Lenovo Y70 Touch review

A massive gaming laptop for a great price – what's the catch?

Slick design ; Decent graphics power ; Surprisingly good speakers ; Attractive price

Short battery life ; Poor keyboard design ; Too few ports for size ; Desk space hog

If you can look past its large size and puzzling design flaws, here's a gaming notebook with a unique design and capable hardware for a reasonable price.

Lenovo Y70 Touch

The Lenovo Y70 Touch is an entry-level gaming laptop with a solid mix of performance and battery life and a rare, but welcome, 17-inch touch screen.

Large 17-inch touch display. JBL speakers and subwoofer provide good sound. Comfortable keyboard. Solid performance in gaming and productivity alike.

Keyboard could be spread out a bit more. Battery life falls a bit short.

Conclusion The entry-level gaming category is a bit crowded, but Lenovo has delivered a solid system at a reasonable price. The overall performance isn't mind-blowing, but it will support current-generation games with decent resolution and frame rates....

Lenovo Y70 Notebook Review

Touchscreen gamer. Lenovo launches the biggest IPS touchscreen Y Series model yet with the 17.3-inch Y70. Features remain largely unchanged from the Y50, including the GTX 860M GPU. For $1399, can this sleek black and red powerhouse hold its own...

The Lenovo Y70 Touch addresses the major issue we found on the standard Y50. The underwhelming matte TN panel on the smaller model is now a bright edge-to-edge glass IPS panel with outstanding color reproduction and contrast, especially for a...
