Ok..i change my mind, legion Y740 17inch then....

Selenite is good if you:
Don't need TB3, bigger battery, onsite warranty, GSYNC with MUX
Don't mind mech kb, slightly louder fans, upgrading dual channel RAM by your own
Mind thin bezels+lower weight+smaller footprint, nosecam, heavy power brick, cheaper price

Hi, will you do the review for Legion Y540 15inch? notice i5 version released
*
Nope - unless someone can borrow me their unit

Finally can customize...glad that even 1650 model has 170w adapter after so many complaints online about battery draining (never happened to me) - yes it's heavier but I prefer the approach more

Nice...glad that you got the BOE panel (slightly slower ms but better contrast compared to LG 144Hz)...suggest adding another 8GB for dual channel

Don't use Prime95, unrealistic load

Have time for some thermal testing? (Aida64 FPU+Unigine Heaven)

I only did for Unigine and it scored 2.9Kish @1080P extreme if i remember correctly.OK sure,will try out Aida64 later. Any good suggestion for the ram?
*
Use FPU only+Heaven not single test

RAM is RAM, any 8GB 2666MHz RAM will do

Max fans? Ambient temp? Power consumption for CPU? Let it run for at least 10 mins, and don't use benchmark in Heaven

Yeah Max fan, and normal room ambient temperature. Both profile tested for 1 hour long with/without benchmark in heaven (more than 10 sets) only the last 3 tests were recorded. Throttle came in quicker and harder with heaven bench enable. Power consumption is soft capped at 45W, could see it draw 50-55 sometimes.

For example

-125mV
CPU Max 96°C all core Min 3.3g, Average 3.60g with heaven benchmark
CPU Max 96°C all core Min 3.4g, Average 3.70g without heaven benchmark
Room temp ~26/27
*
Those temps sounds a bit high in Y540...might due to bad paste though

CPU power consumption at 45W with FPU+Heaven? Have you tried lifting up the bottom for more airflow?

Does Lenovo plan to release AMD version of processor chip in this laptop?
*
I don't think so - Ryzen mobile APUs aren't so suitable for gaming laptops for now due to lower IPC and no 6 core option (also no undervolting)

At the same time, I also found that Legion Y740 (both 15" & 17") no longer available for purchase (website). Not sure whether they are stop receive order temporarily, or want to update new spec for it (In some country, Lenovo already update spec to 9th generation CPU for Y740).

Maybe update 9th gen+16 series...still can get Y740 from stores

Anyone here using the beastly Y740? Still thinking if I should get this... Currently using Y400, a lot of issues are showing up lol

It's expensive for its specs (in Malaysia) but Y740 is also recommended by many laptop enthusiasts out there

In comparison with Y540, I do think Y540 is the best for the buck + the design is cleaner and the keyboard is waaaaaaaaaaaaaay more make sense. You'll lose Thunderbolt 3 btw but I do think it's worth it.

Y740 starts around RM 7400 for the 8750h and 2060 while Y540 at RM 5,500 for 9750h and 2060, that's RM 2400 cheaper!
*
Note that Y740 is slightly more portable, has aluminium material, has GSYNC+MUX and slightly better thermals (despite thinner). Only thing I don't like is the keyboard layout

Just Received my Y540. Still haven't power up it yet but the power brick is really ridiculous BIG!!! Gonna look for smaller power charger, is inconvenient to bring this out.

Any recommended seller or compatible Lenovo charger?
*
Big 230w charger better than small 180w charger imo...no need worry battery drain due to excess power draw

There is no other alternative unless Lenovo has introduced a smaller 20V charger

Just done a quick price check

-avoid Y545 - more expensive yet worse than Y540 (mainly cooling)
-Y7000 SE is basically Y540 (China version with red accents), price is about the same but only with 1x1 Intel 9462

The price is not bad for the specs.
But i check with their tech team, the screen is 72% Gamut 60hz, It is referring to 72% SRGB Gamut right?

Is there really a big difference between 99% SRGB vs 72% SRGB?
I do a little image editing work but nothing serious.

72% is NTSC. About >90% sRGB

BTW that price is...very low...
