85% Lenovo Legion Y740 review (Y740-15ICH model – i7, RTX 2070 Max-Q)

The Legion Y740 checks a lot of the right boxes, but at the same time, it misses on two of the important ones by quite a margin: the battery life and the typing experience. If you can live with those, you'll hardly get better value for your money in another performance laptop, as this scores excellent marks in the build, display, IO, performance and thermals departments, and is more affordable than most other similar devices on the market.

The Lenovo Legion Y740 is a strong contender among gaming laptops. It offers blazing fast performance, even with graphics hungry games, and couples it with a beautiful and bright 1080p display. And, it does all this in an elegant, if a little bulky, chassis.

Source: PC World Archive.org version
The Lenovo Y740 is an inoffensive laptop, but underwhelming performance from its expensive RTX 2070 Max-Q combined with abysmal battery life make it hard to recommend over comparable GTX 1070 options.

With short battery life as the only real shortcoming, the 15-inch Lenovo Legion Y740 is a potent gaming laptop that, while not inexpensive, matches the performance and features of pricier machines.
