This comes after a couple of launches by other laptop makers like Asus, Acer and HP and now the Legion 5 will try and make a mark with up to Ryzen 7 processors. The company has been teasing the Legion 5 from a while now and we also spotted a listing for the Legion 5 on Amazon India. This indicates that the Legion 5 will likely sell on Amazon India at launch.
The past couple of weeks have seen numerous laptop launches in India such as the updated Asus ZenBook and VivoBook lineups and HP Omen and Pavilion Gaming series, to name a few. The Legion 5 was announced globally on July 16 alongside the Lenovo Legion 5P and IdeaPad Gaming 3 laptops.
