Heat from gaming is no longer a concern thanks to Legion Coldfront. Coldfront brings the latest features that a dual-channel thermal system can provide, including individual CPU and GPU cooling for cooler system temperatures, four thermal vents for improved airflow, dedicated heat syncs for cooler keyboard temperatures, and 70 individual fan blades per channel to reduce system noise. Its 15.6-inch display provides a near-edgeless visual experience, all thanks to bezels that are now slimmer than previous generations'. Users can keep their eyes where the action is – the FHD graphics rendering in more than 2 million pixels at refresh rates up to 144 Hz, with brightness levels up to 500 nits. And they’ll get an amazingly immersive experience from the tear-free video of the optional Nvidia G-SYNC technology and Dolby Vision High Dynamic Range (HDR). The Legion Triple Display Support System utilizes the HDMI 2.0, MiniDisplay, and Type-C ports, allowing the Y740 to connect up to three displays simultaneously for maximum immersion and control. Furthermore, the rear I/O dashboard helps with cable management, keeping the battle station clean and organized for maximum focus on the game. As a conclusion, the Lenovo Legion Y740-15ICHg delivers strong performance catered to gamers on the go. It is also reasonably priced for its features. Thus, it is suitable for users who need a gaming laptop without breaking the bank.
