Lenovo IdeaPad Y500 laptop i7-3630QM 16GB 2TB 15.6 1080 Win 10 Pro

Gaming laptop for multimedia and creative work

The Lenovo IdeaPad Y500 is a 15.6-inch laptop built for high-performance multimedia, gaming and processor-intensive creative applications. It ships new with Windows 10 Pro 64-bit, an Intel Core i7-3630QM processor reaching 3.4 GHz, 16 GB of DDR3 memory and a 2 TB solid-state drive. A discrete NVIDIA GeForce GT650M graphics card drives the 1920x1080 non-touch display.

USB 3.0 and Bluetooth 4 connectivity limits

Data transfer and peripheral support rely on USB 3.0 ports and Bluetooth 4 wireless. The interface caps external storage speed at the 3.0 standard, while Bluetooth 4 handles compatible input devices and audio gear. No newer USB or Bluetooth revisions are present, so the fastest external drives and lowest-latency wireless accessories cannot operate at their rated potential.

2 TB SSD capacity with 16 GB memory headroom

The 2 TB solid-state drive holds large media libraries, project files and game installs without requiring external storage for most users. Sixteen gigabytes of DDR3 memory keeps creative suites and modern titles running smoothly, though the GT650M graphics card will reach its performance ceiling in the latest AAA games at 1080p. The fixed 16 GB RAM cannot be expanded beyond the factory configuration.
