    Can the common hardware be upgraded like ram?

    • Clear on 06/11/2019 - 20:46

      Yes

    I don't think it's a good price for the spec. Double memory and bigger processor was selling for 144.20 extra 9 months ago. The 8% cashback of $72.02 might sweeten the deal a bit more though but upgrading it to a higher spec would basically eat up the saving.

            @Bellpop: It is functionality for cost or value for the customer we judge here, not manufacture dates.

      IMO every 144.20 bux will add some extra values but this is not a bad deal for the people who are stick to a budget and looking for a gaming laptop under $1k.

        Won't be good for gaming if underpowered.

        • Seedy seed on 06/11/2019 - 22:09

          Im using a asus 505dd. Similar specs, smaller ssd. Paid $840 and it does the job for me very well.

            @Seedy seed: Depends on the games you play. I could say my Note 10+ does fairly well for gaming too…. Doesn't mean it will run the recent AAA titles at 60fps.

            @Seedy seed: I own this exact same laptop but with higher configuration, 8750H 16GB 1TB+128GB GTX 1050. It's excellent for light gaming, mid-intensity productivity applications,etc. Can easily support a couple of virtual machines. I have no complaints execept that it's keyboard and surrounding area is a smudge magnet. Everything depends on the type of applications you plan to use.

      The storage setup was different though. Which one is better comes down to use case.

    • wetsandwich on 07/11/2019 - 11:09

      It's not the very worst deal for the price, but in this day and age it's a struggle to really call a 1050 a 'gaming' card. Any modern game is going to really struggle. It will still run, but yeah. At this price point I'd expect a 1060 at least.

    Gtx 1050 is so outdated though

    • capslock janitor on 06/11/2019 - 21:46

      Should it be a 1650 or 60 at least?

        1650 minimum
        1060 max q ideal
        1660 living it up

        • Blitzfx on 07/11/2019 - 00:48

          What about 1050 Ti? I see there are a few 1050 ti laptops but they're more around the $1100 range (with 9300 CPU)
          And those GPUs you listed…. are you going to find them in the low $1k range?

          • MuddyClear on 07/11/2019 - 07:49
            +2

            @Blitzfx: Gtx1650 gaming laptops are around $1100 when on sale. Hopefully less come Black Friday.

            P.s. I’ve seen a dell G5 with gtx1060 go on sale for $1k.

            • Top G on 07/11/2019 - 12:59

              @MuddyClear: Yeh this seema kinda overrated for the money tbh

            • FireRunner on 07/11/2019 - 14:24

              @MuddyClear: That G5 with 1060 was a clearance deal. We won't be seeing that again soon

              • MuddyClear on 07/11/2019 - 17:45

                @FireRunner: Even when it does come around most of us will miss out as it will be out of stock within 1-2hrs!

  • Acelito on 06/11/2019 - 21:41

    Any plans on something slightly higher specced?
    Was just about to buy a dell after considering the y540 and similar gaming laptops, but a better deal on a Lenovo gaming laptop would probably pull me back to Lenovo.

  • netRAT on 06/11/2019 - 21:46

    Yeah…
    Need the 9750H variant.
    Don't care about GFX…

    • Acelito on 06/11/2019 - 23:00

      I’m looking at the same model as you, I’ve got it configured for $2060, wbu?

  • Limosine on 07/11/2019 - 06:50

    I have the I7 version and it's great. This would need to be upgraded a little.

    Yeah, 1050's a bit old, but it's still probs great for Medium-High 1080P games.

  • lostn on 07/11/2019 - 08:52

    I wouldn't game on a 1050. Pay a bit more.

  • [Deactivated] on 07/11/2019 - 09:54

    250nit kills it. I don't recommend buying a screen with less than 300nit brightness.

    otherwise I love the build and feel of Y530

  • Typical16-bitEnjoyer on 07/11/2019 - 13:24

    Processor perfectly fine for gaming. Near 10000 passmark. You don't need 6 cores.

    The graphics card….okay but not good enough for this price. Not enough to convince me to upgrade from my Ryzen laptop.

    Probably a good idea to post up the decibel rating for this gaming laptop as well in case Shung wants to buy this.

    Doesn't seem to have spectacular specs. [Dell G3 for $919.20] has GTX 1050 Ti, Same CPU, a smaller SSD but includes a 1TB HDD. Similar price and don't need to wait for cashback.

  • ozstig on 08/11/2019 - 09:45

    Looking at this more for photo/video editing and general use. Seems like a reasonable alternative to ultrabook style laptops. Price seems pretty good compared to Dell XPS and Surface Laptop.
    With cashback and TRS looking around $830 for this.
