One of the best on reducing heating production
Lenovo is trying to reach its competitors in gaming industry with this laptop. It’s a high spec gaming device that needs a big wallet too. The benchmarks are nearly close to Razer’s Razer Blade Pro and greater than Dell’s Alienware 17. We’ve listed the five most common problems that buyers have faced.
1. Ugly display
The 15.6-inch Full HD 1080p (1920 x 1080) LED-Backlight Display is not as perfect as it seems. People who bought this, are complaining for blurry pictures even when they play a high resolution game or watching HD videos on it. However, the limited brightness also makes the viewing angles somewhat shallow. Lenovo Y50 suffers from similar issues in color reproduction and accuracy. It’s also good to mention that the display is not capable of detailing some game titles’ vibrant color palette. Yes, display is bad. But, if you must, it can be replaced for about $75 with a greater one.
2. Heavy Construction
Lenovo Y50 proved that is one of the best out there on reducing heating production. It’s too cool even when you play the most intensive game. This is due to the materials that Lenovo used. For example, the lid is made from black brushed aluminum with a crosshatch pattern that adds a subtle visual pop. A black, diamond-cut Lenovo emblem completes the understated look. With all that design, the company may forgot that it can be really heavy. It weights ONLY 2.4kg. Toshiba Satellite P50T is just a hair lighter than the Y50, but noticeably thicker.
3. Shallow keyboard
As a gamer you want something accurate and ergonomic. You need a keyboard without any lack of pressing the keys. Lenovo’s Y50 keyboard it’s pretty enough but it’s shallow and lows down the accuracy during play.
4. Malware Ridden
Lenovo has been busted by having a pre-installed bloatware program that was found to be very virus-like. There is a software that was made by a company called “Superfish” and is basically an Internet browser add-on that injects ads onto websites you visit. Lenovo issued a statement that it stopped shipping computers with the Superfish adware sometime in January 2015. If it’s true your device will never suffer but if it’s not watch out.
5. Bloatware
Many useless programs are pre-installed on your “bright new” Lenovo Y50 that you won’t ever use. The “useless apps” when they’re also running in background, consume an amount of physical memory and CPU usage too. Nowadays, this is a thing that many companies do, not only Lenovo.
