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.

Intel Core i7: The Intel Core i7 for laptops is based on the LG1156 Core i5/i7 CPU for desktops. The base clock speed of the CPUs is relatively low, but because of a huge Turbo mode, the cores can dynamically overclock to up to 3.2 GHz (920XM). Therefore, the CPU can be as fast as high clocked dual-core CPUs (using single threaded applications) but still offer the advantage of 4 cores. Because of the large TDP of 45 W / 55 W, the CPU is only intended for large laptops.  

i7-8750H: On Coffee Lake architecture based processor for big and heavy laptops. Integrates six processor cores clocked at 2.2 - 4.1 GHz (4 GHz with 4 cores, 3.9 GHz with 6 cores) that support HyperThreading. Manufactured in an improved 14nm process (14nm++). » Further information can be found in our Comparison of Mobile Processsors.

Lenovo: Lenovo ( "Le" as in the English word legend and "novo" (Latin) for new) was founded in 1984 as a Chinese computer trading company.

In addition to desktops and notebooks, the company also produces monitors, projectors, servers, etc.

In 2011, Lenovo acquired the majority of Medion AG, a European computer hardware manufacturer. In 2014, Lenovo took over Motorola Mobility, which gave them a boost in the smartphone market.

From 2014 to 2016 Lenovo's market share in the global notebook market was 20-21%, ranking second behind HP. However, the distance decreased gradually. In the smartphone market, Lenovo did not belong to the Top 5 global manufacturers in 2016.

83.05%: This rating should be considered to be average. This is because the proportion of notebooks which have a higher rating is approximately equal to the proportion which have a lower rating.
