Lenovo Legion unveils pricing and availability of its new gaming lineup for 2020 in the Philippines
Powerful gaming machines at competitive price points!
Lenovo has recently announced its new Legion gaming lineup for 2020, and it features a wealth of new gaming laptops as well as two gaming towers. All of Legion’s new gaming machines come with improved thermal management, better keyboards, and powerful internals.
For its 2020 lineup, Lenovo focused on improving its gaming range based on what gamers want from their PC. Interestingly, one of the key findings of Lenovo is that gamers actually prefer more subtle and elegant looking laptops over loud and showy gaming notebooks. In line with this Lenovo further made its new laptops sleeker, as well as simplified the naming scheme to the 3, 5, and 7 series.
