Lenovo continues its momentum in the gaming segment, launching three Lenovo Legion towers and a gaming monitor at gamescom 2017. The latest gaming towers are headlined by the Lenovo Legion Y920, flanked by the Y720 and Y520. It also announced a HDR-capable, high-end 24.5-inch Full HD display—the Lenovo Legion Y25f Gaming Monitor.
As you may know, the gaming segment is a growth market for Lenovo. Despite the slowing PC market, gaming is proving to be lucrative segment for PC makers, including for Lenovo. While still a young brand, Lenovo Legion is already the #1 brand in Thailand, and is also finding some success in other countries in Southeast Asia, like Malaysia.
Lenovo reiterates that it listens to its customers, and its products, especially in the gaming line, are developed based on community feedback. What do gamers want? Speed and performance to run the most demanding AAA games.
The new line-up of Lenovo Legion gaming towers are built from ground-up to meet the demands of different types of gamers.
