Lenovo Y50-70 15.6″ (Gaming Laptop)

Lenovo Y50-70 15.6″ (Gaming Laptop)

There are a huge range of 15” gaming laptops currently on the market. Lenovo is trusted to be a leading competitor in the gaming world judging by the well-loved Y510 and Y510p which the company previously delivered. The Lenovo Y50-70 has a stunning sleek appearance and is surprisingly lightweight for a gaming laptop. It is also incredible value for money, only £829.99 at Laptop Outlet.

lenovo-y50-70

How Lenovo describes it:

“Gamers rejoice! The new Lenovo Y50 is here. This 15.6″ model reigns as first in its class: an affordable, yet highly mobile laptop that offers the cutting-edge power and features to keep pace with today’s latest games and multimedia”.

Key features/Specs:

  • Intel Core i7 (4th Gen) 4710HQ Processor 2.5 GHz Max Turbo Speed 3.5 GHz Quad Core
  • 16GB RAM, 1TB HDD + 8GB SSD
  • 6″ Full HD (1920 x 1080) Resolution Display
  • NVIDIA GeForce GTX 860M 4GB Dedicated Graphics
  • Pre-loaded with Windows 8.1
  • JBL speakers with Dolby Advanced Audio V2
  • 2-in-1 Card Reader
  • Integrated 1.0 MP HD webcam
  • Up to 5 hours battery usage

The Lenovo Y50-70 is visually stunning, with brushed aluminium, and a sleeker and slimmer appearance than previous versions. It is also lighter, perfect for gaming portability and comfortability. The keyboard and trackpad are also great for daily use. However, this visual update compromises the laptops expandability, so users are unable to insert an optical drive or an extra cooling fan as they could in previous versions. The latter is not a great disadvantage as the metal bottom of the laptop will provide some additional cooling alongside its exhaust fan.

Game performance

  • 3D Gaming with the discrete NVIDIA Geforce GTX860M 4GB Graphics Card
  • Capable of running Battlefield 4 at 35-40fps* on High Settings

(source: NVIDIA.com)

Speakers

  • OneKey Theatre Software (optimal audiovisual experience)
  • Dolby Plus Profile Editor

The JBL speakers used in the Lenovo Y50-70 is one of its most impressive features; they deliver incredible high-quality sound, providing the best gaming experience.

Removal of Ultrabay

The removal of the Ultrabay in the Lenovo Y50-70 is a key selling point. The previous Lenovo Y510 had a single Nvidia GTX 750m and was able to run two GPUs in SLI, however the Lenovo Y50-70 is unable to do this and the removal of the Ultrabay does result in inconsistent game performance. However, it is brilliant with multitasking other applications, able to run six intensive applications simultaneously –including Google Music and an intensive image editor.

Pros:

  • Visually pleasing (metal lined body)
  • Excellent value for money
  • High-quality speakers
  • Impressive power, can handle highly demanding games at ultra-settings
  • Durable
  • Great processor and graphics card

Cons:

  • Screen quality could be better
  • Disappointing battery life
  • Limited Graphics card (GTX 860M)

Will Windows 10 be made an automatic update next year?

Will Windows 10 be made an automatic update next year?

“This combines the strengths of Windows 8 with Windows 7”.

  • Windows Insider

Windows 10 is the newest version of the Windows operating system; although this does not mean Microsoft will stop releasing any more updates from Windows completely, the new strategy will make a change from the huge renovations between releases. In its place, Microsoft will shift towards the Apple method of focusing on incremental iterations of and improvements to the existing operating system.

What Microsoft states about Windows 10:

“Windows 10 is familiar and easy to use, with lots of similarities to Windows 7 including the Start menu.

It starts up and resumes fast, has more built-in security to help keep you safe, and is designed to work with software and hardware that you already have”.

Until now, the Windows 10 free upgrade only focused on the Windows 7 and 8 users who had chosen to reserve their copy of the operating system before its release. However Microsoft is now broadening the reach of the operating system to a more extensive audience. The Windows 10 update will now start to be published as an “Optional Update”, being detectable to anyone who checks the update record.

windows10update
Within the beginning of next year, it will be categorised as a “Recommended Update”. This is a substantial change, as system configurations which download and install recommended updates (which is the safest and recommended system option) will automatically detect the upgrade and start installations. The system installation will still require human interference to be completed, however the Windows users will no longer need to actively search for the new update.

Requirements for installing Windows 10:

  • Microsoft ID or Outlook email address
  • The preview should work on any system which runs Windows 8.1 (however existing software may need to be updated after Windows 10 installation).

There are many unanswered questions regarding the Windows 10 update, so there is a possibility users will be displeased with the strategy of pushing the Windows 10 update forcefully on to users. Windows 10 has been successfully functioning on over 110 million devices, those who have preferred not to update.
