Lenovo Legion Y530 [Y530-15ICH 81FV0029RU]

Stilya and handsome

The Lenovo Legion Y530 is a gaming model that looks more like a stylish business laptop than a modern gaming machine.

Frameless screen

It boasts an attractive screen with thin bezels, an unusual 180-degree hinge, and a plain lid with an asymmetrical logo and a pattern that looks like either wood grain or a fingerprint. In general, it looks like a thing that you want to show off to your friends. And only a couple of massive coolers hidden in the base, and, with a stretch, soft white backlighting of the keyboard remind of belonging to the gaming family.

Keyboard as a reason to be proud

By the way, the keyboard is a small reason for the pride of Lenovo engineers. The keys here are large, soft and quiet — and it is very comfortable to play and work on them. The increase in the size of the keys affected the location of the arrows and the number block. At first, it is unusual to work, but after 30 minutes you completely forget about this modification of the keyboard.

Maximum production power

The production capacity of the Lenovo Legion Y530 is provided by the eighth-generation six-core Core i7 chip, which operates at frequencies from 2.2 to 4.1 GHz, and the upgraded NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1050 Ti video accelerator with 4 GB of GDDR5 video memory. Complementing the picture are 8 GB of RAM, running at a frequency of 2666 MHz, and a high-speed hard drive with a capacity of 1 TB and a read speed of 7200 rpm. Without any reservations, this is a laptop with serious characteristics, which can handle work of any complexity and almost any game.

High quality anti-reflective screen

The screen on the Legion Y530 is not bad for a gaming laptop in this price range: a 15-inch IPS panel with a resolution of 1920x1080 pixels, a high refresh rate of 144Hz, and decent, if not perfect, colour reproduction. The display is a little lacking in brightness, but thanks to the anti-glare coating, it is convenient to use it outdoors or on a trip.

Up to 5 hours on a single battery charge

The battery life of the laptop is also kept at a stable average level. In a working scenario (medium brightness, balanced mode, surfing the net), a 4670 mAh battery holds about 5 hours. In the case of games like GTA, which put a lot of stress on the CPU and GPU, the laptop rarely lasts more than 80 minutes. In general, it’s very possible to count on him on the way, but it’s better to sit down to play closer to the outlet.

Also, the laptop does not have a pre-installed operating system (OS), so you have to tinker a bit with installing Windows.
