Lenovo introduces Lenovo LOQ Gaming, Slim line Laptops and Tower PC for New Gamers
Lenovo announced the latest 8th generation of Lenovo Legion Slim laptops, allowing gamers to harness the freedom that the newest series has to offer. The Lenovo Legion Slim series is all about empowering players to crush their gaming goals while also pursuing their creative passions, and there are more options than ever among the new Lenovo Legion Slim 7i and 7 (16”, 8), Lenovo Legion Slim 5i and 5 (16”, 8), and—an all-new size for this year—the Lenovo Legion Slim 5 (14”, 8), which elevates laptop power and portability to a whole new level. This newest generation of the series is also the first to sport the Lenovo Artificial Intelligence (LA) family of chips. These are onboard physical AI chips that power Lenovo AI Engine+, which dynamically adjusts the Lenovo Legion ColdFront 5.0 thermals to optimize cooling on the fly and maintain maximum output with minimal noise.
Lenovo Legion Slim series laptops are designed to meet the multi-faceted needs of gamers, with an SD slot, rapid charging battery technology1 Windows 11, three months of free Xbox Game Pass Ultimate2,3, as well as access to Nahimic by SteelSeries 3D immersive audio, and Lenovo Vantage helping users get the most out of their machines. Offering peace of mind, Lenovo’s Legion Ultimate Support service is available with round-the-clock tech support, guidance4 and assistance so gamers don’t have to miss a beat, and with Legion Arena, users can create their ultimate gaming hub with all their titles accessible in one place rather than having to switch between apps. Additionally, gamers looking to expand their horizons—literally—can look forward to the new Lenovo Legion R45w-30 44.5” 32:9 ultrawide curved display and the new Lenovo Legion Y34wz-30 Gaming Monitor that delivers extreme clarity and vivid color with its 34-inch mini-LED backlit panel.
“Lenovo has always believed in empowering gamers with the flexibility to choose the right machine for their gaming performance and lifestyle,” said Jun Ouyang, Lenovo’s vice president and general manager of the Consumer Business Segment, Intelligent Devices Group. “The new Lenovo Legion Slim Series of gaming laptops, along with the Lenovo Legion Pro Series, Legion Towers, and Lenovo LOQ gaming devices, fills out our gaming portfolio with customizable options that cater to players with a wide range of gaming goals.”
The Lenovo Legion Slim 7i and 7 (16”, 8): The World’s Most Agile 16-inch AI-Tuned Gaming Laptops 5
The latest 8th gen Lenovo Legion Slim 7 series is designed to answer the demands of the gamer who needs a laptop that can run AAA titles with ease while still being agile enough to handle other tasks such as streaming, content creation, or work computing. Available with Windows 11 and up to a 13th Gen Intel® Core™ i9-13900H processor in the Lenovo Legion Slim 7i or up to an AMD Ryzen™ 9 7940HS processor in the Lenovo Legion Slim 7, both have up to an NVIDIA® GeForce RTX™ 4070 GPU and up to 32GB of 5600MHz DDR5 RAM that bring worlds both created and explored to crisp, vibrant life on their 16-inch 16:10 Lenovo PureSight gaming display. With up to a WQXGA 240Hz VRR 500nit panel for those who value speedy response times in their gaming sessions, or a 3.2K 165Hz VRR 430nit with 100% DCI-P3 panel for creators who require the highest resolutions and color gamut for their workflow, the Lenovo PureSight gaming display options can meet the user’s most exacting requirements.
The laptops are built to stay cool even under heavy load, thanks to Lenovo Legion’s ColdFront 5.0 advanced thermal system, featuring quad copper hybrid heat pipes, phase-change thermal compound, and a brand-new air intake and 90-blade fan system – resulting in just 48dB of fan noise in performance mode. The thermals are pushed even farther thanks to the onboard Lenovo LA AI chip, which dynamically tunes thermal performance to maximize framerates and minimize noise, allowing the Lenovo Legion Slim 7i and 7 to reach up to 140W TDP.
The 99.99Whr battery—the largest allowed in the internal cabin of most airplanes —allows users to work uninterrupted when inspiration hits with up to 10 hours of battery.1 While Super Rapid Charge provides a full charge in as little as 80 minutes1,6 via a 230W Slim Adapter, both USB-C® ports support 140W charging as well as DisplayPort™ 1.4. Wi-Fi 77 is supported thanks to the Filogic 380 Wi-Fi 7 card by MediaTek, making the Lenovo Legion Slim 7 series one of the world’s first Wi-Fi 7 enabled laptops and engineered so that slow internet speeds won’t be a bottleneck to success.
The full-sized Lenovo Legion TrueStrike keyboard has a full numpad, large arrow keys, and 1.5mm key travel designed for smooth typing over long sessions. The keyboard is customizable both with interchangeable WASD keycaps as well as via Lenovo Legion Spectrum per-key RGB lighting and is also available with a white backlight for those looking for a more understated aesthetic. All this computing power is housed in a slim (as slim as 17.99mm at its thinnest point) all-metal chassis available in Storm Grey or Glacier White8, and weighs in at under 2kg (4.4lbs), making the Lenovo Legion Slim 7i and 7 the most agile Lenovo Legion Slim laptops ever.
Lenovo Legion Slim 5i and 5 (16”, 8): The World’s Most Portable 16-inch AI-Tuned Gaming Laptops5
Lenovo Legion believes in empowering gamers with more choice and flexibility, and this is most visible on the new 8th gen additions to the Legion portfolio—the Lenovo Legion Slim 5i and 5. Choices begin at laptop size: the Lenovo Legion Slim 5 and 5i are available in 16-inch, and there’s even a 14-inch Lenovo Legion Slim 5 which sports an OLED panel.1,2
The Lenovo Legion Slim 5i is available with up to a 13th Gen Intel Core i7-13700H processor, while the Lenovo Legion Slim 5 is available with up to an AMD Ryzen 9 7840HS processor. Both models are available with up to an NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 Laptop GPU. Legion ColdFront 5.0 keeps gaming sessions cool and quiet while helping to prevent throttling, with its larger hybrid copper heat pipes and fins, phase change thermal compound, increased air intakes and exhaust, as well as a turbocharged 12V dual liquid polymer fan system.
Also onboard is the LA1 AI chip that powers Lenovo AI Engine+, controlling the thermals to dynamically allocate wattage between CPU and GPU to optimize performance and help minimize fan noise. The LA chip paired with high output GPU options like the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 Laptop GPU lets the Lenovo Legion Slim 5i put out up to 160W TDP, perfect for the gamer who is unwilling to sacrifice power in the heat of battle. Lower output GPU options are also available that thin out the laptop chassis to a sleek (as thin as 19.7mm/0.86in at its thinnest point) for gamers who want a laptop that, at as light as 2.3kg (5.07lbs), is as portable as it is powerful. All Lenovo Legion Slim 5 series laptops can be configured with up to 32GB of 5600Mhz DDR5 RAM and expandable up to 64GB aftermarket. Under the metal lid, the 16-inch WQXGA 16:10 500nit Lenovo PureSight gaming display panel with up to 240Hz VRR lets the full graphical power and speed of the internals bring games to life.
The up to 80Wh battery offers up to 8 hours1 of battery life and supports Super Rapid Charge6, which means less time charging and more time on the go. And with a USB-C port that supports 140W charging, feel free to leave the Slim charging brick at home for even more portability. The full-sized Legion TrueStrike keyboard is customizable with replaceable WASD keycaps as well as Legion Spectrum 4-zone RGB lighting, adding a striking splash of eye-catching flair to the Storm Grey8 or Misty Grey chassis8. An all-white backlit keyboard8 is available for a stealthier look.
Gaming Displays that Double as Productivity Workhorses in a Hybrid Working World
Lenovo Legion’s newest pair of gaming displays offer two ultra-wide visuals for immersive gaming. When it’s time to switch from gaming to productivity, both the Lenovo Legion Y34wz-30 and R45w-30 Gaming Monitors offer the multi-tasking flexibility of PIP/PBP, KVM, as well as Lenovo’s True Split technology, which allows the display to be partitioned into two discrete monitors with just one input cable. An onboard high speed 2.5G RJ45 input on both monitors provides stronger, smoother, and more stable connections during competitive gaming sessions and meetings. Both displays are compatible with Lenovo’s Artery software which offers gamers advanced functions to tweak their displays exactly, as well as gaming tools that give gamers an extra edge when gaming.
Gamers who demand accurate color, contrast, and speed, need look no further than the new Lenovo Legion Y34wz-30 Gaming Monitor. The 34-inch ultra-wide WQHD curved mini-LED DisplayHDR 1000 panel delivers lifelike contrast between deep shadows and crisp brightness. With 125% sRGB, 95% DCI-P3 10bit color depth, and Delta E<2 color accuracy, the only thing blurry about the Y34wz-30 is the line between virtual and reality. The 180Hz (overclocked) refresh rate and 1ms MPRT response time mean uncompromisingly smooth gaming. The Lenovo Legion Y34wz-30 also supports 140W of power via USB-C, supplying power to laptops or other devices, as well as HDMI 2.1, DisplayPort 1.4, and a USB hub to support a whole host of connections.
The new Lenovo Legion R45w-30 Gaming Monitor—Lenovo’s newest 44.5-inch 32:9 widescreen monitor—is a great choice for gamers and creators looking for extra screen real estate to fully immerse themselves both in their games and their workflows. The 120% sRGB, 115% DCI-P3 display peaks at 500nits brightness, and its 165Hz refresh rate is overclockable to 170Hz, translating to a smoother, more encapsulating gaming experience. The 1ms MPRT response times ensure that fast-twitch games feel natural and effortless. Support for AMD FreeSync® Premium Pro, and New Adaptive Sync minimizes screen tearing while maximizing HDR, translating to a truly immersive gaming experience. The Lenovo Legion R45w-30 supports USB-C gen 2 with 75W of smart power, HDMI 2.1, DisplayPort 1.4, and has a USB hub and audio out ports to support any configuration of accessories.

Gaming doesn’t have to be enjoyed only on a high-end gaming PC. Announced today, Lenovo LOQ—pronounced “lock”— lets new gamers set out on the first steps of their gaming journeys, allowing them to explore new virtual worlds and connect with new real-world communities with gaming devices that are packed with features without breaking the bank. Offering plenty of choice, the brand-new lineup of Lenovo LOQ gaming laptops include the Intel-based Lenovo LOQ 16IRH8 and Lenovo LOQ 15IRH8 laptops as well as the Lenovo LOQ Tower 17IRB8 desktop PC, and the AMD-based Lenovo LOQ 16APH8 and Lenovo LOQ 15APH8 laptops. Inspired by Lenovo’s premium Legion-branded gaming line-up, the new Lenovo LOQ line encompasses more than just design features such as the rear I/O notch on its laptops and the shared stylized ‘O’ in both brands’ logos. The two sub-brands are complementary in catering to a wider gaming community, including beginner gamers setting off on their gaming paths to greatness with Lenovo LOQ as well as those leveling up to Lenovo Legion devices to compete against more advanced opponents.
“With the launch of the new Lenovo LOQ brand, we’re building a lineage of gaming excellence and PC offerings that are not just for the gaming community’s top players, but for new and future gamers alike,” said Jun Ouyang, Lenovo’s vice president and general manager of the Consumer Business Segment, Intelligent Devices Group. “Lenovo LOQ breaks down barriers to entry for gamers, empowering them to embark on adventures of connection and fun in the gaming world.”
Lenovo LOQ gaming laptops—Blaze new in-game trails while forging real-world connections
New gamers will enjoy lots of choice with the Lenovo LOQ gaming portfolio, no matter the screen size (15-inch or 16-inch), the processor (up to a 13th Gen Intel Core or AMD Ryzen 7000 Series CPU), or graphics (NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4060 Laptop GPU). Lenovo LOQ gaming laptops with NVIDIA GPUs feature a MUX switch that enables the integrated GPU to be bypassed via NVIDIA Advanced Optimus during gaming sessions. This allows the NVIDIA graphics cards to interface directly with the display and result in higher frames-per-second with reduced latency, so that games run smoother and look even better. When not gaming, the MUX Switch allows the laptop to use the integrated graphics, optimizing battery life.
These powerful internals are kept cool via up to four heat pipes, dual 85mm 12V high-speed fans, and extra-large air intakes and outlets that total up to 135W TDP while keeping the laptop cool and quiet enough for a library or coworking space. When it’s time to game, worlds come to life on the up to 16-inch 350 nit 16:10 WQXGA 165Hz VRR display available1 on the Lenovo LOQ 16IRH8 and Lenovo LOQ 16APH8, while the Lenovo LOQ 15IRH8 and Lenovo LOQ 15APH8 sport up to a 15-inch 350 nit 16:9 WQHD 165Hz VRR display1. Both displays also support NVIDIA G-SYNC, which immerses the gamer into a world with vibrant colors, crisp contrast, and a quick refresh rate that makes every movement and action feel seamless.
The onboard Lenovo LA AI Chip on all Lenovo LOQ laptops—the same one that can be found in Lenovo Legion laptops—powers Lenovo AI Engine+ to dynamically tune wattage and thermal performance, optimizing in-game framerates. It even leverages machine learning to analyze usage habits to further improve gaming performance over time.
All Lenovo LOQ laptops are available with up to 16GB 5600MHz DDR5 RAM and support up to 32GB storage, and up to a 1TB PCIe® SSD (sold separately).2All its laptops are future-proof with two slots for RAM and two PCIe slots for expanded RAM and storage down the line.
The 16-inch Lenovo LOQ gaming laptops have up to an 80Whr battery for up to 7 hours of battery3 that supports Super Rapid Charge Pro4 for faster charging and longer battery life when out and about. Meanwhile the 15-inch Lenovo LOQ laptops have a 60Whr battery for up to 6 hours of battery3 with up to Super Rapid Charge5 support. All laptops have a USB-C® port that supports 140W charging for added on-the-go portability.
Both the 15-inch and 16-inch Lenovo LOQ laptops feature a full-sized signature Lenovo gaming keyboard with numpad features, a 1.5mm key travel, 100% anti-ghosting technology for lightning-fast actuation and precision control, and optional 4-zone RGB backlighting. Everything is housed in a tough polymer blue-accented Storm Grey1 chassis tested to MIL-STD 810H6 standards with the striking new Lenovo LOQ logo displayed prominently on the laptop lid.
A Tower that’s all wheat and no chaff—The Lenovo LOQ Tower 17IRB8
The Lenovo LOQ Tower is the obvious choice for beginner gamers who want a desktop PC that can play great out of the gate, with future-proof expandability and bold aesthetics. The front of the spacious 17L chassis’ blue-accented 2D and 3D striped patterns are a nod to the Lenovo Legion gaming pedigree that not only look sharp, but also provide increased ventilation that allow the up to 13th Gen Intel Core i7-13700 CPU and up to the latest NVIDIA RTX 40-Series GPUs to breathe during heavy gaming sessions. Memory is expandable up to 32GB 3200MHz DDR4 RAM, and expansive storage options abound with up to a 2TB 3.5” 7200RPM SATA HDD2, a 1TB PCIe NVMe™ TLC M.2 2280 SSD2, and support for up to 1 SSD and 2 HDD (each, sold separately). Connect to the net with Wi-Fi 6e7 or via the 2.5Ghz LAN port. The Lenovo LOQ Tower 17IRB8 packs competitive hardware into a handsome chassis that allows for room to grow with the gamer.
Just like their Lenovo Legion siblings, all Lenovo LOQ devices come with Windows 11 as well as 3 free months of Xbox Game Pass Ultimate8,9 so new gamers can get their new PCs set up and dive straight into gaming. With Lenovo’s Legion Arena app, users can save all their favorite games across gaming platforms in one central library for easy access and quick launches. Lenovo Vantage is also included, offering customization and adjustments to maximize device performance through the all-in-one suite of tools, including overclocking controls, AI-performance tuning, and a real-time performance dashboard. Nahimic by SteelSeries’ 3D audio and simple mixing and audio streaming controls translate to crystal clear communication between teammates during gameplay. Every Lenovo LOQ device also qualifies for Lenovo’s Premium Care10, the advanced support service that provides personalized hardware and software assistance from expert technicians with fast repairs when needed.
