Lenovo Redefines Mobile AI Tablet with New Legion Y700: 8.8-inch Model Now Available

The evolution of the pocket-rocket tablet is here. Lenovo’s Legion Y700, a device lauded for its performance in a compact form, has just launched its fourth generation. Released on May 20th, this AI-powered flagship tablet is geared towards a demographic demanding both power and portability: students and gaming enthusiasts. The Legion Y700 Gen 4 emphasizes a “small tablet, big impact” philosophy, aiming to be the Z-generation’s go-to device for both productivity and entertainment.

The Legion Y700 Gen 4 boasts an 8.8-inch display, a size meticulously chosen after extensive ergonomic research and user feedback. This “sweet spot” offers superior portability compared to larger tablets while providing a wider field of view than a smartphone. It’s perfectly tailored for a comfortable single-handed grip, ideal for streaming your favorite shows or easily holding while gaming. For those preferring a two-handed grip, the design allows for full thumb coverage of the screen’s touch controls, enabling seamless actions in your favorite games. That is not only not too big, like a 11/12 inch tablet, which is difficult to control with one hand, but also not small, like a phone screen. The resolution is a crisp 3K (3040×1904) with a 16:10 aspect ratio, coupled with a speedy 165Hz refresh rate and a responsive 360Hz touch sampling rate. This combination translates to exceptionally smooth visuals, guaranteeing an immersive experience whether you’re enjoying a movie on the go or engaging in a competitive gaming session.

Imagine yourself in line at a campus coffee shop. With a quick reach into your backpack, you pull out the Legion Y700 Gen 4. The 8.8-inch screen immediately comes to life, instantly transforming into a “pocket cinema” with immersive Dolby Atmos audio. Or perhaps you’re waiting for the bus; keep pace in the game in your hands, without the bulkiness of a larger tablet. Even during a short break between classes, the Legion Y700 Gen 4 offers a “mobile esports” experience. Enjoy lag-free gameplay in titles like “Peacekeeper Elite” or play demanding games, like “Genshin Impact” or “Honkai: Star Rail,” with smooth full-frame performance. It’s like having a handheld gaming console in your pocket.

Unlike 11- or 12-inch tablets, the Legion Y700 Gen 4’s 8.8-inch screen strikes a balance between screen real estate and portability. It functions as a “portable notebook” in a study environment, providing ample space for viewing PowerPoint slides without unnecessary zooming. With the ability to open multiple windows, you can use it to, say, take notes on one side and reference materials on the other, maximizing efficiency. And with the AI capabilities of the Tianxi personal super-smart assistant, your learning efficiency is instantly improved.

For readers, the 8.8-inch display of the Legion Y700 Gen 4 becomes a “portable e-reader.” Reading in portrait mode delivers the feeling of holding a physical book, while landscape mode showcases the artful layout of comic books. In addition the device has a paper-like display effect and an eye-protection technology to ensure a comfortable reading experience, just like a real book.

Regardless of the situation, the Legion Y700 Gen 4 is always there in your hands. The secret lies in the perfect 8.8-inch screen, offering both immersion and portability. It’s more than just a tablet; it’s a daily tool for students and entertainment enthusiasts.

Beyond its size, the 8.8-inch screen is packed with useful features, including 600 nits of brightness, a wide DCI-P3 color gamut, and hardware-level eye protection, ensuring comfortable, long-term use. The device also features a powerful combination of the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 processor, with its “reversed engine” technology, and a large 7600mAh battery, giving you long-lasting, efficient performance.

Internally, the Legion Y700 Gen 4 features Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 flagship processor supported by blazing-fast LPDDR5X Ultra 9600Mbps memory and UFS 4.1 storage. This “performance trident” with the high-refresh-rate display allows for lower latency and enhanced detail in games like “Peacekeeper Elite.” The Legion Y700 Gen 4 is also loaded with features like AI Voiceprint Hunter and AI Pixel Sniper, helping gamers pinpoint enemy locations and fine-tune their gameplay.

Catering particularly to students, Lenovo offers several exclusive benefits. Discounts are available for students, who purchase Lenovo products, benefiting from a combination of national subsidies and special educational prices. Additionally, students can also participate in the value-retention trade-in service, entitling them to a discount of 300-500 yuan. And most importantly, from May 12th, students can register for the “Lenovo University Youth with AI” event, where participation winners and campus ambassadors will have an opportunity to receive Lenovo internships this year. Lenovo’s dedication delivers powerful, high-performance products to the university crowd at compelling price points. This offers also the opportunity for students to find their own place in the AI world.
