![]() My difficulty typing on the G50-45 is partially due to the keys only having 1.35 millimeters of travel - shorter than both the X555LA (1.55 mm) and the Inspi(1.5 mm), the latter being the amount of travel we look for in a notebook keyboard. By comparison, I notched 63 wpm on the Asus X555LA with 98 percent accuracy. Not only are they scalloped on the bottom, many of my clicks also didn't register, leading to my worst 10FastFingers typing test result: 49 words per minute with a low 89 percent accuracy. While some may associate Lenovo with the amazing keyboards on the company's ThinkPad notebooks, the G50-45's keyboard was the worst of the budget laptop keyboards I encountered. The bass on Jay Z and Kanye West's "No Church in The Wild" sounded muffled, and the highs on Van Halen's "Hot For Teacher" were below the peaks they should have been reaching. While I was able to get a lot of volume out of the G50-45 by raising the audio to 100 percent, the sound quality was subpar. That helped the laptop stand out from the others during head-to-head comparisons, giving fiery explosions more pop. The screen on the G50-45 is also the brightest in its price range, with an average of 238 nits of brightness. Watching the trailer for American Ultra on the G50-45's 15.6-inch HD (1366 x 768) display, the small text in the background looked crisp, unlike the screens on the X555LA and the Inspiron 15, which rendered that same text fuzzily. ![]()
