My son absolutely loves this computer! It’s very fast and the graphics are beautiful. It’s slim and lightweight, easy to carry to his college classes and great for his gaming.

My sister likes her new laptop I helped her purchase. It's one of the few laptops this generation that still features a numpad. Some odd design choices like a hard-wired 8GB ram slot and a limit on the amount of additional hard drive space that can be added (500GB), but overall a solid (and slim) laptop.

I have to admit I really like this gaming computer especially for the price. I got it to replace that piece of junk dell computer that I never should have wasted my money on and this has not disappointed. I like to play American truck simulator on it and it works pretty well. I would definitely recommend it, now I don’t know how much it is now I actually caught a sale, but I have been very happy with it. It’s just my opinion, but the graphics look good on it, and it runs rather smooth.

Favorite gaming laptop. I run cyberpunk on high specs on this and it runs fine with no lag. It's light and powerful. I run unity, code and even edit videos on the laptop. Lenovo really did a great job with this laptop.

I like the rainbow keyboard effect. I do not like how hot rhis unit gets. Both the computer itself and the power box gets very hot, not just warm. I cant imagine that this is how this was designed and must be defective.

Very powerful performance for the money, I Saved like $1K by buying an open box at Best buy and it was like new condition crazy deal. Great for gaming and office use or school, it's much thinner and better build quality than many typical gaming laptops in this price range.

I really liked almost everything about this laptop. I ended up returning it though because windows 22h2 caused some weird issues. I used the Lenovo provided recovery software to try and recover it but it just did not run right and did not provide the OOB experience I was expecting. Lenovo needs to update the recovery software for this machine because it leaves it in a broken state. If I could of had this restored to the state it was when I bought it, I probably would have kept it.

Great for gaming. Dedicated graphics card allows you to play games that other computers can't. There is no lag and the colors look beautiful. Crips, clear and vibrant. The lighted keyboard is very helpful. Does not overheat even with hours of gaming and multi-tasking. Great computer!

Graphics bug but good otherwise

I like the speed and look of the graphics on screen, however there is a bug that started on the second day I had it. The screen will randomly go black and then refresh itself. I've googled it and discovered that many people are having this issue. This was very frustrating to have a brand new laptop having this issue. When this occurs, if I'm watching a video it restarts the video. If I'm watching Netflix, it restarts my episode from the beginning. I marked that I would not buy this again because of this graphics refresh issue. A new laptop shouldn't have issues on the second day.
After I purchased this, this went on sale for a lower price during the guarantee period. I contacted BB and they said they were refunding the difference. However, when I received the confirmation email, they refunded less than the actual difference. So I contacted them a second time and they agreed that they mistyped the refund and that they would fix it. It was never fixed to the correct amount .

I bought this computer to play WoW. It can run it at the highest settings with no lag or issues what so ever. My only grip is that it does get pretty hot to the touch if you play it for more than an hour. Otherwise its been awesome!

I've had this laptop for a couple of years, and I got it originally to help me do school work (and be able to dual-use it to game). I tend to run heavy art and rendering programs, and it handles it like a champ! The battery life is pretty short in comparison to other Lenovo models I've had in the past; however, that could be attributed to the amount of resources I use (and it doesn't leave the house, so the charger stays handy)! It runs my second monitor/cintique just fine and honestly? I'm super happy with this laptop! I've had laptops give out on me when nearing year two, and it's operating just the same as it did day one.

For the price, The Lenovo Legion Slim 7i works perfectly for high end gaming and editing. However, what it lacks in video, it lacks in battery life, still a perfect laptop.
