Although it’s part of Lenovo’s new Legion series, it’s a direct successor to the Y900, with nearly identical design and build, similar features, and above all else, an upgraded Kaby Lake chipset with a Pascal architecture GPU. Today, we put the Y920 under our microscopes.


However, we also found plenty of room for improvement, as we were disappointed by the lackluster “Turbo Mode” feature, high CPU temperatures under load, unique mechanical keyboard, loud fan, and price (among other items). Suffice it to say that it made a statement, too, as we were impressed by a number of its achievements: namely, reasonable temperatures, strong build quality, storage configuration options, connectivity, lack of throttling, and G-Sync capability.

Nearly a year ago, we evaluated Lenovo’s Y900 gaming notebook, which was a bit of an adventure into uncharted territory for the manufacturer that is to say, it was the first device truly positioned to compete with the likes of the highest-end 17-inch Alienware, MSI, and ASUS ROG gaming notebooks-and it was priced accordingly.
