Other Features
In case you didn’t already know, this latest lineup of gaming laptops is equipped with the latest Intel Core H-series processors and RTX 3000 Series GPUs, among other things.
- 11th Generation Intel Core H-Series Processors – Lenovo has decided to equip their latest lineup of gaming laptops with 11th Generation Intel Core H-Series Processors, which finally made the jump from Intel’s aging 14nm architecture down to 10nm and are relatively well-reviewed.
- NVIDIA GeForce RTX – Aside from using Intel chips, Lenovo has equipped this lineup with RTX 3000 Series GPUs, meaning you’ll be able to take in-game realism to new heights thanks to Ray Tracing 2.0!
- Lenovo Vantage – While there are a lot of gamers these days, not all of them are power users who already know what to do to optimize their machine’s performance. Lenovo Vantage makes this more accessible by allowing you to quickly optimize your settings in a jiff so you can quickly get back to gaming.
- Lenovo Q-Control – A lot of gaming laptops feature some sort of one-click optimization feature. For Lenovo, it’s the Q-Control feature that leverages the AI-driven software through Lenovo Vantage’s Legion Edge to quickly and intelligently overclock both the CPU and GPU to reduce in-game lag and improve frame rates.
- Legion AI Engine – The Legion AI Engine allows your hardware, software, firmware, and driver support to work together to help overclock performance by sharing TDP or Thermal Design Power between the CPU and GPU to more effectively manage power requirements while gaming.
If any of these laptops tickle your gaming fancy, just know that every purchase of a Legion X60 laptop will also be bundled with a Legion Active gaming backpack to accommodate your new toy. Check them out at Legion Exclusive Stores and authorized resellers, as well as on Lazada.
