Customer Ratings & Reviews

The Legion Pro 7i is one of the best gaming laptops on the market, minus a few niggles. DISPLAY: The 16" 240hz OLED is one of the best I've seen or used, its inky blacks, almost 1000nit HDR performance, and near instant response time makes for one of the best gaming/viewing experiences I've ever used. KEYBOARD/TRACKPAD: The Legion offers the same Thinkpad style keyboard experience as its business and flagship laptops. The slightly concave smile shaped keys make for one of the best typing experiences this side of a Macbook. The trackpad is responsive and precise, but is of the plastic variety with a cheaper feel compare to the rest of the laptop. AUDIO: The four speaker system offers excellent audio for a laptop, it doesn't have the Soundscape of something like an Asus Zephyrus G14/16 or the Macbook Pro 16, but it's not too far off. BUILD: Mostly aluminum the lid is solid with little flex and the stamped aluminum keyboard is solid as well. THERMALS: Setting the laptop in its performance mode had CPU temps in the mid to high 80s (Celsius) with the GPU seldom hitting 80c during games. The 3 fan design paired with a Vapor Chamber made for a cool and quiet gaming experience. BATTERY: For gaming you're looking at 1-2 hours depending on how graphhicslly intensive the game is. As far as normal usage goes I was getting between 5-7 hours while on the web/docs/streaming music. While not Lunar lake, Zen 5 or Apple M series laptop battery life... For a gaming laptop this size it's about as good as it gets. There were very few cons on the device, but the few I had may be an issue. The backlight on my laptop stopped working behind several keys and while attempting to add storage, the metal heatsink cover over the ram and storage had one screw head snap and one stripped out. The metal these screws are made of seems to be pretty soft, so be careful removing the cover. I would highly recommend this laptop, but be aware of the issues I had. The backlight in the keyboard could have just been badluck, but the upgrade design requiring the removal of an additional heatsink cover to access storage and ram could be handled better next gen. Just look at the Strix G16/18 and Scar 16/18 from Asus with its toolless design.

Absolute beast of a laptop, using balanced mode in Lenovo software I run cyberpunk no frame generation, max settings with path tracing & modded with additional textures and get no frame skips. The ultimate 5080 laptop and it came with borderlands 4 & battlefield 6 on release. Got it on sale for 2775.00 at a retail price of $3000.00 +. This machine is amazing and Best Buy did great with the same day pickup. Couldn’t be more pleased with this purchase, it exceeds my expectations

If you have the money and want the best performance out of a 5080 laptop this is the one. Beautiful OLED Screen. I have played COD and Apex Legends 200+ fps max settings

Great laptop, beautiful display, very capable gpu. Fans keep it cool without being too loud.

Overall the machine is beautiful. I have had a problem with it sleeping then waking up to a fuzzyish screen but a restart fixes it. I think the on board intel graphics card is a dud. Just don't have the time to drive an hour and a half one way to get it looked at or exchanged. I have done, and kept up with all updates.

Overall the laptop is very good. Upgrading (adding) RAM and SDD is very easy. The back side is a little bulky with the fan export, but needed due to the CPU/GPU. Noise levels are in line with this higher performance laptop. Really the main negative is around the weight. It is a bit heavy due to the higher type laptop, but the power brick (400w) adds a big increase to weight when carrying around in backpack. Also, I needed to buy a second power brick and they are harder to find only. Even Lenovo didn't sell one directly. I finally found one online and it was $250.

Let me explain. - this thing is bonkers. The processor does at 57 on performance, the you benefits from a 400w power supply, the build is insane, speakers are amazing, oled is punchy! Cooling is also fantastic. I hate when people buying gaming laptops say battery life sucks - it’s a GAMING laptop. That’s what they do. 20 year IT veteran and former geek squad manager here - this thing is nuts. Sleek. It’s my current daily driver and you can’t go better than this at this size and price. Beautiful unit.

you can throw any game at it and it runs great! love the oled display too. only comes with one 1tb ssd but you can always upgrade that or use the 2nd SSD slot. Then you can upgrade the ram to 128gigs which is crazy to me but if you need that for some reason you can do it. If i had to complain about anything would be the battery life. if your not gaming and your using the integrated intel graphics and put everything to eco mode and turn all the lights off you can get a few hours out of it if need be but at the end of the day its a gaming laptop.

Lenovo Legion Pro 7 (RTX 5080) – Honest Review Unboxing the Legion Pro 7 was pretty standard—nothing flashy about the packaging. But once opened, the laptop itself looked beautiful. The build quality impressed me immediately. The OLED screen? Stunning. It reminded me of the G16’s panel—so good that I didn’t even want to hook it up to my gaming monitor. I was content just using the display it came with. The speakers are solid. Not quite on par with the G16 or G14, but still miles ahead of most Windows laptops—especially MSI. Apple still leads in audio, but Lenovo did a decent job here. The Lenovo Vantage software is clean and simple. While it doesn’t quite match the functionality and polish of Asus's Armoury Crate, it’s definitely better than MSI’s cluttered software experience. Now for the drawbacks: No Thunderbolt 5 support – very disappointing for a flagship-level machine in 2025. Rear I/O relocation – Moving most ports from the rear to the sides feels like a step back for gamers who value desk cleanliness and cable management. No fingerprint sensor or Windows Hello – It’s a premium laptop, and being forced to enter a PIN every time feels like a regression. Maintenance quirks – Upgrading the SSD or RAM requires removing part of the vapor cooling system, which is tedious and risky. One screw almost stripped on me. If you're opening it up, use the right tools and be careful. On the plus side, battery life has been decent so far. The trackpad is responsive, and the keyboard feels great—good travel, not too loud. Personally, I prefer these softer keys over loud, clicky ones. Gaming performance? Flawless. The RTX 5080 handled everything I threw at it without breaking a sweat. Fans never got obnoxiously loud like they did on the MSI Raider 18 or even the Asus G16. Thermals stayed under control throughout my sessions. Also worth noting: the Gen 5 SSD slot (already populated with a Samsung drive) is blazing fast—rivaling even the 990 Pro I use in my desktop. Final Verdict: I wanted to love this laptop, and in many ways, I do. But Lenovo cut a few corners that matter—especially to gamers and power users. The missing Thunderbolt 5, port relocation, and lack of biometric login features hold it back from perfection. Score: 4/5 A strong performer with great build quality and display, but it’s missing just enough to keep it from being a top-tier,

It's literally a beast. No matter what I do, high end gaming, machine learning, editing, this laptop does it extremely well. Thermals have also been amazing for me. The keyboard is amazing with nice & punchy RGB lighting. I only wish Lenovo offered more things with Vantage, but it's not a deal breaker.. The only con that I've found is fingerprints on the surface, it's just too much.. And the positioning of headphone port on the right side is just dumb design. They could have gone with ports on the back like it was in Gen 9.

Best laptop I’ve ever had. More than powerful enough to multitask, play any game, and run Virtual Machines. I set it up with 2 external 1440p monitors and works perfectly. Battery doesn’t last longer than 5 hours but that’s to be expected from a mobile workstation of this caliber, so not a knock.

I’ve been using the Lenovo Legion Pro 7i RTX 5080 and it’s one of the best gaming laptops I’ve ever had. When playing Cyberpunk 2077 with ray tracing turned on, the visuals are breathtaking ,reflections, lighting, shadows, the kind of immersion that feels like stepping into Night City. Thanks to DLSS (and especially the newer DLSS-4 / Multi-Frame Gen stuff), it manages to hit smooth frame rates even under heavy RT loads. Performance in Ultra settings is shockingly good. The screen is gorgeous: a 16-inch OLED QHD+ panel, extremely vibrant colors, fast 240Hz refresh, crisp response times. It elevates both gaming and media content beautifully. That said, there is one annoying quirk: sometimes the system will default to another display or switch to the internal (integrated) GPU instead of using the RTX 5080. You’ll notice lower performance or visuals until you dive into settings to re-assign the GPU or disable Optimus ensure the MUX switch is active. It’s not a deal breaker once you’ve tweaked it, the Legion delivers. But for out-of-the-box usage, that behavior can be frustrating. Overall, if you want top-tier gaming portability, this is about as good as it gets just expect to spend a few minutes configuring things correctly.

Great performance and thermals. Highly recommend a laptop cooler, iets or llano. Upgraded from 4080 M16 that no longer powered on. Geek squad made it easy, giving me credit for my previous purchase under the Best Buy protection plan.

I’ve used Legion products off and on for years now. Always come back and this model didn’t disappoint. Great speed, graphics, and upgrades. The battery life is subpar but that’s acceptable for a machine of this quality.

Fast and reliable with a beautiful built-in screen. Does not handle external monitors as well as I would like. I prefer to have my lid closed when I have an external monitor hooked up. When the internal screen is off, it defaults to a lower resolution on the connected monitor. I can't rate the battery life since it is always plugged in at my desk. I am also not a fan of the disco lights and had to figure out how to turn them off with the keyboard shortcut. I have an external keyboard, and I almost never use keyboard shortcuts, so it took me a while to find it. It was easy enough when I located it. I think of Lenovo as a business laptop, so I don't know why they added the colored LEDs everywhere. The ones under the keyboard are especially distracting.

Love this laptop for gaming. The images are so beautiful and the performance is terrific. I wish it came in a lighter weight version but since i mostly play at a stationary location its not a big deal. While gaming the battery lasts maybe 30 minutes so plan on plugging in. Worth the extra cost for the screen quality!

By far, the BEST laptop in it's class!! Not cheap, but it delivers everything you can thro at it and then some!! The screen is absolutely stunning!! Every game I've played, I've played MAXED out for hours and never had an issuse. There's alot of youtube videos that also rate it very high. And I agree with them all! Built like a tank too. Very solid and robust. It feels expensive! The 400w brick, charges it super fast too! The only bad thing I can actually complain about, is the cost. And the lack of upgrading. But, upgrades arent actually needed to be honest. Battery life isn't anything to brag about either. A laptop this powerful though, is going to consume power like a Lamborghini does fuel! This is a serious machine for serious work and play.

This is an awesome computer. The screen resolution is great! The fans blow out the back pushing heat away from me which is very nice. My old laptop would get hot on the keyboard and i have not had that happen with my Legion. The battery life is better than my other laptops running very well when playing games. My other laptop is a little over a year and a half old but only lasts abput half the time of my new Legion.

Really enjoyed the laptop on my recent vacation. Vibrant colors, speed, and response time. Couldnt ask for a better laptop

Great computer with lots of power. Ideal for gaming and entertainment.
