Reviews for the Lenovo Legion Y730-17ICH, i7-8750H
Lenovo wants to reshape its Legion series to appeal to a broader audience outside of just hardcore gamers. The Legion Y730 represents the first step in this new direction and it is subsequently the most balanced laptop in the family to date.

Overall, the Lenovo Legion Y730 is a really good PC. I really love the new design; putting the ports in the back is great. You don't have to worry about cables getting in the way of your mouse. I also want to give Lenovo a shoutout for using USB 3.1 Gen 2 Type-A ports, because that's actually pretty rare.

This brand new version of the Legion laptop brings it into a whole new light, one that we appreciate here much more than the extreme gamer aesthetic of old. Throw in some serious innards and a decent price, and color us psyched for a full review.

In return, you enjoy the advantages of high resolutions (more details, better legibility).» To find out how fine a display is, see our DPI List.
