Legion Pro 7i – Gaming Laptop - Intel® Core™ Ultra 9 275HX – 16" 2.5K WQXGA OLED Display – 240Hz Refresh Rate – GeForce RTX™ 5070 Ti GPU – 32 GB Memory – 1 TB Storage – 3-Month PC GamePass

I’ve been using the Legion Pro i7 (RTX + Intel i7 configuration) for a few weeks, playing a variety of modern AAA and multiplayer games — and overall, I’m impressed. Here’s the full breakdown from a gamer’s point of view: What I really like Performance: This thing is a powerhouse. It handles demanding titles (think open-world, high-settings) without breaking a sweat. When you crank up settings or use high refresh rates, the i7 + RTX combo keeps fps stable and smooth — no noticeable lag even in hectic firefights or big open-world scenes. Display: The screen is . Crisp visuals, vibrant colors, and smooth frame delivery make everything look clean — from fast-paced shooters to cinematic story-games. As a gamer who cares about immersion, that matters a lot. Versatility: It doesn’t feel like a gaming-only machine. I’ve done some lighter tasks, streaming, and even editing-type work (video/audio) and the system handles it like a champ. Perfect if you want one machine for both gaming and “real life.” Build & convenience: Keyboard and overall build feel sturdy and premium. Ports, connectivity and cooling seem well-balanced — you can plug in accessories, external drives or headsets without fuss; fans don’t get unbearably loud unless under heavy load. What you should know / What could be better Battery life: Don’t expect long unplugged sessions. Like most powerful gaming laptops, the battery drains fast if you actually game on battery power. For anything heavy (games, rendering), you’ll want to be plugged in. Portability vs performance tradeoff: It’s not a super-light laptop. If you move the machine around a lot (school, cafés, trips) you’ll feel the weight. It’s better suited as a “desktop replacement” rather than a daily-carry laptop. Power draw and heat (if pushed hard): With high settings and long sessions, expect the fans to come alive and the machine to get warm. It’s manageable, but noticeable — plan accordingly if you game on your lap or in hot environments

Only been using for one week, but the experience so far has been great. Here's a few things I care about: Laptop Build (5/5). Keyboard is snappy and feels good to type or game on. Track pad is very precise and allows me to read, zoom-in, and traverse webpages very easily. Laptop has some good weight to it and won't move around on a slick surface. Screen has a robust pivot and will move exactly where you want it to and stay there. USBs are as advertised, but there is a physical switch to turn camera off which is really nice. All ports are on the left and right, and the power plug is not a circular power cord, rather a rectangular one which this laptop deserves. It's a good, solid connection, not going to slip out. Heat Tolerance (5/5). So far, I have had no problem running games on ultra settings. Neither the power brick nor the laptop itself has gotten too hot, just warm. The heat is dissipated behind the screen, pointed away, which is a great location for it. Noise level for maintaining good temperature is great, better than my prior laptop. Screen/Color Quality (5/5). The screen is beautiful and definitely bright enough. There is built-in color correction that is a game changer, and compared to previous laptops it is not even close. It's great to read or play games on, and there's lots of options. Gaming Quality (4.5/5). When just playing a game alone, it does great. I have played games on Ultra quality and the FPS doesn't drop below 240 Hz, which is the max refresh rate of the screen. There are certainly more powerful systems out there, but this one is excellent for a laptop. I sometimes will have many Youtube videos open, a discord call, etc., and it still keeps this performance. However, the graphics cards struggles slightly when in the GPU optimized for gaming. Animated GIFs in discord will sometimes glitch out when using this GPU. Additionally, when closing out a game, there is a lag spike that can takes a few seconds, which is the system switching out GPUs. These are minor things, but expect some annoyances. Outside of these instances, it has been perfect. Operating System and Software (3/5). The systems comes packaged with a bunch of bloatware, and Windows 11 shoves ads down your throat at every opportunity. However, I was able to uninstall all bloatware, and through a few hours of searching the internet, I was able to suppress all of Windows 11's ads. I was also able to remove Copilot, which is a must. I immediately went to install a new browser (Edge is still terrible), but the system seemed to keep on setting my default BACK to edge. It took 4 or 5 tries for it to stick. Clearly, MS doesn't want you making this change. The same is for the default search engine, which kept on going back to the default, when I wanted DuckDuckGO. I was also able to uninstall McAfee (also terrible) and put on Malwarebytes. It comes with a subscription, but you couldn't pay me to that software. Overall this is pretty standard procedure for any new Windows machine, but it stank a little more this time. Battery Performance (2/5). When the system is on battery, don't expect to play games. For reference, Bloons TD6 is too much, and it switches between normal speed and chugging along like a device from 5 generations ago. It clearly is not able to take it, nor optimized for it. You can do other things like watch videos or whatever for maybe a few hours. I highly recommend keeping this thing plugged in 100% of the time. Given that all the bloatware and Windows 11 annoyances were able to be fixed, and that battery performance isn't much of a factor for me, I still give this laptop a 5/5. It's a fantastic choice overall. It really feels like a medium performance desktop crammed into a laptop.

I'm yet to actually use the laptop, just arrived. I asked specifically if this came with a plug suitable for UK households and was told no, but it does come with an adaptor. Low and behold there's no adaptor. I don't appreciate being lied to

I did buy this laptop 2 months ago and a red line appeared on the screen due to a hardware malfunction,very disappointed as i loved its performance
