one of our favorite laptops gets upgraded with a 4k screen I'm Dan Ackerman this is the Lenovo y50 4k Edition a couple of months ago we reviewed the Lenovo y50 I was a 15 inch gaming laptop that had mid-level two decent components could do some very nice gaming but it was in a small reasonably attractive case the screen however was not our favorite part a little bit washed out not the better not one of the better displays that we've seen the I was regular 1920 by 1080 display we have got however now an upgraded version with an optional 4k display that's a full 3840 by 2160 display and besides just being a higher resolution this version actually just plain looks nicer than the regular 1080p display it's it's brighter it's less washed out looks better from sort of off angles and that's all the important things that you want in a multimedia laptop especially a game playing one now if you want to drive games at that full 4k resolution that's gonna be a little bit tough this does not have the Supertop and mobile graphics card it's got an nvidia 860m they're actually up to the 900 series now although that's brand brand new you're probably not going to see that in too many products until 2015 that's it this is fine for casual and mainstream gaming we even knocked some games all the way up to 4k by dialing down the detail settings a little bit and I think that's actually a more fun resolution to play at and I would trade the higher resolution for some lower texture and detail settings but you can find that perfect balance for you maybe even going back down to 1080 and cranking the detail settings further up it's still a fairly inexpensive laptop considering that it's an attractive touchscreen 15 inch laptop with a graphics card and with the 4k screen the original version was about eleven or twelve hundred dollars this 4k version gets your core i7 CPU that Nvidia 860 m chip and the 4k touch display all for $14.99 I'm Dan Akron and that is the Lenovo y50 4k Edition
