Hello everyone,
Y540 user here. I did my purchase from SG lenovo website and received the laptop a week ago.

Laptop configuration:

Intel® Core™ i5-9300H
GTX1660Ti 6GB GDDR6 192bits with Samsung VRAM
Full HD IPS 144 Hz 300 nits (BOE NV156FHM-N4G)
8GB DDR4 2666MHz SODIMM  (Micron 8ATF1G64HZ-2G6E1 running at 19-19-19-43-2 (tCAS-tRC-tRP-tRAS-tCR))
Audio Realtek ALC257
Intel  256GB Solid State Drive, M.2 2280, PCIe-NVMe (Intel 760P SSDPEKKW256G8L)
Intel® Wireless-AC 9560
3 Cell Li-Polymer Internal Battery, 57Wh (SMP L17M3PG2)
I would say the laptop is a well thought out design, a carefully engineered product comes with sturdy build. I like the idea of major ports/ connectors placement at the rear. Definitely love the clean and professional look.

Haven't really got the time to game on it. Only did some tests and system stability check mainly with throttle stop and prime 95. Starting with -125mV for both the core and cache. Average 4.0G 4 cores up to 85°C.

Pros:

Good quality and build. Thin bezel and premium look.
Good overall performance and value for money.

Cons:

Horrible touch pad button clicking sound. Inherited from last generation i supposed :/
power brick literally look and weight like a clay brick but it serve the job well.
Only 1 NVMe slot available.

Nice man but was interested with the 9750H CPU because I oftenly use video editing. But 9300H also ok because right now I use Y720 with quad core 7700HQ which is still enough for me.

I loved the design for Y540/Y740. Wish I got these models instead of the bulkier Y720. Everywhere I go people noticed it "walaweh gaming laptop mehhh" and I hated that sweat.gif sweat.gif sweat.gif

Anyone here using the beastly Y740? Still thinking if I should get this... Currently using Y400, a lot of issues are showing up lol

In comparison with Y540, I do think Y540 is the best for the buck + the design is cleaner and the keyboard is waaaaaaaaaaaaaay more make sense. You'll lose Thunderbolt 3 btw but I do think it's worth it.

Y740 starts around RM 7400 for the 8750h and 2060 while Y540 at RM 5,500 for 9750h and 2060, that's RM 2400 cheaper!

Just Received my Y540. Still haven't power up it yet but the power brick is really ridiculous BIG!!! Gonna look for smaller power charger, is inconvenient to bring this out.

Any recommended seller or compatible Lenovo charger?
