Questions about the Dell Hype after CES

So I am just curious  about this: 

Why does everybody  talk about  the new Dell Inspiron 15 7567 and maybe a bit about the Acer VX 15?

I know that Acer often has problems with  cooling on their laptops. I understand why nobody talks about the Acer VX 15.

But it seems like everybody is completely ignoring the Lenovo Legion Y520. 

It was shown on CES 2017 too but every single Youtube channel / tech website seem to only care about the new Dell Inspiron.

I think the Legion Y520 got  same specs as the Dell but better Ports ( the additional USB C port) .

Is there any major downside  with the Lenovo laptop? Or  what's the reason nobody talks about it?

You can barely find anything about the y520 online but every single tech youtuber made a video about the inspiron 15.

If at all they say something about the Legion Lineup they always only talk about the Y720.

I think they're all getting pretty much the same coverage. Lenovo's stuff isn't necessarily new, whereas Dell's seems to be a return to gaming form before they had Alienware. Not sure about Acer - they will always be the retarded cousin in the family that I don't take seriously.

Well I would not look at the VX15, because Acer never seems to be able to cool anything.

The Lenovo might be because a lot of big/big'ish "tech" youtubers don't really care much about any Lenovo product.

The Dell is understandable, since it is a return of the "budget king".

Because it's able to hit the $800 dollar price point. People talk about the Dell even in the last generation when the Y700 was superior to the 7559 and people still recommended it over the Y700. I've always recommended the Y520 since it came out and for it to be officially released as I expect it'll be better than the Dell 7556. But also it'll be at a higher price point. Acer is shit, so no need to mention them. Unless the VX15 blows us away, there's no reason to change any opinion on Acer.
