Lenovo Legion Y720 Cube
Gadgets|September 2017

For a lot of people, PC gaming can be quite an intimidating thing to get into; not everyone knows how to build a rig from scratch, and really it’s more convenient to just pick up a console and start playing out of the box. However, pre-built gaming desktops are becoming more and more akin to their personalized counterparts in terms of power and flexibility. Lenovo’s new iteration of the Legion Cube is one such machine.

DESIGN

The Y720 Cube is aesthetically identical to its predecessor the Y710, and with this rig, I’m very much okay with it. Why change an already perfect thing, right?

The rig’s outer shell is a cross between the strong lines and angles of an Art Deco train and the badassery of the Black Knight from Monty Python and the Holy Grail (Tis but a scratch!). Its facade is fierce and assertive, combining inclined panels and accented by a Y-shaped light and two more lights near the base. The front tapers to the back, with exaggerated vents and bevels adding to the handsome exterior. The folks at Lenovo smartly combined matte, glossy, and carbon fiber-textured plastic with metal mesh to give character to the tower.

In terms of practicality, the Y720 Cube is designed to be accommodated by even a small desk in a small flat without taking too much space. It even has a carry handle for easy transportation.

HONOR X8B

HONOR’s Xa-series smartphones impressed me last year. HONOR’s entry to mid-range lineup was reasonably priced and each model had its niche special feature. Among the standouts last year was HONOR X8a, an entry mid-ranger with a massive 100-megapixel camera that shot out the competition. This year, the HONOR X8b is a worthy successor to the X8a.
