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
Excellent, unique design, Fantastic value, Pleasant speakers
Dreadful screen, Inconsistent game performance, Limited configurations, Short battery life
Lenovo set itself apart with in the gaming space with an (optionally) dual GPU-capable Y510p. While the Chinese computer company's latest Y50 machine is not as capable in terms of raw gaming power, it's a well built piece of technology, especially for the...

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....

Decent value, good mid-range GPU that can handle just about any game
Limited maximum screen brightness, fan stays on all the time, slightly dodgy trackpad
The Lenovo Y50 is a good-value gaming laptop, and a pretty aggressive competitor to other laptops in this class like the Acer V Nitro and the various MSI options around the price, including the GS20. Last year the Y50 was a bit of a dodgy option gi...

Excellent, unique design, Fantastic value, Pleasant speakers
Dreadful screen, Inconsistent game performance, Limited configurations, Short battery life
Save for the screen and somewhat limited computing horsepower, the Lenovo Y50 is a very good package for its $1,519 or £999 (about AU$1,631) price tag. In a field of laptops that focus on filling out an internal spec sheet and stuffing it into a flimsy p...

Fast CPU and GPU, Slim for a gaming notebook, Loud speakers
Very low display quality, Finicky keyboard and touchpad, Short battery life, Runs a bit warm
Lenovo's Y50 is affordable and reasonably quick, but it does more to damage the company's gaming reputation than to enhance it. The system's unforgivable flaw is the display, which would be disappointing on a system sold at half the price. A low-contras...
Abstract: We've finally arrived at the long-foretold future where gaming laptops can be slim and light enough to fit comfortably on your lap. Heck, even a non-gaming company like Lenovo has managed the feat. Lenovo's 2014 Y50 isn't quite as slim as, say, the 0.7-in...
