Lenovo IdeaPad Y560 Series 064654U 15.6-Inch Laptop (Grey)

Bought the laptop for the wife for everyday use and for my occasional lanparty grab'n go machine. Its a little on the big side (which i expected) for her, would rather have gotten her a 14", but it performs very fast for her every day uses. I have yet to run cs5 on it for tests but will update my review later with that info.

Pros--

Looks: Awesome! Stylish, yet the pattern is subtle with the two tone grey on black.

Performance: Worked great on the games I've tested so far, SC2, LFD2, MW2, most running on above avg to high settings. Surprisingly thin and light for its size. Speakers are quite loud and clear compared to other laptops.

Extras: I liked the lenovo software that came with it to change screen settings, adjust power savings (most adjustments I'd ever seen in a laptop), all done with polish. First time I haven't uninstalled such kind of software off a new purchase.

Touchpad is a little different textured at first, but you get used to it and its quite precise, multi-touch supported is great.

Cost: At $900 I thought it was worth the price.

Cons-Wish the graphics card had the built-in option to switch to for power savings. Much to be desired when not gaming, get about 3 hours.

Screen is so glossy it hurts. There is a reason I have not purchased my desktop lcd's in "Consumer Glossy". Blech the glare. I'm going to have to find a anti-glare screen cover for it.

Keep your screen cover cloth to slip between the screen and keyboard when you stow it or you'll get keyboard imprints within a week.

Overall--

If you're looking for a sub $1000 gaming laptop this is great. Performance for the cost I think it was a great deal, I shopped around alot between Upper Asus models and the envy 14 series etc. The i7 speed is always fantastic. Windows Experience Index (if you're interested in this benchmark)

CPU: 7.1

RAM: 5.9

Graphics: 6.7

Gaming graphics: 6.7

HDD: 5.9

Well i have this laptop for one month now.

Initially i got the problems of LARGE MOUSE --Fixed by updated BIOS on lenovo.com

Second problem was Blue Screen of Death which i got only Once and then updated my graphics card drivers from ATI, you need to tweak that driver to make it work on this laptop. Google the forums and you will find it. And since then i have ABSOLUTELY NO PROBLEM with this laptop.

Very Fast processor with Very High End Graphics in this price is the BEST deal you can get.

Want Lenovo IdeaPad Y560 Series 064654U 15.6-Inch Laptop (Grey) Discount?

I ordered 'Lenovo IdeaPad Y560 Series 064654U 15.6 Inch Laptop with 4 GB Memory (RAM)' as a gift to a family member. Amazon.com was the seller for the laptop. A week after I received the laptop I realized that the laptop only has 2 GB RAM instead of 4 GB. By this time I had gifted the laptop. I contacted Lenovo first to find out if they can fix the issue. Looking inside the laptop I realized that it only had one 2 GB Memory stick installed. Lenovo customer care representative said that it is not possible that they shipped 2 GB RAM. Additionally, I was told that it is not a technical issue that they can fix since nothing is wrong with the laptop. They did not agree to sending the missing memory stick and told me to instead contact Amazon. Amazon customer care says that they can only refund or replace the laptop. Hard luck for me! I could not ask the gift back and get it replaced.

In my view the problem should have been resolved by Lenovo/Amazon together rather than giving me the standard solution of replace or refund. I am quite disappointed by being short-changed by Lenovo/Amazon.
