Lenovo Legion
Lenovo has two gaming laptops on offer, theLegion 7i and Legion 5i. The biggest differentiator between the two lines is the extent to which you may customize the internals.
On the CPU front, the Legion 7i and Legion 5i will both rely on the latest10th Gen IntelCore H-Series mobile processors with up to eight cores. Lenovo didn’t specify clock speeds other than to say the laptops “will enjoy higher clock speeds.”

The Lenovo Legion 7i takes advantage ofNvidia’s GeForce RTX Super GPUwith Max-Q design, while the Legion 5i drops to the RTX 2060 GPU. Both laptops will include support for NVIDIA G-Sync for more seamless gaming. The laptops will also feature NVIDIA’s Advanced Optimus tech for better battery life. Lenovo says Advanced Optimus can shift workloads between the GPU or IGP depending on real-time processing needs. This improves battery life by ensuring light workloads are handled by low-power silicon.
Full HD, 15-inch displays will be available, though Lenovo was light on other specs, such as screen refresh rate, memory, ports, and other vital details.
The Lenovo Legion 7i starts at $1,199 and the Legion 5i starts at $999. Availability is expected later this spring and will vary by region. Lenovo says more details will be available in a few weeks.

Razer is also taking advantage of the new silicon from Intel and NVIDIA to boost its gaming cred. TheRazer Blade 15gaming laptop ranges from affordable to “ouch!” and includes a dizzying array of options.
