There is a range of new Lenovo Legion gaming notebooks and hardware coming your way later this year. This includes a new 24.5-inch 360Hz gaming monitor that combines NVIDIA G-Sync and NVIDIA Reflex. There are also new gaming notebooks that include new 15-inch, 16-inch and 17-inch models. All three pack new RTX 30-series GPUs alongside Intel Core-i7 and Core-i5 11th-Gen CPUs.
Lenovo calls these new notebooks the Lenovo Legion 7i and Lenovo Legion 5i. Of course, the 7i is the top-of-the-range notebook that comes in the new 16-inch 16:10 display. The 5i packs a 15-inch or 17-inch display.
