I. Lenovo Legion Coldfront 2.0
Gamers can extract maximum performance from their rigs through the next-generation thermal efficiencies of Lenovo Legion Coldfront 2.0. This is the synergy of hardware and software that promotes better airflow, lower system temperatures to keep your Lenovo Legion laptop cool and quiet.
Lenovo Legion Coldfront 2.0 features Dual Burn, which pushes the CPU and GPU to their in-game limits so that gamers can experience more predictable FPS (frames per second) without thermal throttling.
In the past, gaming laptop processors would slow down (thermal throttling) as temperatures rose and framerates would be unpredictable.
Meanwhile, the Lenovo Legion devices stay cool to the touch via an optimized cooling system of heat sinks that dissipate more heat away from the motherboard.
Also integrated into the Lenovo Legion 7i and Lenovo Legion Y740Si are Vapor Chamber Cooling Systems to dispel heat as dual liquid crystal polymer fan systems cycle air with chilling efficiency.
Finally, a multipoint sensor array works to cool down key components in anticipation of intense gameplay.
II. Lenovo Legion TrueStrike Keyboard
Inspired by Lenovo’s heritage in innovative keyboard technologies, the Lenovo Legion TrueStrike keyboard is precision-crafted to deliver 100 percent anti-ghosting, sub-millisecond response times, and ‘soft-landing’ switches resulting in hair-trigger accuracy.
You can feel a more tactile gaming experience due to its superior key travel via its second transition curve design.
The keyboard layout is ideal for gaming with full-sized keys and number pad, larger one-piece trackpad, arrow keys plus dedicated media keys that will illuminate in over 16 million colors with Corsair iCUE support on the Lenovo Legion 7i, and optional 4-zone RGB lighting on the other new Lenovo Legion laptop models.
Built to withstand heavy long-term use, Lenovo Legion TrueStrike keyboards feature an anti-oil coating to resist abrasion.
III. Improved Battery Life
Lenovo Legion gaming PCs will be first to feature the new Advanced Optimus[2] designed in collaboration with NVIDIA to boost battery life.
Advanced Optimus dynamically switches between the use of the Integrated Graphic Processing Unit (found on the CPU) for more battery life, to the discrete NVIDIA GPU for higher frames per second. All this happens without a need to reboot the machine.
If gamers want to manually disable their discrete GPU for a longer battery life, they can do so using Lenovo Vantage software’s Hybrid Mode.
Lenovo Q-Control 3.0 also lets users switch between three settings for system voltage and fan speeds – Performance, Quiet, and Balanced.
Upshift to Performance Mode to turbo-charge past the competition with higher CPU voltage and higher FPS. When streaming esports, downshift into Quiet Mode to lower battery drain and fan noise. Or enable Balanced Mode for automatic adjustments based on which apps are open.
Other power-enhancing features include Rapid Charge Pro[3] (from 0 to 50 percent battery in 30 minutes) and battery sip feature (instinctively releases power in small doses for more battery life consistency).
IV. Brilliant Displays
Lenovo Legion makes the most of your display panel’s capabilities through Dolby Vision which offers deeper blacks and brighter whites without washing out color or contrast.
Lenovo Legion laptops offer panels of up to 240hz refresh rates at under 1ms response times for ultra-smooth cinematics without screen tearing.
The new Lenovo Legion laptops offer High Dynamic Range (HDR) on select panels with at least 300nits of brightness, so that dramatic shadowed scenes with high levels of black tones are reproduced vividly with more depth; 100 percent sRGB color accurate panels also offer life-like visuals.
V. The Industry’s PC Leader5
With innovations such as Lenovo Legion Coldfront 2.0 and Lenovo Legion TrueStrike keyboards, Lenovo delivers a level of performance that keeps it the industry’s PC leader[4].
These new Lenovo Legion laptops plus the refreshed Lenovo Legion Y740Si laptop offer up to the latest 10th Gen Intel Core H-Series mobile processors for powerful performance.
And for the first time in our gaming lineup, players can also opt for premium, high-performance AMD Ryzen 4000 H-Series Mobile Processors in the Lenovo Legion 5.
The Lenovo Legion 7i is the premium 15” gaming laptop that delivers unbridled performance for the most demanding users.
Featuring an all-metal exterior and available in a sleek Slate Grey hue and stylish RGB lighting accents along the base and through the cooling vents, this 2.2kg laptop packs serious punch. It is fitted with up to 10th Gen Intel Core i9 H-Series overclocked mobile processors and advanced thermal management.
Lenovo Legion Coldfront 2.0 boosts performance of the Lenovo Legion 7i with its integrated Vapor Chamber and thermal sensor array. A dual fan system of 73 liquid-crystal polymer fan blades enhances four dedicated thermal channels to cycle air at top speeds.
The 6-point thermal sensor array rapidly predicts incoming thermal requirements to cool key components in advance for quieter and better performing gaming sessions. Dual Burn also pushes the CPU and GPU together for max performance in-game.
The Lenovo Legion TrueStrike keyboard has 100 percent anti-ghosting, sub-millisecond response times, and soft-landing switches for hair-trigger accuracy. You also get the feel of superior key travel via its second transition curve design, allowing a more tactile gaming experience. Its keys are each illuminated in over 16 million color combinations with Corsair® iCUE® system lighting.
Keyboards on all Lenovo Legion laptops are coated to resist abrasion and the wear-and-tear from oily fingertips. They also feature full-sized keys and a number pad, plus a larger one-piece trackpad, full-sized arrow keys, and dedicated media keys.
Multitasking, streaming, and content creation are made easier with ample storage of up to 2TB NVMe PCIe SSD[5] and up to 32GB DDR4 memory.
The 15-inch Lenovo Legion 7i laptop is priced from PHP 119,995 and will be available by June 2020.
