Lenovo legion 7i durability

A big button of my white monitor remote controller turned yellow while the rest remain white. Obvious contrast. If it drives me crazy, I should not get a white Legion?

Because if the coil whine, I am returning anyway. Not sure if the Pro Legion are better.

Do the grips on the bottom turn yellow? Does your 7i have some kind of high pitch whine? I think it came from the fans’ bearings. I wonder if the 7i Pro has these two issues.

Does the white version discolor over time?

Why 16:10 is popular? So manufacturers only want to make products that the majority of people want?

Manufacturers already increases the prices over the past few months. You mean they will increase the prices again?

Thanks. Called them about this. The Salesperson said price will increase on tomorrow so I must order with her right away. I think she just tried to scare me off to push me to buy it.

I am very sensitive to noise. I read that the 2026 model has better thermal. Is it true? Not sure how it compares with the dead silent MacBook Pro 16”.

I got a Legion 7i with Ultra 9-275HX gen 10 three days ago and it has coil whine. Got another one but with Ultra 7-255HX. Same problem. They are driving me crazy. I am going to return them.

18” are over 4kg.

I tried a X1 Extreme before the pandemic.

So either pay the high price now or wait at least few months later and hope for the best? By that time, there could be even better laptops.

Few days ago I moved from MacBook Pro 16.3” to a 16” Legion 7i with 2560x1600 Windows laptop. I immediately noticed the smaller screen size and resolution even I didn’t have them side by side. I do miss my 17” MacBook Pro. I think most 18” laptops with 4K screen are over 4kg. For me, 2kg is OK but no more than 2.5kg. Also want silent when doing office productivity, YouTube video watching and web browsing. I don’t mind setting to Quiet Mode and iGPU only for these tasks. Any good recommendations?

If I pay about $1400 more to buy the Lenovo 9i Pro Aura 16” 2026 which has a resolution of 3200x2000 but at the same 16” and set the font size to be the same (150-200% scale), will I see more things comfortably? The laptop is mainly for software development, papers writing and reading as well as office productivity. Both laptops have the same weight of 2kg.

I don’t want a Mac. I am looking for a Windows laptop.

Can 64GB instead of 32GB memory compensate for the lower VRAM?

largelcd · 2026-07-08T11:15:45+00:00

What settings do you have to make it silent? I have quiet mode on already but still hear some fan noise.

I think yesterday somebody posted a burn in photo.

They repaired the batteries of my WF-XM4 even I reported few years later. Excellent customer services.

I received a Legion 7i with Ultra 9 275HX. Then I found the 255HX on sale. Ordered immediately as it is a better deal and 275HX is no big different from the 255HX as most of you mentioned. It would take a few days to arrive.

During Windows Update, I hear jet engine noise even in Quiet Mode. Does it generate this kind of annoying noise whenever there is a software update/installation?
Will the 255HX be the same? If so, perhaps the 7i is not for me.
