The “next big name in gaming” is here, according to Lenovo – the Lenovo Y70 Touch gaming laptop.<\/p>\n

The Y70 features a 17.3-inch full HD screen, JBL speakers and subwoofer, and solid hardware under the hood.<\/p>\n

A stand-out feature of the laptop is its touchscreen, which uses 10-point touchscreen technology for an “optimal user experience”.<\/p>\n

The Y70 also features an AccuType keyboard – where the keys are slightly curved for comfort; a 720p webcam, and Veriface Pro, which allows you to log in to your laptop using facial recognition.<\/p>\n
