“Can someone explain to me why the battery life is so little on these new machines? Why no Intel ultra chips when other new lenovo models have them?”

• Hi, we'll take a crack at it. There are a few major factors that affect battery life, with one of them being the idle power draw of the HX CPU vs the Core Ultra H CPUs. The i7 HX CPU in this model has 20 cores vs 16 cores on the Core Ultra 7. The HX CPU is focused entirely on performance for tasks like gaming or intense software usage while the Core Ultra 7 is focused more on battery life. The Legion 7i is designed to be portable, but at its core is a gaming first device and prioritizes performance first. This, along with another factor like heightened graphics performance with an RTX 4060, having a TGP of 115W, when under heavy loads like gaming, can create a big power draw from the battery to maintain performance.
