Lenovo Legion has formally launched its three next-generation gaming PCs on Friday (7 May 2021).

The Legion's three new gaming laptops – Legion 5, Legion 5 Pro, and Legion 7 –  embraces innovation by providing better resolution displays, AI-bolstered thermal cooling, and framerate customization, and the power to completely immerse gamers or face difficult tasks at ease with the AMD Ryzen™ 5000 H-series Mobile Processors and NVIDIA GeForce RTX™ 3000 Series GPUs. 

“Our latest Legion devices are battle-ready to let users easily breeze through the most demanding requirements for work and play. Continuing on the promise of innovation and smarter technology for all, the new PCs enable seamless play using technologies such as AI to make the most out of the instant responsiveness and accelerated performance from AMD and NVIDIA’s newest gaming processors. Together with the help of our strategic partners, we are in a fantastic position to further build a gaming reputation based on continuous innovation,” said Lenovo Philippines President and General Manager Michael Ngan.

Lenovo Legion's three new devices are among the first notebooks to equip AMD Ryzen 5000 H series Mobile Processors, one of the only processors in the world to have 8 high-performance cores suited for ultrathin gaming notebooks for incredible efficiency, elite performance, and long-lasting battery life that makes up for superior gaming performance. The processors boast AMD’s new Zen 3 Core Architecture and the world’s most advanced x86 chip technology.

Also, part of the highlights is the  NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3000 Series GPUs developed to back AMD Ryzen's prized processors as it enables the new Legion Gaming PCs to bring the ultimate gaming performance. These graphics cards are jam-packed with new internals such as the award-winning NVIDIA Ampere architecture, 3rd Generation Ray Tracing Cores, 2nd Generation Tensor Cores, and streaming multiprocessors to give gamers and content creators the most realistic graphics ever along with cutting-edge AI to fine-tune art to the smallest detail. They also feature NVIDIA DLSS 2.0 Technology that also uses AI to accelerate the laptop’s performance when playing games. Booting up Cyberpunk 2077 with DLSS Technology, for example, boosts performance by up to 60%.

The  Legion 5, Legion 5 Pro, and Legion 7 come with the sub-brand's signature smart technology feature, the Lenovo Legion AI Engine, which currently supports the top-16 AAA games and enables them to be played as smoothly as ever. This engine gathers together the best-in-class hardware, software, and machine learning to overclock PC performance. Upon booting up a game, the Legion AI Engine automatically detects and routs the most-ideal Thermal Design Power (TDP) settings to the CPU and GPU to achieve the maximum frames per second (FPS) in games. It also uses machine learning in other games to continuously tune gaming performance for maximum results.

It also the Coldfront 3.0 thermal management system to keep the temperature inside the cooler as gaming action heats up. The AI-bolstered  Coldfront 3.0 packs an intelligent intake system that allows for an increased airflow of up to 18% as compared to the last generation by using turbo-charged dual-fans and quad-channel exhausts with vapor chamber technology. Together with the help of efficient thermal conduction materials, this thermal management system moves huge volumes of air through components to dissipate heat rapidly and allows for optimized performance and all-day mobility with long-lasting battery life.

Legion 5 Pro

Hailed as the world's world’s first 16-inch Quad High Definition (QHD) display gaming notebooks, both  Legion 5 Pro and Legion 7 have a taller and clearer (2560 x 1600 resolution) 16:10 aspect ratio. Combined with up to a 165Hz refresh rate, 100%sRGB, and 500 nits of brightness, gamers are treated to a cinematic-like experience that also assists in competitive games. The larger display raises a gamer’s sightlines and provides a better field of view, so they’ll detect enemies faster. Moreover, both displays of the Legion 5 Pro and Legion 7 have 3ms response times and can come out VESA DisplayHDR™ 400 Certified and with Dolby Vision® and NVIDIA® G-SYNC™ support.

Not only Lenovo Legion has the Harman speakers – these are also optimized with Nahimic® Audio which gives a competitive edge with 360-degree audio and features such as Night Mode with smart volume reduction, and Sound Tracker that visually points out a sound’s source and direction in a game.

Legion 7

Lenovo has also upgraded its Vantage software for Legion 5, Legion 5 Pro, and Legion 7. The revved-up support program now has the Vantage Smart Performance Services solution that reduces PC downtime by scanning, detecting, and removing traces of spyware, malware, and adware. With these reinforced solutions, games can also bank on them to significantly reduce lag and latency issues while playing online multiplayer games through their ability to fix network and access issues.

Aiding the Lenovo Vantage in enabling seamless play among the new devices is their 3-Year Premium Care warranty service that’s bundled together with the notebooks upon purchase. The service consists of solutions that provide an advanced and tailored level of care that reduces downtime, increases efficiency, and keeps customers moving.
