The gaming laptops differ from the rest of notebooks a lot. They should look and act in another way. Say, currently, the ultrabooks with a minimalist look and slim body are gaining momentum. The latest and the most attractive of them is the LG Gram announced recently. But it is not comfortable for gaming purposes. Its appearance and hardware hint at other operations to be done on it. In this sense, the gaming laptops should look sportive and come in with a powerful graphics card. The one we are going to talk below has got a price cut. So you are offered to get your hands on the Lenovo Legion R720 gaming laptop for only $899.99 if using the coupon (code: LenovoGam). Thus it’s a direct $300 off!
Well, we have been talking about the key features of a regular gaming laptop. So it’s the right time to learn whether the Lenovo Legion R720 sports such features. First, it comes with a 15.6-inch IPS screen providing a Full HD resolution of 1920 x 1080 pixels. In this sense, our hero hasn’t anything to boast of, but this display (resolution) is sufficient to enjoy good graphics performance when playing.

Apart from this, the laptop is packed with the 7th-gen Intel Core i5-7300HQ chip that uses a quad-core architecture and clocks at 2.5GHz. This is not the most powerful SoC in the world, but it’s capable of providing a smooth gaming process. Any game you choose will run smoothly on this laptop, for sure. Thanks to the GeForce GTX 1050 Ti GPU you can play any game at any resolution and mode without lags and delays. The processor is paired with a 1TB HDD +128GB SSD, while the memory is 8GB.
In terms of connectivity, the Lenovo Legion R720 comes with various interfaces including two USB 3.0, one USB 2.0, one USB Type-C, and HDMI ports. But the laptop also supports a dual-band WiFi connectivity.
At last, the Lenovo Legion R720 looks like a classic gaming laptop with sports elements. So even if you are not aware of this laptop, when looking at it you’ll understand what a category product you are dealing with. The housing is made of plastic, and there is a red backlit keyboard. Everything corresponds the ‘standards’.
Thanks for the info, Argam. One of my friends bought the i7-7700HQ model a few months ago and I have to admit that this beast of a laptop looks even better IRL.
His only complaint is that the battery life could’ve been better, but, other than that, it’s a great laptop for gaming now and will probably be good enough for work in 5 years time.
