Computer manufacturer Lenovo is adding four gaming devices to its lineup with the ideapad Y900, ideacentre Y900 RE, and two curved gaming monitors.
Though the Consumer Electronics Show doesn't kick off until January 6, Lenovo got off to an early start by unveiling its quartet of new Y-series options at the start of the week.
The flagship device was dubbed the World's Thinnest Convertible Laptop, the Yoga 900S being its 999g sliver of shiny high tech wonder.
But intent on enjoying a slice of 2018's $35 billion PC gaming pie, Lenovo's pair of laptops and monitors are also looking for a bit of CES action.
The 17-inch ideapad Y900 boasts a quad core Intel Core i7 K-series processor, NVIDIA GTX G80M graphics, a mechanical, backlit, and a multi-color keyboard.
There's also a turbo button that increases performance.
At the same time, Lenovo is turning to accessories manufacturer for a co-branded, ultra-premium ideacentre Y900 Razer Edition desktop.
As opposed to a laptop, the desktop form factor offers the advantage of easily upgradable innards; not that its components are muted in comparison to the ideapad.
A quad core Intel Core i7 K-series has not one but two NVIDIA GTX 970 graphics cards to work with, while Razer provides a Razer Chroma keyboard and mouse as well as multi-color lighting effects.
A lever installed on the case opens a semi-transparent side panel for the convenience (or novelty) of close-up inspection on demand.
Accompanying the pair are two versions of the Y29g Curved Gaming Monitor, one with Razer Edition branding and the other without.
The 27-inch displays are powered by curved FHD VA panels, boasting a refresh rate of 144Hz and an 8ms response time.
