A Perfect Blend of Power, Style, and Performance

I’ve been using the Lenovo Legion 7i (16”, Glacier White) for a few weeks now, and I’m seriously impressed. The design is clean and modern, and the Glacier White color gives it a premium feel that stands out in the sea of dark-colored gaming laptops.
Performance-wise, this thing is a powerhouse. The Intel 14th Gen Core i7 and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4060 handle every game I’ve thrown at it without breaking a sweat. Even on higher settings, the gameplay is smooth, and the laptop stays surprisingly cool, thanks to the excellent cooling system.
The 16” WQXGA screen is a highlight—crisp visuals, vibrant colors, and a great refresh rate. Whether I’m gaming, editing videos, or just streaming movies, everything looks fantastic. The 16GB of memory and 1TB SSD are perfect for multitasking and storing a ton of games and files, with super-fast load times.
If I had to nitpick, it’s a bit on the heavier side, but that’s to be expected with this level of performance. Overall, it’s one of the best gaming laptops I’ve used, and I’d absolutely recommend it to anyone looking for a solid mix of performance, style, and reliability.

Hey, KatieW, thank you for choosing Lenovo! We are glad to hear that you are liking your Legion 7i overall, and we appreciate you taking the time to share your perspective with us. Also, regarding battery life, if you want to squeeze out more battery life and are completing non-intensive graphics tasks, we recommend utilizing the MUX switch built into this model to turn off the GPU to greatly decrease power draw. This can be done in the Lenovo Vantage app > top right box > GPU working mode, then choosing your preferred method. Users can also take advantage of the keyboard shortcut, Fn + Q to toggle thermal modes and easily switch between prioritizing battery life or power, or even the best of both words, along with custom settings configurable in Lenovo Vantage.

sturdy frame, beautiful display, not too bulky for the mean machine that it is. only complaint is it runs pretty hot. also had an issue with nvidia graphics card not switching to integrated graphics smoothly, so i have to do it manually, but that's not really an issue. can run baldur's gate 3 and horizon zero dawn on the highest graphics settings with no lag at all, and does a pretty decent job at handling blender (though i'll probably end up upgrading the RAM to 32GB).

Overall I have done some light work and run some games and everything seems fine, I hooked 2 monitors for my setup.
I like the fact you can easily switch between 240hz and 60hz when you don't really need more frames.
The screen is very bright and the keyboard feels nice.
When playing demanding games the fans get really loud but you can use headsets.
The only thing I don't like is that it doesn't include an ethernet connection but that was my bad for not noticing before buying.

I just received this product and ive never bought a gaming laptop so the unboxing was nice but literally sent me a laptop with no wifi adapters downloaded (i guess thats the problem im no expert but also didnt think i needed to be) so two steps into setting it up, im greeted with log into network and literally nothing is showing up so after researching it all day ive found published “solutions” to the problem and ive only managed to bypass the mandatory set up and was able to set up windows but i still cant connect to any networks nor is the setting even available. I should buy a laptop looking to better understand the thing and dive right into games but instead ive been trying to figure how to simply get the wifi to work all darn day. I really feel like this is someones fault for not making sure there were any issues before the product was delivered to me and im just sitting trying figure out how to figure out problems Best Buy employees get paid to make sure doesn’t happen. This is bull to say the least, its not like this is cheap either so the disregard to detail to a first buying customer is insulting and will definitely effect my decision making when buying from here again. I shouldnt have to get ahold of an expert two steps into setting up my device, and i can’t emphasize enough this wouldnt have happened would the device been simply booted up before being sent to me, it obviously was never checked. Also I kinda want to cuss in my review so that was an additional frustration in this whole process.

I'll start by saying I really want to love this machine and give it 5 stars but I just can't. This is my first "gaming" laptop I have used and bought after building and being a desktop PC guy for the last 10years. We'll start with the pros.
Aesthetics:
This laptop looks and feels premium. The white color looks great on your home desk or on the go when you're out. It doesn't give off a "gaming" laptop vibe.
Performance:
The version I have is the i7 4060 model. For the price point (mine was on sale when purchased) it is a great acquisition. I only game on this and do minimal CPU work loads. The 4060 keeps up just fine with no stuttering or tearing, etc. AAA games like CoD, warzone, Siege, run great and can get a constant 130-150fps on CoD with high to medium settings. More visually demanding games like "Once Human" run and operate without issue getting above 110fps consistently.
Keyboard:
The keyboard is nice to type on and game on. The chassis is fairly rigid with some flex and there is a decent amount of key travel until actuation. Overall a good keyboard, not the best, but not the worst. It's an okay experience and passable.
Cons
Battery:
I understand this is a gaming laptop and needs AC power to really perform. I know that, you know that, we all know that; however I can only get about 3-4 hours of battery doing light non gaming tasks. Video content consumption, internet browsing, etc. It's almost embarrassing. Now since I use this for 95% gaming and always have it plugged in it is not a big deal but it might be to you. Your use case may be different than mine. Do not even think about gaming without the power plugged in, you'll get a whooping 40-60min until its drained..yikes
One thing to note, and not necessarily a con but be aware of the heat. This thing throws heat like Pedro Martinez in the 90s. The fans do a great job of trying to cool it and it stays within the "safe" range but it is mandatory to buy some sort of cooling pad or elevated stand to give the fans room to blow out all that hot air. The fans are also fairly loud but it isn't noticeable if you have on earbuds/headset.
Overall this is a great laptop, especially if its on sale and you can get it cheaper than the listed price currently.
I would suggest this to others but make sure to do your own research before buying! Hope this helps!
