After listening to feedback from gamers, Lenovo is introducing a dedicated sub-brand for Lenovo gaming laptops and PCs called Lenovo Legion. If hearing the word “legion” brings up thoughts of the Roman Legion, you’re not far off. As Lenovo mentions, “just as the Roman army shared a common purpose that bound them together as a force to be reckoned with, Lenovo Legion is all about our growing community of gamers and their passion for gaming.”

The first two Lenovo Legion offerings come in the form of gaming laptops and include the Lenovo Legion Y720 and Y520. With options including the latest NVIDIA graphic cards, Intel 7th Gen Core i7 processors, backlit keyboards, UHD resolution, VR-ready, and Dolby Atmos, the Lenovo Legion series aims to set the bar based on gamers’ insights.
