About the Lenovo G565
Lenovo M42D6UK is listed in the laptops category. The recorded specifications include display diagonal: 39.6 cm (15.6"); processor family: AMD Turion II Dual Core; internal memory: 2 GB; total storage capacity: 500 GB. This entry covers manufacturer code M42D6UK. Specifications relate to this exact source record; other editions or packages may differ.
The 39.6 cm (15.6") display is specified at 1366 x 768 pixels. Consider these together: a larger screen provides more physical space, while resolution determines the number of pixels available. Neither specification establishes brightness, colour accuracy or motion quality.
This configuration lists 2 GB of memory and 500 GB of storage. Memory supports active applications; storage holds software and files. Check upgradeability separately, because a capacity figure does not establish whether either component can be replaced.

What does the COR Score mean?
One consistent scale makes different publishers’ ratings easier to compare. The original review still tells you why a critic reached that verdict.
