The Gaming Laptop: Why should you consider it?

The Lenovo IdeaPad Legion Y520 is a multimedia laptop that offers high-end hardware and configurations. The sleek chassis and red backlit keyboard make it look great.

The keyboard has a very small vertical travel of 1.8 millimeters and is easy to use. Expert typists can type 100+ words per minute easily. The clever red-backlighting allows you to type in any light condition. Thanks to its thermal engineering, the laptop stays cool all day.

The touchpad is an upside-down trapezoid that has a unique shape. Although it may take some time to get used to, it is definitely worth the effort. The trackpad recognizes gestures well, provided you don't bump it.

It is very portable for a gaming laptop. It is 1.01 inches thick and weighs in at 5.5 pounds. The sleek and smudge-resistant body is elegant. Solid networking is assured with optional Bluetooth 4.1 and up to 802.11 AC WI-FI (1x1)
