At CES 2025, Lenovo showcased a wide variety of new products, including new ThinkPads, ThinkBooks, ThinkCentres, Yoga laptops, IdeaPads, Legion laptops, and much more.
Along with these products, the new and upgraded Lenovo Legion 7i also made its debut. As per the official announcement, the thin and light laptop is designed for gamers as well as users who are active in the STEM fields. This means the new Lenovo Legion laptop would be able to handle intense games as well as software like SolidWorks and OBS Studio.
The Lenovo Legion 7i is powered by the latest CPU - the Intel Core Ultra 9 HX processor, which is designed for intense workloads. For graphics, the laptop will feature the much-anticipated Nvidia RTX 5000 series GPUs. As per the official specs, the highest configuration available is up to an Nvidia GeForce RTX 5070 Laptop GPU.
To keep the laptop cool and quiet, Lenovo has implemented its Coldfront Hyper technology. This technology allows the Legion 7i to support up to 145W TDP while remaining up to 7dB quieter than its predecessor.
The Legion 7i sports a 16-inch WQXGA 16:10 PureSight OLED display with a 1,000,000:1 contrast ratio, 240Hz refresh rate, and 100% DCI-P3 support. As the specs suggest, users can expect the laptop to deliver high-resolution visuals with smooth gameplay.
