At first I had second thoughts on the this pc, but after looking and comparing other gaming pc’s I decided to go with this one and don’t regret it, this thing works flawlessly and looks and feels sturdy. I did added 32gb vengeance sticks to it, and will upgrade psu to 1000 watts, wish it came with it already but no complaints. Got it when it was on sale for 1699 so felt even better.
Would I have gotten it without the sale tag? My answer is yes, worth every penny.

We bought this for our son to get him a new gaming computer and he is not disappointed. The computer runs very fast, smooth and is very quiet. He plays a lot of Rust and Valorant at high settings at 1080/1440 with great frame rights. You could play games at 4K with probably medium settings and get around 60fps. We did upgrade the RAM to 64GB and I would recommend upgrading from the 16GB it comes with. It's a cheap and easy upgrade that helps performance. You may want to look at upgrading the 500W PSU. We haven't yet but it would probably be necessary adding any further components. Also, we bought it on sale at $1699. When it's at $1999 you could get a slightly better PC. The $1699 price is much more justifiable. Really, you won't be disappointed.

Nicely designed tower case and quiet too. I just have a few complaints about it. 1. The cheap stock two sticks of ram and the 500W power supply. 2. I can't turn off or change the graphics card lighting either. However I bought the computer on sale and used the savings to upgrade the Ram and I replaced the Power supply and so far I'm very pleased with the computer's performance. I uploaded two pictures showing the new Ram and 1000w Power supply.

Upgraded from an Alienware R9 2080 Super because it was beginning to struggle with Warzone and was giving me about 70-80 fps. Decided to invest on a new gaming PC, and after lots of research, I decided to go with this Legion 4070. It’s been a game changer. Everything is faster, cooler, smoother, and quieter. Best part is I got this on sale so it felt like a perfect bargain, and I sold my other PC so it felt like my upgrade didn’t cost as much. Now I am running Warzone at high settings in 2k Ultra Wide and I am getting 140fps. Other games even higher fps. Anyone who plays Warzone knows it’s one of the most demanding games, and so 140fps for me is perfect. First Lenovo Legion product I ever purchased, but they now have a fan because from the looks to the performance, this tower is a beauty.

Excellent machine. Highly recommended. Very quiet under gaming load, and I enjoy all of the RGB on the fans and video card. Did not come with an excessive amount of bloatware pre-installed.

The machine is well built and a good performer. However, the memory included is only running at 4400 Mhz not the advertised 5600 Mhz. From looking at the Lenovo support site it appears this is due to the ram not having an XMP profile. This has been an ongoing issue one the Lenovo forums since April 2023. Also, the motherboard chipset is an Intel B660 which was originally released with 12th gen processors. The T7i comes with a Z790 motherboard which is superior. The included power supply with the RTX 4070 is still just a 500W Bronze. Most recommend at least a 650W with that video card. However, I have not noticed any issues with performance at this time.

I’ve waited awhile to write this review to make sure I am giving you the best review I can. Lenovo Legion is amazing no complaints playing on this model at all. Whether you wanting to play Call of Duty or any of the other FPS titles. This this thing will push out out 240hz flawlessly on high settings in 1080 or 160hz on 1440. If your playing rpg and wanting slower and beautiful gameplay it can deliver there at amazing graphics.

I bought 3 tv/monitors to play Microsoft flight simulator. Since the game was from 2020, I thought an Alienware with a 4060ti could handle it. I was wrong; even on the lowest settings it did not work properly . I had to return it. This machine, on the other hand, does a great job. I like how easy it is to “overclock” and push it to its limits as well. I put in 32 gb RAM, because I had it leftover from the Alienware hoping it would beef it up.

This is a good plug and play system. It’s neat and well balanced with two higher end components.
I’ve taken one star off because the current PSU is 500w which is not enough for this system. It is the bare minimum to function. You need at least a 650

Very happy I splurged on this tower! Exceeds my expectations for ultra high res no lag gaming and everyday PC tasks. Call of Duty and Forza Horizon 5 look and perform at highest settings, can't imagine how good GTA VI is going to look! Worth the investment for a comp that will last me at least a decade.

Got this on sale, definitely worth it. Runs everything perfectly. No issues so far, plus if you’re looking for just something to play games with, this is an amazing choice, it runs everything smoothly on ultra settings.

I got this during black Friday, it runs extremely smoothly at max settings in every game I've tried it with, perhaps a bit overkill for now, I'm guessing it'll last me till around 2036.

Honestly I am happy with my purchase, don’t know too much about computers in terms of putting them together and all that hence me buying a prebuilt but I gotta say I love this thing. I’m in the process of upgrading the amount of RAM but other than that I’ve had no issues. I was hesitant because I have always had issues when buying PCs and Laptops for gaming. They’ve all always given out wayyyy too fast for whatever reason. This one is going strong though with no issues so far.

No complaints yet, i play games like battlefield, helldivers 2, cyberpunk and destiny 2 and it runs them all on high to ultra settings without a sweat, cyberpunk can push it to its limits tho when messing with ultra settings. Rgb is customisable and looks good, no disc drive is a disappointment but i can live without it. It allso runs really quiet. Im a noob at the pc game but i love this thing so far highly recomend.
