Verdict

The Lenovo Legion Y700 (8GB/128GB) is a compact 8.8-inch gaming tablet featuring a high-resolution 2560 x 1600 IPS LCD display with a 120Hz refresh rate and 500 nits of brightness. Powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon 870 chipset with UFS 3.1 storage, it includes a 6,550mAh battery supporting 45W fast charging and uniquely offers dual USB-C ports alongside a dedicated microSDXC slot for expansion up to 1TB. While it is highly praised for its premium aluminum build, top-tier haptics, and 'bypass charging' feature that reduces heat during gaming, the primary cellular version is often limited to specific regions (primarily China), and the device lacks a 3.5mm headphone jack and high-quality cameras.
