Lenovo Ideapad Y50-70 (59-428436) Laptop (Core i7 4th Gen/8 GB/1 TB 8 GB SSD/Windows 8 1/2 GB)

I am an avid gamer, and have been waiting for Lenovo y50 to release in India, got it as soon as it was available. So here goes the review.nn---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------nnValue for money : nnSame configuration in Alienware MX17 (only difference being screen size) - i7 - 4710MQ, 8GB RAM, 1TB Hybrid HDD, GTX 860M 2 GB is available for Rs. 1,37,000nnDo i need to explain the value for money part any more? I guess not ;)nn---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------nnThe Looks : nnIf looks could kill, i would be dead. Yes this laptop is that gorgeous, images cant do justice. Got to hold this baby in your hands and bask your eyes in the glory of the beautiful matte 1080p display and the killer red glowing keyboard.nn---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------nnPerformance : GAMING GAMING & more GAMINGnnThe laptop is a breeze with normal tasks and multitasking (1080p movies, photoshop, even tried some zbrush to check rendering speed) and beast when it comes to its core functionality - gaming.nnI can play my favorite games comfortably without having to worry about frame rate or temperaturenn DOTA 2 (60-70fps all settings maxx), Crysis 3 (High settings 45-55 fps), CS: GO (High Settings 60-70 fps).nn---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------nnBattery :nnLets be clear, from a powerhouse of a laptop like this, u cannot expect 5 hours battery life in high performance/balanced mode. Its the same as saying that an HTC one/ iphone 5 can last 3 days without charge, of course it can but only when put in power saver mode with minimal usage (P.S. Mr. Jadav Mandal, the note on the website says "up to" 5 hours)nnI have got 3.5 hrs in power saver mode with normal usage, in high performance game mode any gaming laptop won't give u more than 1.5 hrs battery. nnSo no complains there.nn---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------nnOther reviews : nnI have already addressed Mr. Jadav Mandal's review. nnNow coming to Mr. CK's reviewn nMy laptop's backspace works fine, so does the ctrl key. I have faced same issues on various machines while working on remote machines. So its a high possibility that your issues are arising out of working on a ramote machine too, If the CTRL key and backspace work fine on your machine but not in the RD then try rebooting your remote terminal.nn---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------nnConclusion - If you want a new laptop for gaming. BUY IT. You will bless me for this review once u get your y50 in your hands.

We got this model from USA with a 512gb SSD... We've done a detailed review on Youtube under the name Nitty Gritty Reviews..You can ask any questions there as well and we'll be able to answer them ... Our Opinions :- It has excellent build quality... Metal lid and bottom... and the palm rest is soft touch finish matte plastic... But it feel really good and it keeps things really cool... The keyboard is quite good... Wont compare to a thinkpad... but preforms pretty good compared to most other laptops out there...Barely any keyboard flex... Had some issues with missing keystrokes initially ... but it was much better after a couple of hours of use.. The red backlight is awesome to look at... and quite helpful The Display is probaby the biggest downside of the laptop...The laptop is almost perfect in everyway... but the display fails to impress..Dont get me wrong... The display good enough for gaming and personal use... But If it had an IPS Panel ... This laptop would've been a product i could've called perfect... The Speakers... Are amazing... Its the best i've heard on a laptop.. The laptop comes with a sub woofer which isnt impressive... but it does perform better than other laptops...and bass is clearer than other laptops where its non existent... but dont expect your table to shake... The GPU is an 860m (Maxwell)... The gpu perform really well...You can run most games in Ultra Settings... and some games like watch dogs can be run in High settings for better fps... Battelfield 4 .. assassincs creed 4 wasnt a problem in ultra... The i7 processor is really powerful...Turbo boost is deactivated when temperatures touch 65C... but honestly... ther performance drop isnt anything to worry about... it performs great.. Battery life is around 4:15 hours...video playback... full brightness... pretty good for a gaming laptop... Overall... im pretty impressed with the laptop... and i'd recommend this over the Y510p which is pretty much the only competition at this price range...
