“The latest wave of Lenovo Legion PCs has made landfall, equipping gamers with a smarter class of gear from our unique brand of uncompromised engineering and industrial design, and delivering the edge needed to dominate today’s virtual battle arenas and esports stadiums,” the Lenovo announcement notes. “Representing a leap in the modern gameplay experience, the new Lenovo Legion generation is now fitted with gamer-inspired improvements such as our beloved keyboard technologies now in the Lenovo Legion TrueStrike keyboard; the advanced thermal efficiencies of Lenovo Legion Coldfront 2.0; battery lifespans that have been extended via Hybrid Mode, Nvidia Advanced Optimus and Rapid Charge Pro14; as well as the world-class immersive displays optimized by Dolby Vision and OverDrive Support with optional 240Hz refresh rates for near-instantaneous in-game responses at under 1ms.”

    <p>Nice! They fixed the keyboard on the Legion laptops. The previous generation, which I have, has a number pad that is positioned in the wrong place with an odd size and feel, and the lack of dedicated Home, Page Up, Page Down, and End keys just does not lend itself to gaming PCs. Unfortunately, I need to get another few years out of this laptop because I got it on Black Friday.</p>
