As someone who recently just ‘ascended’ into PC Gaming with his own Lenovo Legion Gaming Laptop, it amazes me to see how much power a laptop can offer. Seeing AAA games, often time running better than the console counterparts, on my gaming laptop will always impress me.

And the fact this OMEN MAX 16 Gaming Laptop promises to offer power levels easily on par, if not better, than what the current generation of consoles offer, is insanely impressive.
