Lenovo Legion Y520 Gaming Laptop Price
Gaming laptops are generally priced at 10 million and above. Like some gaming laptops out on the market, the specifications of the Lenovo Legion Y520 tend to be high because it uses the highest series of Intel® Core™ processors in the mobile version of the Kaby Lake series, namely the i7-7700 HQ which users can overclock again. In addition, the graphics card used is also not arbitrary. The Lenovo Legion Y520 is presented in several variants, namely using the GTX 1060 3 GB, GTX 1050 Ti, and RX 560 belonging to AMD Radeon®. But for the gaming laptop class, the Lenovo Legion Y520 comes out at a price of Rp. 13,099,000.
Lenovo Legion Y520 Gaming Laptop Display and Design
Lenovo Legion Y520 comes with a size of 15.6 inches. In addition, this gaming laptop from a brand based in Beijing, China has a maximum resolution of up to 1920 x 1080 (Full HD). Of course, that big resolution already displays sharp and beautiful images. In addition, the maximum brightness can be said to be good, although in our opinion it is still inferior when compared to several gaming laptops from rivals because the Legion Y520 screen only has a 68 percent sRGB color gamut level, which usually the average gaming laptop has reached 94 percent sRGB color gamut. But you don't have to worry about color accuracy, because the Legion Y520 has good color accuracy.
For design, the Legion Y520 looks like some gaming laptops with a black color and a fierce shape. Lenovo Legion Y520 uses plastic material. But this laptop is still sturdy and looks elegant even though it uses plastic. In addition, gaming laptops are also equipped with a red-accented keyboard and touchpad like most gaming laptops.
Lenovo Legion Y520 Gaming Laptop Performance
Legion Y520 is powered by an Intel® Core™ i7-7700HQ processor which is the highest in the 7th generation processor, namely Kaby Lake from Intel®. This processor has a base clock of 2.8 GHz which users can increase the speed up to 3.8 GHz. You are also given a choice of what VGA variant to use on this laptop. There are 2 variants of NVIDIA® GPU, GeForce® GTX 1050 Ti with 4 GB VRAM and 3 GB version of GTX 1060. Besides that, AMD also doesn't want to be left behind, the Radeon ® RX 580 version is also presented for this gaming notebook. This NVIDIA GPU with Pascal architecture has the performance of a desktop version of the GPU. To play the latest games, of course, is no longer an obstacle. For the GTX 1050 Ti series, we found much better performance than the GTX 960M series.
Lenovo Legion Y520 Keyboard and Touchpad
The Legion Y520 keyboard and touchpad come with red accents. Of course this is what makes this laptop even more frightening to look at. But this gaming laptop from Lenovo is not only great, but in our opinion the keyboard is one of the best in its price range. The keyboard feature is similar to what you will find in the Yoga 710 series, namely the key set feature. In addition, the touchpad presented by the Legion Y520 has a size of 4.1 inches for the top, and 3.5 inches for the bottom, and a height of 2.2 inches. In our opinion, there is nothing special about the touchpad, and it seems ordinary.
Lenovo Legion Y520 . Audio
The Legion Y520 is presented with Harman speakers that feature Dolby Premium. When playing games, it will feel more fun and realistic. Not only that, this gaming laptop is equipped with the Dolby Audio application that allows you all to choose a sound profile. But in your opinion, you don't need to tamper with the sound settings, in our initial conditions it's already very satisfying.
Lenovo Legion Y520 . Battery Life
For those of you who expect a laptop that can be carried anywhere without having to carry a charger, we can state that Legion is not very appropriate. Battery life can only last about 3 and a half hours more for internet and gaming needs. You of course have to carry the charger everywhere when you travel by using this cellphone.
In our opinion, the Legion Y520 can be used as a gaming laptop of choice at a more affordable price. With cool specifications and competitive performance, this gaming laptop from Lenovo can be relied on to play modern games.
