Legion Series

For starters, Legion is a gaming sub-brand brand that comes under Lenovo’s diverse portfolio. Since its inception in 2017, the Legion series has continued to evolve and expand, with new models and product lines being introduced to meet the changing needs of gamers.

Lenovo Legion: Birth of Lenovo’s Gaming Sub Brand

The first Legion-branded laptops were unveiled at CES 2017, and the brand now sells all kinds of gaming products, including gaming desktops, monitors, accessories, and even software. The company even forayed into the gaming smartphone market with the Phone Duel in 2020 but bailed out in just few years.

It all started with the IdeaPad Y

However, Lenovo’s gaming lineup is much older than the inception of Legion. The company used to sell laptops for games and multimedia under the IdeaPad Y series as early as 2008. The Y series was designed for hardcore gamers and featured high-performance hardware and advanced cooling systems to support intense gaming sessions This continued till 2017, when Lenovo introduced the first Legion gaming laptops: Y520 and Y720. These new laptops dropped the IdeaPad Y branding but kept alive the gaming spirit of the old lineup. Lenovo kept using the glowing “Y” as the brand’s logo.

Legion 5 and Legion 7 in 2020

Then in 2020, Lenovo streamlined the Legion lineup of gaming laptops with the new Legion 5 and Legion 7 models. They were the successor to the Y540 and Y740 that were launched in 2019. Even within the Legion 5 and Legion 7 series, Lenovo offers Intel and AMD (Ryzen) models distinguished by the presence/absence of the ‘i” suffix. Later, Legion added Pro models as the ultimate flagship gaming laptop and a Slim model as a portable alternative.

Legion Pro 5 and Pro 7 Series at CES 2023

At CES 2023, Lenovo announced the Legion Pro 5/5i and Pro 7/7i series laptops that succeeded the Leigon 5 and Legion 5 of the previous year. These new laptops are also significant since they are the first laptops with Lenovo’s in-house AI chip, which the company says improves the fps in games through resource optimization.
