Lenovo Legion Y530 updated with the Nvidia GeForce GTX 1060

[Redaktion]

When Lenovo released this years lineup of Legion gaming laptops, they were a downgrade in terms of GPU performance. A few months after launch, Lenovo will rectify this – at least when it comes to the less expensive Legion Y530.

Happy with the announcement, but isn't the jump in price a bit too big? From 1000$ to 1400$ just because of the 1060. Unless they'll upgrade the thermals too.

The announced pricing was in Euro, not US-Dollar – so US pricing might be a bit different.

How relevant is this update now when Nvidia is releasing the next generation of GPU:s?
Pretty much "outdated on release".

Most likely the Y730 will get whatever the eventual 1060 and 1070 mobile chip replacements are called. Will be interesting to see the price of a 1060 or 2060 Y730 vs the narrow screen HP omen 15 1070 laptop.

How can I connect 2x 1080p 60Hz displays and extend my desktops using the single USB-C port that supports DisplayPort?

Will it work via the ThinkPad docking stations designed for the ThinkPad X1 Extreme?
