This variant of the Legion 7i is equipped with a 16-inch WQXGA 2560x1600 IPS display that can refresh at up to 240Hz. It boasts 500 nits peak brightness and VESA DisplayHDR 400 certification, making it an excellent display not just for gaming but also for media consumption. The Legion 7i is powered by the Intel Core i7 14th Gen 14700HX CPU that can boost up to 5.5 GHz. It is supported by 16GB of DDR5 RAM and a 1TB SSD for storage.
Handling the graphics is the Nvidia RTX 4060 GPU with 8GB of GDDR6 VRAM. The RTX 4060 is an excellent budget GPU that can power most AAA titles at the native 2560x1600p resolution, albeit some games may not be able to push the full 240Hz refresh rate.
You can always turn down some of the settings if you want to prioritize a high refresh rate over visual fidelity. Some of the more demanding AAA titles might not be able to deliver optimal performance at the highest settings at the native resolution because of the limitations of the GPU. That being said, the overall gaming experience at this budget-friendly price point will still be great.
NVIDIA's RTX 50 Series Laptops Might Have Been Delayed Over Increased AI Focus
You might be waiting considerably longer for your new RTX 5000 Series Gaming Laptop than originally expected.
For connectivity, you get Wi-Fi 6E and Bluetooth, but there is no Ethernet port. The Legion 7i does support display output via USB-C and there are plenty of regular USB ports as well. The dual 2W speakers tuned by HARMAN deliver loud enough audio for entertainment purposes, though you would still want to use headsets for gaming. There is also a built-in FHD (1080p) webcam with an electronic e-shutter and Tobii Horizon support.
The Lenovo Legion 7i is backed by a 99.9Wh battery for impressive battery backup. This is the largest battery you can have in a laptop, and it also supports Super Rapid Charge, which can take it to 70% in just 30 minutes. The included 230W power adapter has all the juice this laptop needs.
As for portability, it is not the thinnest or the lightest, coming in at 2.24 kg, but it has the performance to back up its size and weight. The keyboard supports per-key RGB backlighting and has 1.5mm of travel.
