Lenovo Legion Y740S – gaming laptop without a dGPU?

Memory and storage tests

Gaming laptops in a thin body often suffer from two flaws – overheating and short battery life. What to do if you want high processor performance, but in a thin body, with good battery and at the same time not lose graphics performance when you are at home or at work? A gaming notebook with dedicated graphics card will always be heavier than an ultrabook and will not offer such battery life. On the other hand, ultrabooks lack CPU performance. The Legion Y740S resolves this dilemma.

Memory and storage tests




The Y740S offers 15–30% slower memory speed, but has the best latency of the laptops compared.


I can praise SSD speeds with sequential speeds of almost 3.3 GB/s when reading and 2.9 GBs when writing. Not to forget the second free M.2 slot, which allows you to expand the internal storage or create RAID and a configuration for even higher speeds.
