Lenovo Legion Y720 in-depth review
Lenovo did a really smart move to release two different versions of their new Legion gaming laptops - one for entry-level gaming and the other one with more powerful and premium approach. Similarly to Acer's strategy with the low-end Aspire VX 15 and the higher-end Aspire V 15 Nitro Black Edition. But what Lenovo did was to take things a bit further, feature-wise that is.For the extra few hundred bucks, the Legion Y720 offers a lot of improvements and features to the table.

Pros
- All-aluminum, thin and robust chassis
- Good gaming-centric keyboard and nice touchpad
- A broad range of connectivity options including USB-C with Thunderbolt 3 support
- Good cooling system
- Support for Wireless Xbox controller
- Excellent sound quality featuring Dolby Atmos certification and a subwoofer
Cons
- Subpar display quality with low contrast, narrow sRGB coverage and not enough maximum brightness
- The panel uses PWM from 0 to 99% brightness (our Health-Guard profile eliminates this issue)
- A bit heavy for a 15-incher
- No G-Sync support on the built-in display
