Pros

On linux, every maker of software has to jump on board and change the way they do icons. Dpi scaling issues are to be expected with some programs but everything looks amazing when they have hidpi support.

The brightness has 3 settings, off-low-high. I have a small hotspot (about 30-40 pixels) on the monitor that i can see when the area is a solid color. Everything is crystal clear on the screen and viewing angles are very good.

The ultra hd display sounds great but they really messed up the color yellow on the display. It appears to be more of a dark mustard color with a noticeable green tint. When i googled images of the simpsons, they just look wrong.

The computer works fine and is fast.

Packaging/appearance


The same clips play back smooth as butter on the y50.


The number on thing that caught me off gaurd was no touch screen.


There's some software that attempts to use the webcam to monitor where your finger goes on the screen to minic touch screen abilities.


I haven't used the included dvd player (haven't even removed the packaging!

Competitiveness


16gb of ram and a 256gb ssd are included as well.

    Its a really nice laptop really fast bloatware is close to none at the beginning of course the lenovo stuff is thereit will do whatever you ask it for the only cons in general i have to list regarding this laptop are as follows1 massive screen bleed i dont know if its the 4k or some manufacturing defect but the screen bleeds a lot not too noticeable during regular use but it is a nuisance when viewing a darker movie or a black screen


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    Not too much of a problem really but annoying considering you paid so much for a fast computer


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    Only issue is that the screen is ahead if its time so many programs are not set up for 4k yet and therefore some things may be extremely small


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    The other problem is the lower battery life


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    My battery lasts about 3 hours if i strech it but this is expexted of a gaming oriented laptop
