The Lenovo Legion Pro 7i has looked the same visually for years now, and the just-released Legion Pro 7i Gen 9 is no exception. It's basically identical to last year's Legion Pro 7i Gen 8, which looked a lot like the previous version, and so on. However, that isn't necessarily a bad thing, because we reviewed the Legion Pro 7i Gen 8 last year and found it to be one of the best gaming laptops you can buy in the 16-inch form factor. Lenovo's design for the Legion Pro 7i might play it safe, but it's held up extremely well over time and the sharp edges still feel modern even in 2024. You're not considering the Legion Pro 7i Gen 9 for its design, though. The big changes this year are under-the-hood, and include an upgrade to Intel's 14th-generation chipset, a more color-accurate display, and an optional Nvidia GeForce RTX 4090 configuration.
