[–] Balldowern@lemmy.zip 10 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (2 children) OMG, Y500 ? Mine is still running after 13 years! Lenovo made some kickass computers back then. permalink fedilink source hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] Symphonic@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago I instantly recognized it too! Mine got stolen. I loved mine. permalink fedilink source parent [–] ggtdbz@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 1 year ago I think that’s a Y510p. This was the machine that made me think Lenovo knew what they were doing and were the true successors to IBM, for laptops at least. This machine was released right before the gaming laptop age really kicked off, so its paltry GT750(M! Sometimes two of them) was about as good as it got outside of a sketchy DTR from a company you’ve never heard of. Only a few years later did the standard go way up for gaming laptop performance, with everyone and their dog getting an Nvidia 1050/1060/1070 machine. But I really liked the Y500/Y510. Serious design that made it look like a thick business laptop with polished black surfaces and cool red key edges vs gaudy RGB sludge with LOOK AT ME I AM EPICLY GAMERING all over it. I kind of wish they kept this design style. Oh well. Tongfang has my back now. permalink fedilink source parent
