Archive.org versionThe Lenovo Z50-70 is a well-rounded 15-inch laptop with a full-HD display and discrete nVidia graphics that can handle better gaming than many comparable budget laptops. Its build quality is good for the price, and battery life of around five hours, plus sub-2.4 kg weight, makes it more usable as mobile workstation.

HR→EN Archive.org versionThis laptop model is an entry-level model for multimedia and gaming and it justifies its purpose: it provides the perfect configuration, beyond reproach. The hybrid hard drive will mean a lot for speeding up booting time and application launching, while the two graphics cards will accelerate what is most important - games and multimedia. Bearing in mind there is a Full HD screen, you will not be able to run the latest or demanding games, but everything else will be a real pleasure thanks to the great configuration.
Positive: Excellent and very flexible configuration; full HD screen; excellent performance; very good autonomy. Negative: Relatively short battery life.

Comment
Model:
The Lenovo IdeaPad Z50-70 is encased in sleek plastic black casing and weighs 2.2 kg. However, the plastic design means it is not necessarily as sturdy as it looks. The laptop creaks when pressure is applied to the base unit while the design attracts unsightly fingerprints. It uses an Intel Core i7, an Nvidia GeForce GT840, 4 GB RAM and a 1 TB hard drive.
The processor has a nominal clock of 2.0 GHz, but can run up to 3.1 GHz. The IdeaPad Z50-70 should be capable of running some more demanding games as well as video and picture editing functions. However, don't expect to play the newest 3D games like Crysis 3 or Thief.
The 15.6 inch display features FHD resolution. However, the display leaves much to be desired with the blurred screen and extremely limited viewing angles. In addition, the speakers do not appear to carry much bass and are soft even at maximum volume.
The Ideapad is equipped with an Ethernet port, an HDMI port, two USB 2.0 ports, a USB 3.0 port, an SD card reader, a stereo jack and a DVD burner. The battery is capable of lasting for about 4 and a half hours of web surfing.
NVIDIA GeForce 840M:
Mid-range graphics card from the GeForce 800M series based on the Maxwell architecture.
Modern games should be playable with these graphics cards at low settings and resolutions. Casual gamers may be happy with these cards.
