With the bottom cover removed you can clearly see the internal components, including the new Legion ColdFront 4.0 cooling system which works in conjunction with the Lenovo Vantage software. As we show in our video, Lenovo Q Control 4.0 allows the user to press Fn + Q to toggle between Performance mode (high CPU voltage, high fan speeds), Quiet mode (lower CPU voltage, lower fan speed, better battery) and Balanced mode (day to day automatic management).
