Lenovo Legion Y740S, Legion BoostStation now official

At CES 2020, Lenovo has officially announced its thinnest gaming laptop yet; the Legion Y740S paired with their eGPU solution, the Legion BoostStation.

Powering the Legion Y740S is a 10 Gen Intel Core processor (up to an i9) paired with up to 32GB of DDR4 RAM and 1TB of PCIe SSD storage. It also features Lenovo’s new thermal design with a five-point sensor array and four fans to help keep the machine cool.

Lenovo also revamped the keyboard from previous generation Legion laptops. It now has 100% anti-ghosting, more ergonomic key size, and redesigned switches. The keycaps are also treated with an anti-oil abrasion coating.
