Good but not so good at the same time
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I have had this bad boy for an entire day now. yes 1 day! and so far I do not regret my purchase. I am a 15yr veteran computer tech that has been building and working on computers since I was a little child. My parents fostered my interest in x86 hardware before I even got out of elementary school. I have owned and built many systems the last 25 yrs including custom gaming desktops and custom configured gaming laptops. With that said, I got out of the industry almost 10 yrs ago. Not long after Windows 8 came around. The last system I custom configured for myself was a Lenovo Y series laptop about 6 yrs ago. I have not used anything since then. (around the time I got out of the industry) so my comparisons are a bit dated but I will say this...… I am a bit disappointed. But in all honesty I can't blame Lenovo or this model I purchased as my complaints are not truly with either. Performance. A word I know very well when it comes to PC hardware. This laptop does in many ways far exceed my expectations and in others it falls almost a decade short of what I expected. On paper and indeed in the flesh, This little laptop packs a punch. I was not compared in anyway for the extreme performance difference between a SATA SSD and the M.2 PCIE SSD found in this system. Boot time. Load time, Game time, Install time, It doesn't matter. This drive is blistering fast! sustained write speeds are 1000mbs. Sustained read speeds are nearly 1200mbs. Peak reads come in around 1300mbs. That is fast! especially for a laptop in the mid range. The CPU in this system is a little slower than I expected. On paper it is capable of 5ghz when boosting. With little or no activity, It chimes in around 4.6-4.8ghz. This makes common task super fast. But this is a gaming laptop and sustained clock rates after an hour of gaming was around 3ghz. Honestly that isn't bad considering the base clock is 2.6ghz. I will be honest though, I do not have any games that can truly stress the CPU. As far as graphics go, This is probably the systems weakest component. Well, It comes in second behind the ram. On paper this should be comparable to a desktop GTX 1060 or right around the performance of a GTX 1070m. It has all the specs you need for presentable 1080P gaming. Sort of..... The truth is, There is no doubt a bottleneck here. I am going to guess heat related throttling. Do not get me wrong. Most my games can maintain 60 FPS or higher. Some get upwards of 120-150fps. These are good numbers. But you have to back off to mid or low settings even with many 5 yr old games in 1080P. I guess this is to be expected in a mid range laptop. And honestly even with high settings, Most my games run at a very playable 40+ fps. But as I will discuss in the next paragraph, It is a little disappointing. Probably the biggest surprise with this laptop is the awesome and stunningly beautiful built in display. Best buy gives a very vague description of it so let me set the record straight. THIS IS A FULL 120hz 1080P Display! The brightness is close to 300n. as anyone knows, That is well above average for a laptop in every way. Viewing angles are much better than I imagined and color accuracy is almost spot on. I would guess at least 90% accurate. The refresh late is high enough to make silky smooth 120fps scenes come to life in full HD glory. But sadly this graphics card is not equipped with enough umph to push it to its max in most games. That is the biggest let down of all. System ram is 8gb DDR4 @ 2933 or so MHz,. Intel always has strange memory speeds due in part to system bus and CPU interactions and clock rates. Nothing new here. The memory is recognized by my diagnostic utilities as DDR4 3200. It is 1x 8gb module running in single channel. I plan to immediately upgrade to 16gb and enabling dual channel. That will probably have a good performance increase. The touch pad is annoying however the keyboard is clean, responsive, and very colorful. I however can not get the Lenovo utility that changes the back light colors to work so I am stuck with the 3 default settings. Windows 10 isn't as bad as I expected it to be but windows updates (as usual) are slow and problematic. It appears for every 1 thing they fix, 2 things break. I only purchased this as a portable desktop replacement for gaming so that has not had much of an impact yet...… yet! Build quality is impressive and the touch and feel of the system is sturdy. The cooling systems appears to be good enough to hold its own most of the time. I played for 6 hours last night and the laptop never felt hot. indeed a little warm in areas of the keyboard and underside, But not hot. Aside from the disappointing frame rates and lack of ability to keep pace with the 120hz in most games is a let down. But honestly this system is barely over $1000 bucks at the time of my purchase. For the money It is a heck of a unit. I shopped around and compared many of last years systems and new systems for this year before I decided on this one. There was only 1 other laptop I found with a better price to performance ratio but it is by order from the manufacturer only (Dell G5 SE Ryzen) and I did not want to wait 2-3 weeks to get my new laptop. Best buy had this in stock. The sales kid was friendly and I was shocked at how much tech knowledge he had. He ultimately pointed out a few details I had not seen that made this the system to get. Lenovo extended warranty and accidental damage is cheap and a great value compared to other manufacturers and you can always back that up with Geek Squad support and protection if you feel you need it. I am glad I purchased this laptop and I am glad I got it at Best Buy. Thanks from a happy Customer!

Still very content with it after 9months of use
||Posted . Owned for 8 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Everything about this laptop is great except for the sound/speakers. Excellent crisp and vibrant display. Speed for everyday tasks is exceptional. Work became super productive; didn’t have to wait for apps/files to load or videos to buffer etc. GPU couldn’t handle gears of war for some reason and skipped a lot.. had to go with much lower resolution and FPS when playing. Most Other games that use as much resources as GOW run pretty smooth. RGB lights in Keyboard are pretty cool. Comes with Lenovo vantage software that makes it easy to check pc health. Comes with Lenovo premium support.. very disappointing customer service. Polite and courteous but never been of help with technical issues. Very rarely helpful in gaming issues. Don’t expect much other than the most basic support topics like connecting to the internet or how to log into accounts. On the other hand, registration with Lenovo can get you all the details about your laptop. View manuals, design prints, repair manual, order parts, request repairs etc. I’m pretty gentle and have never been rough or tossed it around but after three months, screws started falling out of the body (bottom) and had to screw them back in. It’s relatively heavy but worth the “weight” (I just had to :p) Gets hot quick if vents are blocked Comes with HARMON audio but volume is pretty low. Ended up buying gaming headphones which turned out to be a great investment. Summary: it was a great buy and am still happy with it after 9 months. Got it during a sale so pretty content with the cost-benefit, reliability, and overall value, especially given my experiences with other laptops (HP, Sony, Toshiba).

Great Laptop with a small flaw
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I think the performance of this laptop is incredible for the price, I know people who have spent much more on laptops and PCs and still do not get the performance of this thing. I genuinely enjoyed everything about this laptop until I returned from class today and noticed there was a screw sitting on my desk. Upon further examination, I found out that the screw had fallen out of the bottom of the laptop so I decided to put it back and tighten the rest of the screws and was very disappointed to see that the screws were not tight and I’m surprised by this because it is a quality laptop. I still highly suggest this laptop, but be weary of the securing screws and maybe snug them up when you receive this laptop. I am a college student and it has worked great for all my classes and better than I could have imagined for late night gaming.

I might just cry...
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I purchased this open box and it was listed as ‘Satisfactory’. I got it roughly $200 cheaper than the new ones, and it appears the only things it was missing was documents. The computer itself is just like new and even had some of the plastic wrapping on the charger. Broke college kid that I am, I’m very excited. The computer is bright, incredibly quick, and a great size for the screen and keyboard. A fun feature I didn’t realize was there is that they have a privacy shutter on the camera too, so I’m a happy buyer. https://www.pcgamebenchmark.com/ This website helped me pick out this computer, and rates it at 96%, which easily makes this the best and most reasonably priced gaming laptop I’ve come across.

Great mid level gaming laptop
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.All around probably the best mid range gaming laptop. Stays very cool under load and the laptop doesn't overheat during graphic intensive games. Keyboard and trackpad have a great feel. Running it through a USB dock enables a three monitor setup all at max resolution. I've upgraded the ram to dual channel 32GB and added an additional 1TB Samsung SSD making the machine lightning fast. This is a gaming laptop that is more than worth the money and has great bang for the buck.

Apparently I can screw up a laptop easy good thing
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Great computer excellent support as I can screw them up easily for some reason. They're different than desktops obviously and apparently so different that I don't know how to use them right so it's a good thing I have help from Best Buy and Lenovo. Rock the Intel down with the processor who shall not be named. And as you can see I'm keeping the sticker on the power button for posterity. Ha!

Gaming Laptop
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I bought this for when I’m in the go so I wouldn’t have to bring my whole pc, 27”monitor, and m&kb with me. I picked it up on sale for 800 2 days before Christmas. Great specs. Will take some getting used to the key layout and playing on a smaller screen. Only recommendation for future potential buyers is if you have the extra money get one with a 17” screen, will help with seeing things better. So far I’ve played rainbow six siege and over watch on this laptop. Everything runs smoothly and I get 130-180fps
