Review on Lenovo Legion Y540-15 Gaming Laptop 81SX00NNUS: Intel Core i7-9750H, 16GB RAM, 512GB+1TB Storage, NVIDIA GTX1660Ti, 15.6" IPS Display by Eh Chit ᠌
The best product, from those that I have viewed, I advise everyone!
A very good model. Although it is assembled from touch plastic, this assembly is so good that there are no questions about quality. There is no backlash, the lid moves as smoothly as possible (it can be fixed at any convenient angle up to 180 degrees inclusive). In the reviews they wrote / said that the plastic is very easily soiled - I didn’t understand what it was about at all. Didn't notice anything of the sort. Outwardly, it looks quite stylish: the top cover is made of slightly corrugated touch plastic (the same as the entire laptop is made of), the brand emblem a la Apple - Y, inscribed in the letter O of the LEGION graphic, glows. The touchpad, though not rough like on my old MSI, is pleasant to the touch. The finger does not get stuck when moving on the surface, as it happens on cheaper models. Naturally, this is multi-touch with support for gestures using up to 4 fingers. I was pleasantly surprised by the light bulbs on capslock and namlock. Under normal load, it does not make noise and does not heat up. In graphonic modern games, it gets a little warm in the middle of the keyboard. Not pleasant, of course, especially in the heat, but there is no question of boiling water even close. The noise of coolers also appears in games, but this is not the roar of a Boeing, but rather the rustle of an air conditioner at medium power. No discomfort, and over time, the noise merges with the environment. Unless you can play in a room with a sleeping person - if the dream is sensitive, it will definitely interfere with sleep. The laptop is very good, I did not regret a single day about the purchase. I would highly recommend it if you suddenly doubt (if you do not pay attention to the dubious implementation of the numpad).
- 1. Screen. The version with 144Hz and IPS common to the lineup is just heaven and earth with my faded TN and broken pixels in the middle of the screen of a 5-year-old old MSI GE70. I took it from nothing to do in quarantine 2022, but I would have known that the new laptops have such a difference in matrices with the old ones, I would have changed it a long time ago. Display with minimal frames due to the webcam at the bottom of the monitor. The color reproduction is beautiful, the eyes do not leak even at brightness above average. 2. Iron is just top. Snatched on corp. price in a well-known retailer for 77k: 512GB SSD, 16GB RAM, 144Hz, RTX2060, I5 9th generation. Everything flies, applications open instantly, there are no friezes, lags, freezes and other nonsense. For two months of daily use of 12+ hours, it has never failed in this regard. It pulls modern toys at good settings: Doom Eternal at maximum 90-100 fps depending on the juiciness of the batches, RDR 2 at 50 fps pre-ults. The RE2 remake is stable at 120-130 on pre-ults recommended by gf experience. RE7 is slightly worse on the same settings - 100-110 fps. Netlenki like The Witcher 3 pulls at maximum speed without straining at all. The same Dumchik, according to GFX, will pull preults on a 2K monitor. For 4K, alas, a more serious machine is required. 3. A very pleasant keyboard: I took it for coding and the keys are pressed so easily and softly that double-clicks are still somehow obtained out of habit. Two-level white backlighting of the keyboard. Not RGB of course, but more than enough for comfortable work at night. 4. General ergonomics. Connecting the laptop to an external monitor and keyboard, while closing the laptop, you don’t expect that the sound from the native speakers will not be muffled - the speakers are located on the end of the case - another wow-trick that I tested after changing the laptop. Ports on the back (including for charging). Stuck everything you need and do not strain yourself with furious wires on the sides. 5. Weight for this configuration is almost :) acceptable - 2.3 kg. The 17-inch laptop weighed half a kilo more, I decided to abandon it in favor of some kind of mobility.
- 1. The main disadvantage of the model is a completely cannibal layout. NumPad is simply destroyed by designers and is not suitable at all for anything other than calculations on a calculator. If you need a laptop for programming, buying this particular model, get ready for serious nerve tests. The home and end keys are combined with the arrows, i. E. to squeeze them, you need to hold down fn. Ins and del have been moved to a blindly inaccessible space - Ins is aligned with f12 (fn is also needed), delete is to the right of it. At what, hotkeys, it seems, are not soldered on the board. Do not expect that pressing 1 with NumLock off will work home for you. Popular namlock key swapping programs work so badly, and the namlock itself is so inconveniently designed to use good old hotkeys on the numpad, that it's much easier to get used to an unusual layout. 2. Notorious 144Hz in some games play against you. In Project Cars 2, for example, you can't limit FPS, so you have to play on medium settings. The 2060 video card is still average, but 144Hz, if I'm not mistaken, goes only above this video card, so the minus is not relevant on younger models. 3. Giant power supply does not contribute to mobility at all. Weighs almost half a kilo. 4. Webcam from below - you will have to turn the lid of the laptop and move it away from you so that the interlocutors see not only their chins. 5. Marketing about portable gaming has a double bottom - toys are severely limited in FPS, and the battery is melting before our eyes. The maximum will turn out to be an hour and a half to play without an outlet. Better than nothing, but still doubtful. 6. It's hard to disassemble - you need to tear off the back cover with force, + in my copy, the bottom screws do not want to unscrew in any way. I wanted to stick an old SSD, but I forgot to upgrade, while it's still under warranty. 7. I would like more work time without an outlet, but with such stuffing it is apparently unrealistic. More than 3.5 hours in coding mode, social networks, average monitor brightness, power saving mode and half an hour of conf in zoom, I never came out.
