Eco-friendly RGB system with ambient effects on the keyboard and exterior design that sync with the content displayed on the screen.

The Lenovo Legion TrueStrike keyboard has also been optimized with curved keys for deeper travel than the previous generation. New WASD Force Sensor technology with optional interchangeable keys5 helps players energize their characters as more pressure is applied to the keys.

Beneath the laptops' sleek lid is pure power. Now visually thinner than the previous generation, measuring up to just 19mm (0.75″) thick, the Lenovo Legion 7i and 7 are a feat of engineering with the latest in graphics, processors and storage in a 2.5kg (5.5lb) chassis. It is a very powerful machine with very good autonomy, with a 99.99 Whr battery – the largest battery in the world for a 16″ gaming laptop1 – and USB Type-C fast charging of up to 135 Whr.6

And as the world's first gaming laptops with a 16″ WQXGA display,4 the Lenovo Legion 7i and 7 come with a slightly taller aspect ratio – 16:10 – with peak brightness up to 1,250 nits and DCI-P3 calibrated color space coverage, high dynamic range, and TÜV certification for eye protection.8 Gamers can choose from three panel options at refresh rates up to 240 Hz (165 Hz standard) for everyday use, a much more comfortable eSports experience where every frame counts, or cinema-quality images with truly amazing color accuracy.
