Lenovo’s making inroads in a field not normally associated with the Chinese company: showier gaming computers. 

The world’s No 2 PC maker, long a specialist in workman-like computers, has over the past year touted a Legion line that’s held its own against the hyper-fast liquid-cooled machines offered by Dell Inc’s Alienware and its ilk. It’s now a US$1bil (RM3.98bil) business, helping Lenovo Group Ltd grow revenue by the fastest pace in more than two years last quarter. Its shares rose 6.9% on May 25, their biggest gain in almost two years.
