    Not super powerful but it's decent. Gets really hot while playing games. I had to buy a Laptop cooling stand. The buttons were sometimes almost to hot to touch

    The Lenovo has to be my favorite of all times. Surpasses Dell for performance, speed, graphics and ease of use. Researching this product in depth and speaking with IT professionals lead me to this product and it is certainly living up to the reviews I would certainly recommend this product, and plan to stay with Lenovo going forward.

    It has everything I was looking for. I'm able to play all the games I want in Ultra or high settings in 60 FPS or higher. I play War Thunder, Squad, Arma 3, Day of Infamy, and Dawn of War (1 and 2). I had one big problem this laptop though...I keep having problems with it going to a blue screen and restarting. It has happened on more than one occasion and I haven't found a fix for it yet. Other than that I love it.

    I purchased because my computer shoot down during school, and needed a replacement ASAP. The great thing it was an open box item and I usually purchase NEW!! This is one of the better buys. I would recommend this computer to anyone!! I have had it going on two weeks,and I really like that it automatically does updates for the software I have currently.

    i got this laptop as a replacement for my XPS 12. i have to say AMD hardware works fantastic for my needs between working and gaming on the go. It was an open box product so i had my doubts and the only problem when i received it was that they gave me the wrong ac adapter which wasn't strong enough to charge while powered on and even caused performance issues, but with everything in its right place it works like a dream. My only complaint is that the touchpad is very awkward and oversensitive with its multiple "gestures", but that's nothing a mouse cant fix.

      Thank you for choosing the Lenovo Y700 laptop. We are pleased to hear that the Y700 is meeting your computing needs so well. With regard to the touchpad issue you mention, you may want to follow the link below to Lenovo.com support-drivers and look for new drivers for your specific system. Be sure to create a restore point on your system before you make changes, then create a new restore point once you make the fix. Here's the link:

    All Around Good PC

    I took some time with this machine before writing my review. At first my experience was not all that great. However, after updating the AMD Drivers and determining how to make the system utilize the Radeon R9 M385X (Best Buy's description is incorrect) - I have found that it is a pretty good PC for gaming. It is not a powerhouse and most games, such as the Witcher 3, will need to be played at low - medium settings with some post processing off to get 30 fps stable. Some games are unplayable; those that rely strictly on NVIDIA tools. The keyboard is great in my opinion, some other reviews state otherwise; the track pad however, is a different story as it is not top notch. Clicks to the track pad sometimes do not registers, although scrolling techniques do register (e.g. two finger swiping up and down to scroll). The battery life of the PC is much better than it is described if you use the AMD software to adjust and optimize. The screen is GREAT. The low in this unit is the RAM and the 5400 RPM HDD, but it doesn't kill the value. With some simple updates to those, cheaply done if you look for parts, the system gets much faster. Also, you will want to remove all of Lenovo's bloatware immediately. If I wrote this review the day of or day after first use, I would rate 3 of 5, but I choose now 4 of 5.

    This is a great start to beginner Gamers as its fair price and great specs. The build quality is solid. the looks are exactly what you would like out of a gaming laptop. in my opinion it competes very well with Alien-ware in the looks department. Specs could be better but are perfect very generous for this price point.

    I'm not happy overall with the laptop performance. With 8GB ram, it should respond faster and boot up faster. Even after optimizing and limiting the start-up programs, it still boots up slow. Also, it constantly returns to the top of a window of files after having scriolled down a few pages then, pop, your back at the top trying to figure out where you were a second ago. Not a purchase I'll make again. Back to HP.
