Chassis, Connectivity, Display Lenovo Legion Y740-15IRHg-932 (81UH005XFR)
It sports a decidedly gamer design and yet rather elegant and discreet with its black aluminum frame with angular lines. Below, one can easily access the RAM, hard disk and SSD slots.
This PC is cooled by 2 fans and heat pipes to evacuate the heat from the back, the sides as well as the bottom, via an elevation of the back.
This computer gamer benefits from good connectivity positioned mostly in the back. It consists of 1 USB 3.1 Type-C with Thunderbolt 3, wireless Bluetooth 5.0 modules and Wi-Fi ac to communicate and connect remotely, HDMI video outputs and mini-DisplayPort convenient to easily connect this PC to a TV or monitor for example, Ethernet and audio ports as well as 3 USB 3.0 (USB 2.0 compatible) ensuring transfers made up to 10 times faster than USB 2.0 if USB 3.0 devices are connected to it.
The chiclet keyboard can obviously be backlit which is convenient to discern its keys in the dim light.
Particularity of this laptop, its webcam is located not above the screen but below, which may be confusing.
The screen clearly targets the players and may also interest the creative. With its frequency of 144Hz higher than the standard 60Hz, it enhances fluidity in games. In addition, it has G-Sync technology (incompatible with Optimus) that improves the rendering in games by sync with the most just with the graphics card.
The screen also displays a brightness above average (500cd / m² against 200/300 cd / m² usually) and features suitable for high definition content such as videos with its full HD definition and its 16 / 9th format . As it is anti-reflective coating, the screen also provides better visibility in bright environment (eg outside) a glossy slab.

With its 512 GB, the SSD is destined to house the system as well as the main games / applications, the rest finding place on the hard disk with a comfortable capacity of 1000 GB fast with its speed of 7200 rpm against 5400 rev / usually.
The heart of this computer gamer is up to support the RTX 2080 in games. It delivers overall power to satisfy demanding users as it is architected around an Intel HM370 chipset, 16GB of RAM and a Hexa Core i7-9750H Coffee Lake Refresh processor.
For example, creatives will be interested in the benefits of this PC providing much faster processing than if we were dealing with 8 GB DDR4 and a quad core processor, especially under the work intensive RAM and CPU resources taking advantage of multicore ( eg photo editing, video editing, 3D rendering).
The contribution of the Hexa Core in games is however variable compared to a Quad Core.
