Notably, the company was one of the first consumer-centric PC brand that launched gaming notebooks a few years back with under the Y-series. “One of the reasons for us (Lenovo) to be late in the game is because of the various segments that are already established including the Yoga, Thinkpad and Ideapad range,” said Shailendra Katyal, Executive Director, Consumer PCSD, Lenovo India.

Pricing for these products are already up on the Lenovo India website.

The Lenovo Legion Y740 comes in an Iron Gray color scheme with narrow borders around the display. It includes customizable RGB lighting on the keyboard and inside the thermal vents. The keyboard is said to be made by Corsair. The notebook can be configured with an Nvidia GeForce RTX 2070 Max-Q GPU along with the Intel 9th Gen Core i7 processor. You can opt for a 144Hz Full HD (1920 x 1080) display along with Nvidia G-SYNC. The notebook also comes with support for Dolby Vision and a brighter screen at up to 500 nits.
