visit dbrand.com Linus CES so we're here in the entire
0:13
restaurant that Lenovo has rented out checking out their new brand now this
0:20
here the Lenovo Legion y720 is hardly
0:24
the first gaming notebook we've ever seen from Lenovo they've had ones in the
0:27
past they were usually whyde something and someone internally must have gone
0:32
why don't we have a gaming specific brand and they created one so it's going
0:37
to be Legion and this is one of the first products that will bear the legion
0:42
badge and the Legion logo it's got a brushed aluminum backing that looks kind
0:47
of like a woven basket carbon fiber with their Legion logo that I personally
0:51
think looks pretty Sleek it's got an RGB
0:55
backlit keyboard that's got four different zones but given the price
0:59
point which we'll get to later that kind of makes sense that they don't have the
1:02
individually backlit keys because it does have some other very interesting
1:06
features as well this is the first laptop that I'm aware of with Dolby
1:10
Atmos support which is pretty freaking cool and it's also one of the first
1:15
pre-built systems that I've seen that has integrated support for a Microsoft
1:20
Xbox One wireless controller up to four players without needing a dongle iio is
1:26
a pretty solid mix HDMI 2.0 couple USB
1:29
3's mini DisplayPort Thunderbolt 3
1:33
thumbs up for that and over here on the other side we've got their proprietary
1:37
power gigabit Ethernet USB 3 and a combo
1:41
headphone microphone Jack now whoop I
1:44
almost dropped it but that's okay and let's open her up and have a look at
1:48
what they've done to the inside of this bad boy come on
1:53
baby now to be clear this is a pre-release
1:58
model ah so I don't want you guys
2:01
judging it too closely but there are a
2:05
few things that stood out to me in here already so 15.6 in chassis how did they
2:10
squeeze everything in here number one is they've got the batteries actually
2:15
broken up into two separate modules here
2:18
something that I actually have only rarely encountered before CPU and GPU
2:24
are taken care of by for the CPU just
2:28
the left hand side if you were actually using it fan and relatively thick heat
2:34
sink fin array here and the GPU has a
2:37
dedicated one over on the right and thanks to this long heat pipe that goes
2:41
between the whole thing is going to get some help from the left as well so
2:45
that's a 1060 with 6 gigs of RAM as far
2:49
as I know the hard drive has got its own little spot over here there's m.2
2:53
storage and this is cool under the m.2 that's where the Microsoft wireless
2:57
module is right there the last thing that was kind of an interesting one to
3:01
me is the fact that the memory so we've got two swappable sodm slots ddr4 dual
3:07
Channel memory is covered by a little um
3:10
shielding cover which I am not 100% sure
3:13
why that's there but I'm sure someone smarter than me will let me know in the
3:17
comments below so the price they're targeting for this thing is starting at
3:21
around $1,200 with the core i7 processor it's a
3:25
7700 HQ GTX 1060 and then your storage
3:29
in RAM may vary so let us know what you think down below and uh thank you for
