Reviews for the Lenovo Legion Y530-15ICH
The Lenovo Legion Y530 does not waste much time with questions about the design, but delivers a lot of performance for an affordable price instead. After the review of the GTX 1050 Ti SKU, we now have a look at the model with the more powerful GTX 1060. What can users expect from this laptop?

Archive.org versionThe $899 Lenovo Legion Y530 is a very good gaming laptop for the price. Packaged in an elegant, slim design, it has solid overall performance, a compact footprint and enough gaming power to play titles at low settings. Its biggest shortcomings are a display with poor color reproduction and an embarrassingly bad webcam placement.

Archive.org versionGaming laptops are by no means cheap, but in terms of the power that you get with this entry-level gaming laptop, you get bang for your buck. The SSD hard drive ensures that you always have enough space and while the 8GB RAM was perfect for what I used it for, you can upgrade this when you save up some cash.

Archive.org versionWhile the design is sleek and the laptop runs well for the most part, our review unit as configured didn’t come without its performance issues. While I wouldn’t recommend the Lenovo Legion Y530 as we tested it, I’d definitely recommend it if you’re willing to spend a bit more on a bigger SSD drive and the GeForce GTX 1060 graphics option.

Comment
NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1060 Mobile: The mobile GTX 1060 is based on the GP106 chip and offer 1280 shaders. Compared to the identically named desktop version it features a slightly lower clock rate. Games in Full HD and maximum details should run fluently on the card.
Modern games should be playable with these graphics cards at low settings and resolutions. Casual gamers may be happy with these cards.

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.
