Lenovo is refreshing its IdeaPad and Legion gaming laptop line today, along with the announcement of a new Flex 2-in-1. Three new IdeaPads are being released this June — the 720S, 320S, and the 320. They stand out more than anything else because they’re being released in real, non-generic laptop colors. They’ll probably appeal to college kids. I embedded a photo of the purple 15-inch 320 IdeaPad above, but it’s also available in a red, white, silver, blue, and black. The 15-inch 320 starts at $439.99 while the 17-inch starts at $489.99. It can include up to a 7th generation Intel Core i7 processor and up to 2TB of HDD storage with 16GB of memory.

The most expensive of the IdeaPads announced today is the 14-inch 720S. The S stands for slim, by the way. It starts at $969.99 and can include up to a 7th generation Intel Core i7 processor, 512GB of storage, 16GB of memory, a Full HD (1920x1080) non-touch screen, and USB-C with Thunderbolt. It also weighs less than three and a half pounds. Unfortunately, that laptop only comes in a lame silver or gold, which is unfortunate for anyone who likes fun. The keyboard design looks nice, however, and simple.

As I mentioned, Lenovo’s also releasing another gaming laptop in its Legion line. The Y920 is VR-ready, includes a 17-inch, Full HD (1920x1080) display, a Nvidia GTX 1070 GPU, 16GB of memory, 512GB of storage, a seventh generation Intel Core i7 processor, and a mechanical keyboard with RGB lighting. It starts at $2,699.99.

Finally, Lenovo also has a new 2-in-1. The Flex 5 starts at $719.99 and can include up to a seventh generation Intel Core i7 processor, 16GB of memory, 512GB of storage, and, depending on the size, an Ultra HD (3840x2160) IPS display with pen support. All these devices run Windows 10. The laptops will be available in June while the Flex goes on sale some time this month.
