[gta4zockerforlive232]

I have this notebok and it has BLUETOOTH

[brokenthorn15]

Centrino is the line of Intel mobile processors. Ie. it's a Centrino Core 2 Duo. :)

[vammenopeplo]

does it have bluetooth?

[jamesrschultz]

@vammenopeplo No

[brokenthorn15]

@vammenopeplo Some new models have BT. I just ordered one for someone at work. Comes in on Tuesday.

[arkaofficial]

hey just a really quick question man ... did this lenovo come with any CDs like urm Operating system backup ... etc, etc ? Coz im planning to get one of these but if it dont come with backup CDs then once you get a virus you cant really like reinstall the OS in the laptop ... so im jus a bit concerned, reply back asap please :) thankyouu

[RyanKnowsTech]

@arkaofficial No, it comes with a partition on the hard drive that has all the backup stuff on it.

[arkaofficial]

@RyanKnowsTech Ohh right ... so like it is possible to re-install the OS in this laptop if there is a problem right ? ... Why did they have to make it different though ? all other laptops come with a recovery CD, tht is much easier aint it ? :S

[RyanKnowsTech]

@arkaofficial Hmm, you have to make your own operating system backup. I think they go with the extra partition because it's easier and cheaper for them not to have to work with DVDs.

[arkaofficial]

@RyanKnowsTech ohhh right okayy kewl (Y) thanks for answering the questions btw. cheerz

[urAHypocryt]

did you say 97c shippin?

how old is this video? :L

[jamesrschultz]

@urAHypocryt Still 97c at WalMart.

[smellytoilet1996]

Thinkpads are a lot better

[jamesrschultz]

@smellytoilet1996 Thanks, I have three. Z T and X series.

[smellytoilet1996]

Oh,sorry.Lucky you.And wich one of those do you have?

I'm going to have one of those soon.

But,I'd still choose one of the Thinkpads.

[jamesrschultz]

@jamesrschultz X20, T42 and Z61t.

[anderoo22]

you should do a review of a cooling stand vs that air hockey table :P

[DavidofThe]

I know they're not exactly related, but I own a Thinpad X60s, and its the best laptop I've ever used.

[LOLitsJono]

I need a laptop for business use, and I've always admired Lenovo's inherent quality that seems to come from the original IBM's. I've not yet owned either brand but I am shopping around. I did consider a MBP but everyone has one of those and it's not exactly good value for the money, I want something that's sleek, conservative, has features I want (like thumbprint security/webcam) and has to have power. Lenovo seems to be a good choice but i'm not exactly familiar with their series

[smellytoilet1996]

Choose one of the Thinpads

[WindowsWithUs]

good video this friday im getting new laptop my limits 500 im stcuk between this gateway nv53 and the acer aspir 5532

[jamesrschultz]

Thanks, let me just put in that I hate Acer and Gateway.. the quality is deplorable. Lenovo build FTW.

[poskyflyer]

this isnt the G550 gulfstream:(

[zoom26]

well funny thing is it could be the motherboard, i have a similar laptop and a similar gpu. the hp pav dv6405us with a nvidia 6150 gpu. it had a deffective motherboard that hp refused and still refuses to replace for free. how mcuh you sold yours?

[jamesrschultz]

I got $400 for mine.

[zoom26]

the gpu on your hp pav dv9----?

[jamesrschultz]

Some cheaper Nvidia card... 7150m or 6130m or something.

[zoom26]

messed up? how?

[jamesrschultz]

What's messed up?

[zoom26]

what happend to your hp pav? it gave out?

[jamesrschultz]

Sold it- Graphics card was messed up.

[buckwheat40]

@jamesrschultz why didnt you contact lenovo to fix it idiot

[jamesrschultz]

Idiot, that was the HP Pavilion, not the Lenovo. Warrenty was out anyways- the didn't care.

[BleachTheGuy]

Oh damn... i'll have to buy another one... Thanks =D

[OshriProductions]

Does GTA IV runs on this computer?

cause im going to buy the same computer...

[jamesrschultz]

Idk, I'm not a gamer.

[spanic009]

@OshriProductions It shouldnt, its a business comp and if it does then it will lag fo sho

[zeosrule]

i got the same laptop today at fry's electronics for 499.99

[xeroxboy2009]

i bought the lenovo G550 a few months ago and i find it reall awesome. Its exellent for gaming,surfing the net and almost evrything u could do with a high performance PC.

I love it loads!!

[ForTheFS]

lol its ok dont worry

[ForTheFS]

hey buddy nice vid. can this run mw2, left4dead and arma/arma2

[RyanTechCores]

I have no idea, I'm not a gamer at all.

[lucky88shp]

Probably left4dead at about medium settings and mw2 at probably low, Arma 2...i dont think so wud b a good idea to play on this bcoz i believe it wud b really choppy.

[techguy1995]

I just bought a laptop $400 au

Emachines(aka acer budget line) 525

2.2ghz celeron d

intel gm 4500mhd

2gig ddr3 ram

160gig sata2

bought it for traveling so the cheaper the better...btw i like acer so dont bag it XD i have to admit acer and dell pcs past 2007 are built as cheap as possible XD.

[andykpo]

HI PEOPLE, I HAVE A QUESTION, I JUST UNBOXED AND TURN ON THE LENOVO, I PUT THE WINDOWS 7 TO BOOT, BUT I DON'T KNOW HOW CAN I BOOT BECAUSE THERE IS NOT ANY TEXT WHICH SAID "Click F... to boot", SAVE ME !!!

sorry 4 my bad english

[jamesrschultz]

When it says Lenovo at startup, press F2. This will take to you the BIOS. Go to startup and make sure the CD drive is first. Then try to boot up computer with Windows 7 disk in.

[andykpo]

@jamesrschultz

Thanks :D, but the DVD Drive must be always the 1º priority :P, anyway thnx ;)

[jamesrschultz]

Obviously, that's what you need to do. If that is done, then it's your 7 cd.

[andykpo]

@jamesrschultz

;), last question, what you recommend to me ? Let W7 Update install for me the drivers for the lenovo, or i must insert the lenovo "VISTA" drivers (It says Vista, not 7)

[jamesrschultz]

Try Windows update first, then Vista drivers.

[megaluisdeth]

Umm can you put a remote control in the express slot? My friend has one in his computer but can I buy a remote for it?

[jamesrschultz]

I don't Lenovo supports remotes. Usually, it's HP that does that.

[megaluisdeth]

yes he has an HP.

[LeCompaqPresario]

How old is this laptop?

[jamesrschultz]

Brand new... still for sale. I got it in November '09

[sakurabajsar]

how do you fix the worthless fan? ?

[jamesrschultz]

I've heard about a fan issue, but I've never had the problem myself. What happens?

[sakurabajsar]

@jamesrschultz

The fan starts and stops all the time, it runs for 10 seconds, then quiet for 10 seconds and so on, all the time.

[fuchs993]

You must chang the settings on the BIOS dude ;D

[sakurabajsar]

@fuchs993

Change the settings in bios?

How?

I heard that there will be an bios-update for this problem, but I have not seen any settings in bios that will remove this problem att this version

[kinesis420]

im thinking of selling my desktop and getting the G450 (I want 14 inch because it weighs less) it has nVidia graphics for $750 or less.

[jamesrschultz]

Good idea, you'll love the Lenovo stuff.

[joeyvjoeyv]

Hey, nice video. Like you, I am leaning towards a Lenovo G series to replace my Pavilion. I had a horrible experience with my HP laptop and I will never buy another one (speakers went out, the little HP mickey-mouse on/off power switch went out, the wireless card went out plus software issues -awful). I hope to have better luck with the Lenovo. I looked at Dell, and I just don't care for their styling (I'm superficial,I guess).

[jamesrschultz]

Hi, thanks a lot. We're in the same boat. The G550 is worth every penny, and you will love it.  Good luck! PS: RUN WINDOWS 7 ON IT!!!

[mynameiswhatever]

Are you okay with the trackpad? I've heard complaints about that too.

[jamesrschultz]

It's decent... not worth finding another laptop.

[audibleobsession]

Hey man, looks sweet!

Question for you though, does your new G550 have expresscard? I've noticed that the 1st gens didn't, but confused about which ones do and dont!

Thanks!

[jamesrschultz]

Yeah, it does. Walmart's website didn't say it that or an HDMI, but it has both!

[WhyNoMovies]

I got this laptop my self and i love it!

I dont know a game it cant play and it dont cost that very much.

BTW Nuki you suck...

[NIkeAir26]

were in the fuckin middle of the video and u didnt even open the fuckin box!

[NIkeAir26]

your a fuckin tard u compare boxes while theres a computer inside-.-

[jamesrschultz]

Windows Vista Home Premium x64

[emorytm]

Hey, I have this computer. Love it so far.

The only qualm I have with it is that right where the microphone is there is a little bulge. Anyone else have this on theirs? Also, when any type of force is applied to the bottom of the screen if flexes a crapload, not sure if this is normal either.

Cheers!

[jamesrschultz]

I have no bulge near the microphone... Also, my screen doesn't flex when I press on the bottom. Weird, but I guess as long as it works.

[emorytm]

True, it works like a charm. I don't think it's messing with anything but im going to call Lenovo since it doesn't seem to be common.

[Seanbbn]

lol this guy sounds like a walmart employee jk jk was ur pavilion any good? i ordered a dv6z recently

[jamesrschultz]

The Pavilion was not a good machine. Good luck with yours.

Welcome to walmart, get your shit and get out.

[Seanbbn]

lenovos are super reliable

[Laucheehung]

@ user guide: excellent book, not going to need that

+ is the unboxing done on an air hockey table?!? lol nice

[nkthnk]

can I play crysis on minimum setings???

[AshKilamande]

maybe with like 10 fps.. but not worth it, just buy a better gaming laptop (1000+ dollars) or a gaming desktop which is the same price as this laptop that can play crysis on med or high settings

[jamesrschultz]

I doubt it... It says it wants 2.2GHz Core 2 Duo and 256MB dedicated graphics.. Maybe at VERY low quality though..

[avital052]

i must to load 24 hours or can i 12 hours?

[Nadeem97]

OK, Great Video. I need your help.

Am thinking of ditching my Msi Wind for this one. My main concern is some minor stuff I hope you'd clarify for me:

What is the exact name of :

The ethernet card.

The wireless card.

You can find those in the device manager, you know.

Those are necessary for me because I want to use an operating system different from windows, and I want to make sure they both work OK.

Thanks in advance. Hope you reply.

[jamesrschultz]

Intel wifi Link 5100AGN

Broadcom Netlink Fast Ethernet

Thanks for the comment!

[Nadeem97]

Thanks for the reply !

Very sad, it wont work.

[nkthnk]

how much Intel 4500MHD have video memory ?

[jamesrschultz]

Dedicated: 32MB

Uses a lot of RAM from Windows though...works great!

I love it.

[yaetoneya]

James hi , can you plz give me your opinion about this leptop , because i want to buy him and im not sure....

so if you can give me your opinion about him (Performance etc.. ) its will be very hellpfull for me :)

tnx in advance.

[jamesrschultz]

I love it. It is very fast, and I would have expected to pay much more for a computer like this. I would buy this over any HP and any Dell on the market. A Lenovo IdeaPad would be better, but you would pay much more than 750 for these same specs. Performance is great, and I love the graphics and connectivity available. This is par with my 3500 dollar ThinkPad Z61 in terms of build quality (INCREDIBLE) and performance (GREAT)

[n00kkin]

I don't get why people refer to 1366x768 screens as "16:9". If you do the math, a 16:9 screen will have a resolution of 1280x768.

It says "Centrino Duo" because Centrino is a platform, not a processor.

[jamesrschultz]

Ohh, okay, thank you for clearing that up!

[xXxPCzBOYxXx]

nice

[techguy1995]

Why wont you ever buy an acer if you dont mind me asking?

[jamesrschultz]

Because I've heard horror stories about the quality of their products and support.

[kyleman1313]

wait a minute... didn't circuit city go out of business?

[jamesrschultz]

They still have Warehouse stores.
