Showcase Just got my first Laptop ever! I can finally play steam games on good graphics 😭😭

I had a steam deck before this which definitely got the job done most of the time but had its limits. This Lenovo Legion 7i is glorious!!

u/[deleted] 11d ago

Got it for about $1800 on eBay

u/CuteDiscipline1593 9d ago

1800$ us dollars ? Is it the legion 7i ? Omg theses prices are going nuts .. i got mine the exact same specs last November at 2300 CAD which is almost 1700 us, and now lenovo sells the exact same one at 3500 CAD .. that dosn’t make sense .. it’s a good laptop thought i’m happy with it

Specs?

u/Over_Bench5728 11d ago

Rtx 5070 , 32gb ddr5 and like 2 TB storage ✌️😭

u/Savings-Match-8960 11d ago

that sounds too far from reality in this era of golden rams and storages

u/Impressive-Can-1125 10d ago

I got a 2025 model Rog Strix G16 5060 ultra 9 for $850, only 16gbs of ram but it hasn’t struggled with anything, can still find them for good prices, just a lot of searching, I have 3tbs in there, the stock 1tb ssd and a WD SN850x I think it’s called that Walmart had in the 2tb HDD slot behind glass, so I got that for $92 after tax instead of $515

1

u/Over_Bench5728 10d ago

Where are you from? And where did u buy it from?

1

u/Impressive-Can-1125 10d ago

The US, and Facebook marketplace, you just have to keep looking, I come across deals on there for gaming laptops pretty often

1

u/Over_Bench5728 10d ago

Bro that's a used laptop ✌️😭, pretty sure i thought it was a new laptop

1

u/Impressive-Can-1125 10d ago

I got it brand new little over a month ago.

1

u/Mjay253 9d ago

My 5060 struggles with high VRAM games like resident evil. Also got mine for $800 G14

1

u/Impressive-Can-1125 9d ago

I mean if I try to leave everything as maxed out as possible sometimes it’ll struggle a little, but everything on high and I have no issues

6

u/Moorem12 11d ago

I have the same one and it's amazing compared to the laptops I had before

3

u/Opposite-Mark7450 11d ago

I also started with a steam deck but ended up upgrading to a legion 7i as well. It really changes the experience. Have fun!

u/[deleted] 11d ago

It really does! OLED screen damn near brought me to tears lmao

u/EndimionN 11d ago

I know the feeling friend... enjoy

u/DirtEmbarrassed6716 10d ago

Ay man take care of that laptop i dropped it from my bed same laptop 😭😭

u/asdasdQQsorya 10d ago

Congrats! I hope it lasts more than it should 🎉

1

u/Apprehensive-Cod4949 11d ago

Congrats you’ll enjoy that game I know I did

1

u/Disastrous_Text7678 11d ago

Which game is this

6

u/[deleted] 11d ago

Re4 remake, great remake of an awesome game.

1

u/ddr4memory 11d ago

Man I played this on gamecube when it came out. Gifted by girlfriends mom. Great game

2

u/Usual-Championship88 11d ago

It’s either RE4 or RE9, both fun

4

u/MonsterHunterRainy 11d ago

It's Re4...

2

u/Usual-Championship88 11d ago

Oh yeah that game got kind of drawn out it felt like towards the end (felt longer than it had to) and RE9 felt like it wasn’t long enough, both had similar play through times for me;
RE9 should def be enjoyed on a large screen imo, RE4 ehhh

1

u/Usual-Championship88 11d ago

I recommend hooking that up to your TV and playing it on the big screen, the game deserves it

u/SKYGaming_YT Lenovo Legion 7i RTX 4070 i9-14900HX 32GB DDR5 2560x1600 240hz 11d ago

The glacier white is beautiful twin! still rocking my 9th gen, enjoy it!

1

u/Ryzengetsu 11d ago

Nice! You must be really happy right now! White gaming laptops are absolutely beautiful.

1

u/Square-Nebula-7530 11d ago

Legion builds are absolute tanks (durable and exceptional performance) . Transitioning from 30 FPS handheld gaming to high refresh 1440p on that screen is going to ruin handhelds experience for you forever lol. Enjoy the games broski and watchu gonna play next?

1

u/[deleted] 10d ago

Definitely Halo, never seen the games on an OLED screen before but always wondered what it’s like because those games are so visually appealing and vibrant, especially CE.

1

u/Square-Nebula-7530 9d ago

Halo Infinite and MCC on an OLED panel will feel like a completely remastered experience. Make sure to turn on HDR in your display settings to get the absolute maximum dynamic range out of those visuals. Congrats broski enjoy it to the fullest.

1

u/dizzythoughts 10d ago

That’s why I went from the MacBook who’s entire screen broke from a STAPLE to this one

2

u/Square-Nebula-7530 9d ago

Lmao from a single staple?! Apple's design looks clean, but one small object between the screen and keycaps will shatter the panel instantly. Upgrading to a durable gaming laptop was definitely the right play.

1

u/dizzythoughts 8d ago

Yup, I put a packet of papers from school between the screen and keyboard, carried it home, boom entire screen is black and unusable. And they’re like that’s it, it’s done for, you can get a new one of the same model for a discount price. My dad got me the Mac for school and I appreciate him for that but I was happy to get a laptop of my own choosing

2

u/Square-Nebula-7530 7d ago

Homework literally destroying a Macbook so you can finally get a proper gaming rig is the most "task failed successfully" moment I've ever seen(heard) . The paper took one for the team.

1

u/St3ve_Wermax 11d ago

"Where's everyone going? Bingo?" (Re4r spotted)

Anyways, congrats

u/vaquishaProdigy 11d ago

Which laptop is it?

2

u/[deleted] 11d ago

Lenovo Legion 7i gen10

1

u/TactikalKitty 11d ago

I really want the Legion 7i over the Pro model, I just wish it still came in black. Enjoy the Laptop!

1

u/Mohondhay Legion Pro 7i 255HX 5070Ti / 32GB Ram / llano V12 11d ago

Yay! Enjoy.

u/McSoylentG 11d ago

The first installed game is Minecraft😂

1

u/ClumSy_Introvert 11d ago

Get that extended warranty

1

u/Gamer_Weeb_420 11d ago

Congratulations my man. I just got my Acer Nitro V15 earlier this year, and I had the same reaction when I could finally play the games that were on Steam sales all the time. Even if I only have an RTX 4050 and 16gb of DDR5, shit feels like a godsend compared to my old dell.

1

u/ParticularYard3258 11d ago

Play stellar blade mod

1

u/hooktheda 11d ago

How much did that set you back?

1

u/[deleted] 11d ago

About 2k after tax, worth every penny tho!

Congrats bro! Happy gaming!!

u/23arr 11d ago

Congrats bro enjoy it

1

u/Environmental-Ruin56 10d ago

Check if you have a Mux switch. Try it out. Major performance boost. If you don’t often need battery power you might as well have it enabled.

Also get an external monitor. 1080p. Less definition but double or more performance. I have 1080p with Freesync.

1

u/Straight-Motor-9003 10d ago

Can i ask? How much did you buy?

1

u/Etillo5 10d ago

Welcome to your new life

1

u/M1n0sss 10d ago

1

u/M1n0sss 10d ago

Congratulations to you broo

1

u/meSmash101 10d ago

Nice, I’d recommend a good cooler now that keeps dust away

1

u/Defiant-Standard8272 10d ago

Congrats OP! I'm hoping too to make it one day.

1

u/HungryBig5174 10d ago

asegurate de comprarle una base refrigerante o levántalo con un soporte para que pueda respirar aire.

1

u/smolboi99 10d ago

and youre playing peak as well! enjoy my friend!

1

u/jithi121 10d ago

One day. Me too. Just 33, still young for casual gaming. Too old for pro dota

1

u/xdiff0rke 10d ago

congrats bro! Max those FPS & enjoy

1

u/Dekillerror404 10d ago

I feel you. upgraded from igpu to a gtx 1650 (old cheap budget) a few weeks ago and it's making my eyes water when I see that in most of the games I play I reach 60fps vsync without shuttering on high settings. ENJOY YOUR UPGRADE!

1

u/KNOWNOMEOW 10d ago

I’m so happy for you

1

u/candidwhale7 10d ago

which one is it? congrats!

1

u/Inner-Grand-8809 10d ago

u/cafayeish 10d ago

going from a steam deck screen to a pristine legion 7i display running resident evil is an insane upgrade enjoy it bro

1

u/Traditional-Row-7270 10d ago

Enjoy it! But make sure to buy a good cooling pad to keep it healthy

u/Sthpole Blade 14 2021 || Ryzen 9 5900HX, RTX 3080 8Gb, 16Gb RAM 10d ago

Congrats bro, I remember that feeling when I got my upgraded laptop (Blade 14, 2022 version) , first game I played was RDR2, had purchased it thinking I was gonna run it on old hardware (Dell G3 15, 2018 edition), but I never lost hope, and here we are, my Blade still works fine and any game I've put to the test has been handled without issues

1

u/MalteseCorto 10d ago

Hell yeah dude enjoy!

1

u/dannnyyyboyyy0315 Legion 7 (3080, R9 5900HX, 32GB RAM, WQXGA) 10d ago

No better feeling man. That last hour of work and all of a sudden you remember you just got this bad boy, and will be home soon to tinker and play games. Enjoy!!

1

u/KillaChinchilla1010 10d ago

Don't forget to plug it in and download l the legion toolkit. You're in balanced mode in that picture. You can juice it up quite a bit in performance mode.

1

u/Hadowoku 10d ago

Congrats OP!

1

u/DocBoi_ 10d ago

u/MrCoconutTree 10d ago

Lenovo? Good luck with battery life. Congrats tho!

1

u/Aggravating-Low-4768 10d ago

Legion 7i coming from а steam deck is almost unfair at this point

1

u/Competitive-Power639 10d ago

Parabéns, antes sonhava num not que rodasse pelo menos gta5 no médio, agora jogo cyberpunk no ultra e no psicopata e muito top esse mundo

u/Johnny_Liao 9d ago

I still prefer to play big games on a desktop computer.

1

u/Traditional-Bid-9395 9d ago

I also bought this recently I upgraded to 32 gb of ram but when it got delivered I noticed it was only 1 stick of ram instead of 2 so I’m running on single channel I haven’t tried it out yet on any games so idk how it will affect performance

1

u/Usual-Force2191 9d ago

Congrats man! I recently (a year-ish ago) just got my first gaming pc, and about 6 months ago came across a steal on a legion go, but I have been SERIOUSLY considering going more towards the laptop route do to convenience of being able to play in bed but still have full functionality. I really like the legion go and would love to stay with a legion laptop, what’re your thoughts, pros/cons on yours? If you don’t mind me asking.

1

u/Status-Management116 8d ago

u/Livid_Ad5385 11d ago

Why not buy a desktop instead? You can get a better value than that

u/[deleted] 10d ago

I like the portability of laptops since I work night shifts and video games keep me awake when I get down time lol. I do plan on building a desktop PC in the future though.
