A red mesh covers the two stereo speakers (branded JBL), as well as the subwoofer on the bottom. The interior is decorated in the same dark gray to black color, and plastic is not used for the Palm Rest (the area where your hands rest), instead relying on rubber coating that we do not expect to wear out easily, which could subsequently undermine the aesthetics of the design.Īlong with the dark panels, Y50 designers have integrated a few red accents – a classic color, reminding us that we should expect high performance and pleasant gaming moments. However, is this GPU and its 4GB GDDR5 memory going to be enough to witness the first notebook with which we can play games (even if not the most demanding) with a 4K resolution, at least on medium settings?īefore we answer this hard question, first we will focus on the device’s shell, the quality of the screen itself, battery life and, of course – the temperature of the shell after continuous high load. To make graphics tasks work, Y50 is armed with the powerful GeForce GTX 860M. This is exactly what Lenovo did with their last Y50 – we’ve already tested that series, but not in the configuration that we are going to do today, namely with a 4k display set to 3840 x 2160 pixels. While the Japanese never promoted Satellite P50 as a notebook for games, but rather as one for watching movies (another matter entirely is how to find movies in 4K), it requires a lot of courage to release a gaming line with such a screen. The machine was made for multimedia tasks and even if gamers expected it with eagerness, the disappointment came with the official announcement, which made clear that it is equipped with AMD Radeon R9 M265X (2GB GDDR5) –not an entirely bad GPU, but sadly in the middle range class, extremely insufficient for gaming in the aforementioned resolution, which has over 8 million pixels, and something a lot more powerful in terms of performance is needed for their rendering – even at 768p and maximum settings, P50 and M265X reached only 13 frames per second average on Metro: Last Light, and in 4K – the result was 11 FPS at minimum settings. Some time ago we tested the Toshiba Satellite P50 (P-108), which become famous for the fact that it is the first notebook with a 4k screen in the world.
