Lenovo Legion Y545 (15.6-inch, 2019) Series

The Lenovo Legion Y545 has an edgier design than the rest of the Legion gaming laptop lineup without going over-the-top. It's loaded with some great components for its price including a choice of three Nvidia graphics cards.

The Y545 isn't as thin as its linemates or competitors and lacks extras like RGB per-key lighting and keyboard macros.

Like its predecessor, the Y7000P, Lenovo's Legion Y545 outperforms its price.

Excellent 1080p gaming performance as tested (with GTX 1660 Ti). Bright screen. Reasonably priced. Supports two internal storage drives. Ports are well-placed.

Relatively quiet fans, but chassis gets hot while gaming. Awkward webcam location. Number-pad layout isn't familiar. No media card reader.

Bottom Line: Lenovo's new entry-level gaming notebook, the Legion Y545 provides smooth framerates on its 15.6-inch full HD screen in today's games. It's a good alternative to the Acer Predator Helios 300, although its chassis gets a little toasty.
