Similarly, accessories are limited to generic USB devices and other official items sold by Lenovo as the system lacks a dedicated docking port. There are no GPS, SIM, or WWAN options as expected from a dedicated gaming notebook. High-end gaming machines typically carry 2x2 WLAN options or even gigabit options like certain Asus ROG models for faster speeds. Though it is a dual band (2.4 GHz and 5 GHz) module, the card is only a 1x1 configuration, meaning a maximum transfer speed of 150 Mbps and 433 Mbps on wireless-n and wireless-ac networks, respectively.

WLAN is provided by an Intel wireless-AC 3160 half-mini PCIe card with integrated Bluetooth 4.0 support. Nonetheless, our comparison table below shows that there are a number of other gaming notebooks that come in a hair thinner than the Y70.

Lenovo are clearly aiming for a thinner and lighter solution than the competition with the 2014 Y Series after experimenting with SLI solutions on the previous generation Y models. There is no denying the thinness and weight of the Y70 at just 25.9 mm and 3.5 kg, respectively, compared to other 17-inch gamers like the nearly 50 mm Asus G750 and MSI GT72. The advantages of the Lenovo lie instead on visual appeal and thickness. In this regard, we find the thicker builds of the Asus G750, iBuyPower Valkyrie CZ-17, and Alienware 17 to be noticeably more robust. Since the Y70 does not incorporate a unibody design, these pieces can more easily chip or bend if the user is not careful when transporting the notebook.
The plastic around the corner ventilation grilles, for example, will easily creak. Even so, the rear ventilation grilles and hinge are plastic and feel like they belong on more inexpensive mainstream or budget models. This is not normally discussed in our reviews, but since our original Y50 came with a slightly damaged rear corner, we find it fitting to mention that the Y70 possesses no such issues. Our Y70 model suffers from no manufacturing or shipping defects. The display still wobbles slightly when typing and especially when readjusting, so it could have benefited from a tighter hinge. Twisting of the base is also a non-issue, though the lid itself is not nearly as rigid. Fortunately, the rest of the chassis holds up very well to depressions and warping, such as around the palm rests, on the center of the keyboard, and on the bottom of the notebook. However, it’s worth noting that this is common on a large number of 17-inch gaming notebooks simply due to the larger surface area. However, the real question remains: Has the chassis been properly scaled up to accommodate the larger form factor?Īlmost immediately we can see that the outer lid is now a bit more susceptible to pressure down the center. Additional differences to the non-Touch Y40 and Y50 include an edge-to-edge glass display for much improved screen protection and aesthetics. More details and characteristics of these surfaces are consequently explored in our earlier reviews. If compared to the Y40, the Y70 drops the carbon fiber checkerboard texture and brushed aluminum base. Physical qualities of the chassis are nearly identical to the Y50, all the way down to the jet black rubberized palm rests, brushed aluminum lid, red trims, and metal maintenance hatch. Can the Y70 find a market in this post GTX 900M world? With the recent launch of the GTX 970M and 980M still on the pricey side, there is no shame in settling for a GTX 860M to save on costs with a small sacrifice on performance. The $1399 starting price pits the Y70 directly against other 17-inch gaming models like the Asus ROG G750 and MSI GT72 Dominator, while its stylish demeanor makes comparisons against the more expensive Aorus X7 v2 and the just released Acer Nitro V17 inevitable. With specs largely the same as its smaller siblings, the Y70 targets mainstream to hardcore gamers who aren’t satisfied with 14-inch or 15-inch screens.

As expected, the 17.3-inch Y70 gamer is the largest member of the family yet with its multi-touch 1080p IPS display, Core i7-4710HQ CPU, GTX 860M graphics, up to 16 GB DDR3L RAM and a 1 TB SSHD or dedicated SSD storage. With the Y70 Touch on hand, we can finally complete our analyses on the trio of Lenovo’s Y Series that started with our original Y40 and Y50 reviews published earlier this year.
