I had it for about a year. It met every need that I had. It runs my HTC Vive pro eye kit flawlessly. Even on the go this thing pumps power and lots of flexibility with storage. My only, amd I do mean only issue with it was the web cam at the bottom bezel of the screen. I absolutely love this work of art.

Worst gaming laptop I?ve ever owned. It has so many issues I don?t know where to start. Will never be purchasing another Lenovo.

This thing is fantastic, fast, keeps up with anything I run. Vibrant screen. Great features with plenty of ports for peripherals. Battery time isn't as long as I'd like but for a laptop this large it"s acceptable.

Not sure what I think so far. Setup is a pain as you are forced to sign in with a microsoft account. I can see some good things and some awful things. The keyboard lighting others have ranted about enough. Perhaps unique to my system, it periodically freezes or the screen blacks out when I am in the middle of an email etc.

Great graphic card and screen. The laptop has an amazing performance in its price. However the battery is the weakest link. That's a laptop you can put on a desk and use to play video games or for graphic design software like adobe.

I am extremely happy with the purchase of this laptop. It is super-fast, and the graphics are beautiful. The only downside is the form-factor. I have not yet found a backpack or satchel big enough to carry it.

Everything about this laptop is awesome, from the 144Hz screen to the super fast GPU. I would recommend this laptop to anyone wanting to play the newest titles.

The Lenovo Legion Y740 has been in front of me for 3 weeks now and all I can say is ?Wow!? I have the 2070 Max Q8 with the 17? 144hz screen and 16gb RAM. The Nvidia Graphics are awesomely awesome too. This machine will not disappoint on Warzone, or Modern Warfare. I hit 120 to 144 max FPS constantly. Great buy for the money!

This laptop is great for video editing and graphic design. Handles the software well. Good battery life. It does have one major problem: the machine will hibernate and not wake up. Keyboard lights come on but the machine stays asleep, not responding to keyboard or mouse until shut down manually and restarted. This happens frequently and is annoying. Otherwise works well.

Excellent gaming laptop. It works better than many of my friends' gaming PCs. I play games like Arma 3, Escape From Tarkov (which is *very* demanding hardware-wise with no troubles. Nothing choppy or skippy, graphics are perfect. I have no regrets for my purchase--all grateful.

Fantastic laptop, hands down. I ?tried? several models from other manufacturers at the same time as my purchase, none held a candle to the thermals here. I really wanted to give the nod to the $400 more expensive box with a 3070, 3200 Ram, a 10750 proc?but it honestly just didn?t compare. Lenovo nails this machine period. I?d take the slightly lesser benchmark stats for the infinitely better screen quality, cool running on games, and overall build quality. Couldn?t be happier after trying many models to finally land on this gaming machine. I?m a Lenovo guy now.

I am overall incredibly impressed with this laptop, the audio took some driver fiddling to get it nice and loud but that was the only small hiccup. Beautiful and sturdy, nice and vivid and more true to color for art than my old laptop.

My new Legion is everything i expected it to be. Graphics are outstanding, speed is amazing and the sound system is great. Their tech help and support is outstanding, too. I can't say enough about Lenovo products.

This laptop is the best thing you can get for it's price range. It beats everything else hardware-wise in its price range, and is definitely a stunner looks-wise as well. Tremendous purchase for anyone.

Keyboard stopped working on about day 3 of having it, spoke to an outsourced tech support who couldn?t help me solve problem. Paid too much for such a product. Returned it.

Even though this computer has a previous gen i7 (9th gen and a rtx 2080 it is a beast and runs anything I've thrown at it. New Cold War? Max settings no problem. Fortnite? Max settings no problem over 120 FPS. Emulation? Can run any game I've thrown at it perfectly fine. It's snappy and loads games very quickly, more quickly than my desktop. Overall highly recommend.

Needed a powerful PC as my workstation. This laptop runs fast. I like its comfortable keyboard and big screen.

For the time I've been using the laptop, everything runs great and is very snappy. Don't have any complaints except the battery life depletes very quickly but it only makes sense due to the hardware and screen size. The laptop makes up for it however, with the 230W charger and it's insane charging speed. Overall very high quality laptop!

Using as a workstation for Revit building information software. It is still new, but feels fast and was very well priced. No problems with set up and I was productive quickly. A bit heavy and external power supply is clunky.

I did a lot of research when I chose this computer. I?m not a gamer but I like powerful fast computers for my work. This massive laptop checks all the boxes. One issue I?m concerned with is that when it goes into sleep mode on its own and I try to wake it up I can hear it running but I have only have is a black screen and it?s really hot. I have to do a power cycle to get it back on at this point. I have been manually putting it to sleep as a habit and I haven?t had the issue but I?m going to keep an eye on it. Would totally recommend otherwise!

Nice machine. Quiet and powerful. Only issue is that the RGB keyboard does this annoying rainbow swirl and there is no way to just set it on one color and leave it.

The size and weight of this computer make it better suited for occasional travel, and I would advise for a lighter option if you're planning to more regularly transfer a PC to and from work/school. I love the Dolby Atmos, graphics, and screen size. My main complaint with this laptop is the loudness of the fan, no matter how much CPU I'm utilizing.

Yes it’s worth the money (but it’s not a laptop)
By Dan w.
The y740 is honestly a great system with more than enough power to game or run 3D applications such as 3d studio max I would also argue it would make a great system for DAW users. I bought this unit for the specific purpose of running 3d applications and so far it handles whatever I throw at it. I bought the 17” version with 2080 max q and it’s more powerful than my home desktop pc [16gigs ram 1080 graphics card] speaking of desktops I think Lenovo should reclassify the y740 as a portable des...

Desktop to laptop convert,
By GldnGreek63
I am truly amazed at what has become state of the art in Gaming Laptops. I have always been a Desktop user due to the raw power necessary for the games I play and the Legion has exceeded every expectation. I had a bad experience with an earlier gaming laptop and I hope this unit proves to be more durable than early models from smaller suppliers.
