I bought this to play Sims 4 on, yeah probably a bit overkill, but I wanted something to last. It has been great. I love the support that I get on it from Lenovo. It's not full of bloatware which is cool, unlike a different brand laptop that only lasted me less than a year due to current keyboard issues. Best Buy didn't have any reviews on this, so I had to do extensive research and learned alot. I'm not a technology expert by any means and have nobody to help me on it, so I hope I did good. Anyhow, I'm impressed. I like the sleek design of it and how easy it was for a tech challenged person like me to set it up. I like the speed and the massive space to be able to add more games on it if I want. Also, it's quieter than I expected (again comparing it to a previous laptop mentioned earlier). The only thing I'm leary about is how hot it gets. If anyone has suggestions on a cooling pad, that would be great. I have a 6 fan on it now, but it doesn't cover the extended back on the laptop.

I'm loving this laptop exactly what I was expecting it to be! Pros: Fast, beautiful display, can easily get the 144hz with med-high settings, great keyboard for a laptop, and have different performance options in the settings to customize. Cons: Little heavy in backpack but was expected, Get's warm on the back and on the keyboard but not crazy hot.

This is the next best thing if I can't game on my desktop. It will run all your AAA games at 60+ FPS. Purchased for $1349 originally and 3 weeks later it went on sale for $1199. I was able to get $150 match, so that was a bonus. At $1349, it is hard to find anything out there at that price with these specs. At $1199, it is a black Friday find. BTW, this is one of the cooler running gaming laptop. I under volted the CPU with no performance loss and it ran 10 degree Celsius cooler than stock.

This is my first computer with an SSd and I must say it lives up to its billing. Crazy fast. One nit pic is I wish I could reverse the function keys. to hit the end key i have to hit control end. same with page up/ down home, etc. I googled it and you should be able to change this in the bios, but that option was not available.

build quality is superb! setting it up is a breeze

This laptop is extremely quick and very worth the price. Bootup occurs in less than 10 seconds and everything runs at a lightning speed. Great layout for working on a laptop with a light weight design. Display is much better than other laptops.

i just purchased the legion y540 after trying out the asus tuf gaming laptop great build quality does run a little warm but have had no problems playing high end games like for a horizon 4 gta 5 gears 5 and madden 20 i think that the computer runs these games better then any of the avalible consoles out right now i will never be a console person again after owning this machine

The hardware in this is great and it is fast. However, I wanted to add a 2nd hard drive so attempted to take the bottom cover off and do it. I've done it before on my prior 17" laptops with no issues. The bottom cover is a nightmare to remove and re-install. It has 2 fastener screws and about 8 plastic snaps that are a slide/press fit. It took crowbar to remove it. Then when I attempted to put it back on I could not get the cover to slide back into place and broke many of the plastic fasteners. There is now a bulge in the bottom front of the case. I called Lenova "Ultimate" support and they said I needed to send it in and it probably wouldn't be covered under warranty because it doesn't cover physical damage of this type. I asked if I could buy a new cover and for $52 I can, but the part is out of stock until Dec 27. I'm sure it is out of stock because other people like me tried to install an additional hard drive or upgrade memory and had the same problem. The bottom line: This is not a user serviceable computer. Using plastic snap fit fasteners as the primary means of fastening a cover is not a good design. They should use screws with a few plastic guide pieces. Don't buy it if you ever want to add something to it or replace the battery.
