As a conclusion, Lenovo has delivered a laptop that features amazing performance for its price tag. A user can use it for gaming or just any job and it is lightweight to take anywhere. The Legion range is proving to be as good as its bigger competitors such as the HP’s Omen, Asus’s Predator and even MSI’s G series. With the gaming category demand increasing, Lenovo has done the only logical thing, offering one with great specs at a relatively affordable price.

The Lenovo Legion Y7000 is a solid performer with an attractive design, great battery life, and a budget-friendly price. Lenovo’s still probably not the brand you think of first when you think of “Affordable Gaming Laptops,” but after the last few years? Maybe it should be.

90% Lenovo Legion Y7000P review
Source: Techradar Archive.org version
The Lenovo Legion Y7000P is a fantastic gaming laptop. It comes with enough firepower to run most games, even very graphics-hungry ones, without too much trouble. And, with a barely four-figure starting price, this is one of the best budget gaming laptops available. The only issue is that the Y7000P is only available through a small selection of retailers.

Lenovo Legion Y7000 (2019) – this one looks very familiar
Source: Laptop Media Archive.org version
At the end of the day, the Lenovo Legion Y7000 (2019) is a decent gaming laptop that is suitable not only for gamers but also for people who are looking to edit videos or render 3D objects. However, we feel that this laptop fills a gap that doesn’t really exist. While the original Legion Y7000 was meant for the same target group, at least it had an unprecedented look, that couldn’t be seen anywhere else. However, the case with the Legion Y7000 (2019) is very different. It is a copy of the Legion Y540 (which already had a copy in the form of the Legion Y545).

Comment

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.

With these GPUs you are able to play modern and demanding games fluently at medium detail settings and HD resolution.

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.

NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1660 Ti Mobile: Mid range dedicated graphics card for laptops based on the desktop GTX 1660 Ti and therefore the Turing architecture without raytracing and Tensor cores. The performance of the Max-P variant should be similar to an older GTX 1070.

NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1650 Mobile: Mid range dedicated graphics card for laptops based on the desktop GTX 1650 and therefore the Turing architecture (TU117 chip in 12nm FFN) without raytracing and Tensor cores. Available with 896 and 1024 shaders.

No weight comment found (one expected)!

68.9%: 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.
