Lenovo has launched two new gaming laptops as part of its legion of products. The Legion Y740 and Legion Y540 were both showcased at CES 2019 earlier this year alongside a slew of Legion-branded devices including monitors as well as gaming accessories.

That's why our Legion portfolio, co-designed with gamers, is designed to look just as big in the living room as it does in the boardroom,” said Shelinder Katyal, Executive Director, Consumer Website pcsd, Lenovo India.
