I find myself watching videos that Lisa produces even when I have no real interest in purchasing the product. I think it has something to do with the tidal wave of knowledge and genuine comparisons that keeps me coming back. There are always points that she brings up that I completely agree with, yet, never thought about myself. Keep up the quality work! I certainly appreciate it. ps. not in the market for a Lenovo legion anytime soon lol
Hey Lisa, I don't think I have ever left a comment, but just wanted to let u know that I have been watching for years and I find that you have the most enjoyable in depth tech review channel. Thank you and ur team for all your hard work!
I've been looking around for a new laptop, and wherever i look on youtube, i always seem to come back to your channel. Reviews are consistently good, and all the information I'd want to know is in them. You definitely deserve some more subs! Thanks!
Whoa, i did not know that Lenovo is doing Gaming Laptop thing too. Really glad that i keep watching MobileTechReview channel. One of my favorite channel about laptop. Thank you for the info though.
Thank you Lisa for your thorough reviews! Always high quality and bringing laptops with names like "Y520" to our attention. I've always enjoyed your reviews and appreciate the work that you do.
Aaa! While looking for reviews of the Lenovo y520 (which I'm now set on buying, as it's the best laptop I can find available here within a 200 Euro/Dollar range) I found this video, and the way you review laptops and other mobile tech just seems so nice! Subscribed!
Thanks for reviewing these affordable laptops! Good job on the different angles on your reviews, they really help with perception of what feels like to own the device :)
I love your videos!!! I'm not even in the market for a laptop, but you're videos are I formative and I feel like if I don't watch, I will miss something!!! Keep up the great work!!!
I've been looking for a overall good gaming laptop in this price range and I think this one has the best value for the money and I was just waiting for your review since I watched the comparison video you made mentioning this one alongside other three options, and said that you were about to do a full review of it. Now is finally here, as informative and detailed as always. Showing us the level of professionalism you have. Now I have confirmed the good and bad things of this device. I really love your channel and I really wish more people know it. Congratulations and keep going on! You're amazing!
Just wanted to say thank you for your videos, you are my go-to notebook reviewer! Always very detailed and you can learn everything about the daily usage of a product, so thanks :)
Just ordered this an hour ago after looking at some videos. I'm due to a new one, I have the Alienware 14 and ran a few problems after getting the laptop. Getting a new Battery, power cord, internal hard drive, just to name a few. I really hope this laptop well be a good investment seeing the price of it.
n00bfish believe it or not, the customer base of these gaming laptops actually like their accents and the color red. Simple economics really, its whats in demand so manufacturers fulfill that.
Thanks for this wonderful detailed review as always. It helps me narrow down my choices in the 1050 Ti equipped Laptop series. I loved the fact that you criticized the track pad and praised the thermal management Its these little things that help a lot.
This was very helpful and informative. I really love your style of technology reviews, especially all your laptops! I think you convinced me to get this laptop for my gaming needs. Thanks!
Hey Lisa thank you for this review. I am looking forward to buy a budget gaming laptop, and I appreciate all the details and easy to understand explanation that has helped to decide if I want to get this or not. Keep up the work and doing better.
Thanks for your reviews, Lisa. Considered this too, but I just bought the Dell 7567 instead (UHD version) last Sunday. In our country, the 520 was about the same price as the Dell. The Lenovo was ahead with the 256gb ssd, but the Dell was better with a UHD non-reflecting and color accurate LCD and a much longer battery life. The 7567 was using only a 120gb ssd (plus the 1TB HDD). Since I will be using this for video/multimedia editing, color accuracy higher rez (the 520 was 1080p rez and not color accurate) , long battery life was more important (for SDE use). In our country, both cost about U$1,500 taxes included. Will continue watching your reviews. Yours and D2D have been very useful in making my decision process easy! :)
Lisa gade is easily the most underrated TH-cam tech reviewer. I'm seriously thinking of getting this model of Lenovo soon after your review. By the way, please do review of High end Dell precision laptops as I have never seen a proper review of precision laptops in TH-cam.
This channel is always the best place for quality objective and subjective commentary. One thing I think could be done better if the scripts were tighter so the videos would be sweet and concise. Other than that, I can't think of any more improvement areas!
I used to have a Y510p with the quad core i7 and dual gt755m, I loved that thing, it was built like a tank, wonder why Lenovo went with plastic when it's predecessor had a such a good metal chassis.
Legion y720 is only a 15.6" laptop with RGB Keyboard and GTX 1060; there's isn't a 17.3" model present. www3.lenovo.com/us/en/laptops/ideapad/lenovo-legion-y-series-laptops/Legion-Y720-15IKB/p/88GMY700794
Hi Lisa, just to let you know, even though I'm subscribed at your channel, this video doesn't appear in my subscriptions video list. TH-cam is doing a great job lately.
Hey Lisa! Thanks for the review, I've been on the hunt for a new laptop to replace mine which is going on 4 years now and this one seems to fit my needs. I think I might go with the mid spec'ed one since I haven't experienced an SSD on a laptop yet.
I rarely rate reviews or videos so I will make a exeption here. Very good review thanks for a good video! made my choice alot easier to decide what to buy.
Thank you for this review! If you had to pick would you go with this one or Dells 1050 laptop? Keep up the great videos! they really are a highlight to my day when I come home from school and just need to relax
Damn, if it wasn't for the battery life this would be the best budget gaming laptop hands down. I think I'll buy the Dell Inspiron, in spite of its awful display. That 5-6 hours of battery life are a deal breaker for me.
Renato Javier the lenovo here costs 1250$ for the i7 while the dell 7567 costs 1600$. Lenovo it is, but the dell was always my first choice (since it has an ips lcd panel now)
But your fps goes down a shit ton when running on battery so unless I play something very non demanding I always plug in. And technically, it's power consumption is low compared to its competitors with only a few laptops better. All gaming laptops I've owned only last a couple hours on chrome.
I don't think trading screen quality for battery life is a smart move considering you're probably going to keep it plugged in most of the time, it's a gaming laptop for fuck's sake, if you plan on spending much time with it unplugged and doing random shit then you probably should get a regular laptop.
Ik I’m a bit late however I have a version of this 2tb Hard drive 256 ssd 1050ti and a i7 7700k and after almost 3 years of owning the computer I can honestly say that the graphics card and ram is not and at all and can run most games at 60 FPS on high settings however you will definitely need to invest in a cooling bad and the cpu is constantly bottlenecking the gpu, recently I was getting while playing rainbow six siege on highest settings 80-90 FPS however my cpu ended up reaching 100 degrees Celsius and to prevent my cpu from burning out my frames would continuously drop to 20 FPS to cool down the cpu. This was with both fans running and and a cooling pad with 5 fans. I give this product a 3/5 a decent laptop option for gaming however now that I’m more experienced (my first pc) I definitely recommend building your own pc
On the note of the cooling pad, using one with 5 fans shouldn't be much different from using one with 2 fans since there is only a small portion of the bottom that acts as air intake.
Those lucky enough to grab this at Costco earlier this month got the i7-7700HQ with 4GB GTX 1050ti, 16GB of RAM, a 256GB NVMe SSD and a 2TB HDD for only $799.99, which was an absolute steal! I agree with most of what Lisa said, but I think reviewers are being too hard on the screen. The screen is bright, has great viewing angles, and the color is fine for gaming and everyday use. I don't have a problem with the track pad. It's not Macbook quality, but it works (maybe the drivers have improved since Lisa reviewed it). The plastic case is the only thing that feels "cheap" and it's a fingerprint magnet, but it is pretty sturdy, except in the area of the bottom vents. Battery life is okay for my use, but I can understand why others might want more. It's kind of amusing that battery life is even a concern nowadays, when you think about where gaming laptops were just a few years ago. A battery in a gaming laptop used to be little more than a UPS that would give you time to save and shutdown if the power failed. ;-) It comes with the usual bloatware, so I wiped the drive and did a clean install of Windows 10. The default configuration for the NVMe SSD is some funky Intel RAID nonsense, so if you want to do a clean install, go into the BIOS and set the drive to AHCI.
Lisa, can you pls also include the the review of the webcam and mic of these laptops?! I have Lenovo Y50-70 and the mic here is garbage. I always have the problem with sound drivers
Bought the top end (i7, 256ssd, 2tb hdd) from Costco for $999. So far so good. Great price for the machine. Trackpad blows but I always use a mouse so it doesn't bother me. Screen isn't perfect but still good. Definitely recommend at that price.
I just got the i5 7300 with gtx1050. I love everything about this laptop, but I wish I could get the ti version though. In my country (Cambodia) it's hard to get and and only non-ti version is available even the core i7, poor developing country.
I know someone who bought it 4 months ago and now is willing to sell because the money is tight, has no tech issues whatsoever. Would you say it's worth 600 euros ?
Hey Lisa, long time viewer and love the reviews they are always so in depth and informative, I was wondering if you know any good gaming laptops with a GTX 1050 or 1050 Ti with a touch screen for around $1,000? I really like touch displays on my computers now and I can't seem to find any budget gaming laptops that have this feature. Thanks!
Thanks for all your videos. I think the 720 comes with a 1060, and also comes in 15', so there might be more differences. Hopefully you can also review that one. Out of all the ones you mentioned, which one would you recommend? Because of your comment, I take it that you don't like the inspiron, so which one would you pick? the 520 or the acer vx15? Thanks
This Legion series is good for those who want a mid-tier gaming notebook, but don't want to break a bank vault to get a decent laptop. Very good vid Lisa, keep up the good work!
Hey Lisa, first of all I love your videos an the work you put into it. I was actually looking for a gaming convertible that I could use for drawing... and there I see it : The Lenovo yoga 720 15"! I was wondering if you could review it. I've heard of trackpad and screen issues... Which worries me about it, considering I might buy it soon, it is the only convertible with a 1050 in it. Thank you for your work!
This is the one lady that I respect on IT reviews. She is precise and particular on everything. Wish I had a girlfriend as interested as this on IT stuff
I wonder why many people don't recommend to buy 4k gaming laptop. I know that there is no laptop that can run moden games in 4k, but can't l just lower the resolution to fhd? Or it would be too blurred?
Considering i just got the Yoga 710, for gaming and everything, i can see how a better card would greatly boost my fps in games. I wonder how much better a 1050 is VS the 940MX?
So its a lot worse then ;p The 940mx does let me play games on low gfx, and its not a bad card. But.. since i also got a 1070 in my desktop, im not used to turning all the resolution to 1200 (down from 1080p)
Starfals well, I mean if you have a desktop... the 940MX is more suitable for Pro-apps, like Premier Pro, Lightroom, extreme Photoshopping, where it can give a little it of extra punch doing graphically heavy tasks.
thx for the review Lisa, I am thinking of getting one of these for video editing (switching from Mac) and I lack a lot of knowledge when it comes to tech specs...so ... I have two concerns that I would be happy to get a comment on for the y520: 1) fan-noise - would the fans need to run during a video editing project shooting mostly in 1080 60fps and 2,7 60fps .. or would the y520 stay silent ? 2) Display connection: please correct me if I am wrong but the only port out for ext. monitor is the HDMI and I could nowhere find which HDMI it is? - 1.4? 2.0 ? what is it? - for that: what are the resolutions and fps that I can then transport to an ext. monitor? fullHD 60fps doable ? or even 4K ? ... thanks, help is appreciated ( it drives me nuts that its not easily possible to get all info on manufactures homepages)
That battery life is a deal breaker for me. I saw one at Costco and nearly bought it, and seeing it's battery life is only 4 hours sucks. I thought it felt rugged and tough in my hands which is why I liked it so much. 6-7 hours is what I need.
I find myself watching videos that Lisa produces even when I have no real interest in purchasing the product. I think it has something to do with the tidal wave of knowledge and genuine comparisons that keeps me coming back. There are always points that she brings up that I completely agree with, yet, never thought about myself. Keep up the quality work! I certainly appreciate it. ps. not in the market for a Lenovo legion anytime soon lol

lisa I love how in depth and entertaining your reviews are. look forward to the next one.
I watched this video on my lenovo legion y520. This is a good laptop. Can run most of the games on the market, at med-high graphics
whats about the keyboard problem
Is that bad its battery?
Chris Lair welp i got it and its around 3-4hours and you are supposed to buy it for it to be a gaming pc so it stills somewhere plugged in constantly
now the y520 has a gtx 1060 max q 😎
Droppin tech ' on what fps can it run pubg?
Aaa! While looking for reviews of the Lenovo y520 (which I'm now set on buying, as it's the best laptop I can find available here within a 200 Euro/Dollar range) I found this video, and the way you review laptops and other mobile tech just seems so nice! Subscribed!

I must be getting old. Why do these gaming laptops always have to have cheesy red accents? And why always red? What's wrong with the stealth look?
n00bfish believe it or not, the customer base of these gaming laptops actually like their accents and the color red. Simple economics really, its whats in demand so manufacturers fulfill that.
statezero I hate the "gamer" look on gaming laptops. I like gaming laptops with a subdued exterior but with a lot of power under the hood.
statezero Or manufactures *think* this is what we like, and it's only bought because that's all there fucking is.
n00bfish they want to sell these to plebs
yeah i love the sleeper/stealth look on tech and cars. Red accents make everything look so cheap, just like a riced-out car.
got the Acer Aspire VX 15 because of the positive reviews, and I never regret buying it.
Thanks for this wonderful detailed review as always. It helps me narrow down my choices in the 1050 Ti equipped Laptop series. I loved the fact that you criticized the track pad and praised the thermal management Its these little things that help a lot.

Hey Lisa thank you for this review. I am looking forward to buy a budget gaming laptop, and I appreciate all the details and easy to understand explanation that has helped to decide if I want to get this or not. Keep up the work and doing better.
Good in depth review as always, Lisa..! Been looking for affordable gaming laptop, an this Lenovo seems to check all the right boxes :)
bought this laptop but with 1050 2GB config. Already a month, this laptop handles my steam library with no problem.
Mohamed Sharefudden Zainal Abidin hey man is the 2gb weighing u down when playing AAA titles? how does gta run in it?
Just got this for 799 at Costco! Best deal I have ever got! It has the higher config and is still on sale as I'm typing this.

Excellent review as always, very informative and well paced, keep it up Lisa :)
Thank you for another wonderful review, Lisa! Will you be reviewing the Yoga 720 in all its quad-core convertible goodness?
Great review! Best thing is the comparison to competing models from other brands!
Always love your reviews. Thanks Lisa!
Is the fan noise , coil whine , performance and usability as lackluster and disappointing as the Y700 line?
Nice review! I know I have a laptop similar to this and it works very well. Nice job keeping the flow of the words, I know I struggle with that a lot.
Hey Lisa! Thanks for the review, I've been on the hunt for a new laptop to replace mine which is going on 4 years now and this one seems to fit my needs. I think I might go with the mid spec'ed one since I haven't experienced an SSD on a laptop yet.

alcorus86 just get a decent headset..the mic on a laptop always sucks
alcorus86 I went to my local hardware store and took the cheapest (10€) earbuds and people say the mic is decent and they can hear me well
If i watch the specs, it says the gpu is a 1050M. Is this the same as a 1050 Ti???
is there keyboard problems on this lappy...?
I have heard some keys doesn't work...!
Great review, I feel like this would be perfect for me when I go off to college 😁
Bought the top end (i7, 256ssd, 2tb hdd) from Costco for $999. So far so good. Great price for the machine. Trackpad blows but I always use a mouse so it doesn't bother me. Screen isn't perfect but still good. Definitely recommend at that price.
MAV Do you have any problemas with its battery?

I'm in UK, and I still got the 1050 for some reason, but it's not too bad I guess.
Titvirak San did it say 1050m instead of 1050ti? Because i have the same but idk why
And im just dutch
can i ask ? isit 4GB or 8GB ram ?
8GB RAM, 4GB Video RAM
keep up the good reviews! 👍👍
Did lenovo turn off turbo boost when using geforce graphics card like they did on Y50?
is the screen crap quality or is it good enough? I don't really want to have to buy a monitor.
What is the best time of year to buy a computer? When do they give the better discounts?
Lots of good info, thanks Lisa
I like you videos...very straightforward. 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Bought the Lenovo y520 with i7 core. VERY happy with it! it is a beast and cheap!
I know someone who bought it 4 months ago and now is willing to sell because the money is tight, has no tech issues whatsoever. Would you say it's worth 600 euros ?
Yagami Raito YES it is.. i bought mine in Denmark. The price here is 1400 Euros. Best gamer laptop ive owned so far
Try to play 5h+ to get real temp measures. It will raise to 70-85 c
Actually the Y720 that's available currently has a 15.6" screen. 17" ones are supposed to show up later as I understand.
Hey Lisa, long time viewer and love the reviews they are always so in depth and informative, I was wondering if you know any good gaming laptops with a GTX 1050 or 1050 Ti with a touch screen for around $1,000? I really like touch displays on my computers now and I can't seem to find any budget gaming laptops that have this feature. Thanks!
Thanks for all your videos.
I think the 720 comes with a 1060, and also comes in 15', so there might be more differences. Hopefully you can also review that one.
Out of all the ones you mentioned, which one would you recommend? Because of your comment, I take it that you don't like the inspiron, so which one would you pick? the 520 or the acer vx15?
Thanks
Women in tech inspire me so much! New sub! :3
I wish they put the 1050 ti in the y50-70. apart from the hinge (which I've personally never had a problem with), it's just better.
Great video thanks, what Laptop would you recommend for Photography editing without an external monitor.
This Legion series is good for those who want a mid-tier gaming notebook, but don't want to break a bank vault to get a decent laptop. Very good vid Lisa, keep up the good work!
This is love at first sight
this or ideapad y700 ?
Reza Hasiri i would say this, but it depends on the money i think the y700 is cheaper here in sweden atleast
I own this laptop, it is a beast. The only downfall is sound quality as it doesnt get louder at all..
Hey Lisa, first of all I love your videos an the work you put into it.

Hey Lisa do you have plans to review the Lenovo yoga 720 15 " the one with the nvidia gtx 1050m descrete graphics always love your reviews! 😃
Just got this laptop on a Lenovo sale for $718
TANKY WANK how is it good should I buy is it good for Minecraft ?
dude it is perfect for any game to run at 60 fps at high settings
Jose Romero Are you being serious? Most things can run Minecraft.
Jose Romero it will not run Minecraft, more demanding than witcher 3
This laptop looked hella dope until I saw the keyboard. When it's closed, it looks so sleek!
I need a good pc or laptop and this bad boy got into my eye and really impressed me, should I buy it?
Guys i have heard that lenovo y520 have some keyboard issue, i am thinking to buy one but i am scared, can anyone suggest me, to buy it or not?
Great review! Thanks. :)
I ordered a t470p cant wait for it to arrive.

We just got the t470s in for review, BTW.
Cool, look forward to it!. I think it has the proper M.2 slot but I could not spent over £1,500 on a dual core.
For saying "It's red all day long" you just got a subscriber ;)
This is the one lady that I respect on IT reviews. She is precise and particular on everything. Wish I had a girlfriend as interested as this on IT stuff
I wonder why many people don't recommend to buy 4k gaming laptop. I know that there is no laptop that can run moden games in 4k, but can't l just lower the resolution to fhd? Or it would be too blurred?
is this laptop a good choice if I want to use it for digital painting and video editing? I am not going to use it for gaming etc.
Considering i just got the Yoga 710, for gaming and everything, i can see how a better card would greatly boost my fps in games. I wonder how much better a 1050 is VS the 940MX?
Well if the 940MX is worse than the 950 then the 1050 kicks it
So its a lot worse then ;p The 940mx does let me play games on low gfx, and its not a bad card. But.. since i also got a 1070 in my desktop, im not used to turning all the resolution to 1200 (down from 1080p)
Starfals well, I mean if you have a desktop... the 940MX is more suitable for Pro-apps, like Premier Pro, Lightroom, extreme Photoshopping, where it can give a little it of extra punch doing graphically heavy tasks.
Hi Lisa! How would the XPS13 non touch laptop be for outdoor use? Thank you for your reviews!
The Y720 is a completely different laptop than this. It is not a 17" laptop, but a laptop with the GTX 1060.
Awesome Video!
thx for the review Lisa, I am thinking of getting one of these for video editing (switching from Mac) and I lack a lot of knowledge when it comes to tech specs...so ... I have two concerns that I would be happy to get a comment on for the y520: 1) fan-noise - would the fans need to run during a video editing project shooting mostly in 1080 60fps and 2,7 60fps .. or would the y520 stay silent ? 2) Display connection: please correct me if I am wrong but the only port out for ext. monitor is the HDMI and I could nowhere find which HDMI it is? - 1.4? 2.0 ? what is it? - for that: what are the resolutions and fps that I can then transport to an ext. monitor? fullHD 60fps doable ? or even 4K ? ... thanks, help is appreciated ( it drives me nuts that its not easily possible to get all info on manufactures homepages)
dell can be had with IPS 1080p screen now....so along with the battery life and so on....it holds the first place now
Unless you care about typing feel and the huge arrow keys that Lenovo has -- so much better than the keyboard the dell has.
That battery life is a deal breaker for me. I saw one at Costco and nearly bought it, and seeing it's battery life is only 4 hours sucks. I thought it felt rugged and tough in my hands which is why I liked it so much. 6-7 hours is what I need.
How come I have this and it hardly runs any games it overheats and it’s awful
Why is everyone reviewing cheaper Legion Y520 ? Where is the review of Legion Y720 ?
Because Lenovo is sending us Y520 review loaners.
MobileTechReview let them know that people are more interested in 720 than 520 ,so that they will send one review unit..
because IT'S CHEAPER.duffus
That's not how you spell it doofus.
For me aee just the same thing,you could upgrade the gpu anf boom u get a 720 :P
I really love Le Y520. That's why i bought this instead ASUS GL552 series and i review it on my channel :D
