    I bought the Legion Y540 with the 512GB SSD variant with 8GB ram and Core i5 at around 56k INR (about 650 EUR or 755 USD)
    So I've been using this laptop extensively for the past 9 months or so and here's a list of things that I've noticed.
    Pros-
    For the price, you get a pretty beefy laptop. The specs are pretty good. It has a Samsung NVME M.2 SSD so it boots up within seconds (4 seconds last time I checked) and is quite quick. I love the fact the majority of the ports are on the backside (including a USB-C), allowing for a neater and more organised setup.
    The inbuilt keyboard on this laptop is really nice to type and the backlit lights work nicely, I type a lot and at around 80wpm and I was able to adjust to this keyboard quite quickly.
    If you're not satisfied enough with the specs and want to upgrade it, it's really easy to do so, I've installed an additional 8GB ram stick (Crucial RAM 8GB DDR4 2666 MHz) and it works perfectly. I'm also looking forward to installing an additional 2.5in SSD. Lenovo doesn't void the warranty if you choose to upgrade, which is really nice.
    The Lenovo unboxing experience was really nice, and on first-time usage, there was not a bunch of bloatware pre-installed applications (unlike ASUS *cough*) and it's just typically Macfee app as well as the Lenovo vantage which I do in fact use a lot and find really helpful.
    I love the built quality and the design of this laptop, It's sleek and elegant. It doesn't have the gamer-ish look to it but this black Legion looks quite professional, classy look to it, which I find far more appealing. Despite being completely made out of plastic, the body feels quite rigid and with minimal flex. The laptop screen opens up nicely and to a full 180. The hinge is quite strong and feels reliable. I've had no issues with gaming so far, it runs most games like a charm. CSGO, GTA V, Warfare all run at smooth frame rates with no noticeable lag. I use Blender a lot too and I haven't noticed any issues with rendering.
    The laptop has pretty good cooling and I haven't noticed it overheating at all. (I use a laptop stand, which elevated it just a bit which helps a lot with the cooling.)
    Cons-
    The first major drawback of this laptop is its battery. It has a terribly short battery life despite turning off the backlit keyboard and limiting the CPU usage. Meaning, you will need to carry the rather heavy charging supply for this laptop where ever you go. This is not ideal as the laptop and the charging supply are both quite heavy.
    The keyboard as mentioned is really nice when typing, however, I've noticed it gets really dirty quite quickly if you're not careful and the keycaps are made of ABS plastic meaning it gets a bit glossy over time due to the oils present in the finger which is really annoying and I suggest getting a keyboard cover to deal with it or use an external keyboard instead.
    The camera isn't the best, it's located at the bottom of the screen which gives it a weird angle.
    I have faced some software issues, like the keyboard not working in the windows login and some others with WiFi and Bluetooth but I think that that's just a Windows 10 and Microsoft problem.
    The 512GB storage capacity might not be enough for a lot of people. So you would need to add an additional HDD or 2.5in SSD or a hybrid drive.
    Side notes-
    The camera is located at the bottom of the display, which might be an inconvenience to some people but I really like the fact the top bezel is very thin and I don't use the camera all that much.
    The screen is decent. It's 1080p with a 60hz refresh rate, however, considering that its max brightness is only at 250nits it might be annoying to work outside. I might just end up replacing the screen with a better one with 300nit brightness and a faster refresh rate (120hz or 75hz).
    I don't use the touchpad often and instead, use my own external mouse ( Razer Deathadder) and I highly recommend you do too, laptop touchpads are not the greatest and a mouse is a really worthwhile investment.
    UserBenchmarks Performance Results-
    UserBenchmarks: Game 37%, Desk 87%, Work 31%
    CPU: Intel Core i5-9300HF - 79.2%
    GPU: Nvidia GTX 1650 (Mobile) - 42.3%
    SSD: Samsung MZVLB512HBJQ-000L2 512GB - 208.2%
    RAM: Ramaxel RMSA3260ME78HAF-2666 1x8GB - 44.6%
    MBD: Lenovo 81SY
    Overall, my final thoughts after 9 months of usage. Would I have chosen to buy a different laptop instead? No, based on this price range, I think it's one of the best one's out there. If my budget was a little bit higher, I'd get the Legion 5 or ASUS Zephyrus. The look and the feel of this laptop are very nice and I'm quite happy with the product so far.

    i've been using the 17" i7gen9 1660ti version from october 2019, still works perfectly in 2023, no complaints (you won't be playing new games on ultra settings but i don't really need to). I have been a desktop pc user all my life, this was the first laptop i bought and the experience was so good that i'm not going back to desktops any more. So far it has 8629 power on hours (359 days), so for me it's basically a portable desktop computer that i can bring with me if i unplug all the external stuff.
