Reviews for the Lenovo Ideapad Y700-15-80NW0010US

90% Lenovo Y700 Touch 15-inch Gaming Laptop Review
Source: Think Computers English Archive.org version
Performance is most important to gamers, and the Y700 Touch did great in all of our tests. The Intel Core i7-6700HQ quad core processor, NVIDIA GeForce GTX 960M dedicated graphics, and 16GB of DDR4 memory do a really great job. I was able to play all of my favorite games, and quite well. Modern games like Star Wars Battlefront, GTA V, and Paragon played just fine. Not only is this performance great for gaming, but you have a pretty powerful system for multimedia, photo and video editing, and more! It was nice having a powerful machine on the go that did not slow me down if I had too many Chrome tabs open or I wanted to edit a few photos in Photoshop.

Moreover, it features a 720p HD webcam and two internal digital array microphones for communication.

There are two display options for Lenovo Ideapad Y700 15 inch models: a frameless Full HD (1920x1080) or a Ultra HD (3840 x 2160) 16:9 IPS display. Both of them are anti-glare 15.6 inch displays with 10-point multi touch support and are capable of delivering sharp and clear display. The Y700-15-80NW0010US comes with the FHD model. The keyboard features a red LED backlight with 2 brightness levels.

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.

Intel Core i7: The Intel Core i7 for laptops is based on the LG1156 Core i5/i7 CPU for desktops. The base clock speed of the CPUs is relatively low, but because of a huge Turbo mode, the cores can dynamically overclock to up to 3.2 GHz (920XM). Therefore, the CPU can be as fast as high clocked dual-core CPUs (using single threaded applications) but still offer the advantage of 4 cores. Because of the large TDP of 45 W / 55 W, the CPU is only intended for large laptops.  


6700HQ: Skylake-based quad-core processor for notebooks. Offers an integrated HD Graphics 530 GPU and is manufactured in 14 nm.» Further information can be found in our Comparison of Mobile Processsors.


15.60":

15-inch display variants are the standard and are used for more than half of all laptops.

The reason for the popularity of mid-sized displays is that this size is reasonably easy on the eyes, often allows high resolutions and thus offers rich details on the screen, yet does not consume too much power and the devices can still be reasonably compact - simply the standard compromise.

2.9 kg:

With this weight, a laptop is rather heavier than average. Devices in this range shine more with screen size and performance than with mobility.


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.


87%: This is an above-average rating. Nevertheless, it should not be forgotten that about one fifth of all tested models receive a better rating.
