Great gaming laptop. This is my second one and it’s tons better than the 1st

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!

This laptop looks beautiful. It is arguably the best looking 16" laptop out in 2024. And the materials used feel nice and premium. The screen is great. It's no OLED or mini-LED, but it has good colour coverage, high refresh rate and bright. You won't be wanting more unless you really want the benefits that other display tech provides. The performance it puts out is as expected of the specs: AAA games will need to be set to medium to game on native resolution and handles e-sports titles like nothing. With that being said, that HX processor is hurting this laptop. The thing just produces too much heat, Ryzen or a Core Ultra processor would have been a better fit for this laptop. To add to that, the processor choice is the main reason this laptop has really bad battery life. The battery is large, but that HX processor is just too power hungry for any non-plugged in work to be done for any good amount of time. The speakers are also terrible, even more so for a 16" laptop. They are weak, lacks bass, and starts to distort at around 60% volume. The keyboard is classic Legion, nice feel and comfortable to type on. But what hurts typing on this is that edge where the sides and the palm rest meets. The lack of a taper or some smoothing means that edge will dig into your forearm/wrist. But this will vary person to person. Upgradability is great. 2 soddim slots, 2 m.2 ssd slots, and a changeable WiFi card. TDLR: Laptop looks and performs great with a good upgrade path. Speakers are bad. So is the battery life, but that is because it's equipped with a powerful not too efficient processor.

So I pulled the trigger on the Legion 7i a couple of weeks back, and overall I'm pretty happy with it. This thing has some serious power under the hood. I've been playing all my usual games (Cyberpunk, Warzone, etc.) on high settings without a hitch. The 16-inch screen is gorgeous, and the 165Hz refresh rate is buttery smooth. The keyboard feels great to type on, and the RGB lighting is customizable, which is always a plus. The Glacier White finish looks sleek too - definitely stands out from the usual black gaming laptops. Now, it's not all perfect. The fans can get loud when you're pushing the system, and the battery life isn't amazing. If you're planning on gaming unplugged, don't expect more than a couple of hours. Also, the laptop itself is a bit on the heavier side, so it's not the most portable option. A couple of other things: 16GB of RAM feels a bit limiting in 2024, especially for a laptop at this price point. I might upgrade that down the line. And the webcam is just... okay. It's fine for Zoom calls, but don't expect to be streaming in high quality with it. Overall, the Legion 7i is a fantastic gaming machine. It's powerful, looks great, and the keyboard is top-notch. If you're willing to overlook the fan noise, battery life, and a few other minor quibbles, it's definitely worth considering.

After using the Lenovo Legion 7i for a while, I can confidently say it’s one of the best laptops I’ve ever owned—especially for the price I got it at. I have the model with an Intel Core i7 and an RTX 4060, and the performance has been super solid. Whether I’m running heavy programs, multitasking with a ton of tabs, or just casually gaming, it handles everything without slowing down or overheating. The display is really sharp and smooth, especially with the high refresh rate—it makes everything feel more responsive. I also like how the keyboard feels to type on; it’s comfortable, has customizable RGB lighting, and doesn’t feel cheap like some other gaming laptops. The build quality overall is really sturdy, and it doesn’t feel bulky but it is still heavy . One of the only downsides is the battery life—it’s decent, but this kind of performance definitely eats through it pretty fast if you’re not plugged in. Also, the fans can get loud under heavy load, but that’s kind of expected with a machine like this.

This laptop is AMAZING for gaming/productivity/work on a budget. The ONLY things holding it back are battery life (could use the new Intel Core Ultra Series 2 as an upgrade) and the Touchpad. Performance is quite good! Cooling is good albeit a bit loud. The keyboard is really good (typical Lenovo affair) although the lighting software kept resetting our customization (we set it to be white, and it kept going back to rainbow puke) LOVE the fact that it has a full sized SD card reader. Love that it can charge VIA USB C. Love the numpad (with a full sized 0 key!) LOVE the display at 240hz it's so smooth!

When it comes to specs it is more than enough to play anything! Beautiful RGB keyboard with many light modes to chose from! And its very fast in general! The only con is the battery life, but as long as you have brightness down and its sat on a cool area its fine. But hey, its a laptop what do you expect? And in case you do not know, when you play any game, it must be kept plugged in so that the laptop can play in its max/regular performance for most games! This goes for every laptop in case you didn’t know!

Fresh outta box with screen issue what a bad feeling

Wonderful gaming laptop. Well built and white just looks good. Keyboard lights up to give added effect. Runs smooth but on performance settings will run hot. Definitely recommend cooling pad for heat and long term care. Not sure if worth it at full price but at a discounted / open box it was a steal. BB geek squad protection is a nice insurance to have.

Very fast and well made, could get pretty loud and hot but that’s expected for the performance it gives!

I would like to say that the staff at the Savannah Ga location are amazing. After the Zephyrus ordeal (posted on that product review) and the time spent finding the right pc they couldn't have been more wrong in any way. This computer by far puts the others to shame. I have amazing blazing speed, amazing display, speakers are a little quieter than expected but still plenty loud, the refresh rate is unrealistic how amazing and fast it is not to mention this machine can handle anything you throw instance whilst having WoW open dual screened on 1 screen I opened subway surf on the other then WoW and Fortnite no lag no slow down no over heating. The RGB lighting is amazing as well. Others have said that these fans are loud but I just don't hear them any louder than any other laptop I've owned in this nature to be honest. AMAZING DEVICE GREAT JOB LENOVO GREAT JOB BESTBUY!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I have had this laptop for almost a year and it has been solid, fast, dependable and easy to us. Games such as battlefield work well on it. For a laptop the battery has been solid. Bluetooth has worked as it should without problems. Fans are not loud. The keyboard has good tactile feel and response is good. Display is bright. Plus I love the white color. Oh and charger is plugged in at the back which is prefect.

The Lenovo Legion 7i is hands down one of the most impressive gaming laptops I’ve ever used. From the moment I fired it up, the raw performance was undeniable — this machine flies. Whether I’m running AAA games on ultra settings, streaming, or multitasking with heavy workloads, the Legion 7i handles it all without breaking a sweat. The 2.5K display is absolutely gorgeous — crisp, fast, and fluid. Games look stunning with the high refresh rate and sharp resolution, and the Legion Coldfront cooling system keeps temps in check even during marathon sessions. It’s built like a tank, but still sleek and premium. What really sets Lenovo apart, though, is their customer service. Their support team is responsive, knowledgeable, and genuinely helpful — something you don’t always get with big brands these days. That peace of mind makes a huge difference. If you’re serious about gaming and want a machine that delivers desktop-class performance in a portable form, the Legion 7i is a beast — and Lenovo’s support makes it a smart long-term investment too. Highly recommended!

The screen on this laptop is really beautiful. Blacks are very black and font edges are smooth. The brightness is a big plus. I tried the i9 version of this laptop and prefer this one. The 4060 plays games on my 49 inch external monitor just fine. The build quality is outstanding. I like the slimness of this over the bulk on the 5i Pro. Also, the white shows less fingerprints which always have annoyed me on black laptops.

I had asus zefyrus in 2023 and now im upgrading, screen resolution is really good, I was looking for an Oled screen but this is very close and I love it. Decent weight for the size as well and still easy to travel. You just need a bigger backpack. No issues with gaming, just make sure you optimize the options. Battery is ok, wish it is better.

The Lenovo Legion 7i impresses with its premium build, high-end performance, and a crisp 240Hz display, making it ideal for serious gamers and creators. Its advanced cooling system keeps temperatures in check, even during intense sessions, while the keyboard offers a comfortable, responsive experience. The battery life could be better, but overall, it’s a powerhouse for those needing top-tier graphics and speed in a sleek, portable package. Perfect for gaming and multitasking, it strikes a balance between power and style

Purchased an openbox laptop since I did not want to spend a lot of money on a new one. What I liked about this laptop is the computer display. It's so bright, nice keyboard RGB lights. I also liked how I can connect this laptop to my phone then just view all my cp messages on the computer. Everything aboutr this laptop is great except for it's battery only lasting for 5hrs.

I love this computer. I play all games and it works wonderfully. No lag. Good graphics. Battery life isn’t the best but I almost always have it plugged in anyways. The speakers are my only complaint but that’s an easy fix with headphones.

I researched gaming computers in depth to choose one for my son whose 5 year old MSI died. I chose the Lenovo Legion 7i and so far it's been great. We've had a small glitch with the wi-fi lagging/dropping but that may just be our wifi connection. Overall, I would recommend this computer. The display is beautiful, it's fairly quiet, it's fast and handles the games he throws at it (flight simulators and 1st person shooter games). However, our Best Buy experience was not good. I ordered an "open-box EXCELLENT laptop". My order indicated the unit's Open Box ID number, that it would be in perfect condition with the original packaging and all parts. The laptop I received was labeled "GOOD" condition, was not in its original box, had no packaging aside from a shipping box and bubble wrap. The shipping box was WAY too big for the laptop so it was sliding around all over the place in the box. This laptop that was supposed to be in excellent condition was around $1400 and it arrived in a box that was too big and looked like someone had played soccer with it. On top of that, there was no discount given for the difference in condition from "Excellent" to "Good". No notification that they shipped an item that was not what I ordered aside from a label on the laptop that said "Good Condition" and indicated a different Open Box ID than the one on my order confirmation. I honestly feel like Best Buy tried to pull one over on me and it's very disappointing. I am a regular at Best Buy. I've probably purchased 4 gaming gaming computers, 2/3 MacBooks, so many televisions, headphones, sound bars etc over the years and I feel betrayed. I did find another open box Excellent Lenovo Legion 7i at another store and picked it up rather than ship it. It was beautifully packaged in all of the original packaging and the price had even dropped by a few dollars since my initial order. All in all, my son loves his laptop and I do recommend it but Best Buy should have done better.

Great laptop, less demanding games ran very well. Look and feel was great too. A bit heavy and a gets a bit warm but minor complaints when the performance was so solid.
