Lenovo Legion 7i – the best gaming notebook of 2020?

Gaming tests – dedicated GPU

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.

In the gaming tests, there is again an interesting difference between the GS66 and the Duo 15, both equipped with the RTX 2080 Super Max-Q and also the M15. Although it has a weaker RTX 2070 Super Max-Q, its external dimensions and slim body are more similar to the GS66, while the Duo 15 has an obvious advantage due to its larger size and AAS cooling.



In GTA we see the Legion’s victory over the competition, Asus lost by 5%, MSI 43% and OMEN up to 64%. These are really big differences and only the M15 offers comparable performance to the Legion in this game.




In Far Cry you can again see the Legion’s lead, although the average FPS are the same as MSI has. Asus loses by 6% and OMEN 14%.




Odyssey shows very balanced results of average FPS between Legion, MSI and Asus, while OMEN lags behind by 12%. So let’s look at the minimal FPS, where Legion and MSI give better results than Asus and OMEN.




The new tested title is AC Valhalla, where we observe similar results as in Odyssey. So it looks like the new title will be similarly demanding as the older title from the family.



SOTTR confirms the trend of Legion’s dominance over MSI by 3%, OMEN 18% and Asus by up to 47%.




Surprisingly, Asus gives very good results in Metro and the Legion loses by 3%. However, MSI loses to the 7i by 6% and OMEN by up to 27%.




With RTX enabled, the difference in Metro increased to 5% between Asus and the Legion, and decreased slightly to 4% between the Legion and MSI and to 25% against OMEN.
