Powerful Core i7 processor, Comfortable backlit keyboard, Good selection of I/O ports, Sleek, for a 15.6in gaming laptop
Struggles with 1080p gaming, Limited choice of UK models, Single-channel memory, Small 128GB SSD
The Lenovo Legion Y520 has the makings of a solid mainstream gaming laptop. Build quality is good, the chassis is relatively sleek for a 15.6in PC with gaming ambition, connectivity options are plentiful and the full-size backlit keyboard is satisfying to...
well built and tamed down looks, great keyboard, despite its peculiar NumPad layout, performs well, runs cool and mostly quiet, more affordable that most other options
rather dim and color deficient screen, small trackpad with finicky click buttons, only gets a 45 Wh battery, speakers sound tinny
The Lenovo Legion Y520 is a great pick for those of you that only have about $900-$1000 to spend and want a good all-round laptop that can also handle FHD gaming well. This one offers much for the buck and is overall a well built computer with a good keyb...
We like the look of the Legion Y520-15. Physically, rather than on paper and in practice, because we don't believe that the selection of parts delivers an overall experience best for gaming.Undoubtedly this is a stylish, compact and strong system for gene...

Solid build quality, Sleek design, Decent gaming performance, Crisp, clear screen, Games well with WQHD (2560x1440) external monitor, Reasonably priced, Minimal bloatware
No VR support with GTX 1050 Ti, Subpar battery life (to be expected), No webcam

Low Profile minimalistic design, Read Speed of the M.2 Drive, No flex on the keyboard area, Lenovo Nerve Sense, Good daily driver
DDR4 SODIMM slots packed and blocked by the cooling unit, 128 GB for a primary drive is too small for the price, Removing the underside plate needs some care
Same guts different brands!The Lenovo Y520-15IKBN has similar CPU/GPU/memory and screen size specs as the Dell Inspiron 7000. I haven't tested it but its always a point of reference as many manufacturers would have the same specification with some changes...
solid CPU and GPU performance, good input devices, reasonable price, fast SSD and application performance, dual-storage configuration, easy maintenance and upgradeability
plastic construction and rather flimsy display lid, washed-out display color, middling brightness and contrast, subdued, low-cost appearance, display clouding visible on dark screens
Lenovo can't avoid the realities of gaming on a budget. Compromises were made to get the Legion Y520 to its rock-bottom price tag. Unfortunately, the missing backlit keyboard and camera mean that the Legion Y520 isn't the absolute best buy it could have b...
The Lenovo Legion Y520 offers strong performance for its price and a sleek design. But its screen is dull, and its touchpad places form over function...
