With Father’s Day right around the corner, it’s time to consider your gifting options. Because dads tend to teach us that it’s all about experiences over objects, why not give him the gift of endless hours of straight up fun? According to a 2020 study, 70 percent of American men enjoy playing video games. So even if your dad doesn’t admit to being a gamer, we’re pretty sure he just hasn’t discovered that side of himself yet. Which is where you come in to win the title of Best Gift-Giver this Father’s Day.

Give your dear old dad a break from his daily grind with a sweet gaming setup. The Legion Pro 5i Gen 8 gaming laptop has seriously impressive graphics and processing speeds that will give him a leg up on the competition. Here’s how:

Powerful performance for serious gamers

Performance is key when it comes to gaming. The Legion Pro 5i Gen 8 is a great portable option for gamers seeking an affordable entry to gaming, as it won’t compromise on responsiveness in keeping up with the latest games.

Graphics power is also essential for gamers. The 8th Gen Legion boasts a variable refresh rate, a 16" Wide Quad Extended Graphics Array, and IPS display resolution display that provides crisp and detailed visuals. Powered with NVIDIA® GeForce RTX™ 40 Series GPUs, gaming worlds become totally immersive and lifelike.

Gift him an escape from the daily grind

While lags and buffers might be tolerable for midday Zoom calls and poor office internet connections, it’s the difference between winning and losing when it comes to gaming. With refresh rates up to 144Hz, these Legion bad boys work with maximum efficiency, ensuring lags don’t lead to losing the battle.

We’ve all experienced the annoyance of a loudly whirring laptop fan, signaling an overheating machine. When gaming, this means having to eject from the game to reboot, which is no fun at all. Because the Legion is built specifically for gamers, it can handle even the most intense gaming sessions, making overheating a thing of the past. Thanks to its zero-throttle experience, there is no need to worry about a sluggish machine. And with Lenovo’s upgraded ColdFront 5.0 system, the Legion features stealthy 3D fan blades and an expanded intake and exhaust system that deliver cutting-edge cooling.

A laptop to conquer both work and play

After spending an entire day in an office chair, the dad in your life is probably ready to kick it on the couch and game comfortably. With an 80Wh battery, the Legion frees up gamers from being tethered to cords. And when they do need some juice, the Legion’s super-rapid charging gets players back in the game fast.

Because life can’t be all play and no work, the Legion is a great multitasking tech tool for tackling everything else, too. For dads who are frequent fliers, this laptop’s high-quality display offers crisp visuals and vivid colors for a top-notch streaming experience. And when he needs a workhorse of a laptop for demanding projects like editing high-resolution videos or creating 3D models, the Legion won’t disappoint.

Trust us on this one: the dad in your life will definitely not want to return your gift if you decide to go with the Legion Pro 5i Gen 8 gaming laptop this Father’s Day. Now you’ve got a new gaming buddy!
