Lenovo launches its “Legion” Gaming Laptops in India

Lenovo has launched its dedicated brand for gaming – “Legion” in India. The gaming brand is the outcome of significant time spent on building and listening to a global community of gamers to better understand what they value most. Legion enters India with two new powerful gaming laptops – Lenovo Legion Y520 and Y720 – designed for casual and performance gamers who are on-the-go.

The laptops allow for a greater gaming experience in every sense – powering VR, better sound with Dolby, optional backlit keyboards, FHD IPS resolution and optimized cooling. Both laptops are equipped with up to 7th-Gen Intel Core i7 CPU and the latest NVIDIA discrete graphics cards to deliver that extra edge on performance.

The Legion Y520 has an aluminum-brushed body and weighs less than 2.5 kg. The device allows gamers to custom tune audio with the 2 x 2W Harman speakers and Dolby Audio Premium for audio quality even without headphones. The Legion Y520 laptop has an optional red backlit keyboard that provides 1.7 mm of key travel for crisp, accurate, and responsive keystrokes. The laptop comes with up to 128GB of PCIe SSD storage, ideal for reducing boot-up time and in-game loading, or 1TB of HDD storage.

The Legion Y720 laptop is the Dolby Atmos Windows-based PC bringing an enhanced sense of depth and detail to the overall gaming experience. With NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1060 graphics, the laptop is the Oculus certified VR-ready machine. It also comes with Thunderbolt 3. The laptop comes with the option of an integrated Xbox One Wireless receiver, which can support up to four controllers simultaneously for gaming with friends.

Bhaskar Choudhuri, Marketing Director, Lenovo India, said, “We are extremely excited to bring the Legion brand to our fast-growing community of Indian gamers. Gaming continues to be our strategic focus area and the new brand further enhances the Y series portfolio in India. The new Lenovo Legion laptops address every gamer’s demand for a superior and immersive experience with VR and outstanding audio capabilities.”
