Back in the day, having a laptop that sports the ability to game usually meant that you’d have to sacrifice mobility for something large and clunky. Fast forward to today, that might still hold true for higher-end gaming laptops, but laptops that can do decent amounts of gaming have slimmed down considerably.
Lenovo’s recently announced Yoga 510 is a good example of that. The company has recently announced the laptop which comes in 14 and 15-inch models. Apart from the difference in screen size, they remain identical in specs and configurable options, so the real question here is which size screen do you prefer, and if you don’t mind paying a bit more for that.
Both models will feature Full HD touchscreen displays, and can be configured to be powered by Intel’s 6th gen Core i7 CPU, or a Pentium processor. It will also support up to 3GB of RAM, 1TB in HDD storage, of a 256GB SSD. Gamers can also choose an AMD Radeon R5 M430 GPU for the 14-inch model, or an R7 M460 for the 15-inch model, with 2GB of VRAM.
Don’t expect to run modern games at Ultra settings, but it should be good enough to deliver a satisfactory gaming experience. They will also feature a pair of stereo speakers with audio technology from Harmon Kardon, and users can also opt to have a backlit keyboard. The Lenovo Yoga 510 14-inch is priced starting $599, while the 15-inch is priced starting at $699, with both models available in July 2016.
