Ascending Fresh Plateaus in Gaming
This latest Lenovo Legion cohort offers a game-changing suite of features that take users to a higher realm of performance. We've further optimized refined technologies such as the Lenovo Legion TrueStrike Keyboard, for instance, for professional gameplay and typing productivity. Inspired by Lenovo's distinguished pedigree of keyboards characterized by snappy actuation, satisfying click-feel and superior key travel via its second transition curve design, the Lenovo Legion TrueStrike keyboards offer a gaming experience that's touch sensitive and tangible. 100 percent anti-ghosting, sub-millisecond response times and 'soft-landing' switches that mimic deep keystrokes at the same force actuation level also combine to achieve uncanny precision.
And now, gamers can wring every ounce of performance out of their rigs through the next-generation thermal efficiencies of the Lenovo Legion Coldfront 2.0. Marking a new era in thermal management, Lenovo Legion Coldfront 2.0 represents an improved synergy of hardware and software that promotes better airflow, lower system temperatures, while keeping your Lenovo Legion laptop cool, quiet and slim. The advanced system now features Dual Burn support, which pushes the CPU and GPU to their in-game limits so that gamers can experience more predictable FPS (frames per second) without the need for thermal throttling. Meanwhile, these Lenovo Legion devices stay cool to the touch despite sustaining top speeds via an optimal cooling system design of tactically placed heat sinks that dissipate more heat away from the motherboard. Also integrated into the Lenovo Legion 7i and Lenovo Legion Y740Si are Vapor Chamber Cooling Systems to dispel heat as dual liquid crystal polymer fan systems cycle air with chilling efficiency. Finally, a multipoint sensor array works to cool down key components in anticipation of intense gameplay for a cooler and quieter experience.
Equally as important for gamers is battery, and that's where Lenovo Legion truly over-indexes, integrating smarter power features to boost battery life and execute whisper-quiet operation. As part of Lenovo Vantage software, Hybrid Mode prolongs battery life by letting users manually disable their dedicated graphics processor when it's not needed. Advanced Optimus, designed in collaboration with NVIDIA for select devices, also boosts battery life considerably by dynamically switching from the Integrated Graphic Processing Unit (iGPU) for more battery life, to the discrete NVIDIA GPU (dGPU) for higher FPS. Lenovo Q-Control 3.0 also lets users switch between three system voltage and fan speeds (Quiet, Balanced, Performance). Other power-enhancing features include Rapid Charge Pro (from 0 to 50 percent battery in 30 minutes) and a battery sip feature (instinctively releases power in small doses for more battery life consistency).
And as always, Lenovo Legion machines excel at capturing real-world immersion through its brilliant displays. This generation of Lenovo Legion makes the most of your display panel's capabilities through Dolby Vision, which offers deeper blacks and brighter whites without washing out color and contrast, while up to 240hz refresh rates at under 1 ms response times are engineered for ultra-smooth cinematics without screen tearing or stuttering. New Lenovo Legion laptops with at least 300 nits of panel brightness or more can now achieve High Dynamic Range (HDR), so that even dramatic shadowed scenes in games and movies with high levels of black tones will show up vividly with more depth and dimension. Combined with 100 percent sRGB color accuracy, this results in truly life-like pictures.
Once again, Lenovo delivers a level of performance and immersion that keeps it the industry's PC leader. All these new Lenovo Legion laptops plus the refreshed Lenovo Legion Y740Si laptop offer up to the latest 10th Gen Intel Core H-Series mobile processors for powerful performance. And for the first time in one of our gaming laptops, players can also opt for premium, high-performance AMD Ryzen 4000 H-Series Mobile Processors in the Lenovo Legion 5.

And introducing the first Lenovo Legion laptop with AMD Ryzen 4000 H-Series Mobile Processors, the Lenovo Legion 5.
The Lenovo Legion 5i1's 15-inch display is up to 500 nits. Both sizes come with up to 16 GB DDR4 memory, 1 TB PCIe SSD storage and 100 percent anti-ghosting with Lenovo Legion TrueStrike keyboard and optional 4-zone RGB system lighting. The 17-inch size option is available with up to 144Hz refresh rate and weighs 2.98 kg (6.56 lbs), while the 15-inch laptop weighs 2.5 kg (5.5 lbs).
The 15-inch Lenovo Legion 5 is available with up to AMD Ryzen 7 4800H-Series Mobile Processors. Providing up to NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2060 discrete graphics, you can get a smooth 144Hz refresh rate to reduce screen tearing and in-game lag.
All models across the Lenovo Legion 5i and 5 families support faster Wi-Fi 612 and Dolby Atmos, and are available in a Phantom Black hue with up to 8 hours of battery life and Rapid Charge Pro.
Get up to NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2080 SUPER GPU for ultrafast frame rates with over 4K resolution at an accessible price point. With cool blue LED lighting, optional RGB internal lighting and its chassis in a Phantom Black hue, gamers can choose to showcase their personality and high-power internals with transparent side panels.
Available with up to Intel Core processors, the new tower features an upgraded Lenovo Legion Coldfront 2.0 cooling system. Its improved thermals have a 150-watt CPU cooler and larger intake fans, letting air circulate faster throughout its airy 28-liter volume interior. The Lenovo Legion Tower 5 will offer the elite performance of AMD Ryzen desktop processors for the most demanding gamers as an option later this year.
The new Lenovo Legion PCs have smarter thermal efficiencies. Next generation, whisper-quiet Lenovo Legion Coldfront 2.0 thermals encompass a complex system of inner-working hardware and software that allow for better airflow and lower system temperatures.
Top Performance, Lower Temperatures
In the past, hard-core gaming sessions meant that thermal flexibility was key as the system could not reliably support the increased thermal throttling required for peak performance—your processor slowed down to protect itself from high temperatures inside the motherboard and fans spun-up, making clock rate virtually unpredictable. That's where Dual Burn comes in. As an added benefit to Lenovo Legion's updated thermals, this feature pushes the CPU and GPU together to squeeze more performance while staying quieter and cooler than in previous generations.
So, you're ready to take the leap from amateur games to more intensive battle royale play. If you're still using an all-purpose device for gaming, you could be missing out on better graphics and processors without proper gaming gear.
Players who want to level up without breaking the bank can rely on Lenovo for a selection of reliable gaming devices to give them a competitive edge, such as the new IdeaPad Gaming 3i laptop and the IdeaCentre Gaming 5i, the new home battle station with flare and horsepower.
The clear sound from speakers powered by Dolby Audio complements an up to 15-inch Full HD (1920 x 1080) IPS display with slim bezel design. For even more bang for your buck, choose from an optional 120Hz refresh rate and up to NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1650 Ti GPU for a truly elevated experience.
This PC stands tall amongst your gaming circle outfitted with Lenovo Q-Control 3.0 for performance mode switching and up to 8 hours of battery life with Rapid Charge. Available in two eye-catching colors, iridescent Chameleon Blue or Onyx Black, and weighing only 2.2 kg (4.85 lbs) for portability, the IdeaPad Gaming 3i features a blue backlit keyboard with 1.5 mm key travel, a one-piece precision trackpad, a full-sized number pad, large arrow keys, and dedicated media keys for the win.
The pure expandability of this tower will grow along with your gaming needs. Rich, powerful sound from Dolby Audio is supported. With ample port selection on the IdeaCentre Gaming 5i, connecting to peripherals is a snap—so why not match one of our high-performance gaming towers with a great monitor made for gaming like the recently unveiled Lenovo Legion Y25-25 Gaming Monitor.
Professional players at the highest level must be able to perform hundreds of actions within a minute. Only a purpose-built monitor and peripherals engineered for exceptionally smooth gameplay can keep up with such savagery.
The Lenovo Legion Y25-25 Gaming Monitor features a near-edgeless 24.5-inch Full HD IPS anti-glare panel display with refresh rates as high as 240Hz.
A gamer's mouse is their most valuable battle weapon and for players wanting to live that wireless life without losing their edge, may we suggest the Lenovo Legion M600 Wireless Gaming Mouse. Featuring an extra-long battery life up to 200 playing hours and energetic 1000Hz polling rate that dramatically lessens latency for lightning-fast reaction times.
