Chinese tech giant Lenovo has hinted at the launch
of a new variant of the Lenovo Legion Y7000P laptop. The new variant comes in a
special Flame Red paint job which will join the black, white and red variants
already released. The white variant was released recently, with the Y-shaped
logo emitting blue light. The Lenovo Legion Y7000P Flame Red special edition
will be released on October 8.
The Flame Red paint job is the distinguishing
feature between this upcoming variant and the existing model. The Flame Red
edition will pack an Intel Core i7 SoC paired with 16GB of RAM. The device
comes with up to 1TB of solid-state storage. The laptop will come in two
graphic card variant. One with the Nvidia GeForce GTX 1660Ti priced at 9099
yuan (US$ 1272) while there will be another model with an Nvidia GeForce RTX 2060
priced at 9699 yuan (US$ 1356).
Lenovo first unveiled the Legion Y9000K, Y7000P, and
Y7000 at CES 2019before they were released in China. The 15-inch laptops are
also equipped with the new generation of NVIDIA GeForce graphics cards and
buyers get to chose between the RTX and GTX. Zhang Hua, vice president of
Lenovo Group and general manager of consumer business in Lenovo China disclosed
that the Lenovo Legion notebook has three unique features namely; Dual-Direct
GFX dual-mode enhanced display, TSI frost blade cooling system, and Fn+Q
one-button beast mode. The TSI frost blade cooling system has a heat pipe with
a diameter of up to 8mm. This has led to an increase in the heat transfer area
by 78% and a reduction in the irregular fan cover noise by 10%.
The Beast mode is activated using the Fn+Q button.
The Beast mode, when activated let the fan spin at full-speed in order to
quickly dissipate heat from the system. This leads to stabilization of the
hardware temperature, ensuring the stability of the game operation. Beast mode
also turns off power consumption limits, increases CPU power and clock speed,
gains more computing performance, and increases game speed. Furthermore, the
laptops feature a full-size keyboard with a white backlight.
