86% Lenovo Legion Y540-15IRH review: A capable entry-level 144Hz gaming laptop
Source: Techaeris Archive.org version
The Lenovo Legion Y540-15IRH gaming laptop offers a nice balance between performance and price. It can also be customized to suit your configuration needs and budget and performs fairly well when playing recent games. While an 8.6/10 overall rating may seem a tad mediocre, if you take the camera and battery life out of the equation, you’re looking at just over 9/10 for this gaming laptop.

Lenovo Legion Y540 Review

For the price tag of PHP 89,995, it’s hard to suggest this variant of the Lenovo Legion Y540. It’s only PHP 5,000 less than the Legion Y545, and you’ll be spending more money down the line upgrading the RAM, further reducing the price gap. If you had the budget, we’d recommend you go for the Legion Y545 instead, and you’ll be getting a far better display capable of high refresh rates, twice as much RAM, and a more compact body.

Though buyers seeking top-tier performance will need to upgrade to something more powerful, such as Lenovo’s Legion desktops, the Y540 notebook meets the needs of anyone who wants portability, support for VR headsets, and the ability to take their games with them wherever they go. When combined with its $929 USD starting price, the Legion Y540 is an appealing option in a crowded market.

80% Lenovo Legion Y540 review: Gaming laptop to buy under Rs 1 lakh
Source: India Today Archive.org version
However, performance is universally good on all gaming laptop at this price. It's the practicality and ease of use that matters the most, and this is where the Legion Y540 (15) impresses me unlike any other. Lenovo's idea to go ahead with a durable plastic build works wonderfully in the real world. It resists smudges and scratches, which means you can carry this one around without worrying about scuffing the paint or getting dents.

Lenovo Legion Y540 review: Casual gaming with an Nvidia GeForce GTX 1660 Ti
Source: Neowin Archive.org version
The Lenovo Legion Y540 is a phenomenal laptop in almost every way. My biggest complaints are really just that the webcam is placed underneath the display, and that it's a bit bulky and heavy at just over five pounds. Battery life isn't good, but that's to be expected.
