Also, I wanted to mention that since the Legion Pro 7i had 16 vs 32 GB of ram in the Legion 9i--I am planning on a follow Legion Pro 7i retest with a 32 GB DDR5-5600 kit from SK Hynix. I hope to do that livestream Monday, if all goes well. The theory is that the increased capacity 32 GB of RAM provides a performance boost in all games, not just the ones that need 32 GB. We will see! I look forward to seeing what's actually true!

All we needed was a Legion Pro 7i with a mini-LED display option.

Just got Legion 7i recently and very happy with it, huge upgrade from 1060 to 4080 for me lol

Please make a comparison between the regular strix g16 display and the legion pro 7i display.

Buddy can we upgrade the pro 7i display like the RAM? And a bit about the flex on keyboard and plastic units?

Hello, I am curios what has a better cooling system, the Legion 9i or Asus Scar 18? I mostly intend to use it for Unreal Engine 5 and I want to keep the temperatures in check. Thanks for the great content!

Anyone know the dimensions for the left-wrist-rest? I’d like to compare it with my current set up in order to see if it’ll be comfortable.

Will we see the same configurations in the 14th generation cpu(meteor lake)? And in recent history?

Hi Gizmo!!! Tell , which notebook better. Aorus 17x azf vs Asus scar 18 vs legion 7i . All notebooks with 13980 and 4090.

Hello gizmo can you please do a review of msi stealth 16 studio star blue variant ?? Core i7 16320H /13700H and rtx 4070 8gb vram and also check its battery life

Looking at getting one the new legion 7i gen 9 can get up to 32gb of ram what would be better in the long run? If you think the liquid cooling and stuff would be better in the long run ill get the 9 but cant get a certain answer on what would be better in the long run?

Glad I waited! The i7 pro didn't impress me as much as the msi gt77 as I really wanted the mini led. I've held off hoping lenovo would step it up and give us a higher tier varient. I've owned 4 laptops in my 32 years.. all have been lenovo. Each one of them still works and fires up like new. My x1 carbon 6th gen is quite dated now. Been looking for a good upgrade that can actually play games as I dont have the time to fire up my desktop as much these days.

Hey GizmoSlipTech love your laptop/notebook in depth review content would you please review the Acer Predator Triton 17x laptop as it is a beast of a productive/gaming laptop and is a competitor against the best laptops of 2023 just no one has done a in depth review please would really appreciate it as I’m purchasing one soon!

There is also a new OLED laptop out this year called the Asus Zenbook Pro 16x OLED with an astounding OLED screen and a Nvidia RTX 4080 GPU would love for you to review that also please would greatly appreciate it. Thanks for the in depth notebook/laptop reviews!

Please help me, I am confused between Legion 9i and M3 Pro Max 36 GB 1TB varaint. I have no problem regarding the price, and both the OS are ok for me. I use a few VM for ethical hacking apart from these I program and also do video edits. Please recommend which one will be worth.

Hello guys! May you Please spare some time reading my thoughts on this probably unhinged comment on the legion 9i and the 2023 legion lineup in general! Thank you 😊 As a legion fan, I’m really disappointed on this year’s premium lineup . Last year’s legion 7i gen 7 was the perfect laptop from functionality and ease of upgradability to the bells and whistles is what made the laptop to be the legion in the first place. They could have just stick with it BUT NOO!! “Let’s introduce a new series so as to match the intel CPU’s numbers”they thought,”Let’s butcher the features on the 7i” they said, “let’s add a water cooler that is adds nothing on our already very intelligent very thoughtful and very very functioning vapor chamber” they decided.”let’s make few comprise such as inverted motherboard, keyboard shifted lower leading to stretched trackpad and worse ergonomics so as to isolate the bellybutton I mean power button 😅 and having more holes that can make you more worry about dust and debris and display not tilt up to 180 degrees” they suggested. Oh whats that? The chassis and display get warmer to the touch than the legion 7i? well you know what they say! Carbon fiber on top cover is now the new black and RGB legion logo go burrrrr! All in the price of $1000/= dollars more than the legion 7i. Honestly It feels like Lenovo made the laptop and thought “what if we made it the ROG way and we butcher the lineup like the DELL way 😂” But I’ll give the legion team the benefit of the doubt since it’s their very FIRST 9i lineup, they had to struggle on what to compromise or not as a premium or none premium feature. This comment is a perspective on the difference between legion lineups of 2022 and 2023, NOT difference between legion and other gaming laptop cause if it was then I would said something very differently on this laptop, actually I would probably end up praising it since legion are always solid and wholesome in general That is my thought, Again I say!(or write) Thank you! for spending your time reading this ranting comment. Have a OK day!

From what I know I believe the exhaust for these guys, at least the 7i, is from the behind and the left and intake from underneath.

Any plans on testing both with the same amount of RAM? Others and I feel that the 16 GB on the pro 7i was the biggest reason you saw variance.

Can someone recommend a screen for the pro 7i I have a 4090 in it and RAM upgraded to 64gb ddr5

9i def better. I think a lot of people are projecting their insecurities about their 7i purchase.

I’m ordering a 7i right now actually not sure on amd or Intel but I’m going for a 4080, I see both of yours have the rgb under glow but the pictures on their website don’t show the 7i to have it, also is their 140w Type c charger compatible? It says the laptop can take up to 140w type c charge but their 140w charger shows support for the 9 and waaaay less premium laptops but not the legion 7 or 5 even though they both advertise 140w type c PD. Am I just getting bad info from their website?

Hello Brandon, You think you will review Alienware M18 with 7900m?

I’m actually building a legion pro 7i on their website right now and came across the 9i, the price difference is massive lol. My question came down to the rgb implementation, do they both have that rgb under glow? On their website the pictures of the 7i do not show the rgb strips lit up but the pictures of the 9i have those strips lighting up. Both of yours have the rgb bar under glow, so is that just their website being annoying? Also their 140w type c charger only shows support for legion 9, but also shows support for yoga or idea pads, does the legion 7 support the 140w charger (which isn’t available right now anyway lol). Btw I’m looking at 13900hx or the AMD variant and 4080 config, it appears it will ship with their slimmer 300w charger. I’m confused about the rgb strips under the laptops and the type c charger, anyone know these answers?

Would've just preferred the exact same 2022 design but with 2023 cpu and gpu, much more worth it imo

1200 nits is for HDR mode.. that said MSI claims 1000 on the mini LED 4K of the GT77 and I max out at 700 in HDR mode, so that too is way overstated.

Also. Since you seem very surprised about the difference in RAM, from what I understand the difference in VRAM is also very significant.

Yep, thermals are nightmare! Just returned to shop Legion 7i 4090 because of them. In GTA 5 i had CPU like 100C and VRAM 106C. Ok, I believe this is hot laptop. But this cause a lot of lags and freezes in game, that not normal. So - returned.

There are so many Legion Reviews LOL! Why are there no reviews of the Triton 17x?

I don't understand why they just didn't reuse the chassis from 7i 2022. It was literally perfect, whole thing metal, a lot of RGB, glass touchpad, it was built like a tank. Just slam a miniLED screen on it and 4090 and it would be the best gaming laptop but lenovo instead cut down the 7i so much it hurts, plastic interior and touchpad while the "premium" 9i is so expensive I can buy a decent car for that money. Macbook Pro is literally one of the cheapest laptops with a miniLED screen currently. Obviously you can't game on it but it has better speakers, screen, touchpad, battery life and build quality than any of these 4000$+ laptops.

This may be unpopular but I got the 9i with a 4080, thought that was the best overall setup getting everything needed b/c the 4090 is simply overkill minus esports rpg's so if you're not doing that then the 4080 is still awesome. One thing though this vantage rgb software is wonky, it'll start lighting up random keyboard keys if I try and change the sidebar or logo rgb color to something different..? Takes a while to set everything correct with different effects

Most of the premium is for the mini-LED screen and to a lesser degree, the bigger RAM. I guess there's also a few extra features like the fingerprint reader. The downside of the Legion 9i of course is cost, and the awkward ergonomics of the keyboard / touchpad.

Do you believe that in Italy 9i with 4090 and 32GB of RAM is around 5600€? I'd like to ask Lenovo why...

actually on the website now I'm deciding between the legion 7i with 4090 and 2tb storage 32gb ddr for 2900 Or the legion 9 with 4080 2tb storage 32gb ddr for 3100 HELP please ! huge purchase for me and it being a bit portable is part of the decision too

Hii sir can you please help in between the two laptops which one I should buy: *Asus Zephyrus Gu603 G-16* Intel *13th Gen Core i7-13620H* *16" 1920x1200 165Hz WUXGA* display *16GB RAM* *512GB PCIe 4.0 NVME SSD* Nvidia GeForce *RTX 4060 w/ 8GB DDR6* Wi-Fi 6E + Bluetooth 5.2 Backlit keyboard Windows 11 home Rs. 499,000pkr/- USD: $1790 OR *ASUS ROG Strix G614* 2023 edition Intel *13th Gen Core i7-13650HX* *16" 1920x1200 165Hz WUXGA* display *16GB DDR5 RAM* *512GB PCIe 4.0 NVME SSD* Nvidia GeForce *RTX 4060 w/ 8GB DDR6* Wi-Fi 6E + Bluetooth 5.2 Backlit keyboard Windows 11 home Rs. 469,000pkr/- USD: $1686

Could you test the laptop with cities skylines 2 ?

its about a $2000 difference here in Australia between the 7i and 9i so ya not worth it

Seems like you're better off finding you a 4080 laptop with good ram speeds and at least 32gigs.

they took away some key nice features away from 7i to accommodate the 9i

Super 🎉
