The
Best Gaming Laptop for $750 (2017) #Helpful Post
hey
guys this is Austin recently we took
a
look at a $400 gaming laptop but this
time
we're going to see what happens
when
you take it up a notch this is the
Lenovo
Y 700 it's a full taste gaming
laptop
which for 750 dollars have a lot
going
for it so the first thing I see is
that
actually looks like it has like
that's
a carbon fiber finish I mean that
is
definitely plastic but it actually
looks
pretty nice so here we have the
power
table some paperwork when I assume
is
the power adapter which is actually
pretty
big open this guy up and not only
do
we have the 14 inch display but we
also
have what's actually really
well-built
there's very little keyboard
flex
it's a backlit keyboard it's all
metal
around the palm rest this feels
like
a pretty premium laptop purports
it's
pretty straightforward we have a
power
adapter a single USB port as well
as
headphone and microphone and then on
this
side we have two more USB 3 HDMI
and
Ethernet this is definitely a gaming
laptop
but I'm glad little Lenovo went a
little
more subtle with the styling for
the
most part is just a black laptop
with
a few red accents sure maybe like
the
speaker's look a little bit gamer II
but
for the most part once you close it
up
it's actually a fairly under stage
looking
laptop compared with the
Inspiron
15 did we did a video on a few
months
ago DeLillo is a lot smaller
which
I like especially we're going to
be
taking this to something like school
it's
going to be a little more portable
so
it also really does look a lot more
understated
well this is not a bad
looking
laptop the whole spider-man
aesthetic
is not going to be for
everyone
one of the big advantages is
with
the display so this guy is rocking
a
14 inch 1080p IPS panel which looks a
lot
better than the 10 panel on the Dell
so
it looks good as is but right now you
can
actually get this exact same model
with
a 4k display on Amazon for the same
price
now sure it won't be able to game
at
4k but for normal use that is going
to
look really really nice at 14 inches
hey
guys lost in the galaxy note 7 was
one
of the hottest phones of last year
terrible
puns aside the speakers are
pretty
solid here but actually
front-facing
and from the looks of them
they're
actually reasonably big they
don't
get super loud but no complaint
what
is pretty good as the keyboard so
like
I said earlier it is going to be
backlit
which is nice and the treble is
pretty
decent Lenovo does a good job of
keyboards
usually
now the tripod isn't quite so
amazing
so it's totally usable but it
doesn't
use the windows precision
drivers
which means that it's fine but
for
pretty much anything more than a
quick
little bit of use you're going to
want
to mount inside this guy's powered
by
a quad core i7 6700 HQ 16 gigabytes
of
ddr4 memory as well as radeon r7 and
375
graphics it specs up pretty well
compared
to the dell and while it is a
skylake
processor compared to kb lake on
this
guy it's going to be an i7 versus
an
i5 which I would definitely prefer is
twice
as much memory it also has a 256
gigabyte
SSD on top of a one terabyte
hard
drive this guy only has the SSD the
main
thing you're giving up here is that
1050
Ti on the Dell now the Radeon
graphics
should be pretty decent here
and
it is $100 cheaper so let's see how
it
performs first up we have v go other
than
by no means the new game but it
still
runs pretty well on the lenovo
we're
getting somewhere between 60 to 80
frames
per second and this is what
everything
cranked up on high settings
1080p
as I get shot in the face next to
a
shadow of mordor if this is a little
bit
of a newer game and importantly it
looks
a lot nicer than csgo now the
issue
here is that we do have to turn
the
settings down just a little bit so
right
now we're running in 900 PM medium
and
we're getting anywhere between 30 to
40
frames per second it is playable but
it's
not the greatest experience in the
world
I think that's kind of a trend
with
the lenovo it can definitely handle
gaming
no doubt but for a lot of newer
titles
you are going to have to turn
things
down to around medium or so one
game
the white 700 can definitely handle
overwatch
so again here on 1080p at
medium
settings where anywhere between
40
or 50 frames per second it's a pretty
good
experience but one of the nice
things
about the lenovo is they can
handle
more than just games taking that
same
gameplay footage that we just
recorded
and bringing inside Adobe
Premiere
you can see it's also not a bad
editing
PC so it's stuff like a core i7
and
16 gigs of RAM inside premiere it
actually
runs pretty well and we
experience
only 1080p footage but we are
playing
it at full resolution and even
stuff
like describing to the timeline is
nice
and smooth but lenovo white 700
definitely
isn't a perfect gaming laptop
but
there's a lot to like here the
screen
is great the specs are pretty
solid
the only real issue here the
graphics
could just be better but for
the
price there's not a lot to complain
about
so as always I'll have a link to
check
I
am the description I'm curious would
you
want to pick up the white 700 let me
know
in the comments below and I will
catch
you in the next one
