The Lenovo Legion 7i Pro is a high-end laptop with a substantial price due to its Intel i9 processor and Nvidia RTX 4090 graphics card. It has 32GB of RAM and 1TB of storage, ensuring high performance for even the most demanding tasks, such as 3D rendering, machine learning, and engineering software. Its 16-inch IPS display with a high refresh rate makes it suitable for intensive gaming and smooth visuals, while the high resolution and color accuracy offer a vivid picture quality. However, with a weight of over 6 pounds and a battery life that only supports typical usage for up to 5 hours, it is not the most portable option. Furthermore, its gaming appearance might not appeal to those seeking a more business-oriented design. It features a backlit keyboard with a number pad, multiple USB-C and Thunderbolt ports, and supports USB-C charging, making connectivity and charging convenient. It was released in March 2023 and runs on Windows 11 Home. Give Feedback
