The Lenovo G550 is an update to the Value Line Lenovo G530 with the primary difference being the shift from a 16:10 to a 16:9 screen. Configurations include either Intel Pentium or Core 2 Duo processor and up to 4GB DDR3 installed memory. The design of the G550 has changed slightly from the G530, switching from a smooth matte exterior finish, to a black weave pattern. The 15.6? LCD is average compared to most 15-16? notebooks, with bright and vibrant colors and decent viewing angles. The G550’s big change is the transition away from the 16:10 screen size to the wider (but shorter) 16:9 panels.
Compared to the older G530, Lenovo switched from using DDR2 memory in favor of DDR3 which is faster and now becoming cheaper. In theory this change could have meant greater performance, but we didn’t see any significant change. Both PCMark05 and 3DMark06 dropped, while wPrime saw a small boost in speed. Thermal performance of the G550 is very good thanks to the large chassis, slower processor, and integrated graphics. Under stress the system controlled temperatures very well, and under normal loads the bottom of the notebook and palmrests stayed cool to the touch.
