Expensive given its last-generation graphics hardware
The Lenovo Ideapad Y900 is a solid gaming laptop. Even with a last-gen NVIDIA GeForce GTX 980m video card, the Lenovo Ideapad Y900 performs well for gamers and multimedia creators. Gears of War 4 looks and plays nice with this machine in Ultra settings an...
The internals of the Lenovo Ideapad Y900 scream best-in-class gaming machine. No one can argue that. It's the details that drive that point home, though.The keyboard is fantastic and so is the software that you manage it with. Though loud, the mechanisms...
Beautiful Nvidia G-Sync display, Relatively quiet fans, Solid, clicky keyboard with dedicated hotkeys, Overclockable, Stellar audio, Good battery life for a gaming laptop
Last-gen GTX 980M graphics at a high price (though Pascal update is coming), GTX 980M is not VR-ready, Awkward number-pad layout, Fans can come on abruptly, CPU runs hot
With an excellent G-Sync screen, unique design flourishes, and a pleasing and colorful mechanical keyboard, Lenovo's new high-end gamer is impressive. But given its high price and last-generation graphics, gamers may want to wait for an update—or at leas...

The Ideapad Y900-17 is a gaming laptop that plays demanding games at high settings, offers an array of features, and has an attractive display. Too bad it doesn't use more current graphics technology...
relatively low surface and core temperatures, large keys with dedicated Macro keys, RAID 0 compatibility; 3x storage bays, unique design; strong build quality, wide keyboard backlight options, USB Type-C w/ Thunderbolt 3, very loud internal speakers, rem
disappointing Turbo Mode; high CPU temperature under extreme loads, keyboard does not offer "true" individually-lit RGB keys, loud pulsating fan behavior during low loads, sound reproduction could be more balanced, no 120 Hz/5 ms or 4K UHD display option
Lenovo is treading on deeper ground with its new Y900 and the $2000+ USD price tag proves it. While design and workmanship are sound, the new mechanical keyboard and Turbo Mode are a mixed bag. The keys feel soft and uneven and some users may not like its...
Neat and refreshing design with impeccable build quality, Configurable LED keyboard backlight with various zones and mechanical keys for gaming, Effective cooling system – the fans are seperately configurable, Supports two M.2 2280 PCIe NVMe SSDs (RAID 0
The display is a bit heavy, easy to twist due to the support of only one hinge and has distractingly big screen bezels, Unsatisfying touchpad performance, No G-Sync support for the built-in display, The fans are a bit on the noisy side, No switchable grap
The Lenovo Y900 should be treated as a premium notebook as it is. It falls into the same price category ($1 999 starting price) as the ASUS ROG G752 and Acer Predator 17 holding a few selling points over them but fails to deliver in some cases. For starte...

Its mechanical keyboard does not quite replicate the feel of a proper mechanical keyboard. But the Y900's biggest issue is its GTX 980M graphics chip, which lags behind the faster and cheaper graphics options available now...
