Lenovo created a balanced bundle. Recently, the Y50-70 proved to be a good entry into the mobile gaming world. Now, the manufacturer put even more performance into the slim case and improved the bundle. The most important change: Lenovo replaced the predecessor"s poor TN display with a good IPS panel with 1080p resolution and matte surface.
In last year"s review, the Y50-70 appeared to be slim, elegant and fast to us. This year brought three hardware updates, including a slightly faster Intel Core i7-4710HQ and a 256 GB SSD instead of an SSHD combination. The biggest change is the Nvidia GeForce GTX 960M, which makes the Y50-70 very powerful. With this combination, the manufacturer wants to create a mixture of gaming and multimedia notebook. Lenovo is selling our model for about 1300 Euros (~$1438). Further models are listed on the manufacturer"s site. Probably the most important options are the slightly faster Intel Core i7-4720HQ, a bigger SSD capacity of 512 GB and a high-res UHD display. The prices of the new models start from 1000 Euros (~$1106). The top model is significantly more expensive at 1500 Euros (~$1659). Please also check the following relevant reviews of the Lenovo Y50:
Although the input devices remained largely the same, we have to cover the touchpad again. It already had slight issues in the previous test. In our model, the incorporated mouse buttons only worked when pressing extremely hard. Despite a click noise often no mouse click is triggered. We cannot tell here whether our test model is defective or whether the whole series is affected.
The Lenovo Y50-70 is a responsive multimedia device with an SSD, 16 GB dual-channel RAM, a fast CPU and a powerful dedicated graphics card from Nvidia. A glance at the specs reveals that our test model can easily cope with multimedia tasks and can even handle games. Most newer games will run at a high quality level. Thanks to its slim build, the Lenovo is also a welcome companion. As mentioned above, those who need slightly more performance can select a faster processor.
In the multi-core test, the new CPU performs hardly better than the already reviewed Y50-70. The performance gain of the Intel Core i7-4720HQ might be worthwhile as we can see in the MSI GE60 and the Acer Aspire VN7. However, a similar Y50-70 with Nvidia GTX 860M performs only 6% better. This is most likely due to Turbo efficiency. The clock rate falls to the standard clock of 2.5 GHz at the beginning and the laptop does not run at Turbo clock. The clock rate does not fall below 2.5 GHz when the test is run multiple times in succession.
An SSD, a high-performance processor, sufficient RAM as well as graphics performance always ensure smooth and responsive operation. Working is absolutely fun with our test model. PCMark 7 confirms our subjective impression. Compared to our previous review, the Y50-70"s score is above 50% higher. Not only the faster hardware is decisive, but also the use of a fast SSD instead of a magnetic hard drive improves things. For the same reason, the similarly equipped MSI GE60 achieves 1000 points less than our test model.
With the used dedicated graphics card of the performance class, the Lenovo Y50-70 is perfectly suitable for gaming. Most games should be playable at high quality settings without big problems. We selected Metro: Last Light as a representative, since it shows the potential of the graphics solution and allows comparison to our last year"s review. Smooth frame rates are possible with maximum graphics settings, while last year"s Y50-70 achieved an unsatisfactory 24 fps with the same settings.
The Y50 deserves praise in terms of system noise. While idle, the test model always remained quiet. Most of the time, the device is even silent and the fans are off. A noise of up to 47.6 dB(A) is first possible in load scenarios. The reached frequencies are not disturbing. Especially while idle, the new Y50-70 is quieter than the already reviewed model. Competitors like the MSI GE 60 are significantly louder, too.
Let"s turn to the temperature development of the case and hardware. While idle and during normal use, the case remains comfortably cool. We could not observe abnormalities during our tests. Quite uncomfortable temperature peaks are first reached when the components are used to capacity. Unfortunately, the maximum of 52 °C is on the top side. The previous Y50-70 got even 8 °C warmer. Overall, these temperatures are uncomfortable for work, but they are only reached during our stress test. We checked the effects of FurMark and Prime95 on the inner components. After a short time, the clock rate falls to the base clock and remains there until the CPU clock has to react to enormous CPU temperatures of up to 98 °C. After a short time at 800 MHz, the clock rate increases to the base clock again.
Our Y50-70 test model proved to be frugal while idle with power consumption between 4.3 W and 10.6 W. For example, the MSI GE 60"s energy demand is almost double as high. This is probably already indicative for a difference in battery life. Our multimedia device requires between 100 and 112.3 W at most. You could think that the power adapter delivers just enough performance with 125 W. However, the battery is discharged during our stress test...
According to our readings, the battery features four cells and a capacity of 55.5 Wh. If you believe in the manufacturer"s claim, the battery life should be up to 5 hours. For a scenario as realistic as possible, we set the brightness to about 150 cd/m² and simulate web surfing. The Y50-70 switches to stand-by after 4 h and 14 min. While the laptop will not last a workday long, watching several episodes of various series is easily possible on a single charge.
Lenovo"s bundle can still be called solid. An elegant and fancy design envelops the powerful hardware inside, which can easily handle everyday multimedia and gaming. Instead of a TN panel, the IPS technology is now used. Nevertheless, the brightness is very low, but other values including contrast significantly improved. A better resolution is available with the optional UHD. The faster CPU is probably not the deciding factor for replacing the old notebook. The new Nvidia graphics card convinces with about 10% higher performance in the benchmarks and also with smoother frame rates for gaming. Fortunately, the improved performance is not at the expense of emissions. Quite the contrary: low fan noise and surface temperatures are a positive development. However, the battery life remained unchanged.The Lenovo Y50-70 is an interesting multimedia and gaming notebook with an affordable entry level price of about 1000 Euros (~$1106).
Here"s looking at you, kid. Following the current trend of outfitting gaming laptops with ultra-high-resolution displays, Lenovo has launched the Y50-70 Touch. Priced at $1,499, the Y50-70 Touch adds a 3840 x 2160-pixel touch panel to the Y50"s chassis. To further justify the price increase, Lenovo has upgraded the processor and storage, which translates into a small bump in performance. All of this is nice, but like its Y Series brethren, the Y50-70 is plagued with a bulky frame and short battery life, keeping it from being realistically portable.
The Y50-70 Touch has the same black aluminum chassis as the regular Y50. I"m still a fan of the understated black lid with its delicate crosshatching and the black diamond-cut Lenovo logo. It"s a great choice for gamers looking to avoid the Close Encounters of the Third Kind light show that"s typically associated with gaming notebooks.
Lenovo wisely outfitted the Y50-70 Touch"s interior with a luxurious soft-touch finish. Not only does it make for a more comfortable palm rest, but it adds a bit of visual and tactile diversity. The top of the deck features a thick, glossy black band that holds the side-mounted black-and-red speaker grilles. The red backlit keyboard is the visual centerpiece of the notebook, drawing the eye with its seductive glow.
Weighing 5.6 pounds and measuring 15.23 x 0.37 x 0.9 inches, the Y50-70 Touch is on the heavier side of the spectrum. It"s a full pound heavier than the Maingear Pulse 15 (4.6 pounds, 15.4 x 10.5 x 0.75 inches). The Razer Blade 14 (13.6 x 9.3 x 0.7 inches) is even lighter, at 4.4 pounds. The Y50-70 Touch is nowhere as heavy or thick as the Gigabyte P25X, which is 6.2 pounds and 15.43 x 10.35 x 1.51 inches.
When I reviewed the original Y50, I recommended springing for the Ultra HD edition. Not so much now. The Y50-70 gets bumped up from a nontouch 1920 x 1080p display to a 3840 x 2160p touch panel. However, the higher resolution did not translate into the bright, vivacious vistas I had hoped for. Instead, the display was darker than I expected, casting a shadow over what should have been rich, deep color.
The laptop measured 87.2 percent on the sRGB gamut test, which measures color reproduction (100 percent is preferred). The Y50-70 Touch color scored 2.7 on the Delta-E test (0 is the best result), which beat the 6.8 mainstream average. However, it wasn"t enough to conquer either the Blade 14 (1.5) or the P25X (0.5).
At least the 10-finger capacitive touch screen provided smooth and responsive action, allowing me to quickly highlight objects and open and close apps.
The strings on Chrisette Michele"s "Super Chris" were light and airy, complementing the singer"s bright, somewhat twangy vocal. The bass was fat yet balanced, allowing me to hear all the elements of the track in equal measure. While Lenovo was thoughtful enough to include Dolby Digital Plus software on the laptop, I found that highs and mids became slightly distorted with the technology enabled.
The Y50-50 Touch notched 88 decibels on the Laptop Mag Audio Test, matching the Blade 14 and skating by the 87 dB average. The Pulse 15 hit 91 dB, while the P25X delivered 84 dB.
Click to EnlargeThe Y50-70"s full-size island-style keyboard remedies some -- but not all -- of the wrongs of the previous Y-series laptop. I was particularly fond of the bright-red backlighting that allowed me to use the laptop in a dark setting.
Click to EnlargeIt"s nice that Lenovo included a full number pad, but not that it did so at the expense of other keys. The Backspace and right Shift keys are undersized. With the numpad positioned so close to the rest of the keys, I found myself repeatedly hitting Num Lock instead of Backspace.
I had an easier time using the 4.2 x 2.8-inch Elan touchpad, which delivered smooth, unfettered movement as I navigated websites and documents. Windows 8.1 gestures, such as swiping between apps, were seamless, as were multitouch gestures, such as pinch-zoom, two-finger click and four-finger flick.
After the laptop streamed 15 minutes of a full-screen Hulu video, the touchpad measured 78 degrees. The space between the G and H keys and the bottom of the laptop were much warmer, at 100 and 102 degrees, respectively. Both temperatures exceed the Laptop Mag 95-degree comfort threshold.
I took another measurement after spending 15 minutes slaying zombies and ghosts in Castlevania. The touchpad actually dropped slightly, to 77 degrees, while the space between the G and H keys leapt to 111 degrees. The laptop"s undercarriage was a tad hotter, at 112 degrees.
Click to EnlargeThe Y50-70 Touch"s 720p integrated webcam does a great job of catching color -- I"ll give it that. My skin looked warm and radiant, and my royal-blue shirt really popped. When it came to detail, however, the camera left much to be desired. My locks looked like fuzzy blobs, and the silver stripes on my shirt looked distorted. It was also hard to make out the text on the whiteboard behind me.
Click to EnlargeThe Lenovo Y50-Touch is outfitted with an Nvidia GeForce GTX 860M GPU with 2GB of VRAM. It"s not the most powerful dog in the fight, but it can definitely hold its own. As I made my way through the cursed halls of Bernhard castle in Castlevania at native resolution (3840 x 2160p), the Y50-70 chugged along at 29 fps.
On the World of Warcraft benchmark, the Y50-70 Touch achieved a frame rate of 67 fps at native resolution on Autodetect, beating the 35 fps average. However, it wasn"t a match for either the Blade 14 (3200 x 1800p) or the Pulse 15 (2880 x 1620p), which reached 100 fps and 155 fps. The P25X got 293 fps, but it only has a 1080p display.
With the settings switched to Ultra, the Y50-70 Touch pulled down 39 fps, topping the 19 fps average. Still, the Lenovo wasn"t a match for the Blade 14, Pulse 15 or P25X, which obtained 65 fps, 94 fps and 140 fps, respectively.
On the BioShock Infinite test, the Y50-70 Touch scored 96 fps at 1900 x 1200p on Low, defeating the 58 fps average. The Blade 14 and the Pulse 15 were neck and neck, at 120 fps and 128 fps at 1080p, while the P25X notched 151 fps.
Cranking the settings up to High caused the Y50-70 Touch"s frame rate to drop to 42 fps, sailing past the 23 fps average. However, that wasn"t enough to beat the P25X (65 fps), the Pulse 15 (54 fps) or the Blade 14 (51 fps).
For our torture test, we ran the Y50-70 Touch through the very demanding Metro: Last Light benchmarks. The laptop posted 63 fps at 1900 x 1200p on Low, easily hurdling over the 40 fps average. The P25X hit an impressive 86 fps at 1080p, the Pulse 15 obtained 76 fps and the Blade 14 delivered 70 fps.
At the highest settings, the Y50-70 Touch frame rate dropped to 16 fps. That"s better than the 9 fps average, but below the Laptop Mag 30 fps playability threshold.
Similar to other Nvidia-equipped laptops, the Y50-70 Touch features the GeForce Experience app, which includes several features meant to enhance gameplay and endurance.
Click to EnlargeLenovo outfitted the Y50-70 Touch with a 2.5-GHz Intel Core i7-4710HQ CPU, which packs quite a punch. The laptop had no problem streaming the latest episode of Sailor Moon Crystal while running a full system scan with 12 tabs open in Mozilla Firefox, Internet Explorer and Google Chrome.
On the Geekbench 3 test, which measures overall performance, the Y50-70 scored 12,748, beating the 8,429 mainstream category average. The Maingear Pulse 15, which also has a 2.5-GHz Intel Core i7-4710HQ processor, got 13,073. The Gigabyte P25X and its 2.8-GHz Intel Core i7-4810MQ CPU hit 14,124, while the Razer Blade 14"s 2.2-GHz Intel Core i7-4702HQ CPU produced 11,928.
The Y50-70 Touch"s 256GB SSD booted Windows 8.1 in 13 seconds, matching the Pulse 15 (dual 128GB SSDs in SuperRAID configuration with a 1TB 7,200-rpm hard drive) and beating the average of 20 seconds.
During the File Transfer Test, the Y50-70 Touch duplicated 4.97GB of mixed media files in 2 minutes and 17 seconds, for a transfer rate of 37.1 MBps. That"s well below the 78.1 MBps mainstream average. The Blade 14 scored 154.2 MBps, while the Pulse 15 and P25X raced ahead with 154.2 MBps and 299.4 MBps, respectively.
For the OpenOffice Spreadsheet Macro Test, our team has the laptop match 20,000 names with their corresponding addresses. The Y50-70 Touch completed the task in 3 minutes and 59 seconds, which is much better than the 5:28 average.
If you"re planning to take your gaming on the road, make sure to pack the Y50-70"s power cord. The laptop lasted a disappointing 3 hours and 40 minutes on the Laptop Mag Battery Test (continuous Web surfing over Wi-Fi at 100 nits of brightness). That"s well short of the 7:18 mainstream category average and the original Y50"s time of 4:46.
Click to EnlargeLenovo"s usual lineup of utilities includes OneKey Recovery System, which allows you to create a backup image file of your hard drive in case of a crash. Lenovo Support provides links to a User Guide, Hints and Tips, Knowledge Base, and Discussion Forum. The Settings app compiles important settings (Wi-Fi, Airplane Mode, Microphone, Keyboard LED and Touchpad) into an easy-to-use control panel.
My review unit of the Lenovo Y50-70 Touch costs $1,499 and is configured with a 2.5-GHz Intel Core i7-4710HQ CPU, a 256GB SSD, an Intel Graphics 4600, and Nvidia GeForce GTX 860 with 2GB of VRAM. The $1,299 base model has the same specs except for the 1TB 5,400-rpm hard drive with a 8GB SSHD instead of the SSD. Lenovo also offers a model with a 512GB SSD and 4GB of VRAM, for $1,499.
Click to EnlargeWhen you see that a notebook has a 3840 x 2160p display, you expect brilliant color with precise detail. But the view on the $1,499 Lenovo Y50-70 Touch is rather...meh. The laptop offers respectable mid-level performance with a rather elegant-looking chassis and a comfortable keyboard.
Overall, the Y50-70 Touch can"t hold a candle to better-equipped models that don"t cost that much more. For example, the $1,649 Gigabyte P25X offers beastly graphics with more than 7 hours of battery life. You"ll have to give up some portability and "settle" for a 1080p display, but I"m willing to make those trade-offs.
