The biggest draw however, are the graphics card options, ranging from an Nvidia GeForce GTX 1060 up to a Nvidia GeForce RTX 2080. It's a VR-ready machine with a dual-channel thermal system and optional liquid cooling. Availability is November in EMEA with a starting price of EUR 1,999 (around Rs. 1,65,000) for the Lenovo Legion T730 with GeForce RTX 2070 refresh, and EUR 2,699 (approximately Rs. 2,23,000) with the GeForce RTX 2080 refresh.

The official prices and exact release dates for India are yet to be confirmed. With that mind, it will be interesting to see if either desktop PC make it to market when you consider how every PC manufacturer has been focussing squarely on laptops of late.
