In the following review we are dealing with the differences to the already tested version. The large price difference to the entry-level configuration is explained by the Intel i7-4710HQ quad-core CPU and a 512 GB SSD. Starting from 1399 Euros, ~$1838 (1199 Euros, ~$1575, without operating system), the UHD display we are focusing on with a resolution of 3840x2160 pixels is used. Looking at the aggressive entry level price of only 899 Euros, ~$1181 (i5-4200M, 860M), we immediately find the explanation for that extremely bad panel. Our conclusion: great package, but disappointing display with low brightness and contrast, not to mention the poor color accuracy and the limited viewing angles.
#NVIDIA GEFORCE GTX 860M PRICE FULL#
In our first test of the Lenovo IdeaPad Y50-70 we went through a configuration for the US market, equipped with a Full HD display as offered in many shops in Germany. Sounds like a clear victory, there is, however, a catch. A lot of performance in a smart and mobile chassis at an attractive price. Probably it's exactly this balancing act that makes the device interesting for a large clientele. The device is explicitly advertised as a gaming notebook, even though its design (15.6-inch, 4 kilograms, 24 millimeters height) and equipment (Intel Core i7-4710HQ, Nvidia GeForce GTX 860M, SSD) would allow it to be part of the high-performance multimedia segment. The Lenovo Y50 is one of the most interesting products in the 2014 portfolio of the Chinese hardware giant. For the original German review, see here.
