During the latter half of 2015, Lenovo and Razer had announced that they would be working together to create several gaming machines for users. The first products of their collaboration is the Y900 RE (Razer Edition) rig and the Y27g Curved Gaming Monitor.
The Y900 RE comes with an over-clockable Intel i7 Skylake processor and up-to dual NVIDIA GTX 970 GPUs with 4GB GDDR5. It can be configured to have upto 32GB of DDR4 memory in 4 slots and upto 2TB HDD + 256GB SSD.
There is built-in WiFi, Bluetooth 4.0 as well as a 7 in 1 card reader. There are 2 USB 2.0 ports and 4 USB 3.0 ports, all of which are Type-A. The entire rig weighs in at around 15 kilograms and comes in an Ebony Black colour finish. There is also a Razer Chroma feature that allows multi-colour lighting on the Y logo, front panel and back fan.
To make use of all this performance, you need a good monitor to go with it and Lenovo have released the Y27g Curved Gaming Monitor to serve that purpose. Like the name suggests, the monitor has a screen size of 27″ and a resolution of 1920×1080 pixels. It has an aspect ratio of 16:9, refresh rate of 144Hz, a curvature of 1800R, contrast ratio of 3000:1 and a maximum brightness of 300 nits. The display has an anti-glare coating and a response time of 8ms coupled with NVIDIA’s G-SYNC technology. There is a Y27g Razer Edition also available that replaces the red lighting with Razer’s own Chroma Lighting effects.
The ideacentre Y900 RE will run on Windows 10 when it releases in June 2016 and will start at a price of US$2,299 (Around Rs 1.5 lac). The Y27g and Y27g RE will both be available in June as well and will cost you US$ 549.99 (Around Rs 36,000) and US$ 599.99 (Around Rs 40,000) respectively.
