Maximum configuration. With its 17-inch display, Nvidia graphics, and Intel's Core i7 CPU, Lenovo's V17 G2 is well suited for office and multimedia tasks, including simple gaming. Our review shows whether the additional premium for the top equipment is worthwhile for the otherwise affordable laptop.

On the other hand, at 979 Euros (~$1001), this configuration is more suited for those with a medium to high budget. Our test will find out whether the additional premium for the Nvidia GPU and Core i7 is worthwhile or whether the competitors offer better alternatives. The V17 is also available for 699 Euros (~$715) with a Core i5, without Nvidia GPU, and with the same RAM and SSD.
The competitors include the affordable HP 17 with an AMD Ryzen 5 5500U and the Acer Aspire 5 A517 with the same CPU and GPU configuration as our test unit. Considering the price, the office midrange, such as Lenovo's IdeaPad 5 Pro 16 and HPs Envy 17 also come within reach. In addition, we compare it with the predecessor and its smaller AMD based sibling, the Lenovo V15.
