That awkward moment we thought Dell has steal the show with its new 2-in-1 XPS laptop and Lenovo showed up with its beastly gaming machine. Lenovo today has drawn the curtain off its latest Windows 10 gaming laptops at the ongoing Consumer Electronic Show (CES) in Las Vegas, namely Legion Y520 and Legion Y720. Lenovo describes both laptops as the next-generation in gaming industry.
The Legion Y720 also bridge the gap between reality and virtual world by offering VR (Virtual Reality) support out-of-the-box, thanks to its high-end premium Nvidia Graphics. Hooking a VR headset into the HDMI slot will set the VR baked into the graphics into motion. The Legion Y520 misses on this feature though. Besides its VR support, the Legion Y720 is also claimed by Lenovo to be world’s first Windows-based PC to support Dolby Atmos, which promise immersive audio experience during gameplay. The Y520 again misses on this feature but it comes pre-loaded with Dolby Audio Premium and its dual 2W speakers are Harman Kardon certified.
