The CPU that powers this laptop is the excellent Intel Core Ultra 9 275HX. This 24-core beast has eight performance cores and 16 efficiency cores, with max boost clocks of up to 5.4GHz. Overall, given the current state of the PC market, this is an excellent gaming laptop at a very enticing price, just $150 more than when we saw it in October last year. While those prices are a thing of the past (and unlikely to return soon), this is one of the best gaming laptop deals we've seen in some time.
While we haven't reviewed this specific model of Lenovo Legion laptop, we have reviewed its big brother, the Lenovo Legion Pro 7i Gen 10, which features many of the same specs and a few key differences. One of the most impressive aspects of this laptop is the OLED display. You're getting the same 16-inch OLED panel with 2560 x 1600 resolution, which performs very well in testing versus rivals, as you can see from our benchmarks below.
