Plays games well and I can do the things I need for work.great laptop!It does get hot so I would get a pad for it.

Awesome, just Awesome. Super fast and gorgeous ! Love the glacier white with the RGB lights. Runs smoothly. It does everything plus more.

Extremely powerful laptop. My only qualm with it is the battery life while playing games, but in my use-case does not affect me very much as I am always near a power source. I wanted a good machine for productivity and games and this checks my boxes. 240HZ display is really nice with the games I play too.

Managed to snag this open box for about $1011. Excellent laptop for that price. Runs every game I've thrown at it so far just fine, and it's more than fast and strong enough to handle what I need. Also had 32GB RAM to replace the 16 and added a 2TB SSD to the extra M.2 Slot.

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.

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.

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.

For starters i would like to thank Best Buy for allowing us a good return policy as i will be returning this item. I have tried a couple of the Legion 7i laptops this one with 14700HX/4060 and the 14900HX/4070. Both ran incredibly hot i thought that this one with the 14700hx would run better but that is not the case. My use case is i mainly need something for programming with light gaming on the side. I dont mind the heft or size of the laptops but your choices are run the fans loud all day long or feel the heat on your hands all day long. You can definitely not use this for 8hrs+ either way. I tried undervolting and running in quiet mode with the lowest power settings available but it still ran hot or loud. Maybe this is ok to use just as a gaming laptop for a couple of hours at a time but if you need something for both productivity and gaming i dont think this is for you.

The laptop is amazing. Even with it being open box it was in perfect condition. I upgraded the ram and added another M.2 2tb drive and it works awesome.

I needed a new laptop with more power and space. This has been a great help to my workload but it can get too noisy when the fans come on... not too big of a deal for me though

While a desktop is always better this laptop is great and have jad zero issues w it so far. Play games amazingly and hold great frame rates even hitting 120 fps on dyinglight the beast, it also has plenty of useful feature like progamable buttonsbto turn over clockingbon amd off amoung other things, all in all if youre really wanting a laptop and have the money this is an excellent choice by all means

Everything about this gaming laptop is excellent, except for the battery life. That said, I understand it’s a gaming machine, so it’s expected to some extent. Still, I do wish the battery lasted a bit longer. Overall, I’m happy with my purchase, it’s a beautiful piece of tech.

OMG I LOVE this laptop. I do not game, but I do run payrolls and have 20 tabs and/or programs open at the same time. This computer handles it! Visual is awesome, touch-to-wake is convenient and battery lasts about 4 hours, PLUS takes only 45min to an hour to FULLY charge! Very helpful at conferences or meetings. The white is hard to keep clean and metal jewelry will transfer “scratches” that can be wiped off.

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.

Great Laptop, Great Buy. The legion is a very capable laptop, able to handle most high end games.

This laptop is everything I expected for the cost. I haven’t had any real issues with the device. For working or playing I would give it a 5 out of 5 but the battery life could be better, I don’t think it has ever made it to 8 hours without playing even. The screen is awesome. The keyboard is fine. I can’t say much about the how the pad works since I use a mouse 99% of the time.

This laptop is great! Bought it for my wife to game with me and it checks all the boxes and got me to upgrade my desktop because it outperformed my 3070

Great laptop, only issue is that better life. I would definitely also recommend a laptop fan it helps so much

I am giving this a 3 star for now. I drove over and hour to purchase this gaming laptop for my daughter. Got it home and would not turn on NOR hold a charge. It was the only one instock at that store. So had to drive almost 2 hours to another store to get one that was in stock. Same thing happened when they opened the new one. Then it started charing and held after it charged for a bit. Had a few odd glitchy things happen, setup was confusing and had to be done twice before it accepted what we entered. Now that she has had it for a few weeks, she has not reported any major issues. Still an odd glitch here and there, but nothing major. We will see in more time if this was worth the money?

In love with this laptop! I chose a laptop over a gaming pc because of school and I can still run all my favorite games. The fan is only noticeable when I’m gaming so it doesn’t bother me when i’m out studying in a public space. The design is also so clean and isn’t very bulky like other gaming laptops. I would definitely recommend!
