Lenovo Legion Y545 15.6" Gaming Laptop, i7-9750H, 16GB RAM, 1TB HDD + 512GB SSD, NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1660Ti

I like so much the product. It got 1 year guarantee and almost all features that Lenovo bring to us.Is just like the description said also the 144 Hz screen is really nice to have it.The temps are a little bit high (90-94) on Performance Mode but with some tweaks it will go normal (80-90 (just on little spikes) is almost stucked on 80-85 on Performance Mode while on Quiet Mode it cant go over 80ºC even is almost stuck on 75ºC) and maybe with repasting it could improve a little too.The battery lasts around 5-7 hours on normal load (Videos, coding) and on heavy load 3-5 hours depends on the process.The camera is down the screen so i think with a base you could use it on a easy way.I could suggest this for a first gaming laptop or just using it like a Workstation

Gaming

Note this a review for seller not the product. The 'k' key fell off the second time I use it. I suspect this a used product. I also noticed there is light scratch at the bottom of the laptop. Hope the seller is more stringent on the product quality.

So when I was looking for a decent gaming laptop, I made an unprecedented turn to Lenovo. I've never bought from them before, but with the deal (it was on sale) and the configuration, and honestly the reputation in the professional world, I decided to give them a try.The good: It is a 2019 era laptop, it (to me) was bought when they were starting to ship the 20 series nVidia gfx, literally if I waited 3 months, they were out.. That being said, the mobile 1660Ti is an amazing card and the i79750H packs a punch. I mean, until you get to the bad part of this, the system "IS" really good. Not too heavy, not too light (it is a performance laptop...) and a good screen on the LCD. A real win. Until.......The bad: Exactly 2 months after warranty expired (1 year warranty), one of the fans started making noise, then within days of infrequent use, stopped. I tracked down the part number for the fan to replace it (helpful and useful info available on the Lenovo site, yea!!). They use this company called encompass for all their official parts sales (this is the BIGGEST PROBLEM). The part was ordered, and long story short, took over 6 months (ordered in October, received part in april, no joke). This ONLY happened after I called Lenovo after several contact attempts with Encompass, who at one point CANCELED my order, only to then jack the price of the heatsink/fan combo (more on that later) from 58 to 89 dollars. After complaining to Lenovo that they canceled my order and jacked the price up, my original ticket was reopened at the original price. Still took 1.5 months (6 weeks) for a part to show up. When it did, IT WAS USED!! Had old thermal paste on it, but at that point I just didn't care, I used it as I was desperate to use my gaming laptop. Mid April I installed my 'new to me, pad for new, got a used part' heatsink/fan. 3 weeks ago (so 2.5 months) IT DIED AGAIN.I contacted encompass and did get an RMA, which I sent my bad unit back to them, at which they would send me a "new" replacement. Guess what.. Shipping date ALREADY moved back 2 times, and now is saying the same thing it said the first time, "NO ETA - FACTORY BACKORDER". I bet actual Lenovo tech's have no problem getting the part.. But I digress.. So two funny sidenotes about this. 1. Encompass current price for the originall 58, then 89 dollar unit? $160 bucks. BOY has that thing gone up in price. Funny bit #2? The fan they use is actually a VERY common fan. It is used on MANY HP, DELL, ACER and ASUS (if not more) laptops. The difference is that Lenovo uses some form of plastic injection molding/melting process so the heatsink and fan are ONE assembly, whereas most other manufacturers use screws so at least if the fans fails, a tech or customer can easily remove the fan(s) alone and not have to replace the fans AND heatsink assembly. To Lenovo's credit, it does seem at least one other version of the Y series laptop does in fact use removable fans, but I'm unable to tell if it was before or after this design.It is simply for this reason I absolutely cannot recommend this product. I shouldn't have to complain to Lenovo about their official parts supplier. I shouldn't have to endlessly wait for 6 months once, and who knows how many more months for the next one to ship, based on my previous experience with them, this still practically new laptop is going to be useless by the time I get to actually use it again. And will I have to call Lenovo AGAIN to actually make a part show up? IDK, but it's not worth the hassle, and has absolutely left me scarred from making another Lenovo purchase.The sad thing is, I work in a tech field, and our company uses hundreds of Lenovo laptops. Their on-site repair team is top notch. Their systems (they aren't GAMING units, business/enterprise class) run amazingly well. (And yes, their tech's confirmed to me back in like December when I was in the middle of waiting the last time, THEY have that part, there's no shortage of ANY part to them).The takeaway is if you are going to buy one of these, I would definitely buy an extended warranty through lenovo. When it worked, I loved it, but since I've owned it, it's sat apart waiting on a fan more than I've gotten to use it. Ugh.

great

I've had this laptop for over a year , it has sat stationary at my desk during that whole time , I have had the charger , charge port, and power brick replaced 3 times in the the last 3 months due to failure , this laptop unplugged will last less than two hours and during that time will be insanely slow and stuttery, do not waste your money, getting support to fix a faulty product even with extra warranty's is A nightmare

Camera didn't work

The battery died/swollen in couple of years, and after that it was working only while it is plugged. Drive D got corrupted, I tried so many options and none seam to fix it. To make it work I had to reset the laptop to factory setting. This is a slow laptop, also I recommend upgrading the RAM to 32GB (especially if you are a developer). I don’t understand why Lenevo does not put 32GB RAM when they ship this expensive laptop.
