By snowbirdI've always had IBM Thinkpad for work. This has the same great feel to the keyboard. This was way ahead of the competition in quality and was a perfect gift for my casual computer user wife.

By WitneyI bought this laptop 10 months ago. I like it because its screen is 16:9 which lets me have many windows open; the numpad is the most helpful thing ever (I work a lot with numbers); it doesn't make much noise; its case is very strong (one of the more important things for me because I'm very tough and it has received many hits and continues working); and it came with the software advertised.
What I don't like is that it weights a lot, I mean, I put it in my backpack with the charger and ¡I hope I don't have to put anything else in the bag, OMG! Another thing I don't like is the battery, it almost endures for 2 hours ¡in power saver mode! Don't believe what is says in the description. The webcam is horrible; I've tried webcams from other laptops with the same megapixels and those are like pro cameras for weddings compare to the one in the G550. It also has a problem with the mouse pad: when you are writing you gotta be careful and don't touch it 'cause it moves with any little touch and you can loose all you've written (had happened to many dozens of times). The last thing, is that I think it should be sold with more RAM, because from the very beginning it was slow, now it is even slower and I've done every little trick I know and tweak it but at this point I've decided to get another portable PC and keep this one as a desktop.
Remember, always read the reviews, do not believe in all that is advertised =D.
