I have a Lenovio Legion Y520 for 3 years now and I don't recommend it.

Battery is dead needs to stay plugged in (typical in gaming laptops), some keys from keyboard are falling down (WASD, most used), graphic card goes yolo sound and heat while playing twitch stream, just lol.

First of all stay away from lenovo’s chit products.


1) What resolution will you play as?
2) Do you want to play at highest quality setting or do you not care about this?
3) Do you want Ray Tracing?
-Some people say good things come to those who wait, truth is, good things come to those who work..... who work later.....who work harder...... who are willing to go further than anyone else to get them. If you're waiting for good things to come to you, you'll be waiting for a pretty long time.

-I'd rather live life saying "I failed" than "I could have"

Lenovo gaming laptops always look good on paper for the money

Would not recommend/10
They have a long history of being chit. From pre-installed spyware and superfish to abysmal heat management and locking out upgrades in the bios not on their approved overpriced and short whitelist, good luck if you want to change to a better wifi card. Garbage keyboards and bad customer "service" if you ever think to use their warranty

I got a MSI off Newegg with the 1660TI, close to the 2060 but had a better screen in 17" for less than $1000 a few months back.

I don't use it for many games (mainly editing with a better GPU) but it would play LoL just fine. Same hexacore chip, it fast.

Keep shopping.
