freezes, crashes, repairing loops
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Do NOT get this. I tried 2 copies of this exact same laptop. First copy lasted for a month when I logged and it froze, forcing me to do a force shutdown. 2nd copy, 2 months, trying to do my assignment and then froze again. Disk Usage 100%. forced shutdown again and then crash, then loop. I only play maplestory, do hw, and sometimes watch anime (yugioh vrains), sometimes streaming. I'm sorry but Lenovo's not for anybody.

OS crashed twice
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Within the first week with this laptop the operating system stopped working on me. I was able to bring it back and get a replacement but 3 months later the operating system failed again. Now I have to spend more money to get it fixed. I would not recommend buying this.

Worst laptop
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This is easily the worst gaming laptop or laptop in general that I’ve owned. Within the first month it had a critical hardware failure, I was able to replace it, the second one continues to fail and freeze up when I literally have 1 game downloaded on the laptop.

Great price, awful laptop
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Day 1: turn on the laptop and attempt to update windows...... 6 hours later during a reboot, the computer goes blue screen and enters a boot loop. The machine was worthless and unrecoverable after almost no use. Please, avoid this model.

Posted .We are sorry to hear that you had an issue with the initial activation of Windows 10 on your Lenovo Legion Y530. Resetting the device back to original factory settings may correct the issue. If you can not boot the computer any longer, this system is equipped with OneKey Recovery System. There is a very small pin hole on the right side of the device, right near the USB port on the device. You will need a pin to push this reset button. Plug the device in. Let the battery charge for about 15 minutes. Push the reset button. The system should boot to a choice screen where you can choose "Restore To Factory Default". Select this. It will delete everything from the hard drive except the original factory install of the operating system. You will need to reinstall all programs and files after the reset. If you don't have copies of the files, try to make one before you restore by selecting "Boot to desktop" and trying to back up your files. If the problem persists after the factory reset, we recommend you contact Lenovo Tech Support at: 877-453-6686. For 2018, Lenovo retained its place for a second year as the best laptop vendor:
