Lenovo Legion Y7000 User Review and Ratings

• Review from gamers: A+!

  The short version is that this is by FAR the best laptop I have ever owned.But to give some context: I am a middle aged working mom who primarily wants a good laptop because I am impatient with lag and because I take a billion pictures. BUT, I do play World of Warcraft once or twice a week so whatever laptop I use needs to be gaming quality. My oldest son just (last week!) graduated from Full Sail University with his BS in Game Design so he is obviously a very heavy gamer. He's home right now for the holidays and I had him give this beauty a good test drive overnight, trying it on WoW and on some Steam games he plays. Both of us LOVE it and my son proclaims it better than his Full Sail laptop.I LOVE:+ GREAT graphics. I can have WoW set to the max graphics and it looks amazing.+ SUPER fast processing - everything, every game, every site, everything loads in a blink. WOW what a pleasure.+ I love the keys. They are slightly elevated and have, I don't know how to say it, good differentiation between them. What this means for me is far fewer typos as my fingers seem to find the right keys unerringly. Also the keyboard can be set to be backlit, which I like.+ Great storage. 1 TB which is enough for all my pictures!+ 3 USB ports, also an HDMI port+ The power cord is in the back which I think is brilliant! I hate side mounted power outlets because what if it doesn't fit your set up (what if your power cord is on the left and where you sit the wall outlet is on your right)-- then you have to drape the cord around you and it's irritating.+ Slim, light (5 pounds!), and quietGAMER SON LOVES:- Easily handles 60 FPS at maxed our graphics- Runs several programs jointly with no slow down or fan use- 1 TB of available storage perfect for storing games- Sound speakers can play extremely loud- Multiple USB ports for gaming BOTTOM LINE: Powerful, beautiful, lightning quick, and a TB of storage. LOVE LOVE LOVE!Note: The specs are well documented on the product page which is why I don't list them in detail but in short: Intel Core i7 8th gen processor, 15.6" screen, NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1060 graphics, RAM 16 GB DDR4, 1000 GB Hybrid Drive

• Great gaming computer that's VR capable!
  Centriculous (Jan 4, 2019) on Amazon
  QUICK SUMMARY: Lenovo has created an excellent, power-packed system in a surprisingly pleasant form factor. The system is quiet, VR capable, and an excellent portable gaming system.I don't have any major complaints about the laptop. My only issues are nitpicky at best.BENCHMARKS:- Hitman at 1080p all settings maxed using the Dual GPU setting and DX12: Average 57fps- Ashes of the Singularity on Crazy preset at 1080p DX11: Average 32fps- Rise of the Tomb Raider at 1080p Very High preset DX12: Average 58fpsWHAT I LIKE:The system peaked at 50db of fan noise during benchmarking. To put that in perspective, that?s only ~5db higher than one of our normal gaming desktops idling.We tested with virtual reality (VR), and the test was successful. We played Skyrim VR, Superhot VR, and Space Pirate Trainer without any lagging or motion sickness on an HTC Vive. This system is impressively small for its VR form factor.Surprisingly pleasant keyboard, the keys have more travel than the latest MacBook Pros. Gaming feels natural on the keyboard, and I saw no reason to use an external one. The backlighting is well done and can be toggled off if desired.The screen is gorgeous; matte 1080p looks very clean. Colors are vividly reproduced, and the screen is extremely bright.The spinning disk in the system performed admirably; I didn?t observe any significant load times in games installed to it. The NVMe drive also runs very quickly, faster than standard SATA SSDs. (see screenshot).I like the overall body of the system, it feels very pleasant to hold and looks quite striking.WHAT COULD BE BETTER:Unfortunately, there was some Lenovo crapware which I had to remove. The junk was both Windows 10 apps as well as standard programs.The NumPad isn?t laid out like full keyboard. The top line of numbers is higher than normal, and the math signs are on the right instead of the top. This sacrifice was made to keep a full set of arrow keys, which gamers will appreciate.I had some difficulty getting updated drivers for the GPU. I tried both the mobile and desktop GPU drivers, but neither one thought the system was compatible. Eventually, I had to download GeForce Experience which found and installed the drivers with no hassle.The system is heavy as you might expect with gaming laptops. This is not your lightweight, business-class laptop!The rubber strips on the bottom of the system which protrude a half-centimeter from the bottom of the laptop. I found these strips would get caught on the inside of my backpack.CONCLUSION: I used to unplug and move my bulky, gaming desktop computer to a friend's house when we were going to game all night. Now I take this Lenovo laptop laptop with me, and it's way easier to transport. Recommended for the gamers in your home!

  This is definitely a gamer's laptop. I was able to play my Xbox Anywhere games without any problem. I didn't notice any lag. It felt like I was playing the game on my Xbox One.The only thing that's awkward for me is the touchpad. I prefer the touchpad in the center. However this laptop has it placed toward the left side. If I was left handed it would be great, but I'm not. However, I am adjusting.With that said, I still give it 5 stars because the processing power and the amount of hard drive storage is so great.
