Lenovo Legion Y730-17ICH (i7-8750H, GTX 1050 Ti)

By
Professional look, but gamer at heart. Lenovo wants to reshape its Legion series to appeal to a broader audience outside of just hardcore gamers. The Legion Y730 represents the first step in this new direction and it is subsequently the most balanced laptop in the family to date.

The Lenovo Legion Y730 series directly succeeds the Legion Y720 series. Unlike the Y720, however, the Y730 includes both 15-inch and 17-inch screen sizes for a wider range of options than its immediate predecessor. We recommend reading our review on the 15-inch Legion Y530 as it shares a similar aesthetic design to our 17-inch Legion Y730 that we have here today.


As of this writing, there are only two SKUs of the 17-inch Legion Y730 available distinguished by their processors. The first is equipped with a quad-core Core i5-8300H while the second uses a hexa-core i7-8750H. Otherwise, both have the same 1080 IPS matte display and GTX 1050 Ti GPU. Our review unit is the faster configuration retailing for about $1250 USD. As a mainstream gaming laptop from Lenovo, the system has a long line of direct 17-inch competitors including the MSI GP72, HP Omen 17, Dell G3 17, Acer Predator Helios 300, and the Asus ROG GL703GE.

Is FaceApp Really a Privacy Threat

By
A few tweets about FaceApp, an AI photo editor developed by a Russian company, sparked a privacy freakout among those who'd uploaded their selfies. However, security researchers say the concerns are overblown. Should you be afraid of FaceApp , the photo editor out of Russia accused of vacuuming up photos of millions of Americans? According to security researchers, we all need to calm down. The app isn't trying to invade your privacy and mass upload all the photos from your phone. "We have found nothing out of the ordinary in this app," Aviran Hazum , a researcher at the antivirus company Check Point, said in an email. Hazum is among the experts who've analyzed FaceApp and found no major privacy violations in the software's processes. "I must say that this app seems to be developed in a good fashion—no greedy permissions, and it does what they claim it does," he added. So why did the app suddenly raise alarms? FaceApp has actuall...

Cyber criminals looking to exploit in the anniversary of WhatsApp

By
WhatsApp turned ten years old in 2019, and that fact has not escaped the attention of cybercriminals looking to exploit the anniversary. Researchers from ESET have received a WhatsApp message offering 1000GB of free internet data by way of a WhatsApp birthday present to its users. That message, unsurprisingly, is neither from WhatsApp itself as it purported to be, nor is the offer of 1000GB of free internet data genuine. It is a scam, and not a very convincing one assuming you know what to look for that is. Unfortunately, given that this is the 10th anniversary year for WhatsApp and gifts to loyal members are not exactly unusual, it would be all too easy for the unwary user to get carried away by the fraudulent promotion. What does the message say? "WhatsApp Offers 1000GB Free Internet!" the message reads, with a link to click for more details. That link is the first real giveaway that all may not be as it seems; it isn't an official WhatsApp domain. Howev...
