May 12, 2021 – Lenovo believes powerful and immersive gaming experiences exist at the intersection of hardware, software, and support services. For nearly six years, Lenovo Legion has delivered savage performance and sleek yet sophisticated design to a growing audience of avid gamers.

Introducing the new 16-inch flagship Lenovo Legion 7i, the powerful new 16-inch Lenovo Legion 5i Pro, and the new 15-inch and 17-inch, Lenovo Legion 5i, which is easily customisable. Players can complete their setup and optimise esport experiences with the suite of innovative technologies offered on the new Lenovo Legion Y25g-30 IPS gaming monitor with lightning-fast 360Hz refresh rate for the total package in fast-paced, tear-free gameplay.
Equal Parts Domination and Creation
Powered by the latest 11th Gen Intel Core H-series mobile processors, Lenovo Legion offers gamers and content creators a choice of high performance processors for superior streaming, low latency, high frames per second (FPS), and near desktop-calibre performance. Due in part to the expansion slots supporting up to 20 PCIe lanes which result in greater bandwidth and storage allotted to the performance of a connected hardware component (e.g. high-speed graphics cards, SSDs, and Wi-Fi cards), it can dramatically improve tasks like graphics rendering because it offers quicker loading speeds from the SSD during intense gameplay.
The Lenovo Legion gaming PC family runs on Windows 10 to unlock the full potential of your hardware – able to handle the demands of multitasking and heavy workloads with up to 5GHz turbo frequency for peak performance on multiple cores before overclocking.
Built for performance efficiency with eight cores and 16 threads, these Intel-powered gaming laptops are supported by Thunderbolt 4 for more reliable display connections, quicker charging and data transfers. Your laptop doesn’t have to compete for bandwidth on the same wireless channel as other devices thanks to Intel Killer™ Wi-Fi 6 connectivity3 that allows you to watch live gaming streams without slowdowns.
With iconic details in refined finishes and colours that consumers love, the new Lenovo Legion PCs offer the remarkable performance of NVIDIA GeForce RTX Laptop GPUs with the latest ray tracing cinematics. On the new Lenovo Legion 7i, gamers can discover new levels of realism with up to 165W GeForce RTX 3080 Laptop GPU. What’s more, the new Lenovo Legion 5i Pro and Lenovo Legion 5i laptops also support NVIDIA’s latest graphics including GeForce RTX 3050Ti and RTX 3050, both yielding up to 95W of total graphics power to get the most from AAA gaming titles.
