Excellent review. Touched on a lot of things other reviewers did not. Helped me decide. I am buying.

i love the legions design, so industrial and clean looking, as a lenovo should look. Not as industrial as the old thinkpads for example, but still looks very cool

[@eddieneyman4035]

Lenovo's wave of mega silent firings in early 2023 were absolutely despicable. They laid of thousands of really great people after posting record profits and bragging about moving up the Forbes list each quarter in their "All Hands" NA org sales meetings to those people that moved the needle for them. They ruined thousands of people's lives, especially those that relocated and even bought new homes during the peak of covid when Lenovo asked for their dedication to support and grow the business. Their warranty process is atrocious and considered terrible by anyone who has had to deal with service claims on top of this.

[@lenovolegion]

Looking great! 💯

[@GustavoNoronha]

That looks like a great choice for the "mobile desktop" segment. It's definitely a machine you want to keep plugged in pretty much all the time you are using it.

[@mhamid3d]

Does the performance actually tank if you have it unplugged? Or does it still let you use it at full power but the battery will just drain quick?

[@GustavoNoronha]

@@mhamid3d yeah, performance tanks, and even then it still drains very quick. See minute 5 in the video.

Interesting gaming Laptop, workstation on the GO when traveling. Will there be any future gaming laptop comparisons in the near future? What are the graphics specifications of the laptop? Thanks for the Legion’s review! 👌💻👩‍💻🥰⭐️💎

[@joseph.cotter]

Actually, if one knows specifically what level of quality the upgraded features are compared to anything else you can get in a laptop, I would argue this laptop is well worth the price "if" you can afford it. The screen would go against the best quality tv screens one could buy (1200 nits! (leaves OLED in the dust,) massive colorspace and dynamic range, etc...,) the liquid cooling is a totally next gen feature that will quickly become a necessary feature in high end laptops when it becomes more widely available, the ai chip is an untested feature that could be so-so or great, largest battery that can go on a plane, a fingerprint reader for quick login (yes, other laptops have this but it has been conspicuously absent from Lenovo systems,) aesthetics that are understated but speak quality as a high end system should (yes, personal opinion) and build quality that is top notch. I can't afford it, and most people won't be able to, but it is interesting to see a Rolls Royce level laptop. If I could afford it comfortably I would buy it yesterday. ;)

[@Martinchox]

[@daltonwhitt7852]

Stuck with the Legion 7i Pro. The value for performance is insane. Received the 4090, 32gb ram, and 2tb SSD for $2,450.49+tax! Only downside I can tell is the IPS panel versus the mini led for the 9i.

[@brandonfrost9801]

This laptop is stacked! Not worth the cost though the Legion 7i is way better value right now for your dollar, hopefully they offer discounts on this build in a few months.

[@osricen]

I don't know why they wouldn't put a full 4K monitor. For content creators, animators, etc. it'd be the perfect desktop replacement. I'm sure it's worth its price and rich people will enjoy it, though. 😂 P.S. Ella is so beautiful!

[@Dserebrakov]

4k is super taxin on GPU. You can have razer blade 16 with 4k

[@patricksutfin9374]

Don't need 4k at 16 inch it is pretty pointless

[@anony88]

I can understand the airplane battery issue, but it would be cool if they offered a larger battery as an optional purchase, for students and etc.

[@xyzdestruction]

I agree, but there are power banks that have the same battery capacity so it could possibly double the battery life like the anker prime 250w and it can deliver 140 watts

[@NLPRD]

I probably will wait for 360hz or maybe 500hz if it's come up, and also ddr7 video card, which is next year.. This laptop almost perfect, but 165hz is not enough

Hi, I am a student from Nigeria, and things are very hard over here this year, I wanted to know whether or not I can get a device for school, Thank you, Hope you reply

[@mimimellow6298]

Hi Ella, I hope you're doing well. I am seeking your advice regarding the acquisition of a new laptop. Specifically, I am contemplating between two options: 1. Lenovo Yoga Slim 7 Pro with an I7-12700H processor, 16GB of RAM, and a 512GB SSD. 2. MacBook Air or MacBook Pro (13-inch) with 8GB of RAM and a 218GB SSD. Given my intended usage for work and college-related tasks, which include applications such as Microsoft Office, KZbin, email, and web browsing, I am interested in your expert opinion on which option would best cater to my needs. Thank you in advance for your valuable input!

[@woodies11]

Not Ella but a software engineer who uses many different laptops all the time. Windows will always run Microsoft Office better, but Mac handles them just fine most of the time. Unless you are doing something very specific like running some niche Excel macros (for example, if you are in some finance sector) then both will do just fine. Apart from that, both will handle what you listed just fine so it comes down to personal preferences. - The MacBook Air/Pro will have a much better battery life, which is very nice for college - They will probably run quieter and cooler - The Lenovo have more storage and likely will be upgradable storage for very cheap down the line. - 16 GB is very nice and might be more future proof but macOS and Apple silicon do manage RAM very well so it's not like you will notice much difference with your use case. This is unless you know you will be opening very huge Excel files (hundreds of thousands of rows) - Mac generally retain value better and the better battery life allows more room for the battery to degrade before becoming unusable. - If you ever want to develop an iOS or macOS app then you must get a Mac - macOS runs a version of Unix kernel so many programming toolchains will run natively. Windows do have very good WSL nowadays but it is still an extra thing you have to use

[@mimimellow6298]

@@woodies11 Thank you so much for taking the time to reply to my comment! I really appreciate it. Now, I have another question. Since there aren't any MacBook models of 13' with 16GB RAM left, I was wondering if you could help me decide between a MacBook Air 13' or MacBook Pro 13' with 8GB of RAM and a 256 GB SSD or 512GB SSD. What are your thoughts on that?

[@woodies11]

@@mimimellow6298 if you order directly from Apple website, you should still be able to configure 16 GB of RAM? Anyway, between Air vs Pro, it will depends on whether you like the Touch Bar (MacBook Pro only) or not. Most people hate it so Air might be better. That said, the Pro does have a fan while Air don't. That could be useful if you live in hot climate or do something very intense for extended period. If not, not having a fan means it's quieter and do not suck dust inside, which may increase longevity. Between 256 and 512, of course, more SSD is better if you can if it to your budget. It depends on your needs though. You can certainly buy external SSD later on for much cheaper but they will never be as convenient as internal ones.

[@DaClaymore]

Would this perform better in games than a pro 7i (also with a 4090) due to AI and cooling? Or even worse due to its slim design?

[@Peizxcv]

Should be about the same. The extra $$$ is on the screen and low profile cooling

[@DaClaymore]

@@Peizxcv I would be fine with “about the same”, kinda worried that it might be worse though due to the slim design and earlier thermal throttling… Thanks for the reply! :)

[@tythee3472]

No, the Legion Pro 7i has a maximum TDP of 250W, while the Legion 9i has a maximum TDP of 230W.

@@tythee3472 wouldn’t that mean that the pro 7i would perform better? Trying to figure out if the 9i is simply a slimmer 7i or a worse performing 7i because of its design

Lenovo is making a big deal out of the water cooling system, but so far not a single metric about thermals. So, to someone like me, that indicates the water cooling is not as good as expected, otherwise they would focus their marketing on showing the numbers. Also, the fact that not a single preview video mentions the speakers, it makes me think its very bad.
