Lenovo has announced the Lenovo Legion 5 series of gaming PCs will arrive in Malaysia starting June of 2020. The models that will reach us earlier are the Legion 5 AMD, Legion 5i, and Legion 5Pi laptops, with the Legion 7Pi laptop, Legion Tower 5i desktop, and Ideapad Legion 3i arriving at a later date.
