Lenovo Legion 7i
Starting with the flagship, the Lenovo Legion 7i is a 15″ gaming laptop that delivers the most performance for the most demanding of users. The all-metal exterior give the laptop a premium and professional look and despite the vents and base having RGB lighting accents, it’s subtle enough that it doesn’t take away from the subdued look of the laptop. At 2.2kg, it’s not the lightest out there, but still light enough to bring with you everywhere. You can configure the Legion 7i with up to the latest 10th Gen Intel Core i9 H-Series overclocked processors thanks to its advanced thermal management.
Lenovo Legion Coldfront 2.0 makes sure that the laptop performs at its optimum temperature, and prevents thermal throttling. The integrated Vapor Chamber and thermal sensor array take care of the internals to boost the Legion 7i‘s performance.
The Lenovo Legion TrueStrike Keyboard has soft-landing switches for a comfortable gaming or typing session. Lenovo Legion keyboards inherited the keyboard design of the popular Thinkpad series which are lauded to be one of the best keyboards to ever grace the laptop industry. That said, all Lenovo Legion laptop keyboards are abrasion-resistant and keeps it safe from oily fingertips, (not sure about Cheetos fingers though). And being it’s 2020, each keys are programmable to over 16 million color combinations with the Corsair iCUE software.
The 15″ display on the Legion 7i is precalibrated from the factory and is VESA DisplayHDR 400-certified. It’s a full HD (1920×1080) panel with up to 240Hz refresh rate and OverDrive support. If you’re not fancy-ing the 240Hz panel, it’s also available in a 144Hz option.

There’s also a bigger battery than previous generations with the Legion 7i packing a powerful 80WHr battery that can pump juice for up to 8 hours, based on MobileMark 2014 battery life benchmark test.
