Excellent laptop for the price
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.We purchased this Lenovo - Legion Y530 15.6" Laptop for our daughter. It has a great package for the price, but the only issue she had was that the mousepad did not have separate button controls from the pad (which she is found of). Otherwise we would recommend this for anyone.

Posted .Thank you for choosing the Lenovo Legion Y530 laptop. The current design of today's laptop touchpad is a one piece touchpad. There are right-click/left-click "areas" on the touchpad. With regard to the touchpad, you can make adjustments to the touchpad in your system settings. You can get there by clicking on the magnifying glass at the bottom left of your Windows 10 screen. Type "touchpad" in the search window. Select "Mouse & touchpad settings" from the list of choices. You can make general adjustments to the touchpad there. You can also select "Additional mouse options" for more detailed adjustments to the touchpad sensitivity by increasing the delay of the touchpad.

Very solid laptop
||Posted . Owned for 4 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I wouldn't say this is the best gaming laptop out there, but it definitely is a good all-around laptop. Since it has a little more power than a standard midrange laptop it handles multitasking very nicely. The performance in games is pretty good, most things can run on mid to high levels, not ultra though. I love the screen on this laptop though. It is a good resolution and with it being matte is great! The only downside to this is that it's quite heavy. Definitely not a super portable laptop, but definitely worth the money.

Only one complaint...
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This laptop is perfectly fine for all your needs, but I had a bit of a problem with the keyboard layout. The number pad was located closer to the top than in most layouts. It was not intuitive at all, and it will take some getting used to.

Entry Level Gaming PC
|Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.With an entry level price. If you’re looking to step up your game, or should I say gaming a bit and keep the bucks under a cool $1000.00 price point this may be just the computer for you. It’s not glitzy and alien-ish looking with glowing symbols and lights. Instead it’s a rather unassuming normal looking computer in classic black. It really smokes the more casual games with a lower FPS rate but chugs along a bit on higher graphic games like Hitman etc., and not a top choice for VR gaming either. The Harmon Kardon speakers are fantastic for everything from special effects to music. Love the fact that its a lighted keyboard with more of an easy touch keyboard, but many don’t like that in a gaming laptop and prefer the sharp snap of a more stiff keyboard, but I like it. The huge 1TB hybrid can handle nearly anything that you throw at it by utilizing the SSD for the opsys and the SATA handles a ton data storage with ease. The display is really good, showing a great deal of detail that adds to your gaming enjoyment. The cooling fans keep this from overheating while you’re putting it thru the paces of rigorous game play. The case itself is plastic, as it is on every laptop I have owned so far but seems to be very durable. I went ahead and added another bank of ram to bump it up to 16 GB of ram but have not had the chance to get in a good session of game playing since the upgrade. The entire back has to be removed and another metal plate needs to be removed after removing the battery, which must be done after removing the back, but disassembly and reassembly was relatively easy and was completed without hitting even the first snag. I was a bit disappointed in the fact the Y530 does not have a CD Drive, but only $40.00 for an external and I was a happy camper. Bottom Line: Great Buy For An Entry Level Gaming Laptop for some of the easier lower graphic demanding games.

It’s eh
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The employee I talked to hyped it up as being the better computer than the one that I had originally picked out. Turns out, this computer has some major design flaws that I was not told of. The battery does not stay full charged, EVEN when it is plugged it. There is an option to change it so that the battery is preserved more but the battery still decels and performance is taken away when you do that. The computer has become slower especially when I am trying to use the internet and I only average at about 80+ frames when I play games like R6, Fortnite, and rust. The computer appears to have great components, but is does not function the way I expected it to.
