15.6" FHD gaming laptop

The Lenovo IdeaPad Y500 is a 15.6-inch laptop with a 1920x1080 non-touch display. It runs on an Intel Core i7-3630QM processor with 8GB DDR3 memory and a 250GB solid state drive. Discrete NVIDIA GeForce GT650M graphics handle visual tasks. Windows 10 Home 64-bit is pre-installed.

Who this suits and who should look elsewhere

This laptop suits users wanting a ready-to-use Windows 10 machine with discrete graphics for older games and multimedia. The Blu-ray RW drive supports optical media playback and writing. Buyers needing more than 250GB of internal storage or a touchscreen display should consider other models. Those requiring newer Bluetooth versions or greater memory capacity will not find them here.

The specification that decides fit

The NVIDIA GeForce GT650M discrete graphics card is the component that determines whether this system meets a buyer's performance needs. It provides dedicated video memory for gaming and graphics workloads that integrated graphics cannot handle. If the GT650M meets the required performance level, the 250GB SSD, 8GB DDR3 RAM and Core i7-3630QM processor complete a balanced configuration for that use case.

Questions about this item

Should I choose the 250GB SSD or add a traditional hard drive?

The laptop ships with a 250GB solid-state drive and no mechanical hard drive bay is mentioned; the SSD provides fast boot and load times for the operating system and games.

What does the Core i7-3630QM at up to 3.4GHz deliver in everyday use?

The quad-core processor reaches 3.4GHz turbo for demanding tasks like video editing or gaming, while the 8GB DDR3 memory keeps multitasking smooth under Windows 10 64-bit.

What does the USB 3.0 port actually cap at for file transfers?

The single USB 3.0 connection supports up to 5Gbps theoretical bandwidth, so external SSDs or flash drives will run at their rated speeds rather than being limited by the port.
