Video games these days are getting more and more powerful as graphics and gameplay become more advance with every new release, so to keep up with them, gamers must be equipped with stronger or equally strong gears to play and immerse themselves in the worlds, the action, and the experience. In response to the ever-evolving video games and the gamers' demands, Lenovo developed a new line of its gaming PCs called the Lenovo Legion, and it has finally reached the Philippines!

One of the products introduced within the Lenovo Legion line is the Y520 laptop. It's an entry-level gaming laptop with the built-in seventh-generation Intel Core i7 processor and NVIDIA GTX 1050/1050Ti video card for fast and strong performance and in clear 1080p or 1440p display. Harman speakers are installed for the optimal sound quality enhanced by Dolby Premium technology. It also runs with the Windows 10 Home operating system (OS).

One unique feature the Y520 laptop has is the Nerve Sense; it allows the user to adjust settings like keyboard lighting, active keys during gameplay, and sound with ease. Extreme Cooling and Network Priority features are also created in the Nerve Sense for simpler modifications in the laptop's cooling systems and network settings.

If you're a streamer, here's a good news: the Nerve Sense can also be used to hold livestream gaming sessions, and it also lets you integrate the livestream into your social media accounts or record your gameplay, especially if you're working on a highlight reel or a “greatest hits,” “kills,” or “plays” compilation.

However, if you're looking for a new laptop that's virtual reality-ready, here's the Ideapad Y910. It's built with the latest sixth-generation Intel Core i7-6820HK processor that runs with Windows 10 Home. The NVIDIA GeForce GTX1080M discrete graphics card is also installed for smoother and sharper graphics, making the laptop capable of a 4K resolution display.

Now, this one is a game-changer. The IdeaCentre Y710 Cube is a compact virtual reality-ready gaming PC with the latest sixth-generation Intel Core i7 Processor that runs with Windows 10 Home and memory reaching up to 16GB DDR4, making multitasking, even editing videos and photos with multiple applications open, in this beast a piece of cake. NVIDIA's flagship GeForce GTX 1080 graphical processing unit powering the Y710 Cube enables the machine to allow 4K resolution in gaming for the oh so crisp clarity.

Its size may conceal the strength it holds, but its look screams for power and sophistication with the case wrapped in shades of matte grey plastic and the three-pronged front edge that glows in red LED lights.

The Y710 Cube's carrying handle enables you to take the machine anywhere, making that overnight gaming session with friends possible and finally easier, and if you're worried about how heavy it is, it's only 7.4 kilograms.

If you have an Xbox One controller, it will definitely be useful here because the Y710 Cube has a built-in receiver through Xbox Wireless to make the switch from keyboard and mouse to controller with ease; you'll really love that kind of set-up especially during intense matches and shootouts in your favorite games.
