Lenovo Legion Y7000 User Reviews and Ratings

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

This is a great laptop! Very fast and reliable with amazing graphics. I have been running demanding games and it runs flawlessly. I would highly recommend!

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.

Great improvement over my HP computer. Our of the box it is a pleasure to work with.

La laptop llegó en buen estado :')

I am very impressed with the Lenovo Y7000. I love the design, which is understated but still has some style thanks to some angled contours on the body, the matte finish, and the illuminated logo on the lid. It's not as geeky as most gaming laptops but looks handsome and can be used in professional settings without demanding attention. The build quality feels great, with some nice heft to the fairly thin unit. The screen/lid is very svelte and opens and closes smoothly without stressing or twisting thanks to a well-placed center hinge. Another design feature I like is the power cord attaching at the rear rather than on one side as is typical. I find that to be a better location that is more convenient, as side ports sometimes put you in an awkward position.The keys feel great. They're very responsive with just the right amount of resistance and travel. The numeric keypad is essential for me, as I use the laptop for bill paying, record keeping, etc. The keys are not back-lit if that matters to you. Not an issue for me. I love the feel of the touchpad too. It's responsive and not too stiff when you press & click. Like the keyboard, it feels just right.The screen looks good, with pleasing brightness, vibrant colors, no glare, and generous viewing angles. The speakers are not a strength, however. They only sound okay, providing clear sound but not much punch or volume. At full blast they are still not very loud. Thankfully they don't distort at all when turned on full bore.The performance is great. I am not a huge gamer, using the unit mainly for music recording, video editing, and general use, but my brother spent several days with it over Christmas playing Fortnite and it ran very smoothly with a consistently high frame rate using pretty high graphics settings. He's much more into PC gaming and was very impressed. I also love how fast the computer powers up: it only takes about 11 seconds to get to the login screen and less than 20 to get through login to the desktop. One thing that probably helps in this area is the lack of crapware preloaded on the unit. Thanks to Lenovo for keeping the bloatware to a minimum.The battery life is good for general use, but don't plan to do hardcore gaming without plugging in. As one would expect, performance takes a hit when you operate on battery power.Overall, I love this laptop. Aside from the less-than-stellar speakers, it nails it on just about every level: great looks and style, thoughtful design touches, powerful and fast, excellent keyboard and touchpad responsiveness, nice screen, etc. I am really happy with it.

Sitting at a table in Busse Woods near Chicago, sipping a joe, watching people walk by, I typed a thing or two I'd forget in a week."Do you want to play a game?" she asked. "I'm Nancy," she said.Chess, I thought. Did she bring a set? No game. She brought nothing but a smile. I poured her a cup from my flask and she sat."A game. On that," she said, pointing to my Lenovo Legion Y7000 Gaming Laptop.I told I'm not a gamer."But..." she looked."I love the speed. It comes with an Intel Core i7-8750H Processor, NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1060 Discrete Graphics, 16 GB DDR4 RAM, 1 TB HDD + 128GB PCIe SSD and more," I said."What's all that?""I don't know. It is fast. That's what I know.""The fastest?" she asked."Probably not, but fast enough. It never crashes. The web, video, music apps, word processing. All at once. No problems.""You do all that at once?""No, but I tried it. Every app I'd use, I ran all together, just to see," I explained.The afternoon never got around to gaming, but my laptop never lost power. The battery surprised me.I don't carry it often. When I do, it is heavy. This is over five pounds, but I don't care.May your Lenovo Legion Y7000 Gaming Laptop please you, and attract gamers walking by who don't want to game. It will get the job done, and you'll have time to share your coffee with whomever you like.--Brockeim

After two weeks with the product I can really enjoy what was given. Smooth graphics for gaming, battery life is just as expected of 4 hours when put to full use but minor things allow it to last longer. Heatingbisnt an issue due to lots of events but just for safe measure to keep it from over working I place a fan on it to help remove the heat faster.It will get loud with the fan when it's over working if your interested into things such as that but over its a great product and I have reached no faults as of yet.

Es un producto completo. Posee una estética elegante y simple, sin RGB ni colores rojos extravagantes. Aunque si posee un diseño con personalidad. Su hardware es suficiente para los actuales juegos AAA de la industria. Lo recomiendo completamente.

insane hardware for the price paid. great laptop

Todo lo que esperaba en un procesador

I've had this laptop for 3 months now, so here goes nothing.Pros: excellent machine. It's super fast, easily keeps its framerates up without trying, has a battery life unlike any laptop I've owned before, and honestly it has just enough of that "gamer aesthetic" to look cool without looking like Megatron's codpiece like most other gaming laptops these days.Cons: the built-in monitor is a 60Hz display, so your framerates aren't going higher despite it easily having the spare power to do so with a better monitorThe legion logo on the back of the screen that lights up cannot be turned off, so if you play in a dark room and prefer doing so, prepare to have a beacon in the middle of your room.It's kind of a nitpick, but the soft touch material picks up oils from your skin and smudges really easily. It's not hard to clean, but it does make me add a step of "wipe this thing down" before packing it up to go to a friend's house, which is a minor annoyance.And now for the only real problem I have with it. It severely limits how much power the GPU can use if it's on battery. I'll be at a static 60 frames, and checking my stats, the GPU isn't taxed AT ALL with a handful of modern games, but then if the computer becomes unplugged, it locks the screen at 30 frames per second. I can tell that it doesn't seem limited to games either, because something seems slightly off with my otherwise vibrant display when it's unplugged, but I know it hadn't dimmed or anything. So if you're not near an outlet, you're not gaming (it's honestly a nightmare in competitive games). This has me concerned about the longevity of the computer's battery, because keeping it plugged in can't be good for it.

After upgrading from 19 to Ubuntu 20.04 this laptop worked flawlessly, no tweaking needed.In Ubuntu 19 there were some very minor issues such has needing to turn off then on Wifi to unlock it when starting the computer. And also closing the laptop would exit all programs instead of just sleeping. However, all issues were gone after updating the OS to 20.04.PROS: Very smooth performance running Ubuntu. Everything works as expected.CONS: This is not intended to be portable, so it has a very short battery life and speakers are are louder than a Lenovo Yoga but no where near the speakers on a Mac Book (my work computer).I'm not a PC gamer but this laptop fits my needs of doing print work in Photoshop running through Virtual Box (just can't get into Gimp).

I m happy with my purchase

Great

I was a little scared but its a good computer for working. The light a vack can be shut down with fn+L and the webcam doesnt annoy that much.

Love itt

My sons schooling and gaming

It's a fairly light laptop for a gaming computer with the screen bezels really small for a premium look. The price is competitive at around the entry ~$1k mark and comes loaded with features. I have been using this laptop for all most a 6 months and did not find any issues so far. I am playing all sorts of games on this laptop and did get a lag for a single time.

Mouse is suspect but everything else is great. Heavy and clunky.

For some odd reason, after playing my Age of Empires game for about 4 or 5 hours, it feels like the laptop goes into cool mode or something because the fans are not going ballistic anymore and my sound is gone in the game....wtf lol

Great laptop for gaming with a 144 monitor,Everything was awesome after a few days after warranty expired CPU stock at 0.79.Some BIOS update messed up the cpu mb sensor.still works but be carefull with this mb.

I did not receive a laptop manual inside the package. I deserve some form of compensation for that I spent over a 1000usd and no manual that's not a good look

Unable to connect to WI-FI. And it has a problem just like this. In other words, I can't use it on campus at all. I'm getting it returned. Hope next one wouldn't be like this awful.

I'm sure the laptop itself is great, but that's certainly not the one that shipped. Check your model number if you do buy one, I received a Y545 instead, which is hundreds cheaper.
