Hey, how is the keyboard temperature during silent mode gaming? Last year was way too hot (even in idle)

Thank you for this review! It helped me finally decide to pull the trigger and get the 7i

Thank you so much for reviewing the 4060, KZreadrs are alway reviewing the high end models and leave out the mid range models. Sometimes we are looking for something on the go, and dont need the review on the higher end models. Lenovo should let you keep it btw lol.

per key rgb in white chassis is looks fantastic! thats the reason I got my slim 7i though it is last year version with intel 13th gen, but i glad they bring the glacier to my country. I appreciate that they put HX processor now, but little disappointing about usb A only 5 gbps now (last year all three usb A are 10 gbps).

Great review, thank you for this! Do you think the 2025 legion series would go with Core ultra CPUs and would have 50 series GPUs?

@TechGuyBeau

They will definitely have 5000 series. As for cpu unsure. I’d suspect core ultra or new strix point AMD but hard to say

The legion 7i will come down In price, and is awesome with the 3.2k screen. The yoga has slightly better speakers too but the legion has a bit more raw power. It’s a though one.

I had purchased this device from Best Buy about 2 weeks ago. It was great...to a point. My device could not sit on my desk mat or it would heat up and throttle. When I removed the mat from my desk and sat the device on the desk, it stayed fairly cool. I could have it on my lap while sitting, watching TV, but the device would throttle. Also, the case made a creaking noise when opening and closing. I took the laptop back for the case noise. To be fair, if Best Buy had another in stock, I would have just exchange the device. I ended up purchasing a Legion Pro 7i directly from Lenovo. It has been great thus far.

Just wow. This laptop checks all my boxes. Bright screen, high resolution, reasonably sized power brick, upgradeable RAM, two NVME slots, USB-C charging, good gaming GPU & CPU, reasonably quiet. It might be the first laptop I would buy that was not on sale.

This review came at the perfect time. I'm deciding between the Pro 5i and 7i. If my focus was pure power and performance, which one would you suggest I go for. I plan to use it for rendering in blender and video editing in Da Vinci resolve. I'm leaning towards the Pro 5i since it has a higher TDP. But the plastic build and lack of Thunderbolt kinda sucks.

Battery life isn’t great on the hx chips yeah You can help it a lot by disabling a lot of startup apps, I recommend NOT using GeForce experience. Dynamic resolution switch in display mode helps too a lot. Windows is a hog and will keep waking up the system One other thing: I HIGHLY recommend going into “gaming” settings and telling it which apps to use the iGPU specifically. Windows will constantly wake up the rtx graphics for no reason. This is especially true in internet browsers. Set your browser to specifically use the iGPU and watch your battery life go way up

I don’t notice any. Also do you game on performant mode? I usually recommend not doing that on really any laptop these days

@@sethterwilliger9434 Everyone is different so I think you need to see for yourself if it stutters or not and if so, if it bothers you. I've watched review videos where the reviewer was going on and on (and on...) about how bad the stuttering was on a particular laptop and I didn't notice anything while watching the same video of the game. And if there where a bit of stuttering that I noticed, it didn't bother me at all. Guess I'm just not sensitive to things like that.

I hesitate between this one and... MSI Vector 16. Actually after CES I was pretty sure I will choose Lenovo when it finally came out, but now I'm leaning towards Vector. Pretty good price, promising review on Notebookcheck and surprisingly good screen.

The vector is nice, but the higher resolution screen is a must.

Make sure you have Lenovo vantage installed. You can also download the fn+q software directly from Lenovo on their driver page for your laptop

I need to upgrade my Laptop from my 2020 Rog Strix G 15. I have three laptops in mind 1. Zephyrus G 14 - Maxed out RTX 4070. 2. Alienware M 16 R2 - Maxed out RTX 4070 3. Lenovo LEgion 7i - Maxed out RTX 4070. Now I don't wanna go above RTX 4070 because of my budget and yes screen size is okay with me in any of the three. Which one is the best option for gaming and working?

The g14 is overpriced. Only consider that if you absolutely need a 14”. The Alienware is really nice, a bit thicker but it has great performance . The legion 7i is the perfect all rounder, being thin, all metal, and not sacrificing performance. My advice would be the legion as I prefer multi use hybrid laptops with more premium features. Also consider that Lenovo will have the best sale prices of these.

@@TechGuyBeau Thanks for the help man. Myfirst gaming laptop was an HP and the second one was an ROG Strix. Personally I prefered the G 14 cause of Rog but yes I'll give Legion a shot now.

The 4090 refurbs for the legion pro 7 with the 13900HX are at about 2149$ USD , snagged a new 4080 model from ant-online , however kinda wishing I waited a month to see the sale 😅 but that 4080 will be WAAAAY MORE than enough for me I’m sure. I shouldn’t complain and I’m thankful I could afford one finally 💪🤓

Can you do a review of thinkbook 16p gen 5? I think it is better than Legion!

If you are in balanced or silent the speakers are vastly louder than the fans. I have a full gaming video coming where I test several demanding titles. Stay tuned for that

Performance is great but I am facing a issue with mine i9 14hx rtx 4060. while scaling the display from 200% to 225% it automatically changes to 200% each time after restarting the PC. Can anyone help?

That could be nvidia driver issues. They aren’t great. I’d recommend trying studio drivers

What is the difference between legion pro 5i and 7i ( both 2024) they are nearly identical but the 7i is a little bit expensive 😅
