2.0 out of 5 starsHad to send it back

Reviewed in the United States on March 28, 2015

Style: 1TB HDVerified Purchase

At first I was very happy with my purchase, except I was concerned the package seal had been broken before I received the box.I began having problems within hours of turning on my new laptop. The space bar only responded part of the time. I started having boxes pop up asking me to do this or do that, and not being an expert, I tried to decipher if these were from Microsoft or Lenovo before accepting or rejecting. By the third day, I was having major problems. The laptop was no longer able to detect my wireless internet, even though my old laptop in the same room was picking up the signal just fine. The audio quit, and troubleshooting said it was a registry issue. System restore said it was not working. Windows Security Service was not working. And so on… I am not a computer expert, and when I buy something I need it to work at least for the manufacturer’s warranty period, and preferably long after.My old laptop here is almost 6 years old, and I’ve never encountered any of these issues with it. This one is 3 daysold.I had to send it back.I didn’t have a chance to find out if this laptop would have been great or not.

5.0 out of 5 starsI’ve had it for a good few weeks now

Reviewed in the United States on April 24, 2015

Style: 1TB HDVerified Purchase

I’ve had it for a good few weeks now, and the only issue that I have with it is that the track pad kind of spazzes out randomly, which I think it’s because I hit a combination of keys and all of a sudden everything I do on the trackpad makes me zoom in on webpages lol. That’s really the only issue.

Before I bought this a lot of the reviews I read had complaints about the keyboard and monitor.
For me personally, I love the keyboard just fine. I’m a very fast typer as it is and it does me just fine.
The moniter does seem slightly dull in daytime, but that’s to be expected.
The speakers did throw me off at first, I’d say they don’t sound as great as my last laptop just because of where these speakers sit but it’s not horrible either. (plus I use earbuds half the time so it wouldn’t bother me in the first place.)

I bought this computer to fit my gaming needs, and since I didn’t have the money for more expenses models, this was the best one I could find for under 500 dollars.

I play World of Warcraft at about medium/some high settings and I range from 30-70 fps just depending on whats going on.
Of course in PVP and raids I’d suggest lowering everything as far as it can go just because those modes are very demanding.

League of Legends is at I believe max settings, except I turned shadows off and sometimes I can get up to 65-70 fps, but it generally stays around the 50-60 area, and sometimes 45 if some crazy stuff is going down.

I tried to push this laptop for some higher up games like Archeage and Warframe, which are a lot more graphically intense.
It runs Warframe on very low but with 50-60 fps, so if you wanted prettier settings and are okay with sacrificing some frames then there’s totally some room for that.
Archeage on the other hand didn’t really work for me.
It did run on low, but in bigger areas there was some pretty hardcore lag especially with heavy player traffic.

But when I bought this laptop I didn’t expect it to play everything so that’s perfectly fine with me.
My biggest wants were to play WoW, LoL, and Warframe at smooth and enjoyable frames which I’d say I accomplished.

If you are looking for an affordable laptop that can game today’s popular games, like League of Legends, then this is totally worth it.
I’m 100% happy with my purchase.

4.0 out of 5 starsNice machine

Reviewed in the United States on January 6, 2016

Style: 1TB HDVerified Purchase

I love the size of this computer. The mouse is very responsive and the added numerical key pad is very nice. It seems to respond fast enough for me. Dump the bloat ware and do any updates.
As far as the feel , fit and finish. The outer plastic cover feels very flimsy and cheap, I can actually push on the edge of the screen an it pops in and out of place. The key board is very well built and comfortable and the screen is large and clear.
The sound although marketed as Dolby is terrible. Quite and the speakers are located under the keyboard so if its on your lap you can’t hear anything. I would recommend this computer for students or for streaming ect. Lots of memory and for the price you get a lot of computer.

2.0 out of 5 starsHorrible mouse pad/keyboard.

Reviewed in the United States on July 26, 2015

Style: 1TB HDVerified Purchase

This was the hardest laptop ever to get up an running.It functioned ok, but I had to change numerous default settings (mouse was entirely too sensitive, didn’t autoload photos from an SD card,etc.)The keyboard is very difficult – the page-up and page-down keys are in inconvenient locations, the function keys don’t default to the F-functions for excel.Obviously, I’m not in love with it, but I decided to keep it now that I have it all set-up, but it took me a few weeks to get it to where I wasn’t frustrated every time I used it.Updated later… still really wouldn’t recommend this, and I have lowered my rating.The mouse pad regularly (at least 1-2 times per use) changes the zoom size of my page on chrome or excel.The mouse often doesn’t follow my finger on the pad well.

5.0 out of 5 starsVery good machine for the price

Reviewed in the United States on January 6, 2015

Style: 1TB HDVerified Purchase

Very good machine for the price. I use it for everything. Its not a gaming laptop, so don’t expect peak performance for this, but it will run all the games I have (WOW, Elder Scrolls Online, Diablo 3) at great speed and with impressive graphics. The storage space is the true gift of this machine. I hoard music, movies, tv shows and a ton of other documents of this thing. I have massive amounts of all kinds of files and Its barely made dent on the harddrive capacity.
Long story short, I love this laptop.

Reviewed in the United States on March 28, 2016

Definitely not worth the money I paid for it. I knew the processor was slow, but this one is ridiculous. I wasn’t expecting the best computer, but this computer is terrible. It has crashed a dozen times, I have randomly lost the driver to connect to the internet. My advice is to invest in a better computer and save yourself the headache.

4.0 out of 5 starsGood budget laptop for gaming

Reviewed in the United States on June 2, 2015

Verified Purchase

After doing hours and hours of research on "budget gaming laptops," I settled on this Lenovo Z50. Keep in mind that not all Z50's are the same. They can have different processors and graphics, etc.
My goal was to be able to play Star Wars: The Old Republic on low settings, as well as just being my everyday computer. I also needed a laptop with a CD drive. This laptop works just fine for these tasks. I am very happy with its performance. It's fast enough to do what I need it to do. It's also solidly built, in my opinion. And it's not ugly. This is my second Lenovo product (I also have a Yoga Tablet) and I haven't had any problems with either one.
HOWEVER,
1. The battery life is kinda sad, which is fine for me since it stays plugged in at home.
2. For some reason, my space bar doesn't always cooperate, which can be frustrating when typing. I have to tap it just a tiny bit harder than the other keys. I'm not in school anymore, so it's not a big concern for me.
3. I've read that some people have problems with the touchpad, but I use a mouse. So again, not a problem for me.

Keep in mind, this isn't a "gaming laptop." It's a decently-powered home laptop that can handle games like SWTOR or WOW. If your computing needs and situation are similar to mine, then I recommend this laptop.

2.0 out of 5 starsI looked around trying to find a good deal on a decent laptop and came across this ...

Reviewed in the United States on August 4, 2015

Verified Purchase

I looked around trying to find a good deal on a decent laptop and came across this Lenovo Z50-75. This computer had good reviews and with a name like Lenovo (by IBM), I figured it would be a good choice.

First off, it has Windows 8 which now I absolutely hate, but that has nothing to do with the laptop itself. When I first got the laptop, I went through the usual steps of registering, updating and get used to it. Then the automatic updates started. The laptop will just reboot withoutnotice for an update that you never see happening and it would take at least 20 minutes to go through the reboot and update changes so you're screwed if you're in the middle of an important business presentation. Then the blue screens started...... apparently the integrated video on this is junk, it would not let me watch any videos without blue screening....I tried everything, updating the drivers, rolling back the drivers, complete operating system re-install.... the works, nothing helped. So, I get up one morning last week, turn on the laptop and get no video.... just a black scree. You can see the camera, cd drive and num lock button boot so the computer was booting up, but no video. A call to Lenovo and they have me sending it back under warranty with me footing the bill for shipping.................. I'm going to sell this thing when I get it back and go back to Toshiba......

2.0 out of 5 starsVery Basic Laptop

Reviewed in the United States on November 14, 2015

Verified Purchase

It's an alright computer if all you want is something to browse the web. Is not powerful at all and fairly slow. Not good for gaming at all. Only very simple games will work on this computer. The track-pad also frequently freezes up and won't move unless you are also clicking and holding down at the same time. It will unfreeze if you sit and tap it for about 10 seconds though. This is a computer that is marketed as an "entertainment laptop," the resolution of the screen is pretty good and ca be viewed at an angle but the speakers are very bad and "tinny." The keyboard feels weak and overall just feels like a cheap computer. I bought onsale for $400 and it's not worth that. It's probably more along the lines of a notebook but just larger.

Works fast. Took like 3 hours to remove all the bloatware, and it's pretty great now. I don't use trackpad because that would be silly on any laptop, but the keyboard is great. Can't stand mechanical keyboards, super loud and obnoxious. This one is low profile and quiet - perfect.

You have to go into BIOS and change to legacy function buttons if you want f1-12 to be primary instead of volumes etc.

This is a great work laptop.

4.0 out of 5 starsGreat value for what it is.

Reviewed in the United States on February 6, 2015

Verified Purchase

I've owned this computer for about 2 months.Thankfully I haven't encountered the worst problems some others have.The keyboard, mousepad, monitor etc all seem to work fine.I actually like that the touchpad has real buttons rather than virtual ones because you don't accidentally click anything...The AMD processor seems to perform just fine for my basic use.I don't see the value in spending $100+ more for an Intel.In the task manager, I disabled just about all of the startup tasks and the startup is very fast and I haven't had any loss of performance from those apps.

Cons
Flimsy monitor, not great quality picture, but good enough for me and has held up so far.

Sharp edge on front where the palms of your hands sit.I've sort of gotten used to it, but its annoying.That said, most all of the Lenovo's I looked at have this design...

Tons of bloatware, including some adware and liabilities that took me a while to figure out how to remove.I did a lot of web searching about the various apps and it helped a lot.In the end, I removed just about all of the installed software except the power manager and dvd burner/player and I haven't missed any of it.I did also have drill in a bit to remove some of the hidden bugs but now that its gone everything works smooth and quick.

Pros
Fast startup
Very quiet
Doesn't get hot
Optical drive
light weight
card reader
8gb ram
low price

I would recommend as long as you aren't hard on a computer and use basic internet, office programs, etc.
