Model upgrade. Despite its slim build, there is plenty of computing power in Lenovo"s gaming laptop. The combination of powerful hardware, 4K screen, and decent connectivity is to make potential buyers curious.

Lenovo offers relatively compact gaming laptops in a 15.6-inch size within its Y50-70 lineup. We previously tested various models from this range, and are now facing a new model that is equipped with a graphics core from Nvidia"s GeForce 900M lineup. To be precise, it is the GeForce GTX 960M. Our report reveals whether the new GPU has any advantages.

Since we have tested several models of the Y50-70, we will not go in-depth about casing, connectivity, input devices, screen or speakers. The corresponding information can be found in the reviews of the Lenovo Y50-70 and Lenovo Y50-70 (59424712).

Since the Y50 does not have a maintenance cover, the casing has to be opened for maintaining/upgrading the hardware. Lenovo has complicated this matter unnecessarily. After all screws have been released from the bottom, the base unit"s tray comes off at three sides by itself. There are no clips. Solely the rear is not released. The fans" covers are part of the bottom tray. Since the tray could not be removed without effort, we did not make any further attempts in order to prevent damaging the casing.

We have previously tested a 4K model of the Y50-70. It features the same Samsung screen as in our present review sample. The rates differ slightly, which is normal. Two identically built screens will never correspond to one hundred percent. The installed Samsung screen can only serve with an average brightness and average contrast.

Lenovo"s 15.6-inch Y50-70 gaming laptop has more than enough computing power for every day, and renders all up-to-date games smoothly. Our review sample is available for approximately 1500 Euros. Lenovo also has many other configurations. The currently lowest priced model from the lineup is sold for just below 800 Euros.

As in the previously tested models of Lenovo"s Y50, Intel"s Core i7 4710HQ (Haswell) quad-core processor is also inside our present review sample. It is a standard mobile processor with a TDP of 47 watts. It has more than enough computing power for all common application scenarios. The installed quad-core processor only provides a slight advantage over dual-core processors in single-thread performance, which is more important for routine use. It can first clearly distance itself in applications optimized for multiple cores.

The CPU operates at a base speed of 2.5 GHz, which can be boosted to 3.3 GHz (four cores), 3.4 GHz (two cores), and 3.5 GHz (one core) via Turbo. The CPU processes single-thread applications at full speed in AC mode. However, the laptop only exhibits the same behavior as its sister models in multi-thread applications, which are only processed at the base speed (2.5 GHz). Thus, the CPU clearly remains behind its potential in multi-thread applications. Laptops from the competition, such as Acer"s Aspire VN7-591G, do not have this problem. The Y50 shows a slightly different behavior in battery mode. The processor begins processing at 800 MHz, and gradually increases that up to 2.8 GHz only to suddenly drop to 800 MHz again. That is then repeated from the beginning.

The system runs smoothly, and we did not encounter any problems. The PCMark benchmark scores are good. However, the Y50 clearly lags behind comparable contenders, such as the Aspire VN7-591G, which also features a 4K screen. It becomes evident here that the processor in Lenovo"s laptop does not utilize its Turbo in the multi-thread tests. Both the Aspire and the Y50 generally score worse than its sister models that have a Full HD screen. When the desktop resolution of the 4K models is reduced to Full HD, the PCMark scores climb to a comparable level. The system performance of our review sample cannot be increased; Lenovo has utilized all possibilities.

The Y50 sports a solid state drive from Samsung. It is a 2.5-inch model with a capacity of 512 GB. The laptop"s owner can use approximately 410 GB of that. The remaining storage capacity is divided among the Windows installation, recovery partition and a partition for the Y50"s drivers and applications. The SSD can serve with overall good transfer rates.

The installed GeForce GTX 960M graphics core is an entry-level model from the GPU upper range. It clocks at a base rate of 1097 MHz, which can be increased to 1176 MHz via Turbo. The GPU"s maximum speed is only a few percent higher than that of the former GeForce GTX 860M graphics core. Since the cores only differ in speed, the 960 core only scores marginally better than its precursor in the 3DMark benchmark. However, the difference between the 960 and 860 models in the Y50 is greater than among the comparable models of Acer"s Aspire VN7-591G lineup. The reason: The GeForce GTX 860M GPUs in the Y50 models do not clock at their maximum possible speeds.

Lenovo"s Y50 is explicitly aimed at gamers. Thus, it is not surprising that it can render all current games smoothly. It is normally possible to select the Full HD resolution and high to very high quality settings. The resolution and/or quality level has to be reduced in some games, for example "The Witcher 3". The frame rates are only slightly higher than that of laptops equipped with a GeForce GTX 860M graphics core. However, the advantage over 860 models of the Y50 is greater, like in the 3DMark benchmarks, because the GeForce GTX 860M GPUs in the Y50 models do not clock at their maximum possible speeds.

The screen"s maximum resolution (3840 x 2160 pixels) can only be fully utilized in rare cases. This option is at most possible in games that only have moderate hardware requirements. The Y50 only achieves just below 70 fps in the benchmark of the game "Dirt Rally" in very low quality settings. The rates drop to 25.3 fps in medium and 22.8 fps in high settings.

It sometimes happens that the fans in the Y50 are inactive, and then not a noise is heard. However, the fans usually spin at a low speed. It should not be surprising that they speed up under load; after all, the laptop features high-performance hardware. We measured a noise level of 49.2 dB during the stress test, which is an acceptable rate in this performance category.

The Y50 performed the stress test (Prime95 and Furmark run for at least one hour) differently in AC and battery mode. The processor clocked at 2.5 GHz and the graphics core at 1085 MHz in AC mode. They were throttled to 1.4 to 1.5 GHz (CPU) and 836 (GPU) in battery mode. The laptop"s temperatures are acceptable in view of the hardware configuration. Several measuring points on the casing surpassed fifty degrees Celsius.

The energy requirement reached up to 15.9 watts in idle mode - a very low rate for a high-performance gaming laptop. We normally measure rates of over 20 watts from the contenders. Lenovo appears to have the energy requirement well under control. The power consumption climbed up to 115.5 watts in the stress test. That is apparently too much for the 135 watt power supply because the battery was drained during the stress test. This problem did not occur in gaming routine; the laptop consumed approximately 100 watts in this scenario.

The Y50 managed an idle runtime of 6:28 hours. It thus clearly outperforms its rival Acer Aspire VN7-591G (3:36 h). Idle mode is ascertained using Battery Eater"s Reader"s test. The screen is set to minimum brightness, the energy-savings profile is enabled, and the wireless modules are off. The Y50 shut down after 1:24 hours of load. The Aspire (0:58 h) is depleted sooner. The load runtime is checked with Battery Eater"s Classic test. The screen runs in maximum brightness, the high-performance profile and radio modules are enabled.

Lenovo"s laptop stopped our real-life Wi-Fi test after 3:23 hours. Again, the Aspire (2:46 h) lags behind. This test simulates the load induced when websites are opened. The "Balanced" profile is enabled, and the screen"s brightness is set to approximately 150 cd/m². We test the video playback time by running the short movie Big Buck Bunny (H.264 encoding, 1920 x 1080 pixels) in a loop. The wireless modules are disabled, and the screen"s brightness is set to approximately 150 cd/m². The Y50 lasted 3:27 hours. The Aspire (2:56 h) shut down earlier.

Lenovo is quite able to convert the relatively low idle energy requirement in decent battery runtimes for a gaming laptop. The contender Acer is outperformed here. The battery capacity of both laptops ais almost identical (Lenovo: 55 Wh, Acer: 52 Wh).

Lenovo"s Y50-70 59441231 is a 15.6-inch gaming laptop. The installed processor has more than enough computing power for all common application scenarios. The GeForce GTX 960M graphics core renders all current games smoothly. It also produces slightly higher frame rates than the GeForce GTX 860M precursor. It should not be surprising that the laptop reaches relatively high temperatures and produces noise in view of the hardware configuration. The installed 4K screen made a mixed impression. On the one hand, it is a viewing angle stable IPS screen, and on the other, its brightness and contrast could be better. It is rarely possible to use it in in games, and primarily boosts the purchase price. Like its direct contender Acer Aspire VN7-591G, the lack of a maintenance cover has to be criticized. The casing of both laptops has to be opened for replacing or installing a hard drive.All things considered, the present device can be filed under "model upgrade". The only real innovation is the GeForce GTX 960M graphics core. Owners of a laptop with the former GPU do not really have a reason for switching to a GTX 960M graphics core. The performance gain is marginal.

first of all the reason am asking all these questions is because am frustrated i av bought two screens and back case for my laptop due to the flaw lenovo made when creating the touch version of their y50 and now my screen is broken again due to the hinge issue of always popping out the back case.

While the Y50 isn"t the most powerful setup, it can hold its own playing a variety of modern games, like Sniper Elite 3 and Plants Versus Zombies: Garden Warfare. That said, this rig is not equipped to deliver the most consistent experience without tweaking graphics settings. Don"t be surprised to see frames per second dip below 60 consistently in some games. Here"s how the Lenovo Y50 fared with our synthetic tests:

As expected, the the Lenovo Y50 completely crumbled under the weight of Metro: Last Light on Ultra settings, registering just 9.33fps. The super demanding game has brought many laptops to their knees, including the Gigabyte P35W v2, which was not very far off with a 14fps performance. Despite toting a lower-end GPU, the Maingear Pulse 14 rendered the same Metro benchmark test at 11fps, but this can be attributed to its better performing CPU.

This Y50 sits smack the the middle between the Gigabyte P35W v2 and Maingear Pulse 14. Rendering a song of ice and fire in 3DMark"s Fire Strike test, the Y50 put up an admirable 3,650 points. Meanwhile the better equipped P35W v2 put up a score of 4,297 while the Pulse 14 served up 3,363 points.

The Lenovo Y50 also seems to have the worst-performing CPU by far. In the chip-crunching Cinebench test, the laptop"s onboard Intel Core i7 chip only scored 488 points. Both the Gigabyte P35W v2 and Maingear Pulse 14 performed much better on the same test, with 560 points and 577 points, respectively.

The removal of the Ultrabay is both the Lenovo Y50"s reason for existing and its greatest weakness. The older Lenovo Y510 was never the best machine on the market, sporting a single Nvidia GTX 750M. But, thanks to the Ultrabay, the laptop could run two GPUs in SLI. While this rig"s sole Nvidia GTX 860M is no slouch, it"s definitely lacking when it comes to gaming.

Wolfenstein runs at or near 51fps on Ultra, which is great. But in Sniper Elite 3, sniper rounds traveling in slow motion with tons of PhysX computations behind them throw the Y50 off its game, reducing a smooth experience on high settings from 53fps to 39fps.

Regarding the choice of GPU, size is clearly not a problem. The P35W v2 is an even thinner machine with a more gaming-capable Nvidia GTX 870M. For the Y50, the option simply does not exist, for whatever reason. The real shame is that gamers will have to look elsewhere to fill their power needs, and many other companies do not build a chassis as premium as the Lenovo Y50.

I then opened a handful of browser tabs split between Firefox and Chrome, plus piping Google Music on speakers with the volume at 15 percent, and a round of Hearthstone cut short by the laptop"s dead battery. Meanwhile, all of this was done at with the screen brightness set to its near maximum (again a necessity with the Y50"s dull screen).

Coming from a business background, Lenovo is usually good at including helpful business applications. However, the company has a lot of lessons to learn about filling its gaming machine up with unwanted clutter. What you"re looking at here is a mix of useful and unwanted applications to down right junk eating up your storage space.Zinio Online Newsstand – A decent e-magazine reader with access to a wide spread of publications, but it ultimately feels a bit lacking on the touchscreen less Lenovo Y50.

Like this: for a limited time, and while supplies last, DealFisher (via Amazon) has the Lenovo Y50 4K Touch 15.6-inch laptop for $999.99 shipped. Regular price: $1,500.

Oh, and the screen -- this baby"s all about the screen. It"s a 15.6-inch anti-glare touch panel with a native resolution of 3,840x2,160, otherwise known as 4K. Overkill on a laptop? Maybe, but it"s overkill of the best kind.

Bonus deal: While we"re on the subject of games, fans of "South Park" cannot and should not pass this up: Best Buy has South Park: The Stick of Truth for $19.99 (plus tax, but no shipping charge if you opt for in-store pickup). Price elsewhere: $39.99. This seriously hilarious game was one of the highlights of 2014. Ironically, though, it comes on DVD, and the Lenovo Y50 lacks a DVD drive. (If you"re a heavy gamer, you were probably planning to add one anyway, in which case here"s one for just $14.99.)

Bonus deal No. 2: Most of the bargain-basement monitors I share are on the low end of the feature spectrum: no speakers, no HDMI and so on. But today, ta-daaa: Newegg has the Sceptre E248W-1920 24-inch LCD monitor for $119.99 shipped (with free "Super Eggsaver" shipping). Specs include -- can you guess? -- an HDMI input, along with DVI and VGA, and built-in speakers. The warranty is a bit short at one year, but this is still an amazing price on a big monitor.

NVIDIA’s ubiquitous GTX 960M is tasked with driving the display, and as we’ve seen in the past it offers respectable performance. As our benchmark results show, it’s not going to break any world records, and it’s possible to pick up competing 960M-powered laptops for around $ cheaper, such as MSI’s GE62. When this fact is combined with its rather ordinary display, sadly the Y50 70doesn’t quite compete. While the build quality is great, and the SSD size generous, it’s overpriced for a GTX 960M-powered laptop with a questionable screen.

Lenovo"s Legion 5 Pro is the upgraded version of our Elite-listed budget gaming laptop, so we"ve got high hopes for this mid-range machine. It gets off to a good start with its screen, which has an intriguing 16:10 aspect ratio. This gives you ...
