Lenovo's new Legion Y740S redefines gaming laptops

This slim 15-inch only becomes a gaming machine when you add the eGPU Boost Station.

this is perfect for music Producers, it has a i9 8 core 16 thread cpu, 32gb ram, pcie ssd, and 2 TB3 ports, that is all we need for music production, so sorry if this laptop is literally the perfect DAW laptop, as music producers, we have no need for a graphics card adding extra heat and noise to our laptop when we are just using the CPU, thats all we use, we are happy with just intel integrated graphics.

Isn't this literally an ultrabook that looks worse than the Dell XPS 13, Lenovo's own X1 series, and others? You can literally plug in an eGPU into those as well and game on those...

Beautiful laptop and i love how slim laptops will use now and external gpu. U can take your laptop with you but keep your desktop gpu at home

[mustafahasn]

Isnt the point of having a gaming laptop that you game anywhere?

[Abanamat]

Wasn't the BoostStation due to be released in May? How come there are no recent news about this item anywhere?

[TechWithSean]

Could be cool, or could wreck their brand image.
“Oh Legions? Those are the ones with no graphics card, don’t get those”

I like this idea.if it takes off it will be more available by all manufacturers

[PortfolioPL]

These are available from other manufacturers for years now... Heck even for Macs.

Many of the eGPU enthusiasts look for a good processor like the one in this laptop, I would love a Low end discrete graphic better than the integrated just for low to medium on the go gaming

[Top_Dawg]

Cool but how is this different from any other laptop with a TB3 paired with a Razer Core X?

[MrMathsimon]

I like the boost station. Planning to get a carbon nano

[Mahdismwhidke]

How is that new? We've had this for years. External GPU's for notebooks connected via thunderbolt

[marianpelmus]

can't wait for this product, i just hope it wont be stupid expensive

[iReima]

So you need to tote around both items if you want to game on the go?

[yubinator]

oof they are like internet explorer
they haven’t heard about razer blade stealth

[ToniSkit]

I can do this with my hp specter from 2017 ....

[BigBoss]

As if all this anything new, it's been around for 3 years now from other brands

[johnafish]

I had something similar with an Alienware laptop + external GPU years ago. This is hardly 'redefining the gaming laptop'.

How’s the cooling on the gpu?

Lordy, they’re still putting the camera on the bottom, 🤦‍♂️

Loved Legion series for mid price range, professional look, good performance while still being able to take it to meetings and have it for my personal use without lugging around another box for mandatory external graphic card. Sure make this an option, but don't pull out the decent GPU that was built in - which is the whole idea of a portable workstation laptop that I can actually take on a plane.

I'll hope for better things in 2021 since this is quite disappointing. Thanks for the video CNet!
