I've been thinking about getting this from futureshop: http://www.futureshop.ca/catalog/proddetail.asp?sku_id=0665000FS10108706&catid=25315&CMP=BAC-FS_hbad_t2_s1-EN do you guys think this is worth it? There isn't much stuff I can find about LG laptops so I'm not really sure if it's durable. Also is this model old or is there any problems that is known to be associated with this laptop? Thank you.

Seems to be a pretty decent laptop for the price.
Quality wise i have never used a LG. -
Heh, someone tried to sell me one of those today at future shop. I told them I would have to think about it. I was kind of annoyed because I was all set to buy something else and the guy clearly wanted to push me towards something with a higher price point, without caring about what I needed.
Still, it was very nice and solid looking, pretty light with good specifications. I'm just wary of buying from LG since I don't know too much about it. -
I just bought this laptop less than a month ago (EXACTLY the same except 3 gigs of RAM instead of 4...$100 cheaper too!).
Great so far. The keyboard is MUCH better than the recent model Acer that the LG replaced. Hardly any bloatware either. Rates a 4 on the Vista scale as-is.
Construcion is durable and feels solid. The two latches to open the clamshell are very solid as well.
The underside is clean and upgrading components should be a breeze. Mine is very quiet and doesn't heat up too much.
The only thing is that 2-3 hours per battery charge is what you should expect...no more.
Overall, I'm very happy with the purchase. -
I've had an LG-R405 for almost a year.
Got mine at NCIX before they started to sell 'em at Future Shop.
It's a reliable laptop. No problems as of far, keyboard feels pretty good.
The only gripe I had with it is replacing the ram, as mine came with only 1 gig. Manual upgrade requires taking your laptop apart. Luckily, the one FS sells has 4 gigs, so that shouldn't be a problem at all.
A year ago, mine was $1000. $899 is a steal, though if you want to do some light gaming, I suggest you not invest in this, and go for AMD processor + HD3200 IGP.
Is LG worth it?
