Is there a story behind the name Legion? Seems like a strange choice for gaming hardware.

https://www.lenovo.com/de/de/legion/ - sorry for german link, but I am lazy. Their gaming-laptops are known as legion.

Yeah, I meant why their gaming line is called Legion. Is there some gaming related meaning to it. Just seems like a strange choice.

Sounds super gamery to have a "Legion" of gamers.

Are there any gamer brands that aren't at least somewhat cringey soundy? Republic of Gamers is the biggest to come to mind. This is a laptop bought from best buy, not some nation state.

Steam? Their naming conventions are usually pretty to-the-point. Steam Link, Steam OS, Steam controller, Steam Deck.

Yeah ROG and Ally are also kind of odd too. The console side of gaming seems to have much stronger branding.
