- Hey guys, this is Austin. Recently, we took a look at a $400 gaming laptop, But this time, we're going to see what happens when you take it up a notch. This is the Lenovo Y700. It's a 14-inch gaming laptop which, for $750, has a lot going for it. So the first thing I see is itactually looks like it has a carbon-fiber finish. I mean, that is definitely plastic, butit actually looks pretty nice. Inside here, we have the power cable, some paperwork, what I assume is the power adapter which is, actually pretty big. Open this guy up and not only do we have the14 inch display but we also have what's actually really well-built, there's very little keyboard flex. It's a backlit keyboard, it's all-metal around the palm rest. This feels like a pretty premium laptop. For ports, it's pretty straightforward. We have a power adapter, a single USB port, As well as headphone and microphone. And on this site, we have two more USB 3, HDMI and ethernet. This is definitely a gaming laptop, But I'm glad that Lenovo went a little more subtle with the styling. For the most part, it's just a black laptop with a few red accents. Sure, maybe like the speakers lookA little bit gamer-y, but for the most partonce you close it up, it's actually afairly understated looking laptop. Compared with the Inspiron 15that we did a video on a few months ago, the Lenovo is a lot smaller, which I like. Especially if you're going to be taking thisto something like school, its going to be a little bit more portable. but also, it really does look a lot more understated. While this is not a bad-looking laptop, the whole Spider-Man aesthetic is not going to be for everyone. One of the big advantages is with the display. So this guy is rocking a 14 inch, 1080p IPS panel, which looks a lot better than the TN panel on the Dell. Now, while this looks good as is, for right now, you can actually get this exact same model with a 4K display on Amazon for the same price. Now sure, it won't be able to game at 4K, but for normal use, that is going to look really, really nice at 14 inches. - [From Laptop] Hey guys, this is Austin. The Galaxy Note 7 was one of the the hottest phones of last year. - Terrible puns aside, the speakers are pretty solid here. So they're actually front-facingand from the looks of them, they're actually reasonably big. They don't get super loud, but no complaints. What is pretty good is the keyboard. So like I said earlier, it isgoing to be backlit which is niceand the travel is pretty decent. Lenovo does a good job with keyboards usually. Now the trackpad isn't quite so amazing. So, it's totally usable, but it doesn't use the Windows precision drivers, which means that it's fine but for pretty much anything more than a quick little bit of use, you're going to want a mouse. Inside, this guy is powered by quad-core i7-6700HQ16 gigabytes of DDR4 memory, as well as Radeon R7 M375 graphics. It stacks up pretty well compared to the Dell. Now while is Skylake processor compared to Kaby Lake on this guy, it's going to be an i7 versus an i5, which I would definitely prefer. It has twice as much memory. It also has a 256 gigabyte SSDon top of a 1 terabyte hard drive. This guy only has the SSD. The main thing you're giving up hereis that 1050Ti on the Dell. Now the Radeon graphics should be pretty decent here and it is $100 cheaper, so let's see how it performs. First up, we have CS: GO. Now, this is by no means a new game, but it still runs pretty well on the Lenovo. We're getting somewhere between 60 to 80 frames per second, and this is with everything cranked upon high settings at 1080p, as I get shot in the face. (laughs)Next, we have Shadow of Mordor. This is a little bit of a newer game and importantly, it looks a lot nicer than CS: GO. Now the issue here is that we do have toturn settings down just a little bit. So right now we're running at 900p on Medium andwe're getting anywhere between 30 and 40 frames per second. It is playable, but it's not thegreatest experience in the world. I think that's kind of a trend with the Lenovo. It can definitely handle gaming, no doubt, but for a lot of newer titles, you are going to have to turn the settings down to around medium or so. One game the Y700 can definitely handle is Overwatch. So again here on 1080p at medium settings, we're anywhere between 40 to 50 frames per second. It's a pretty good experience, butone of the nice things about the Lenovois it can handle more than just gaming. Taking that same gameplay footage that we just recordedand bring it inside Adobe Premiere, you can seethat this is also not a bad editing PC. So with stuff like a Core i7 and 16 gigs of RAM, inside Premiere, that actually runs pretty well. Now, to be fair, this is only 1080p footage, but we are playing it at full resolution and even stuff like scrubbing through the timeline is nice and smooth. The Lenovo Y700 definitely isn'ta perfect gaming laptop, butthere's a lot to like here. The screen is great, the specs are pretty solid. The only real issue here is thatthe graphics could just be better. But, for the price, there's not a lot to complain about. So, as always, I'll have a linkto check this guy out in the description. I'm curious, would you want to pick up the Y700?Let me know in the comments belowand I will catch you in the next one.
