Lenovo Legion is a line of consumer-oriented laptops, desktop computers, smartphone, and tablet computers designed, developed and marketed by Lenovo, targeting gaming performance. The first Legion brand laptops, the Legion Y520 and the Legion Y720, were revealed at CES 2017 and succeeded the IdeaPad Y series.[1] On June 6, 2017, a high-performance model, the Legion Y920, equipped with Intel's seventh-generation quad-core i7-7820HK and Nvidia GTX 1070 discrete graphics, was launched.[2][3]

The line is positioned above LOQ and currently competes against other high-end gaming PCs such as HP's Omen, Acer's Predator, Asus' ROG and Dell's Alienware subsidiary.

At E3 2018, Lenovo announced three new laptops with new redesigned chassis, Y530, Y730 and Y7000.[4]

In 2019, Lenovo introduced the Legion Y540, Y740 with the new GeForce 20 series.

In 2020, Lenovo launched the Legion 5 and 7 laptops.[5]

In September 2023, Lenovo introduced their new top-of-the-line flagship model, the Legion 9i, with the first-ever self-contained liquid-cooling system inside a laptop.[6]
