It should be noted that Legion Y9000K Exploration Edition is not based on the Intel 12th Gen Core series, although we are likely just 3 months away from said CPU series announcement. The updated Y9000K is more or less a Legion 7i refresh with liquid metal and an even higher-quality screen.
The laptop is equipped with Tiger Lake-H(45) Intel Core i7-1800H 8-core CPU. It will be offered with three GPU options: RTX 3060, RTX 3070, and RTX 3080, none of which is the rumored SUPER variant. What is mentioned though that all these GPUs are running at maximum TDP (so-called Max-P variants).

The Y9000K Exploration Edition offers a 16:10 screen with a 92% body to screen ratio. This is a 2560×1600 resolution screen with a 165 Hz refresh rate and 500 nits, such specs are reported by Gizmondo. However, the company has just teased that the laptop will (also?) be offered with a Mini-LED display with 1250 nits of brightness, DisplayHDR1000 certification, and 1152 diming zones. It would therefore combine all the features gamers and content creators want.
