Lenovo has unveiled tons of Legion kit over at CES, including a monster monitor and a host of gaming accessories.
Lenovo has got plenty to show off at CES, with the manufacturer unleashing a pile of Legion-branded hardware including new Legion laptops alongside monitors and various gaming accessories.
The gaming notebooks are the hottest properties here, with Lenovo introducing new Legion Y740 and Y540 models (which are a step on from the Y730 and Y530 machines we saw last year).
The Y740 comes in 17-inch and 15-inch flavors and runs with 8th-gen Intel processors – either the Core i5-8300H or Core i7-8750H – just the same as the outgoing models.
However, Lenovo is promising ‘cutting-edge’ GeForce GPUs on both sizes of the Y740, although the firm hasn’t qualified exactly which graphics solutions will be used. Presumably they will be Turing, of course, given that those are the latest GPUs in Nvidia’s range (the Y730 went with an Nvidia GTX 1050 Ti for the base 15-inch model).
These refreshed machines will be equipped with a minimum of 8GB system RAM (2666MHz), allowing for specifying up to 32GB, with storage being delivered in the form of (up to) a 512GB PCIe SSD, along with (up to) a 512GB SATA solid-state drive, and a 2TB hard disk. Note that the 17-inch model is Optane -ready.
You can go with the same Full HD display with a 144Hz refresh rate and Nvidia’s G-Sync, again as seen on the predecessor notebooks, but there’s also an optional Dolby Vision HDR 400 screen with a much improved brightness of 500 nits (as opposed to 300 nits) which is obviously beneficial when displaying HDR content.
