Lenovo Legion line expands with sleek 5i, 5i Pro, and 7i gaming laptops
Lenovo has announced a new round of products for PC gamers, including the new Legion 5i, Legion 5i Pro, and Legion 7i models. Among other things, the laptops pack Intel's newly announced 11th-generation Intel Core H-Series mobile processors. Joining the new laptops is the Legion Y25g-30, a gaming monitor that boasts a blistering 360Hz refresh rate for your favorite fast-paced video games.
Lenovo Legion 5i
Lenovo's new Legion 5i gaming laptop comes with two display size options: 15-inches and 17-inches. Both models sport the new 11th-generation Intel Core H-Series processors, as well as up to the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070 GPU. Lenovo says the model packs its Lenovo AI Engine for optimizing performance, as well as its Legion Coldfront 3.0 and Q-Control.
The 15-inch display features a QHD resolution, up to 165Hz refresh rate, and 100-percent sRGB color reproduction. Other notable features include the addition of Nahimic 3D audio, Dolby Vision, and the Legion TrueStrike keyboard.
The larger 17-inch version is similar in most ways, but with some key differences — the Full HD display, for example, offers up to a 144Hz refresh rate, 72-percent NTSC color, and it won't be available in the Stingray White option offered with its smaller sibling.
The Lenovo Legion 5i models will be available in July with a starting price of $969.99 USD.
