There's nothing to dislike about the Y50 Touch, unless you're finicky about wanting the trackpad centered. It is solid from all angles, bringing with it a clean and mean design that makes no bones about what kind of performance can be expected. Unlike som...
One of the most affordable thin and light 15" gaming laptops
Base option 1080p display is mediocre at best, slow HDD for base models
If you're on a budget and need a truly portable 15" laptop that's strong enough to play today's 3D games, export full HD video quickly, compile code and handle college CAD work, the Lenovo Y50 is worth a look. At 5.3 lbs. and 0.9" thick it's extremely por...

The IdeaPad Y50's goal of providing gaming-grade performance with a budget-friendly price tag is mostly a success. It manages to unseat the Y500 in every meaningful benchmark and it provides respectable performance with medium to high settings in most gam...

Slim design. Full-HD, touch-capable display. JBL Sound with integrated subwoofer. Good feature set, with USB, HDMI, and Gigabit Ethernet.
Middle-of-the-road battery life. A little large for portability
The Lenovo Y50 Touch is a solid gaming laptop for the novice gamer who feels intimidated by all the customization offered by boutique PC manufacturers....

The Lenovo Y50 Touch has great style for a gaming laptop, plus a touchscreen, and it balances performance, size, and price to the benefit of mainstream gamers
The display suffers from poor viewing angles and the midlevel graphics card means you can't run newer games at the highest detail settings
With the Y50 Touch, Lenovo has created a reasonably priced, not-too-big gaming laptop that doesn't look like a throwback. But the most serious PC gamers may want to hold out for a better display and faster GPU....
Good gaming performance for the price, Comfortable backlit keyboard, Great battery life for its class, Responsive touch screen
Mediocre display, Hard drive with solid-state buffer rather than full SSD
The successor to Lenovo's Y510p loses some flexibility with the loss of the Ultrabay, but the doubled battery life and good performance for the price more than compensate. We'd like to see a real SSD, though, and the display suffers from narrow viewing a...

Patterned, brushed metal lid is a unique and stylish design
Temperamental touchscreen and touchpad. Barely three hours of battery life. Some issues with temporary hanging at boot. Lackluster performance considering the price. Heavy at 5.8 pounds
The Lenovo Y50 is a monster. The discreet graphics, comfortable keyboard and insanely good speakers make it a gamer's dream. Even music and video producers will find it nice. The screen disappoints though and the rat's nest of add-on software make the out...
