2024 Lenovo Legion Y700 becomes available outside China, but unofficially

The Lenovo Legion Y700 was refreshed recently, and the 2024 model brings a handful of improvements. For example, Lenovo has packed the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 into its new Y700. This is a decent upgrade from the Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 found in the 2023 model, and the flagship SoC on the latest model positions it as a proper competitor to the RedMagic Nova.

Thanks to its large VC cooling setup, Lenovo says that the 2024 Legion Y700 can deliver stable performance during load. The company also says that the 8.8-inch screen of the gaming tablet makes it ideal for both large and small hands.

This screen features a 165 Hz refresh rate and 1600p resolution. It also has support for DC dimming. Other highlights of the new Lenovo Legion Y700 include a 6,550 mAh battery, two USB-C ports, a stereo speaker setup with Dolby Atmos, and 68W fast charging support (Ugreen 100W Nexode X charger curr. $44.98 on Amazon).

While all these specs make the new Legion Y700 stand as a good pick for gamers, the gaming tablet isn't currently officially available outside China. However, if you can't wait for the global launch, you can pre-order it from Giztop. Of course, interested buyers should consider a couple of drawbacks.

One of those drawbacks is the fact that the gaming tablet will ship with Chinese firmware. While you can set the system language to English, it won't offer the same experience as the global variant. The next point of concern is the warranty. Although Giztop appears to have a good policy, you will need to ship the Legion Y700 back to them if anything goes wrong, which can be inconvenient.

As for the price of the 2024 Legion Y700 on Giztop, the base configuration with 12 GB of RAM and 256 GB of storage is $549, while the upper tier option with 16 GB of RAM and 512 GB of storage is $599. If you pre-order the gaming tablet before October 25, you can use the "Y700PRE" coupon to save $50.
