I'm not an expert on this laptop, so please let me turn you over to PC Gamer's own Hardware Editor-In-Chief Dave James, who reviewed the Legion Pro back in May and called it "a real solid slab of gaming laptop goodness" before scoring it with a whopping 87%.

"It's robust, feels dense, and is the most powerful and performant of all the new notebooks we've been testing in this generation," Dave said. "It may feel like a classic big gaming laptop, but it's still got some tricks up its sleeve which make it a great modern gaming laptop."
Among the pros of the Legion, Dave notes its stylish chassis, excellent power management options, and its "glorious" OLED screen that feels "feels pleasingly bright in a well-lit springtime office" with "pin-sharp contrast."
Performance? Yes. "This is outright the most performant RTX 5080-toting gaming laptop I've tested so far," Dave gushed. "Lenovo has tuned its system to the point where it genuinely delivers on frame rates. That's even true when we put it up against the RTX 5090 in the Razer Blade 16."
There are a few downsides to the Legion, however. Dave calls it a "big boi" laptop, because it's not exactly what you'd call slim, and even with the hefty sale, it's a pricey one. The battery life is also what Dave describes as a "major let-down," so I don't think you'll be able to stray far from the nearest wall outlet while gaming.
The pros far outweigh the cons, though, and if you're looking for high performance from a gaming laptop, we don't think you'll find better. You can read Dave's full Lenovo Legion Pro 7i Gen 10 review here.
