    Lenovo Legion Y520 in-depth review

    Lenovo's Y gaming series have gone a long way since the first notebook release and from now on, the OEM is branding its mid-range gaming laptops "Legion". In this review, we will investigate how the 15-inch version has matured in terms of design, build quality, cooling system, performance, etc.But for the first time ever, the 15-inch version will sell for a significantly lower price than before and more importantly, the Legion Y520 offers an IPS panel opposed to Dell's and Acer's similarly-priced gaming solutions - the Inspiron 7567 and the Aspire VX 15 (VX5-591G), respectively. Howeve[...]

    Pros

    • Impeccable build quality and refreshing aesthetics
    • Lighter than its predecessor
    • Excellent keyboard and touchpad experience
    • Despite its drawbacks, the IPS screen provides good image quality
    • Supports M.2 PCIe NVMe SSDs
    • The main exhaust vents now provide better airflow resulting in less heat on the surface

    Cons

    • The screen uses PWM from 0 to 99% brightness (the Health-Guard profile fixes that)
    • The cooling design hasn't changed so the CPU still throttles during high load
