Has anyone had any issues with backlight bleed? My screen has a bit but I don't know if I'm being fussy...

Let us know if you find somewhere affordable to buy that cable! I think for £40 it's not worth it at all

OK for info any Y700 buyers after checking my warranty at lenovo com by entering serial number and finding it only had 159 days left had online chat with Tech support who were very helpful and explained initially set at manufacturing date whilst in chat uploaded receipt and they updated it there and then. asked about 3 year extended warranty that is listed on website at £62 so cheaper than via Box.co.uk and confirmed this includes collection and dispatch shipping given that the European repair center for these is in Germany seems a no brainer.

For info on extra Sata cable see here https://download.lenovo.com/consumer/mobiles_pub/ideapad_y700-15_17isk_15acz_touch-15isk_hmm_201510.pdf

Part number 5C10k25544 seems only available at right price from states unfortunately if you google it you will find u tube installation video.

Merry Xmas with your new toy

I almost went the HP Omen but did not like the reviews on the screen flickering at anything over 50% brightness.

The screen on the lenovo is amazing you will be happy just need to source the missing cable to drop in a 750SSD another deal !!

Let me know what you think when you get it.

Check your warranty start date at Lenovo web site mine started in March so need to get that changed seems nice unit any comments ??

Anyone who got this are you pleased with it managed to get it but not opened yet just wondered what you thought of Lenovo quality as found good deal via HP on HP Omen.

May I ask how well this might run a game like Overwatch? :smiley: My desktop can do high/medium at 60fps. I'm looking for something better than my PC. I have a GTX 750, with otherwise average parts. Thank you for any help!

any deals similar to this? Im in need of a gaming laptop which can play dota2 and wow on high settings....looking to spend no more than £700. Is this worth the money? http://www.saveonlaptops.co.uk/9S7-16J612-408-MSI-GL62-6QD-408UK_1955707.html

price is £849 is it correct?

I paid £600 for a laptop with this graphics card but a 17 inch that I got from America last year it's certainly capable of running most games at a great frame rate and this is a pretty good price for the UK

Thanks OP ordered first thing this morning

I agree. The 860M/960M are NOT a downclocked GTX960 but a re-branded 750Ti. They aren't powerful enough for 1080p/60fps in modern games at the lowest settings. Wait for the GTX1050Ti/RX460 based laptops to come out as they will be far better for about £100 more.

Deals gone :disappointed: the other deal they have now i was hoping for at least a 960m ideally

Did you go for it ??

See they have put it back up to £849 now and added £10 to warranty !! makes you feel beter if you bought one!

Well spotted OP and thanks,

Been watching price of this for a few days and this is the lowest in the UK I have seen so gone for it.

From what I have read this offers best value/spec for £££

Did anyone go for the 3 year warranty at £91 was tempted but wondered if cheaper else where i.e customer covers delivery and pick up cost via lenovo £71

Whilst this will work well with a USB 3.0 external drive perhaps the Seagate 2Tb (argos deal) from what I have read it read write speeds are better if its installed internally and for that we need the link cable that we will need the 2.5" SATA link cable that we need to identify a source for.

Before you all pull the trigger just check the GTX 960 out please. 700 quid on that card is a lot of dough for 2 year old card. Pascal blows it out of the water and then buries what's left

Is there space in this for a hdd as well as the ssd? And is it easy to access?

Thanks for the guidance anyway, I'm just placing my order now.


Going for it, thinking that worst case a better deal comes up I'll cancel/return the order asap.

A good laptop :o

very tempting price. But i'm put off by the look, especially where the screen is connected to the keyboard
voted hot anyway

Understood, if so then this is about the best laptop deal there will be this weekend. Whack in a HDD and you are good to go

did you pull the trigger?

buy it. find it cheaper elsewhere in the next 4 days then retune it for a refund or call to match prices. you will have 14 day return period as distance selling.

Price has dropped now. Seriously considering this but will wait a little longer I think see what else comes up. Thanks for posting OP :smiley:

Considering this...... Think there will be many other black Friday deals like this?

The i7 reviews aren't great on there either.

this laptop appears to have many reviews where the user highlights issues with the device within the first few days although users also highlight that when it works, it is meant to be a good gaming laptop. Good price.

Ok its just when you look at website its reduced against rrp by £150, looks good deal for £700

Isnt the 849 the discounted price? Not a further discount?

good specs for the price so heat from me. shame it's so ugly :disappointed:

Ah okay. Good to know, I was looking at this laptop the other day on amazon but the reviews put me off https://www.amazon.co.uk/Lenovo-Notebook-i7-6700HQ-External-Graphics/dp/B015Q297M8?th=1

I didn't realise amazon didn't separate the reviews based on the chip inside. I haven't seen this laptop cheaper that the price you've stated.
