Purchased this through a different online vendor.
I paid under $300 for this laptop, and for what I paid it's adequate.
This laptop ships in a plain brown Lenovo box, and includes just the battery, charger and laptop.
Windows 8 is nightmarish, in my opinion, clearly being designed with touch interfaces in mind. I hate it. I ended loading up a copy of Windows 7 on this beast.
The good:
+This laptop has a full sized keyboard, including 10 key keypad.
+This laptop has a very modular design. Pop open the bottom of the laptop and you'll find you can add extra RAM, or swap out the hard drive.
The bad-
This laptop has a screen with very weak viewing angles. If you're not staring right at this thing, it washes out. Not a deal breaker if you need a budget laptop, but very annoying to me.

This was on sale for 250 and someone bought it for me......My older laptop still had xp. I'm familiar with XP and Windows 7. My desktop has windows 7 (windows 7 being my favorite). I was so afraid about the fact that this had windows 8 on it and a Celeron processor....I've never had a computer with a Celeron processor, they have always been Pentium.Let me tell you Being able do download a third party software called "classic shell" for windows 8, you essentially can make your computer have a regular windows 7 or xp desktop...which I did.......After installing classic shell and reading some forums how to change settings to the way you want, (which isn't that difficult at all), this is a total PLEASURE to use. It's fast, it runs extremely cool and is very light weight and the graphics are crystal clear amazing looking (to me).
The very first thing I wanted to do was check a 1080p youtube video full screen to see if there was any stuttering in the video. It was a fast moving roller coaster point of view video. Not a single stutter in the video......I haven't noticed any lagging and this does everything I want it to do.
I sort of ignored metro since, with classic shell, you can set it to ignore the metro screen and go straight to the desktop (just like windows 7 would), but after using the laptop, getting everything the way I wanted on it, I started looking around in metro and it's pretty cool. It's like you have a regular computer, but then you have a separate section for apps. Just like a smart phone, you can uninstall the ones you don't want (super easy) and go to the app store and install ones you want (some free, some not) and rearrange them in the order you want. I was just playing around..........
Now that I have got a feel for windows 8 and the availability of classic shell, I like it a lot and this computer is great. No issues at all. (I'm not a gamer though) but I do some heavy surfing and multi-tasking......so I know LAG when I see it, and I haven't noticed any.
Also , someone said Lenovo laptops are terrible with wi-fi, constant disconnects, etc. I haven't noticed this at all!
Hope this helps
Best Deals for Lenovo G500 Laptop Notebook - Intel Celeron / 15.6" LED / 4GB DDR3
The Intel Celeron 1005M is enough for light-weight tasks, like web browser and document process. Install a SSD and Win 7 can make it faster. Quality is also comparable to other G500 seriesHonest reviews on Lenovo G500 Laptop Notebook - Intel Celeron / 15.6" LED / 4GB DDR3
Celeron processor is so weak, but It worth the money. You can run every basic programs. Watching film HD is okay. If you run too much tasks, the laptop will be hotter and noisier. For officer, this is a great machine.http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00CRXZVEI/ref=as_li_ss_tl?ie=UTF8&camp=1789&creative=390957&creativeASIN=B00CRXZVEI&linkCode=as2&tag=best-refer-20
