This Is The Most Powerful Laptop We Have Ever Tested! Legion 7i Pro Hands-On

this is about as peak pc performance in a laptop class as it can get....computer processing chips have hit Moore's law limit and pushing it further either will not have much of a gain or it will actually dip because the laws of thermodynamics...it's like reaching Max-Q of a space shuttle

I've spent about a week looking at all 13900hx / 4090 laptops honestly the Lenovo is the most cost effective one overall. I even found a referb that was configured with 64gb ram and 8tb HD. I snagged that up for 3k out the door. That was a killer deal compared to origin, falcon-nw, asus or msi. That configure would have been 4-5k on specd laptop like that.

Did you purchase the referb on eBay?

The most beautiful and cleanest looking RTX 4090 laptop, I love Lenovo! Has literally everything from high refresh screen, high resolution screen, good cooling, not loud when gaming, decent speakers (not that those matter), upgradable ram/ssd, the best keyboard you will find on a gaming laptop, decent battery life, good port selection, HD camera for business meetings and a lot of extra features.

[@babayaga4320]

I'll be getting a '24 version 7i pro 4090 soon, with the newer 14900hx processor. Part of me wants to save a little more, and get the 9i, but I'm not sold on the liquid cooling, it's experimental, and seemingly unnecessary, imo. I just don't know how that will hold up, in the long run.

I just bought the 7I pro from Microcenter in Dallas Tx for $2699. The only upgrade I added was a 2 TB SSD for about $110 for total 3 TB. Its absolutly amazing, and while expensive, a great value on a 4090 laptop. The MSI and Asus comparable models were $3500 or more. I was concerned about the IPS display and preferred Min LED or oled, but this is the best IPS monitor I've ever seen. No light bleed, good blacks, bright at 500 nits, its been great. And the keyboard is fantastic. Not mechanical but very solid and one of the best I've used on a laptop. 100% satisfied.

[@Xiranhi]

I find "desktop replacement" a difficult term. For me, a true desktop replacing machine is a device which stays "healthy" for years of use. A machine with parts I can replace when they break and is meant for service. I had a gaming laptop a few years ago, used it for about 2 years as my main pc. But even though I was not gaming on a bed, it was collecting dust like mad (before I get comments, we do clean our house..). I had to open it up and clean out the fans ever 3-4 months, and repasted it twice with significant perfomance gains after that. But, after two years, screws were worn out, plastic thingies broke off even though I was maximum careful. And as I mainly bought the machine for lan parties, I found that gaming for hours on a 17 inch screen is just not optimal. I had my eye (and prepurchased) on an Eblaztr for a while, but this turns out to be a scam. At least, I won't see my money back. That idea was great though.

[@davidcollins465]

tell me who is running "any" gaming laptop on battery alone? no one buys laptops to go gaming on battery alone. its just not possible for prolonged gaming sessions over an hour at the least.

I bought this laptop specifically to play Starfield, and it's been knocking out of the park so far. I have been meaning to try undervolting it and tuning it to squeeze every bit of performance I can get. But I've been out of the loop and running stock hardware for a while now, are there any good guides to doing this with these kinds of laptops? I'm currently still looking at doing research on it and seeking recommendations.

This is a good laptop but what i dont think gets called out enough with it is the keyboard flex in one specific area: the wasd area. Its insane how much it flexes right there.
