I love this channel. Lon is straight to the point and he's informative without being gimmicky. I've learned much watching this channel. Keep up the good work.
I appreciate most of the I/O being on the back but not the webcam position or the gigantic power brick. I've seen the 15-inch Y540 with the RTX 2060 and a 1 TB SSD available as open box excellent condition for less than $1,000 at B&H. At that price, it's a really solid option.
Great review, thank-you !
You make some of the best tech videos you are easy to understand and you waste no time you deserve 5 million subscribers
keep up the good work lon !
Lon...your channel has given me immense joy in the past few years.I have purchased lots of electronics based off your reviews and I trust your reviews whole heartedly.Thank you for producing high quality video reviews and remaining true to your subscribers.Just wanted to say a big thank you to you.Wishing you the best of health,happiness and luck.
I have to agree with you, he makes really nice, structured, to the point reviews. He has just sold me on this Lenovo laptop, I'm just waiting for the right price, perhaps on black friday or after Christmas sales.
i have a y530 whit a gforce 1050 and i use ZORIN OS 15.1, it´s the best for nvidia GPU on these laptop.
before i was using mint, solus, feren and i had so many problems whit the graphic card and wireless.
Now whit zorin it´s perfect 99,5% of the time :)
keep the greats reviews.
Thanks
Lon you don't always have to review tech your video on slow internet was probably the most important. Most of use are not as inclined to know that stuff cause of working in different fields. The quarantine is giving us a chance to catch up with your help. Thank you
I currently have a 4-5-year-old 17-inch Ideapad Y700, and if it were to fail me, I'd totally go for this one. Definitely my kind of laptop. I wish there were a bit more competition in the mid-tier 17-inch gaming laptop market though, but at least it's nice to see Lenovo consistently nailing it. Big screen, good I/O, good performance, doesn't feel cheap, no surprisingly un-upgradable components (like soldered RAM), reliable, and doesn't break the bank.
Thanks for the comprehensive review. How bad is the screen flex? It has been critiqued in many other reviews.
Hell ya you can. There's a sale on it on Micro Center for just over 1K. Crazy good deal!
You didn't mention the gpu temperature under the load and did not capture the infrared thermal screen shot. Guess because the gpu temp goes up north of cpu
About to purchase the y540-15” with upgraded RTX2060 For $1200 off Lenovo & 2 year warranty included.... hopefully I don’t regret it. HP Omen was not for me so I’m returning that baby tomorrow. Super excited.
Whered you buy it?
@@freshofftheboat66 lol
So did u regret it?
Hello, a really nice video. I am just searching for a gaming laptop and this Lenovo made it to the final selection. Just a quick question, the one with 1660 Ti is cheaper here by 3000 CZK (approx. 125 USD). Are those RTX features really worth it? Will not I have to turn them off anyway to get more power? 2060 is the lowest of RTX series. Thanks.
The best way to describe this content is pleasingly decent
Good video👍
What about color accuracy please ?
It's not a gaming computer but I've been using MX Linux on an older Thinkpad that has discrete graphics.
To the point , Mux switch, iheard it runs optimus. But can you disable it ?
i bough the 15.8 inch version and i rly regert it.. 17.3 much better if the laptop is your main pc, with children and wife laptop is the best option for u as gamer
Just running this up the flag pole. What about using WSL to run linux. I have read some good things about WSL 2.0 which is available on the Microsoft developers channel and will be available to everybody when the next feature release of Window comes out in May of 2020.
I wanted to reach out to you about another computer you reviewed but thought might message might get lost in the comments. Have you done a followup to the Lenovo A940 system other than when it was new? I have it coming soon with 32GB RAM, same specs as before. Thanks if you can respond. :) Nice channel.
I haven't as generally I have to return them shortly after the review. I think you'll do well with that configuration.
@@LonSeidman THANK YOU! I'm going to join your Facebook group and I am a subscriber here for current news.
Just bought this for 1200$ inc 2 years of @home service.
-17,3" 144 hz, rtx 2060, intel i 9750h, 256gb m2 ssd,
Going to undervolt cpu and gpu, repaste, and cap games to 120/60fps (depens on type of game)
Undervolting y540 is not yet possible since plundervolt patch? I m not sure of that.
Where ???
@@johannmerlin4397 still working, i`m using Intel Extreme Tuning Utility shaving 0.15 volts of the cpu (will differ from one laptop to another)...repasting didn`t do anything for me , seems like the factory paste was very good too...MSIafterburner for the gpu
Thanks
What about DSSL 2.0?
Can you try it with Manjaro Linux please? :)
hdmi is 7.1 surround sound ???
subbed
I love how you neantion the fact of using gaming rigs to be your production powerhouse because back in February of 2017 I decided the hell with it and do the same... So my impulsive ass dropped $2,400 in a brand new Alienware - A17R4 with the 1TB HD an 512GB SamSung 970 EVOPlus M.2 V-NAND SSD with 32GB HyperX 2900 Ram and what was long back then the GTX 1070 buttttt I'm wondering if I'd be able to update the GPU to an RTX 2070?? Gahhh I'm doing upgrades right now due to a SoDIM slot crapping out and now wanna try and upgrade wherever possible since it's out of warranty now and pretty much on the end of its life cycle in terms of performance u can get out of what it's got. Hopefully you may have some thought on what to incorporate? My studio is in shambles right now but should be operational after this weekend's end so keep doing what you do good sir and I'll be here for the moral support lurking in the shadows where I await for goddies to drop on your channel 🤣😂👍
I'm looking everywhere and want to know can it run the valve index and play half-life alyx, the walking dead saints and sinners and vrchat at atleats 60 fps
How is that mid-range maybe the price is a mid-range price but the cpu and gpu is the best combination, and I'm not saying that it wouldn't be better with an i7 tho
Nice vid also.
Nice one
Are gaming laptops typically faster than non-gaming laptops?
Generally yes, for non graphical tasks it will depend more so on the CPU than GPU
@@kregg34 can I install red dead redemption 2 on this laptop??????
how in the world gta 5 max settingin 1080p runs at 24 fps on rtx 2060?
Watch in on the same Laptop
Honestly, its never wise to game on a laptop without it being plugged in for charging. I mean no matter how powerful they brag their specs / power life, graphics intensive game drains battery extremely fast for laptop and can risk overheating.
haha too late for me :( I should have bought a desktop pc
if you want to try Linux on gaming laptop , you can use pop OS.
Yes it is. Pop OS from system76
Is this laptop a good choice to edit videos on 4k?
hell yeah
Does it have a backlight bleeding?
yes
Does the rtx matter when you use this model for adobe programs like lightroom vs 1660i*
No mostly for gaming although I'm sure there will be some photoshop plugins that might make use of the raytracing features at some point.
Coz I'm considering buying the y540 with rtx 2060 for work from home mostly for multimedia, and slight gaming. Which asus tuf/rog can i compare this with. Sorry I'm not tech savvu
Savvy*
Finally a Amarican review fucking hell
Bro,Can U or anyone tell me it's specs and what is it's price in 2021?
I bought one on Amazon. 15 inch 32 gb for around $1500
I have this laptop my brother have older version 15 inch they cost 1500 eur
Go see Linus Tech Tips video called "Microsoft Should be VERY Afraid - Noob's Guide to Linux Gaming" that shows to to install PopOS a linux distro made for gaming
that camera position is horrid.
RM1178 I know! I have a Lenovo Yoga & I don't use the camera.
I'd rather have no camera at all than one that looks up my nose.
For god sakes I wish they would leave the num pad off. Kind of silly for a gaming laptop.
I just bought one for 750 dollars
Where
Bruh I spent £1200 for the RTX 2060 model... F
It looks quite good. I'm a broke. Give it away. :-P
That's not mid-range lol
So what is it?
For a gaming laptop a 2060 is very much mid range with a 2080 being high end and a 1650 being budget.
