Lenovo Ideapad Y700 (15") Pro Reviews

The Lenovo ideapad Y700 is quite the capable laptop, though it limits its audience with its gamey design. Given that Lenovo makes no bones about the audience it is targeting -- PC gamers -- there's nothing wrong with that, and if you're in the market for a gaming machine, you're likely used to such flashy designs. Even if such designs are not your cup of tea, there's nothing about the ideapad Y700's design that'll sour your impression -- when using it, the Y700 simply looks like a large laptop with a red-instead-of-white keyboard backlight.As far as performance goes, the laptop is top notch and you'll find it handles your gameplay well. In fact, the laptop's downside doesn't come from its design or performance, but rather its hefty, bulky design. This is by no means a lightweight laptop and it is chunky. For gamers who play at the desk and rarely find reason to pick up their machine, this won't be an issue. If you enjoy portability, though, the Y700 might prove too cumbersome.
