Lenovo ideapad Y700 (15") in-depth review

Lenovo's Y gaming series has become renown in the past couple of years and it's clear why. The new successor to the Lenovo Y50 is the Lenovo Y700, and we can tell by its name alone that there are some drastic changes that we need to address. While the design language remains roughly the same (and just as good), we see some great improvements not only in the design department but in the hardware as well.We are now presented with an M.2 SSD slot, which wasn't present in the previous generation, which was considered to be a great drawback; we've got an updated Skylake CPU and the same GeF[...]

Pros

  • Sleek design (even slightly improved) and robust construction that can take a beating for sure
  • Good keyboard and improved touchpad quality
  • Excellent sound quality (JBL stereo loudspeakers and a subwoofer)
  • The screen doesn't use PWM above 58 cd/m2 (59%)
  • Added an M.2 SATA SSD slot
  • Greatly increased battery life

Cons

  • The screen isn't suitable for design work, due to the reduced sRGB coverage
  • The chassis attracts fingerprints and smudges
