Model: This laptop is where budget meets gaming laptops. It isn't often said that a good budget laptop can be a good gaming laptop, but the new Lenovo IdeaPad is going to change that. This 17-inch powerhouse is capable of playing any game on any setting and still has performance reserves. It is a very powerful computer with Intel i7 quad-core processor and will never underperform. 16 GB of RAM also helps in this aspect. The JBL sound system is also very immersive. It brings sounds that are more like home theatre systems'. The design of the laptop is also very cutting edge because it looks and feels amazing. The speakers are on the top corners and wrapped around the back and the screen is raised. The laptop with skinny look design is slightly heavier at 3.4 kg.
The laptop has a built in 720p webcam, 1 TB of storage, a keyboard with beautiful red backlight, and an Nvidia GTX 960M 4 GB graphics card. With the red and black scheme, the devices looks like a very high-end gaming laptop. The battery life is okay compared to other options out there, but most gaming laptops are not made to be away from power cords for too long anyway. All in all, this is one of the best gaming laptops out there, which are available for budget buys and the metal casing gives it a look and feel of a very high-end computer.
NVIDIA GeForce GTX 960M: Upper mid-range graphics card of the GeForce GTX 900M series.
Modern games should be playable with these graphics cards at low settings and resolutions. Casual gamers may be happy with these cards.

17.30": This display size is a standard format for desktop replacements (DTR). The DTR laptops are heavier to carry, need more power, but texts are easy to read and high resolutions are no problem. DTR are mainly intended for stationary desk use, where weight and energy hunger don't matter. In return, you enjoy the advantages of high resolutions (more details, better legibility).» To find out how fine a display is, see our DPI List.
3.5 kg:
A laptop with this weight is comparatively heavy and less designed for mobility than for use at the desk. Therefore, the devices tend to shine less with battery life than with a large screen and higher performance.
Lenovo: Lenovo ("Le" from English legend, novo (Latin) for new) was founded in 1984 as a Chinese computer trading company. As of 2004, the company was the largest laptop manufacturer in China and, after acquiring IBM's PC division in 2005, the fourth largest in the world. In addition to desktops and notebooks, the company manufactures monitors, projectors, servers, etc, and specializes in developing, manufacturing and marketing consumer electronics, personal computers, software, enterprise solutions and related services.
In 2016, the company ranked first in the world in computer sales. It still held it in 2023 with about 23% global market share. Important product lines are Thinkpad, Legion and Ideapad.
In 2011, it acquired a majority stake in Medion AG, a European computer hardware manufacturer. In 2014, Motorola Mobility was purchased, which gave Lenovo a boost in the smartphone market.
74%: This rating is poor. More than three quarters of the models are rated better. That is rather not a purchase recommendation. Even if verbal ratings in this area do not sound that bad ("sufficient" or "satisfactory"), they are usually euphemisms that disguise a classification as a below-average laptop.
