The Lenovo Legion Pro 7i Gen 9 doesn’t do anything too revolutionary. Looking and feeling pretty much the same as the previous generation I reviewed last year, the 9th generation device brings about more iterative updates. Throwing in a 14th-generation Intel processor and RTX 4090 GPU while boosting the display, the Pro 7i Gen 9 feels far more modern under the hood. Those upgrades are, once again, iterative, but round-out this year’s Lenovo Legion Pro 7i into a machine that can fully take on the big guns and - quite often - win.
High-end 16-inch machines aren’t too rare, but the Lenovo Legion Pro 7i Gen 9 strikes a perfect balance between luxury design and price, all while pushing those frames to their limits. That makes for a particularly impressive experience in one of the best gaming laptops on the market right now - and one I’m yet to see matched elsewhere.
