80% Lenovo Legion 7i Gen 9 review: A stunning display that keeps you just under $2,000
Source: Laptop Mag
No, it’s not perfect, but the Lenovo Legion 7i Gen 9 checks all the boxes necessary to satisfy most gamers, especially those who want killer performance and a high-end display. However, if you want a machine with longer battery life and better audio, you can try the MSI Vector 16. It features an RTX 4080 for that superior power, but it’s $700 more than the Legion 7i. And you’d miss out on the Legion’s silky touchpad and faster SSD. The Lenovo Legion 7i Gen 9 is a wild performer and a great choice for most gamers who don’t mind using headphones and being plugged in. However, those scratches on the body are frustrating.

80% Lenovo Legion 7i Gen 9 Review
Source: PC Mag
The Lenovo Legion 7i Gen 9 stands out as a well-rounded, high-end gaming laptop. Though not cheap on its face, this laptop certainly is affordable, comparatively speaking, for what it provides. This is one of the trimmest and lightest gaming laptops with some of the best performance in its class, thanks to its Core HX CPU and GeForce RTX 4070 GPU. Our Glacier White review unit looks luxurious and well-built, and we also enjoyed its comfortable input devices and bright display. Nvidia G-Sync and longer battery life are wish-list items, but overall, this Legion is a fine choice—and Editors' Choice award pick—for a two-grand gaming rig.

85% Lenovo Legion 7i 16 (9th Gen) review: An unlikely contender for the 16-inch gaming crown
Source: XDA Developers
Historically, Lenovo has been known for its business laptops, but if the Legion 7i 16 (9th Gen) is any indication, it also should be a top choice for gamers. The Legion backs a lot of impressive features, including a powerful 14th Gen Intel Core i9 processor and a Nvidia RTX 4070 GPU into an elegant svelte chassis. And despite being a 16-inch system, the 4.5-pound notebook is the thinnest gaming laptop in Lenovo's lineup, making for a pretty portable system. And for the gamers who don't want a notebook that screams "I'm a gamer," you can simply turn off the backlighting and you'll have an elegant laptop that will fit in anywhere. And when it is time to get some work done, those RGB-lit keys are comfortable enough for you to get hours of work done.

16.00":

15-inch display variants are the standard and are used for more than half of all laptops.

The reason for the popularity of mid-sized displays is that this size is reasonably easy on the eyes, often allows high resolutions and thus offers rich details on the screen, yet does not consume too much power and the devices can still be reasonably compact - simply the standard compromise.

Lenovo: Lenovo ("Le" from English legend, novo (Latin) for new) was founded in 1984 as a Chinese computer trading company. As of 2004, the company was the largest laptop manufacturer in China and, after acquiring IBM's PC division in 2005, the fourth largest in the world. In addition to desktops and notebooks, the company manufactures monitors, projectors, servers, etc, and specializes in developing, manufacturing and marketing consumer electronics, personal computers, software, enterprise solutions and related services.

In 2016, the company ranked first in the world in computer sales. It still held it in 2023 with about 23% global market share. Important product lines are Thinkpad, Legion and Ideapad.

In 2011, it acquired a majority stake in Medion AG, a European computer hardware manufacturer. In 2014, Motorola Mobility was purchased, which gave Lenovo a boost in the smartphone market.

77.75%: This rating is not earth-shattering. This rating must actually be seen as average, since there are about as many devices with worse ratings as better ones. A purchase recommendation can only be seen with a lot of goodwill, unless it is about websites that generally rate strictly.
