Lenovo Unveils New Laptop, Monitors and Peripherals
Lenovo has created battle-ready Windows 10 PCs, gaming monitors and accessories that balance the edge of work and play with new PC, monitors and accessories announced at CES.
Lenovo Legion Y740S
With the extra security of a fingerprint reader built into the power button, gamers are just a tap away from filling their 15.6-inch 4K IPS screen with the heroes and villains of all time with 100 percent sRGB color gamut. With a display up to 600 nits bright, VESA certified, and Dolby Vision, which enhances your viewing experience through brightness, color, contrast and detail, the Lenovo Legion Y740S has a 60 Hz refresh rate so players can kiss washed out images goodbye.
The picture quality is matched with next generation specs including up to 32GB DDR4 of memory, 1TB PCIe SSD2 storage capacity, and an exclusive thermals design with five-point sensor array and quad fan for four times the cooling when playing graphically intensive titles.
Available in Iron Grey with metal finish and illuminated Lenovo Legion Y logo on its cover, the Lenovo Legion Y740S laptop weighs 4.18lbs (1.9kg) and offers rear and side ports including Thunderbolt 3 to allow for easier coupling with Lenovo’s first-ever external eGPU companion accessory: the Lenovo Legion BoostStation.
Turn any space into a battle station with backlit keyboard, narrow bezels, and audio with Dolby Atmos Speaker System.
The Lenovo Legion Y740S stays sleek on the outside while supporting savage gameplay when joined with the Lenovo Legion BoostStation. While on-the-go users get the advantages of a slim and light Windows 10 laptop, your performance station remains at the gamer’s home ready for the action to begin.
Supporting the gameplay enabled by NVIDIA GeForce or AMD Radeon graphics, the Lenovo Legion BoostStation with aluminum build and cool transparent side panel is compact and fits on virtually any playing surface at just under 20lbs (9.07kg); it’s also 100 percent tool-free and allows for super-fast charging. Mixed-reality features (augmented or virtual reality) are supported with applicable specifications via the eGPU.
In addition to the new Lenovo Legion Y740S with its BoostStation, the Lenovo Legion Y740 Laptop Studio Edition powered by NVIDIA RTX GPUs and Studio Drivers, offers another option for enthusiast gamers who are also creators.
Users are invited to manage the basic effects and advanced settings of their Legion Y-series gaming monitors with the upgraded 2.0 version of Lenovo Artery software. With Lenovo Artery, users can also customize brightness, contrast, and the scenario mode on their multi-screen displays and audio devices, as well as control the color settings and low blue light function for each game.
Stay focused on the game with the new Lenovo Legion Y25-25 Gaming Monitor with a 24.5-inch, Full HD IPS panel display built into the near-edgeless chassis. Crank up refresh rates all the way to 240Hz—more FPS means that more data flows between the GPU and monitor, helping to eliminate tearing in most multiplayer games boosted with AMD Radeon FreeSync technology.
The Lenovo Legion Y25-25 Gaming Monitor comes with anti-glare panel and up to 400 nits of brightness and is TÜV Rheinland Eye Comfort Certified to reduce eye strain; its ergonomic stand enables a myriad of comfortable playing angles including, tilt, lift, pivot, and swivel, and VESA mount allows for on-wall display.

Engineered to deliver virtually tear-free and stutter-free gameplay with AMD Radeon FreeSync technology, the Lenovo G27c is capable of a high refresh rate of up to 165Hz. While the Lenovo G32qc Gaming Monitor offers a speedy 144Hz refresh rate—both monitors give users a high-speed 4ms response time.
Offered in Raven Black hue, both curved gaming monitors are TÜV Rheinland Low Blue Light and Flicker Free Certified. They’re available with adjustable stands for ergonomic positioning, as well as a VESA mount if users prefer to affix their displays to the wall.
