From its inception, Lenovo Legion wanted to make the modern gaming experience immersive, as well as more inclusive. At CES 2022, Lenovo Legion once again delivers on its pursuit of unyielding play and productivity to gamers of every generation and content creators, who can now all universally enjoy premium entertainment and play from home battle stations, dorms, esports arenas – or practically anywhere, and look good doing it too.
Lenovo’s first batch of 2022 battle-ready PCs, monitors, accessories and gamer-focused software and services unveiled today, which include the powerful 16-inch Lenovo Legion 5i Pro and Lenovo Legion 5 Pro laptops and the polished 15-inch Lenovo Legion 5i and Lenovo Legion 5 laptops.
The new gaming laptops come available with Windows 11 gaming performance, next-gen AMD Ryzen™ processors, or latest 12th Gen Intel Core processors and up to latest fully powered NVIDIA GeForce RTX Laptop GPUs. Inspired by gamer research, these new devices celebrate ‘magical minimalism’ design and denote a leap towards a contemporary aesthetic with purposeful detailing like an uncluttered wordmark, expressive venting, and immersive lighting. A top-placed camera bump with eShutter kill switch and rear port protection convey a sleek look of power and performance that helps to create a more inclusive experience focused on player enjoyment and winning, not labels.
Lenovo Legion Series
Purpose built for virtually all the players out there who want an all-rounder PC to help them stay social, connected and just have fun without sacrificing performance, the 15-inch Lenovo Legion 5i laptop with up to 12th Gen Intel Core i7-12700H processor and the 15-inch Lenovo Legion 5 laptop with next-gen AMD Ryzen processors strike a sleek, happy medium between gaming performance while also handling multitasking, productivity and entertainment needs beautifully. These slim and super minimal laptops are unobtrusive and come equipped with up to optional NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3060 Laptop GPU, or take your PC graphics experience even further with the latest GeForce RTX 30 Series Laptop GPU for new levels of gaming excitement and up to 125W TGP from the GPU and up to 1485Mhz Boost Clock.
Both laptop SKUs are offered in Storm Grey and Cloud Grey hues10 with a choice of 4-Zone RGB or white backlighting via our new Legion Spectrum RGB Lighting solution built into the Legion TrueStrike keyboard that now comes color matched in all grey with swappable WASD key caps for a customized look.
Whether typing a report for class or work, or just clicking through MOBAs, your keystrokes are now noticeably quieter with a 33 percent reduction in percussion noise over the previous generation via the improved key travel of soft-landing switches yielding 1.5mm key travel. Moreover, the improved stealth cooling system found on the Lenovo Legion 5 series of laptops is thermally more efficient and quieter – offering a 40 percent more powerful fan with a larger exhaust fin area that’s 45 percent larger than its previous generation.
Effortlessly portable and designed to be 15 percent thinner than before for even more mobility, another great change brought by this mainstream gaming laptop is the improved aluminum and magnesium blended metal cover – so wave bye to that old plastic feeling and say hello to cooler skin temps. Check out the design of the camera bump for improved 1-finger lift solution while the handy rear I/O indent keeps any USB-C® adapters plugged in flush to the machine for an easier time slipping this laptop in-and-out of a bag.
Offering speeds for intense gaming with flexible display configurations for most every gamer, including an up to 15-inch WQHD (2560 x 1440) IPS 16:9 display with super-fast up to 165Hz refresh rate, 100 percent sRGB color gamut at 300 nits bright, and full spectrum visuals with Dolby Vision – other features of the new Lenovo Legion 5i and Lenovo Legion 5, include:
