Very nice laptop
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I love this laptop so far. It has a nice feel to it for an all plastic design and is not some boy racer design like most of its competition. Only downside to it is the mechanical hdd. It is slow! But I have become accustomed to ssd for the past few years so take that into account. I added 8gb of ram and an nvme drive to it and it is now exactly what I wanted. In most games I have tried it will easily push past the 60fps basement and look good while doing it.

Great laptop
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This laptop has all the basic necessities for any type of work possible. It can handle light to medium gaming at a solid 120 FPS depending on the game. It can do many things because of its core i7 and it is very fast.

Price to performance proposition if you upgrade
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I purchased this one already knowing I would be adding a NVME Drive. I opened the laptop and for $150 in parts made it competitive with $1300 models. My advice is buy it, add 8gb of ram (slot is available) and also add the nvme drive. This is a solid laptop with reasonably good cooling solution and plenty of power for esports and/or professional use.

Great value
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Ive had this laptop for almost a year now and got it on sale for less than $750 including tax. The specs on it are decent for the price. Only thing is that it has a hard drive not an SSD, so bootup time is slow and when handling multiple programs it can become kinda sluggish. PROS: minimalist design, screen, value CONS: the webcam on the bottom of the screen, regular hard drive not SSD

Good Laptop
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.good laptop, but if you want an excellent laptop, I recommend purchasing the "Samsung 970 EVO 500GB - NVMe PCIe M.2 2280 SSD" because the Hard drive that comes with the laptop it is very slow, and you need to upgrade the ram also, at least 16 GB, just the OS takes like 3 or 4 gb of ram, and if you open chrome with a lot of tabs and at the same time you want to open photoshop, almost all the ram will be used. You can play good games with this laptop, I tried Titan fall 2, runs very smooth!!

Great Laptop For The Price
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I bought this a few months back and I love it. The looks and performance (after bloat ware was deleted) reach my expectations. Doesn’t look cheap and the screen is crisp. The fans are noticeably loud but it stays cool. The battery life could be a concern if your planning to game or do stuff outside of having somewhere to plug in.

Excellent value!
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The build quality of this laptop is top notch! Lenovo has never disappointed me and this continues that trend. It doesn’t seem to thermally throttle with everything I’ve thrown at it. I did add an M.2 NVME drive for the boot and now it boots in 8 seconds! Also added more ram to make it have 16GB. Running amazingly!

This laptop can easily handle games like Destiny 2. I have the 8GB of ram which it was able to run just fine. Would highly recommend to anyone considering an overall versatile laptop that's slim as well.

An incredible laptop for any use
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I've had this laptop for over two months now, and it's completely blown my expectations away. I've never owned a gaming laptop so this was my first, and as a college student, it was important for me to find something I could use for gaming and school. This laptop excels in both areas. I have yet to find a game it hasn't been able to run beautifully, and I've been using it to play such games as Overwatch, Fallout 4, Mad Max, Civilization, and Black Ops III, all of which have experienced no issues. I have it connected via HDMI to an Acer monitor as well. For school I've been using programs like Adobe Premiere Pro, Photoshop, Word, and Powerpoint, which run perfectly. I would highly recommend this laptop for anyone, whether it's your first or you're looking to upgrade!

Great laptop not just for gaming
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The Lenovo Legion y530 is both a great gaming laptop and all around laptop. Needed something for both gaming and graphic intensive applications. This fit the bill nicely. Dedicated graphics in a sub 5.5lb packers and doesn’t look like a gaming laptop is a huge plus.

A great laptop.
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I bought the Lenovo Legion for work and to game on. It handles my work related things very well. Games play great on it. Every older title I have played can run on ultra setting very easy. Newer titles like Black Ops 4 and Crackdown run on medium to high settings well. The built in cooling fans are an amazing touch. During heavy gaming the fan kicks in and really cools the GPU quite alot. The Backlit keyboard is bright and can be adjusted and start up is fast but I would recommend getting a SSD for faster load times and start up. Overall I am very pleased with my purchase and would definitely recommend this laptop for anyone looking for a very solid mid range gaming laptop.

sleek entry level gaming laptop
|Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I got this laptop to replace my current lenovo Y40 laptop with core I7 6h generation and 14 inch display with no touch screen. this laptop is the same width as the 3 years old 14 inch Y40 due to its amazingly thin bezel. this is one of the most things I love about this laptop. Screen is not touch, brightness and contrast are very good. keyboard is full and very comfortable although the num pad position is a bit odd. the keyboard is also backlit but in white only which can be dimmed. the touchpad is really big and nice to navigate, and they brought back physical keys for the touch pad which you can use or not! I loved that they put most of ports including the power on the back. its way more convenient. now, performance: This laptop has the latest core I7 processor, 8 GB of ram, and a 1050 TI graphic card, in addition to intel HD graphics. gaming on this laptop was fun, I played the Fortnite with high quality settings (I let Nvidia graphics card decide which settings), and it was very intersting and easy to play, and then i had all settings put to the max and the game still ran but lagged a bit. the same hapenned with Need for speed payback. gaming on this LAPTOP is reasonable as long as you have realistic expectations. now lets talk about a few things I found very important and added to the value and performance of the laptop: 1- this laptop comes with a 1 TB HD with 7200 RPM. make sure you swap it for an SSD and you will see better loading times in almost every app including games, restart time, and you will notice increased battery life (slightly) due to the absence of the mechanical HDD. 2- the ram for this laptop is 8 GB and is expandable up to 16 GB, if you can do it it will be a lot better especially if you are going to use it for games or rendering. 3- you have the option to switch between graphic cards intel or Nvidia, or auto select. I strongly recommend keeping it on auto select because if you chose the Nvidia as a permanent option, the laptop will not last more than an hour and 10 minutes on battery alone, it will always drain the battery if you have this option. finally, this is a very well built laptop, and easy to upgrade parts that can be upgraded. swapping the HDD takes less than 10 minutes and is very user friendly. maintenance manual is available from Lenovo and had detailed information on how to upgrade parts. f

Great deal when on sale
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Alot of specs for money. Relatively thin but feels well built. However I ordered the 16gb optane kit and having Lenovo authorized repair install it. Good thing I work for a computer company There is a little lag opening applications so optane is needed Keyboard looks and feels good and screen is pretty decent.
