Omg dude I just saw this machine at Costco too! Same price and everything you are describing! I want this so bad but I don't have a job. I need to graduate fast and get this beast.
Laptops like these that have two fans completely runs my laptop over. I have a HP pavilion gaming laptop with a gtx950m, it has one fan and gets to at maximum 79°C with a cooling pad and 100MHz overclock. On stock clock with cooling pad I get around 68°C. Right now I get some fps drops when playing battlefield on 1920x1080p. I'm going to tweak the settings a bit to cool it down to not risk any potential bottlenecks that may cause the problem. My littlebrother recently got a new laptop, a lenovo idea pad 700, same specs like mine: i5-6300hq and gtx950m (but not overclocked) and without cooling pad he gest at maximum 52°C. These temperature are when we play Overwatch.
dude please help me I brought the same as you but they gave me a antivirus card called"kaspersky" it need 20 digits to activate but my card has 25 serial digits
I have the i7 + 1050Ti version and I highly recommend this laptop. As you can see in the review the build quality is not perfect, but it is not too bad either. If you want a good laptop for this price, you need to compromise. If you want to use it mostly for "games and stuff" I think you can chose the i5+1050Ti version. It is cheaper and you won't notice the difference.
im glad ive bought this laptop rather than gl503 ...ive compared those 2 the only downside of lenovo is battery life and screen which is also not that much difference...but performance wise with price this is the best, the cooling especially is outstanding
Very good review! Extremely good performance for the price you pay! From here on, I will only buy gaming laptops with at least two fans. That doulbe fan is required for gaming on 1080p with decent temps and no bottlenecks. I wonder what HP thought about when they made the Pavilion gaming, one fan with gtx950m? Even with stock clockspeed and a cooling pad it almost goes to or maybe even slightly over 70°C. Though I can't complain to much since I didn't buy it, I got it as a birthday present.
Charlie Keyrole I bought a y520 with 1GB HDD and 125MB SSD. I most stuff in the HDD. This way the start up speed is really short, and I have enough space to store stuff! EDIT: I'm an idiot. I meant 1TB HDD and 128 GB SSD
I bought this laptop about a year ago and I received it working really super slow, struggling to open chrome. I sent it back to be checked and they say it doesn't have any problem. It's still the same way, super slow. Is there anything I can do?
Vez well there is an hp omen 15 that is more priced than this with the same graphic card of 1050ti,this one has the same specs but lower price if you want good design go for hp omen
Hey Andrew! Love the videos as usual keep up the good work. By the way there are AMD FX laptops with RX 460 GPU's out on the market finally, will you be reviewing them ?
I like it but I think the laptop would be much better with a 1060 for a tad bit higher price, so that the settings could always be maxed out. IPS on a gaming budget laptop is very impressive though, so I think the good outweighs the bad. Wish there was an RX480 laptop variant since that would work swimmingly with the budget nature of this. Overall I think this laptop is very capable, and it is cheaper if you have never built a Gaming PC and want all peripherals (monitor, keyboard, bluetooth etc). Keep in mind that you can't upgrade anything though, so you get what you pay for.
Andrew Tran An external screen would solve that I guess.. I'm thinking to get Acer predator 15 inch,i saw it can up to 64 gb of ram but nobody done it yet. Any info?
Interested in upgrading from my Y500 since it's starting to slow down; But would it make since to upgrade to this laptop or wait for the new Legion one coming out and hope it's price eventually falls? I'm wanting to play games like Ark Survival but on my current laptop, it just doesn't run smoothly at all. Would this be a good upgrade you think or are there better options that you've tested?
Nice Review. In your opinion which laptop is better; HP Omen 15 (gtx 1050ti), Dell Inspiron 7567 (gtx 1050ti) or the new Lenovo legion Y520 (gtx 1050ti).
i have 3 questions.. first how is the display? i heard that its not that good.. second i also heard that it gets hot quick is that true? lastly if i used a cooler will it make a major difference please don't answer if you don't have the laptop or if your not clear about the answer
Andrew can you do a review of the Asus Vivobook Max x441sa? I really want a full review on this since it is a budget laptop and I can't find reviews on youtube.
An SSD is a solid state drive and it is a memory drive which is easy enough to install and yes it showed in the vid that the lights were completely off
What should I get? An ASUS ROG FX553VD or LENOVO LEGION Y520? Im going to use it as a gaming and editing laptop as well. :) Anyways I love this vid! :D
I bought the same Laptop but it stopped functioning with a short span of 2 months. The engineers that visited said that there was a shot in the IC. Now, I am looking forward to buy a new laptop of the same range and same specs. Which brand would you recommend? Asus,Dell, HP, Lenovo. PS- I am buying this laptop for Graphical designing. Regards, Syed Hasan
why is red and black synonymous with gaming laptops? It looks so edgy. that being said, i do prefer the classier look of this Y520 compared to the acer vx15
Thanks for good rewiev. But becouse of thin screen panel and tough screen hinges, mostly all y520 got blacklight bleed problem. Also while continuning playing i've got throttling. Please help me to choose cheap laptop between dell 7567, acer vx 15, and hp omen 15. It seems only omen got IPS panel. I need your advise. Thx.
This or Asus gl702vm? I am comparing this with the i7 7700HQ, 1 TB HDD and 128 GB SSD and gtx 1050 ti to the Asus gl702vm with the i7 6700 hq, 1 TB HDD and gtx 1060 6GB but people say that laptop heats up a lot both have 16 GB of DDR4 ram someone help please.
I just purchased this laptop and the only problem im running into is my turtle beach px24 is not showing up in my playback or recording devices. I can hear just fine, but my mic is not working. The headset is single jack so it should work. But, I can't find anyone who had the same problem and was able to fix it.
I just purchased this laptop and you have no idea how hard it is to optimize it to work properly,it seems it doesn;t run at max speed in any benchmark/game.It just doesn't take off,fans dont go to max speed,processor same,gpu same it just doesnt seem to work at full speed.I don;t know how to optimize it,I just want to return it and take my money back. I'm running Windows 10 and drivers from Lenovo website as it seems drivers are a problem too,finding the right version etc. Any idea? tnx
i bought y520 today.while installing driver for gtx 1050ti error message * it is not supported by this version of windows * please reply to solve the problem
Hi! I am looking to buy this laptop for abour 1 month. Since it is out of my budget a bit, I really wanna be sure it will make me satisfied. I am architecture student so i need good gpu speed and many cpr threads along with the ssd and ram. so, lenovo y520 i7 + 1050ti suits me perfectly with a best price. ONLY thing I see on internet as disadvantage is cooling system, ppl keep saying it is 'old architecture' and 'not good enogh'. I just wanna be sure I wont experience freezing and processing slowed down after a few hours. So, any recomendation on that? Is it really 'that bad' ? + I dont like design but function>form ^^ :D thnx!!!
Hey i bought a Lenovo Ideapad Y700 14" gamer PC but i dont feel happy about it, as the graphic is pretty bad in my opinion, i like to play runescape, and league of legends and csgo and record. So is this legion laptop the right choice for me ?
+Mangekyo Sharingan Oh yeah. Return it and step up to this model for much better performance. The Inspiron 7567 is a great choice too. Check out my review on it. Thanks for watching 😀
How are you playing BF1 on ultra with avarage of 50-60 fps? That's insane. I have the same laptop and i am getting all those stuttering effects 24/7. Can't even play on low. Any ideas?
Hey does anyone have an issue on gaming laptops where the WASD keys stick when playing games? Does anyone know a fix for this? It's not a massive issue but when playing online games it can be frustrating
YOU HAVE NO IDEA HOW HARD I'VE BEEN LOOKING FOR HANDS ON REVIEWS OF THIS THING!!! THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!

Awesome, how you liking it so far?
No complaints. Definitely getting a lot of bang for your buck with this machine.
Hello bro. Can you send a link for me where I can get the same model,specs on Costco? I've been trying to check it online but it doesn't show any.
Omg dude I just saw this machine at Costco too! Same price and everything you are describing! I want this so bad but I don't have a job. I need to graduate fast and get this beast.
NCR Veteran Ranger it's a great machine. I bought it with the Costco credit card. No interest for 7 months

This was a great laptop review. Good job man. Keep doing more reviews. Looking forward to seeing more from your channel.

Ludwig Harisuo use speed fan and try to increse the fan it will solve e that, or just search who to increse the fan speed ob youtube
That was my plan, speeding up the fan a bit
I tried to follow a few tutorials on how to use it but it didn't work, so I have to try something else.
Ludwig Harisuo you tryed with the preogram speed fan?
Both speedfan and notebook fan control
Nice review. I know the smaller number pad is not optimal, but as a lefty, the large stand alone arrow keys is huge!
dude please help me I brought the same as you but they gave me a antivirus card called"kaspersky" it need 20 digits to activate but my card has 25 serial digits
Little late to this but I order this about 2 days ago. Got it for $780. Can't wait for it to arrive.
I have the i7 + 1050Ti version and I highly recommend this laptop. As you can see in the review the build quality is not perfect, but it is not too bad either.

Really helpful review, thanks!
great video as always 👍
Dell website has listed the 5000 gaming series with Rx 460 / gtx 1050,could you review them ?
Yes, I plan on getting one in soon. Thanks for the support. 😀
im glad ive bought this laptop rather than gl503 ...ive compared those 2 the only downside of lenovo is battery life and screen which is also not that much difference...but performance wise with price this is the best, the cooling especially is outstanding
Very good review! Extremely good performance for the price you pay! From here on, I will only buy gaming laptops with at least two fans. That doulbe fan is required for gaming on 1080p with decent temps and no bottlenecks.

I ordered this Laptop and hope that this was a good choice .
Sorry for my english ;)
Y520 or y700 " not y720" for video and photo editing?? Am worried cuz of y520 color accuracy please opinions
I saw it In a famous store and online store in my country and it says that it is 2 TB HDD and 16 GB ram
there is 2 models the the one with i7 and i5 your talking about the i7
khaled barakat
Aha okay thx 👌🏻
hdd is bullshit, get a ssd my friend
Well is it really better to have 256GB SSD than to have a 1TB HDD? I mean I can barely fit anything on a 256GB disc
Charlie Keyrole I bought a y520 with 1GB HDD and 125MB SSD. I most stuff in the HDD. This way the start up speed is really short, and I have enough space to store stuff!
EDIT: I'm an idiot. I meant 1TB HDD and 128 GB SSD
what about its keyboard problem that the ppl are facing??
Yahya Ayman what problem? There’s a problem!?
I bought it and am facing no problems
Random question - where did you get that cute little potted plant?..I want to buy it so bad.
Don't they have those at IKEA? :o
ArjanHier Imma check!
I bought this laptop about a year ago and I received it working really super slow, struggling to open chrome. I sent it back to be checked and they say it doesn't have any problem. It's still the same way, super slow. Is there anything I can do?
i have the lenovo legion y520-hc $1690, on the games i own the fps i get are:
csgo: 200-250
rust: 150
PUBG: 100
do remember to review the y720 (i guess?) with the gtx 1060!
Would you recommend this laptop or HP Omen 15? I really can't decide between these two.
Vez well there is an hp omen 15 that is more priced than this with the same graphic card of 1050ti,this one has the same specs but lower price if you want good design go for hp omen
great review btw!
Thanks Charles. :)
I just ordered it
Hey Andrew! Love the videos as usual keep up the good work. By the way there are AMD FX laptops with RX 460 GPU's out on the market finally, will you be reviewing them ?
What up bro. Yeah, I plan on getting some of those AMD FX laptops soon. Thanks for the support, I appreciate it. 😀

Most important question. What are temperatures cpu-gpu in gaming 1h+ ???
Is it good for editing/video processing of raw footage and stuff?
Good review!
Oh yeah. Only knock is the screen is not super accurate. Besides that it has the horsepower for it.
Andrew Tran
An external screen would solve that I guess..
I'm thinking to get Acer predator 15 inch,i saw it can up to 64 gb of ram but nobody done it yet.
Any info?

how much performance boost will be for the i7 version? im very not sure if i7 is worth for gaming (concern to heat, price).
MING C Not big difference between the Procesors I recommend I5 only if u want editing I7
thx for the reply!
MING C Your Welcome!
Tigermenace you can edit with an i5

Thank you

Nice Review. In your opinion which laptop is better; HP Omen 15 (gtx 1050ti), Dell Inspiron 7567 (gtx 1050ti) or the new Lenovo legion Y520 (gtx 1050ti).
Is this worth buying now 2022?
I wish it had a subwoofer for better sound and bass, it's the same as MSI GS43VR they have weak speakers.
i have 3 questions.. first how is the display? i heard that its not that good.. second i also heard that it gets hot quick is that true? lastly if i used a cooler will it make a major difference please don't answer if you don't have the laptop or if your not clear about the answer

Andrew can you do a review of the Asus Vivobook Max x441sa? I really want a full review on this since it is a budget laptop and I can't find reviews on youtube.
What does ‘upgrade to an SSD’ mean? Is an ‘SSD’ some kind of memory stick? Also, is it possible to turn the red lights off altogether?
An SSD is a solid state drive and it is a memory drive which is easy enough to install and yes it showed in the vid that the lights were completely off
poorly cookie thank you! I commented too quickly about the lights! :)
I just bought it for 400 used on ebay. This is nice.

did you test the noise with or without extreme cooling? important detail.
why is red and black synonymous with gaming laptops? It looks so edgy. that being said, i do prefer the classier look of this Y520 compared to the acer vx15
Thanks for good rewiev.
But becouse of thin screen panel and tough screen hinges, mostly all y520 got blacklight bleed problem. Also while continuning playing i've got throttling.

Explain it to me like I am an idiot, what does "the base model with 1TB is painfully slow" mean at 1:20 ?
In Italy cost 1000 1100 €
zDarkOrizon But with i7,1050 ti, 16 ram that is good for what they give you
How big is the difference between this GTX 1050ti and a normal GTX 1050 paired with the same i5-7300HQ?
Alexandru Ciuhat 30-60fps about
lol that's not true at all. 1050 is certainly less good. still will do the trick. It gives you about a 20 to 25 % less performance
Teun lll ya but you will see about a 30fps difference
What about for waiting videos?
Hey does anyone have an issue on gaming laptops where the WASD keys stick when playing games? Does anyone know a fix for this? It's not a massive issue but when playing online games it can be frustrating
