Lenovo Legion is no longer a start-up brand, quite the contrary. In recent years, it has gained a strong position among gaming brands such as Asus, MSI and Gigabyte. This is mainly due to gaming tournaments, where we see Legion quite often, but especially on the gaming laptop market. The new flagship Legion 7i must not only resume where its great predecessor left off, but also beat strong competition.

Lenovo Legion 7i 15IMHg05 (81YU0054CK) is an amazing gaming laptop that offers a lot of positives and only slight flaws. I consider the main advantages to be a very good CPU and GPU configuration, which, thanks to sophisticated cooling, achieved above-standard results across tests and also beat a significantly more expensive configuration. ColdFront 2.0 cooling is really well designed and allows components to get the most out of performance, which is often a problem with thin gaming notebooks. The build quality, materials and overall impression of the device is excellent, but nothing else can be expected from Lenovo. I praise the keyboard and the port selection. I also give a big plus for the display, which offers great parameters for playing and graphic work.
Negatives are really hard to find. Perhaps the only one is the absence of biometric security, which is really a shame. What I would improve in the future are speakers, camera and maybe the touchpad, but this is very much played by the fact that I am used to a different class of equipment and criticism of these areas is really far-fetched. The overall rating, including the price, I think is clear. This is the best gaming laptop we tested in 2020, for which I award it the ‘Top notch’ award!
