    Why not do a "Laptops for Students" episode again this summer? And have a category for best Performance/Battery Life for the cost. Aka, what can people like me take for Game Design courses and other classes without requiring a 10000w AC adapter and being bound to a wall.

    Just bought this laptop and i can say this laptop runs pretty good. Talking about the thermal, played Apex Legends for one hour and here what i got: GPU Temp: around 70c CPU Temp: 88-95c (played in non AC room) While if i disable turbo boost with throttle stop, i got CPU Temp: 66-74c So i would suggest to turn off turbo boost to have better thermal by sacrificing a bit of FPS. I hope my comment will help you especially wondering about the thermal for this beast laptop 🔥🔥 (sorry for my english anyway)

    Just Ian I have the i7 gen cpu with a a 1050 Ti graphics card, I haven't had any thermal issues, whenever I feel a little bit of heat during gaming or rendering I just turn on the fans on max mode and a few minutes later it's cool again, I haven't put it into heavy gaming usage since I'm not that much of a gamer but I do use it a lot for rendering and video exporting and it had been pretty amazing, never had any issues! The screen looks good, most reviews said that it doesn't have a great screen but that's just bs, the screen may not have a high Color accuracy rating but it looks really good. however it is a little bit dim in outside usage so keep that in mind. The only thing I could complain about this laptop is the battery, it only lasts for like an hour or two on gaming, and 3 to 4 hours on normal usage. but that's a known issue for all gaming laptops in this segment of the market.

    hood hussler The performance of max q RTX laptops in general are disappointing so don’t blame Lenovo. The max q 2080 in general isn’t much stronger than the 2070, hence why 2060 is the sweet spot.The only thing I can agree with is battery life. It’s not that heavy at all. Relatively light. The cooling is still better than a Razer.

    I just ordered one today with the 2070 Max-Q, with 3 year warranty including accidental coverage. I bought it to "replace" my Alienware 13 R3 that's died twice now and I figured out the issue was cheap, non-USB spec USB cables I used to hook up a controller. They build up a static charge, then dischanged through the USB port frying the internals. Assuming it gets fixed I'll just be selling it to offset the cost of the Lenovo. It's not really the Alienware's fault hardware wise, but after dealing with the customer support/service, I'm done with it and never getting a Dell/Alienware product again. Their customer service leaves A LOT to be desired and their warranty prices are horrible. The best they could quote me was $180 for a year just for parts/labor. With the Lenovo, I got 3 years warranty for parts/labor (including shipping), AND accidental(also 3 years) coverage for $135 total.

    UPDATE: I play casually so space is pretty decent. Currently i downloaded Genshin Impact and it took about 7GB/16GB of RAM. So, it’s not too bad! If you download a lot of games I would probably just buy a PC gaming tower Appearance: it’s so clean and sleek. i love how minimal it is. the rbg lighting is just perfect, not too “loud” or stands out too much Specs: i’m not a pro at this, but i’ve been watching a bunch of videos and asking people who are more well versed with this stuff (computer science majors, pc gamers, engineering majors) and all of them say that the specs are not bad for the price i bought it at ($1200~) especially since it was on sale. The graphics are AMAZING btw. I’m a person who really values graphics because when playing games or watching movies, i really like to get lost in it. This Lenovo Y740 makes me forget worrying about bad quality when i game or watch movies :)) the sound quality is also top notch. Of course it’s because of the Bose speakers haha Cons: so far, it’s really just the battery haha i can only be unplugged for 3 hours tops if i’m not gaming and just browsing through websites. Overall rating: 9.5/10 although battery is a little small, i don’t really mind it since the places i go have outlets anyways. I think this laptop is ideal for people who want to casually game and do school work :)) and if they don’t mind bringing the charger along with them when going out haha

    I was super excited about buying this laptop. I got the one with RTX 2060. I do a fair bit of 3d modelling, Adobe, Cad etc. After a week, my avg battery on non gaming work was less than 2 hrs. The gaming itself, F1 2018 was playing at 60fps high, while my desktop with gtx 980 was playing at 114 fps, so not great. Lastly one of the key, from the delicate keyboard came off, inspite of me not even being a gamer, the keyboard in general is very poor.End of 10th day, I returned the laptop, even though I had high hopes for it. In my opinion MSI makes better gaming laptops, where Lenovo makes good thinkpads, this adventure from Lenovo needs more work.

    You are absolutely correct about it lad. I've had the y720 but it got stolen March last year. Now i got an Asus Strix, same specs as you but with 120Hz screen and better colour accuracy but BOI the thermals are shit. CPU 90+ Celsius while heavy gaming. On Legion they were upped a little from 80. Enjoy the Y720 while it last man. Cheers.

    @@Alex_Gabriel thanks man. sorry for your loss. thermals are everything for me because im student who lives in dormitory and im using the laptop like a desktop computer case. I bought 2TB FireCuda SSHD and 2x8 2400mHz CL14 HyperX memory. I will buy 240HZ BenQ monitor and do liquid metal for CPU and GPU. Then this thing will fly to the moon. :D and gonna buy the next gen of NVIDIA card for using externally.

    This device seems to have similar design to the Dell G7. I would like to see a new Dell G7 review. I prefer connections on the back of system instead of everything coming off the sides. Oddly enough they only ship with on memory module which reduces its performance in certain areas considerably. Thanks.

    Dude the ports on the back is a big plus. I know it’s not specs but I feel like the design would make the experience that much better.

    Lenovo is a little talked about and reviewed company but they are great and priced reasonably. I switched from a MacBook Pro to a Lenovo and I'm happy other than Windows.
