    I was debating between this laptop, a Dell G3 or Asus ROG. I decided to go with this one and boy am I glad that I did. I picked this up while it was on sale for $1,099 and it's downright insane what you get for the price. Core i7 16GB RAM 1TB SSD Nvidia GTX 1660ti 17" screen 144hz refresh rate I've only played World of Warcraft and Halo Reach thus far, but this laptop handled them perfectly, all settings maxed. There's barely and bloatware pre-installed, just Lenovos apps which I personally find useful. IMO, this laptop is worth it even at full price. Highly recommended.

    Laptop is great for gaming, but not for Oculus VR

    This laptop was great but for some reason the processor is not compatible with Oculus. Steam handled it a little better but if you're looking to play it with the Quest via Oculus Link, for some reason this laptop does not work and has constant frame drops while in the headset. Hopefully they fix it soon but I would do some research on the processor beforehand if you're looking to use it for virtual reality.

      According to the Oculus Rift minimum and recommended requirements, the Lenovo Legion Y540-17 Gaming Laptop, model number 81Q4008EUS, is more than capable of supporting Oculus Rift and Rift s:  https://support.oculus.com/248749509016567/?locale=en_US.

    This laptop was a good buy for the value. The screen is the only downside to this laptop. It has some light bleed in the corners and it is noticeable in some dark scenes in movies/games. Over all the laptop performers vary well for games and work but if you plan on downloading lots of games I would add more storage to it. Seeing that I have downloaded about 10 games and I only have about 150GB left of space.

    Got it on Sale, Great Upgrade!

    My old Acer laptop is on its last legs. After 3 years of video editing on a laptop not made for it, I needed an upgrade. I saved up enough to get a better rig, and my eye caught this one on sale at the time. It was a bit above my price range but it has everything I need so far. It can run Adobe Premiere without a hitch, and it can run Rainbow Six Siege at 180ish frames on high settings (not ultra, but high) I have more peace of mind with this item than my last laptop that would seize up sometimes when doing tasks.

    This is a great laptop for the price, I use it for photo editing and digital painting and it works great. My only complaints are the low number of usb ports and the lack of an internal memory card slot. I use a tablet with this and having to ad a usb card reader only leaves me with one full size usb port.

    I had this laptop for a little over a year and let me tell you it is the best laptop I have ever bought. Lenovo is the best I’ve had other laptops in the past and none of them hold a candle to this I play games on all the time including Fortnite left for dead steam ECT And that performs very well. The battery is not the best but I guess that all depends on your settings it’s a beautiful laptop and I highly recommend it.

    I bought this Y-540 model right during a clearance deal. I got it for 1,049.00 not including tax. It was a gift to my younger brother because he seriously needed an upgrade to his decade old Dell Windows 7 laptop. Works great, I like how thin the bezels around the display is. It really helped him play his games without an issue at all. We're also watching TV shows and movies on it. The display is just that good. The keyboard is also extremely silent even at the most extreme key crunching games.
