Review of the Lenovo Legion Y740-17IRHg: Gaming bolide gets high marks for its great power delivery and low heat development
Lenovo's gaming notebook displays all current games smoothly on its matte 17.3-inch screen (144 Hz, G-Sync, FHD, IPS) and also offers great connectivity: a combination of SSD + HDD, 16 GB of RAM (Dual-Channel mode) & a Thunderbolt 3 port.

The exteriors of the 17.3-inch gaming notebook Lenovo Legion Y740-17IRHg, which we tested recently, are the same as on its sibling model Legion Y740-17ICH. Not much has been changed on the inside, either. Again, Lenovo has chosen a Turing GPU from Nvidia for its new model. The only difference is the Coffee Lake processor, which has been replaced by a Coffee Lake Refresh chip. Our test unit was equipped with a  Core i7-9750H and a GeForce RTX 2060. 

The device does what it is made to do: It displays all games in our database smoothly at Full-HD resolution and high to maximum settings. The device's panel supports Nvidia's G-Sync technology. We are pleased to say that the notebook does not heat up particularly even under maximum load.
