This laptop has heating issue. It will start power off abruptly in few days.
Please don't waste money with that.

  Good morning,
  I had recently bought a Lenovo Legion Y530 in Lenovo web, very good offer (900 euros). Until this moment, I had used an old portable with LCD screen. I have noticed I find the LED screen very bright... The last weeks I had been thinking and trying different configurations and programs to reduce the screen brightness, but I'm not happy with the result, the screen is still too much bright for me. I think the problem is the backlight LED screen is very bright. I have a monitor NEC with tecnology LED that gives me an option to reduce LED backlight, still my LED TV gives me the chance to do it. Do you know if there is a program, aplication or option that allows me to do this on my portable PC? I'm looking for that and I don't find anything. Thank you for your help. Sorry for my poor english. Nice article.

Is it good laptop for an entry level gaming player?

I beg to differ @ the fans kicking while idling. Right now I'm using the y530 i7 1060 and it's very quiet while idling or doing light office tasks (chrome etc). It's dead silent. Sometimes it does spin up the fans very slowly and then turns them off, but I didn't find it annoying at all. The laptop has the latest BIOS update though.

A couple of months ago I was using the y530 i5 1050ti. I did notice intermittent spin up of the fans with that one. I'm not sure about it, but I think there's a BIOS update that fixes the issue.

About temps. Throttlestop running -125mv on the CPU cores and CPU cache. No repaste (yet). CPU temps hit 80-85C while GPU stays at 70-75C (stock) after 1-3 hours of gaming/load.

Main issue with the Legion is the light bleed (144Hz display). It's hard to find one with minimal or no light bleed. Watch out for dead pixels as well.

 1. In comibination of i7 and 1050ti - you will get 130W power adapter which is unable to supply enough power in situations of full load of GPU and CPU. Your battery will start to drain even though laptop is plugged in...
2. In i7 + 1060 you will get 170W power adapter which does not have an issue as above.
3. Mind that what is written in this review does not match experiences of other users:
-intermittent kicking on of the fans to 100% when no load
-loud fans/poor thermals (could be solved by repasting and UV)

Anyways, in this price range and simillar chasis it is a difficult choice, as each of the machines have their cons and pros.

Inteding to buy the model below:

Lenovo Legion Y530-15IC, Intel® Core™ i7-8750H up to 4.10 GHz, Coffee Lake, 15.6", Full HD, IPS, 144Hz, 8GB, 512GB SSD, GeForce GTX 1050 Ti 4GB, Free DOS, Black

On the market there also the NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1060 6GB model (all other specs the same as the previous). The GTX 1060 150 EUR more expensive tho. Does it worth? Considering the laptop has only 8 GB of RAM.

Thanks!

Not at all! 70-80c are pretty normal underload. When it hits around 94c, that's when it goes above normal levels.

What is better - Xiaomi Gaming or Lenovo Legion?
Xiaomi is metal, but Lenovo has keyboard with num pad...

The I7-8750H rips through any task, what a great addition to the mobile processor line

I think I'm going to buy this laptop on January 2019, I really like the keyboard and the display, but I don't like the camera position on this laptop

Thanks for the review! Could you confirm if this model runs with G-Sync? Some descriptions say yes, and others no... I cannot find any confirmation on the Lenovo bestie either... thank you!

42dB and you call the laptop loud? or is that a typo?

I have the laptop and the temperature when i turn it on is 39 Celsius and when under normal load it is 45 celsius, while gaming it reaches 75 to 80 smt, does my laptop have an issue since it is different from your tests  :(
