Lenovo Legion Y520 [Y520-15IKBM 80YY0016RK]

Design

Laptop Legion Y520 is made of black plastic with soft-touch coating. Fingerprints collect quickly enough, but they are just as easily removed from the case. Massive air ducts on the rear face with red-painted radiators, as well as the touchpad edging, give out its gaming essence.

Equipped with a scissor-style keyboard that has low travel and effort required to press. A feature of this keyboard is the presence of a full-fledged block with arrows, for the sake of which they sacrificed the size of the digital one. Due to the lower pressure resistance, it is really comfortable to play. Red backlit keyboard with two levels of brightness allows you to play in any lighting conditions

Screen

The display, manufactured by LG, has a resolution of Full HD (1920x1080 pixels) and is made using IPS technology. The brightness level is 240 cd/m2 and the contrast ratio is 680:1. The anti-reflective coating allows you to work comfortably on a sunny day. In general, the screen can be called rather average in quality, but for everyday tasks it is more than acceptable.

Iron

The drive is a 2000 GB HDD with a spindle speed of 5400 rpm, SSD is not provided in this modification.

The discrete video accelerator NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1060 Max-Q with 3 GB of GDDR5 video memory, which has native VR support, which is undoubtedly a plus, is responsible for the video component. The prefix "Max-Q" means that the chip is 10% inferior to the stock GTX 1060, since it is focused on lower power consumption, but at the same time more powerful than the GTX 1050 Ti by 15%, and the GTX 1050 by 20 – 25%.

From the battery the laptop is capable to work till 4 o'clock at average loading. It’s not enough for a full-fledged work, but watching a movie at your leisure is quite.
