hey guys this is Austin recently we took a look at a $400 gaming laptop but this time we're going to see what happens when you take it up a notch this is the Lenovo Y 700 it's a full taste gaming laptop which for 750 dollars have a lot going for it so the first thing I see is that actually looks like it has like that's a carbon fiber finish I mean that is definitely plastic but it actually looks pretty nice so here we have the power table some paperwork when I assume is the power adapter which is actually pretty big open this guy up and not only do we have the 14 inch display but we also have what's actually really well-built there's very little keyboard flex it's a backlit keyboard it's all metal around the palm rest this feels like a pretty premium laptop purports it's pretty straightforward we have a power adapter a single USB port as well as headphone and microphone and then on this side we have two more USB 3 HDMI and Ethernet this is definitely a gaming laptop but I'm glad little Lenovo went a little more subtle with the styling for the most part is just a black laptop with a few red accents sure maybe like the speaker's look a little bit gamer II but for the most part once you close it up it's actually a fairly under stage looking laptop compared with the Inspiron 15 did we did a video on a few months ago DeLillo is a lot smaller which I like especially we're going to be taking this to something like school it's going to be a little more portable so it also really does look a lot more understated well this is not a bad looking laptop the whole spider-man aesthetic is not going to be for everyone one of the big advantages is with the display so this guy is rocking a 14 inch 1080p IPS panel which looks a lot better than the 10 panel on the Dell so it looks good as is but right now you can actually get this exact same model with a 4k display on Amazon for the same price now sure it won't be able to game at 4k but for normal use that is going to look really really nice at 14 inches hey guys lost in the galaxy note 7 was one of the hottest phones of last year terrible puns aside the speakers are pretty solid here but actually front-facing and from the looks of them they're actually reasonably big they don't get super loud but no complaint what is pretty good as the keyboard so like I said earlier it is going to be backlit which is nice and the treble is pretty decent Lenovo does a good job of keyboards usually now the tripod isn't quite so amazing so it's totally usable but it doesn't use the windows precision drivers which means that it's fine but for pretty much anything more than a quick little bit of use you're going to want to mount inside this guy's powered by a quad core i7 6700 HQ 16 gigabytes of ddr4 memory as well as radeon r7 and 375 graphics it specs up pretty well compared to the dell and while it is a skylake processor compared to kb lake on this guy it's going to be an i7 versus an i5 which I would definitely prefer is twice as much memory it also has a 256 gigabyte SSD on top of a one terabyte hard drive this guy only has the SSD the main thing you're giving up here is that 1050 Ti on the Dell now the Radeon graphics should be pretty decent here and it is $100 cheaper so let's see how it performs first up we have v go other than by no means the new game but it still runs pretty well on the lenovo we're getting somewhere between 60 to 80 frames per second and this is what everything cranked up on high settings 1080p as I get shot in the face next to a shadow of mordor if this is a little bit of a newer game and importantly it looks a lot nicer than csgo now the issue here is that we do have to turn the settings down just a little bit so right now we're running in 900 PM medium and we're getting anywhere between 30 to 40 frames per second it is playable but it's not the greatest experience in the world I think that's kind of a trend with the lenovo it can definitely handle gaming no doubt but for a lot of newer titles you are going to have to turn things down to around medium or so one game the white 700 can definitely handle overwatch so again here on 1080p at medium settings where anywhere between 40 or 50 frames per second it's a pretty good experience but one of the nice things about the lenovo is they can handle more than just games taking that same gameplay footage that we just recorded and bringing inside Adobe Premiere you can see it's also not a bad editing PC so it's stuff like a core i7 and 16 gigs of RAM inside premiere it actually runs pretty well and we experience only 1080p footage but we are playing it at full resolution and even stuff like describing to the timeline is nice and smooth but lenovo white 700 definitely isn't a perfect gaming laptop but there's a lot to like here the screen is great the specs are pretty solid the only real issue here the graphics could just be better but for the price there's not a lot to complain about so as always I'll have a link to check I am the description I'm curious would you want to pick up the white 700 let me know in the comments below and I will catch you in the next one
