It doesn?t have much storage (at least mine doesn?t) also it is difficult to open the bottom of it to add on anything

It is good for casual gaming

I've had this laptop now for 2 almost 3 years and it has served me well. I take it with me on the motorcycle to work 2-5 times a week. Through all the bumps and vibrations she has held up well so far. My only issue is the crack that has formed on the back side of the screen case. I believe it is due to the resisting forces fighting the screen from opening too easily. With that said I would absolutely buy from them again and recommend them.

Great Product. Reliable and durable

I bought this laptop in the Spring of 2018 because my laptop at the time (also a Lenovo) was falling apart after seven years of use. I did a ton of search before buying and and I could not be more satisfied. After several years of use, this laptop is going strong. A major reason I bought this computer over others I was looking at was the four fans at the back of the laptop. They are a bit loud a times, but so worth having. My computer has never overheated, and I can play the games I like without a problem. There are no really bugs or issues. I have read other reviews and I can say haven't had a problem or anything like that. The only problem I do get sometimes it is doesn't always seem to completely shut down and ends up sluggish the next morning upon boosting up. But a quick restart always solve it. But that's only reason I didn't give it 5 stars. If I could, I'd give it 4 1/2 stars.
This computer holds up well. I do think the charging jack has become loose or pushed in too far, making it harder to charge, but I own that up to my own mistakes and not the fault of the computer. I have trip over the cord quiet a few times, yanked the cord out, and accidentally dropped it, and save for the jack loosening, it's held up. I am sad they disconnected it because it is an excellent computer and still works well, even after all this time.

A powerhouse of a machine!

I bought this computer maybe three years ago already to do computational applied mathematical research. I can max this machine out 24/7 for weeks on end (not kidding) without any problem whatsoever! Am I happy! You bet I am! Best research laptop I ever owned (and I owned quite a few,). I can only mention the flimsy construction overall however. Especially the screen. It feels like opening up the cover and the thing will warp popping right out. But it doesn't. Frankly, this is not a machine you can bang around so beware. The screen is not the best either; not very bright. But you have to compromise somewhere; I care about raw power first. My displays are exclusively math graphs. Yes, some other laptops will have brighter displays, but my budget was limited; so I am happy. Best performance for the money.

Not just for gamers!

I have bought this laptop over 2 years ago and it is amazing but I have had a problem where my key lights have turned off and I don't know how to turn them back on is there any help I can get or any specific hotkey

the lights in the keyboard turnedoff

Device is Very goood .!!Perfect for Gaming.Speaker quality is little a bit low Bjt Performance is wayyy more Excellent other laptops .

Amazing device

Solid processor.  A little disappointed with lack of storage.

It’s ok

Terrific machine! Fast and responsive. Love it! I recommend the Lenovo to for students and professionals alike.

Mike's Missive

It's a good laptop for who is starting to get into the games, but for who is used laptops and computers for years i wouldn't suggest this one to you. Lenovo legion y520 has a few problems one of them is lag drops and other is RAM but it can be fixed easily.

First review

Great machine, love it in every way, dofo would recommend

Fantastic

Good performing laptop, I'm using it for music production and gaming.

Good performing Laptop.

Bought this over a month ago, and so far it has been flawless! Highly recommend for anyone

Great product

My first thought with this laptop was amazing because I kept on researching and asking my friends for reviews about this laptop and it reached my standards as a photographer and I really need this to make my work easier and faster.

The Best Laptop

Really good decent gaming laptop decent FPS in all new games 60 or higher loving it so far thanks to lenovo

Good gaming laptop

good performance, perfect quality & at the same time it's very fast, the only thing that i am not happy with is it's battery, other things are perfect.

Good performance

There is only one point to criticise for me. It is the backlight of the keyboard. I have a disease of retinitis pigmentosa. It makes it really difficult to see the red light. If there would have been a chance to change the color of the it would be perfect. Thx:-)

Retinitis pigmentosa fights with red light keyboar

I like the view, the picture quality is very high and clear! High level games do not stutter and it can accommodate any game. Te battery is strong and the keyboard is very comfortable! I'm in love with this laptop!

Gaming made real!!!

The deal was great and I was very excited to receive the laptop. First red flag was when I saw a sticker on the box that says that the laptop was tested for re-use. When I made the purchase, the description clearly stated that it was Brand New. The first game that was installed, which was a simple steam game that didn't require any major specs, after 30min the laptop ran hot and it crashed with a blue screen. I rebooted the laptop 5 times and each time I tried to run the game again, it would crash with the blue screen. 
I know Lenovo makes good products, and I will probably buy another. It was just bad luck I guess.

Big disappointment

Good sounds but i cannot give 5 because the battery not really well compare to my previous laptop i use

Almost prefect Legion

Excellent laptop for your daily use for gaming, work, multimedia

Lenovo Y520 Gaming laptop

One of the best laptops I have ever owned. Fast and reliable

Best Laptop

I got speaker  issues within five days of purchase but rather than that laptop is super smooth and fast

Coustmer

Nice performance and easy to use, with a nice look

Very good

A great computer so far for our large storage needs for our non-profit organization. Thank you!

Not Just for Gaming

After ordering and waiting over two weeks, I receive an email cancelling my order!

Dream machine

Excellent. Even though this computer is for gaming, it is proving to be an excellent device for managing social media marketing for our non-profit organization

More Than Just a Gaming Device

Awesome Graphic quality, display and nice keyboard. For a price range, I think I got the best option I could find in market as of now.

Great product for the price

Bought it few weeks ago. Have been putting it through so intensive gaming sessions and its performing really well for the price. Not really budging from the 60fps in most of my games. Heat seems good as long as you put it on a table or flat surface. Battery life is not the greatest but not many gaming laptops have great battery life. Certain times screens brightness/coloring seems a bit dull but i don't have any issues with that as only movies/shows that have a night scene is it really bad.  I gave this a 5 because its really a great budget laptop, for gaming, photo editing, video editing, coding and much more. It is an outdated model (i still got the 16gb with 256ssd and 1060 but don't let that fool you from its performance

Great Budget Gaming Laptop!

So happy to have bought this. Very fast.
The monitor refresh is fast and smooth

Awesome laptop

Well balanced components, extremely powerful computer, more than enough for the average user
