The new Legion is a real solid slab of gaming laptop goodness. It's robust, feels dense, and is the most powerful and performant of all the new notebooks we've been testing in this generation. It may feel like a classic big gaming laptop, but it's still got some tricks up its sleeve which make it a great modern gaming laptop.
It would be all too easy to tar the Legion Pro 7i with the same anachronistic brush as the Gigabyte Aorus Master 16 and MSI Vector 16 HX AI—it is, after all, very much one of those big old school gaming laptops you expect to have plumbed into a power source for its entire life. But, though it doesn't have the same thinned-down chassis as the latest Razer Blade 16 design, Lenovo has given its Legion line a complete redesign, which makes it look far slicker and with more than a hint of the Alienware flair about it, too.
