The editors didn't like
The IPS panel still leaves a lot to be desired
Impractical cooling system
Inconsistent touchpad performance
No M.2 SATA slot
Display has dull color and limited viewing angles
Shallow keyboard and jumpy touchpad
Mediocre display
Hard drive with solid-state buffer rather than full SSD
Abysmal display with limited viewing angles
Flimsy
Awkwardly located trackpad
Mushy keyboard
Base option 1080p display is mediocre at best
Slow HDD for base models
The display suffers from poor viewing angles and the midlevel graphics card means you can't run newer games at the highest detail settings
Middle-of-the-road battery life. A little large for portability
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

We were pleased with the overall design of the machine giving a distinctive look, premium materials while maintaining low weight (2.4 kg) and slim profile (24.5 mm). However, this notebook has its own drawbacks like leaving easily smudges on the exterior ...
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...

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...
