Lenovo has made sure that on its newest lineup of gaming PCs, it would give what the games truly want. The giant PC maker has disclosed that prior to the development of new computing machines for Lenovo Legion, it has conducted a survey with thousands of global players as respondents to better understand what they prefer in their PCs.
The company found that almost half of those gamers had revealed that they also use their gaming PCs for their daily computing requirements. Thus, Lenovo Legion aimed to come up with new PCs with better graphics, memory options, and processors—three factors that are on most gamers’ must-have lists.
Based on the same study, Lenovo concluded that how users game, with whom, on how many devices, and for how long all have heavier bearings when choosing a PC. When they manage to enjoy some hardcore gaming time with friends, it is important that the experience in those precious moments blows them away.
“Gamers today seek the perfect balance of work and play in their lives,” said Lenovo’s Asia-Pacific Gaming Lead Ian Tan. “Lenovo Legion’s latest lineup was developed to meet their demands for stylish machines that have great performance for every scenario. Our innovators such as Lenovo Legion Coldfront 2.0, and TrueStrike keyboards offer superior thermals and typing comfort, further elevating the gaming experience for everyone.”
Lenovo also aims to develop the Philippine gaming scene through its new Legion lineup. According to Lenovo Philippines General Manager and President Michael Ngan, the newest Legion lineup of PCs are aimed at arming local gamers with the devices that they need to play the latest and greatest games so they can flourish as eSports professionals locally and internationally.
“When we started Legion in the market in 2017, we also took it upon ourselves to bolster the local gaming community,” Ngan said. “There are so many competitive titles out there where our players can shine but don’t simply because they lack the necessary gear to handle them. That’s where our new Legion lineup and services come in.”
