Built Like A Tank, Lights Like A Disco! Meet The Beast Of A Gaming Laptop, Lenovo Legion Pro 7i 2025
Subscribe to our FREE The Lenovo Legion Pro 7i Gen 10 is among the latest gaming laptops to feature aggressively high-end specifications. It follows the current trend of adopting RTX 5000 series GPUs and next-generation AI processors. With this model, Lenovo continues to solidify its Legion Pro lineup as a primary choice for users seeking a premium gaming laptop experience. Unquestionable Specs Recently, we had the opportunity to test the Legion Pro 7i to assess its performance and build quality. From this brief experience, it is clear Lenovo's Legion lineup remains true to its reputation as a machine built for serious gaming, not just a laptop with attractive specs on paper. The Legion Pro 7i Gen 10 comes equipped with flagship-level specifications suitable for users demanding the best gaming performance from a laptop. Here are the specifications of the unit we tested : Intel Core Ultra 9 275HX NVIDIA RTX 5080 16GB ( upgradable ) 32GB RAM (16GB x 2, upgradable ) 16-inch OLED display with 2560 x 1600 resolution and 240Hz refresh rate 1TB PCIe Gen 5 SSD with two available slots ( upgradable ) 80Wh battery ( upgradable ) WiFi 7 support (Credit: Zikry/TRP) Solid Build Quality Without Compromise The physical build of the Legion Pro 7i is impressive. There is no screen wobble while typing. The screen opens up to 135 degrees and can be lifted with one hand without holding the base. The front edge of the display protrudes slightly when closed making it easy to lift with a single finger. The matte finish gives it a premium look but it easily attracts fingerprints. Avoid touching this laptop after eating greasy food or you will regret it. Sorry pisang goreng lovers, no movies and snacking for you. (Credit: Zikry/TRP) Size & Weight Within Expectations With a 16-inch display and weighing around 2.6 kilograms or 3.8 kilograms including the 400W charger the Legion Pro 7i falls into the heavier category for gaming laptops. However it is not the heaviest in its class and remains lighter than some competitors even with the large charger included. Keyboard and Stylish RGB Lighting The keyboard offers satisfying tactile feedback with a clicky response. While not exactly silent it is still pleasant to type on. Lenovo also offers optional ceramic keycaps for the WASD keys and additional switches. These are available as an (Credit: Zikry/TRP) The plastic touchpad feels slightly less premium, but it was rarely used throughout testing since a mouse is the preferred input method. Perhaps the upcoming Legion 9 will feature a glass touchpad. As for RGB lighting, there are three brightness levels and six lighting effects. The RGB lights are not limited to the keyboard but extend to the front rear and logo. All lighting can be customized via the Legion Space app. (Credit: Zikry/TRP) Audio Performance Surpasses Expectations The Legion Pro 7i comes equipped with front-facing speakers and dual bottom-side speakers. Bass is punchier and clearer than expected for a gaming laptop. Still, for serious gaming, headphones or earphones remain the better choice. For casual entertainment, the built-in speakers are more than sufficient. A simple decibel test was also conducted using the Decibel X app. Songs were played at both half and full volume with the microphone placed approximately 25 to 30 centimeters from the speakers. (From left: Volume 50%, Volume 100%) Ports & Cooling System Designed for Practicality (Credit: Zikry/TRP) Compared to previous generations, there are no longer any ports at the back. That area is now dedicated entirely to ventilation. Personally, ports at the back would be better for cable management but this update is practical as hands will not feel as much heat when using a mouse on the right side. Here is the new port arrangement: Right Side: 2x USB Type-A 5Gbps 3.2 Gen 1 3.5mm audio jack Physical camera switch 2.5Gb LAN Left Side: Power port HDMI 2.1 Thunderbolt 4 USB Type-C 4 40Gbps DisplayPort 2.1 USB Type-C 3.2 Gen 2 10Gbps DisplayPort 2.1 65 to 140W charging USB Type-A 3.2 Gen 2 Battery Life Acceptable, but Always Better Plugged In Battery performance is decent for light workloads and creative applications lasting about four hours under capped performance. However, for gaming, it is best to always keep it plugged in. This laptop is not for those prioritizing portability, but rather for users who understand the concept of performance over mobility. Without a charger, performance will naturally be limited as there is not enough power to fully drive the GPU. Performance Modes, Camera & Microphone (Credit: Zikry/TRP) Performance modes can be switched easily via the FN and Q shortcut between: Auto Mode (White) Silent Mode (Blue) Performance Mode (Red, only available when plugged in) Alternatively, settings can be customized through the Legion Space app. The 1440p camera is adequate but nothing exceptional. Performance in low-light conditions is acceptable. As for the microphone, its quality is basic and serves its purpose for standard use. Personal Feedback and Minor Drawbacks (Credit: Zikry/TRP) After two weeks of testing this high-end gaming laptop, there is little to criticize. However the OLED screen is more reflective than expected and is more comfortable to use in a dark room with curtains closed. Those accustomed to entry-level VA IPS or TN monitors, might need some adjustment time. In terms of performance, no issues arose. Most AAA games run smoothly on ultra settings with frame rates exceeding expectations. (Credit: Zikry/TRP) Expensive? Yes, Worth It? Also Yes The Legion Pro 7i can be Its price may seem steep, but as expected from a device in this class, it delivers premium build quality, consistent performance and unique features. Starting from RM14,112.11 (now RM11,872.01 with 15% off ) up to RM19,010.26 (fully upgraded), this is a purchase unlikely to disappoint. If not.. Hey at least you get RGBs?

Gartner: Worldwide PC Shipments Increased 4.4% In Q2
Worldwide PC shipments totaled more than 63 million units in the second quarter of 2025, a 4.4% increase from the second quarter of 2024, according to preliminary results by Gartner, Inc. 'In the second quarter of 2025, enterprise demand outpaced consumer demand, underpinned by Windows 11 migrations and pandemic-era desktop renewals, while consumer refreshes slowed as buyers deferred purchases,' said Rishi Padhi, Research Principal at Gartner. 'PC shipments are forecast to rise 2.4% in 2025, propelled by a tariff-driven front-loaded inventory surge in the first half of 2025 in the U.S., and ongoing Windows 11 replacement cycles in the rest of the world. In the second half of 2025, shipment growth is expected to plateau as vendors draw down stock in response to demand, potentially creating excess inventory by year-end. 'From a regional perspective, North America PC shipments declined 0.5% in the second quarter of 2025, compared to the same time last year,' said Padhi. 'The total PC market in APAC remained flat year-over-year, which is a slight improvement after consecutive quarters of decline. Meanwhile, the EMEA PC market grew 5.3% year-over-year. This illustrates signs of a modest recovery and stronger-than-usual seasonal demand. The Windows 11 refresh cycle remains a key driver, particularly for desktop replacements. However, the expected surge in new device purchases has been subdued, as many organizations opt to update existing PCs to Windows 11 rather than invest in new hardware.' There were no major changes in the top five vendor rankings worldwide in the second quarter of 2025 (see Table 1). Lenovo saw the strongest growth in global PC shipments among the top five vendors at 13.9% year-over-year.

This Lenovo all-in-one computer is 30% off even though Prime Day has ended
Even though Prime Day is already finished, there are still some excellent desktop computer deals on Amazon. If you don't have much space, or you just want to avoid clutter, you should take a look at the Lenovo V100 All-in-One PC. From its original price of $800, it's all the way down to just $560 following a 30% discount. The offer for this machine will only be available for a limited time though, so you need to act fast and proceed with the transaction immediately to secure the savings of $240. Why you should buy the Lenovo V100 All-in-One PC An all-in-one computer combines the monitor and CPU in one package, which is useful for desks with limited space, and helpful for people who want to eliminate some of the cables in their setup. The Lenovo V100 All-in-One PC is a great example with its 23.8-inch Full HD display that's small enough to fit in tight areas, but not too small to make it difficult to see what's on the screen. Behind it are the Intel N100 processor that's paired with Intel UHD Graphics and 32GB of RAM, which is the sweet spot for professionals, according to our guide on how much RAM do you need. It will serve as a solid productivity tool, whether you're planning to use the PC for work, school, or a business. The Lenovo V100 All-in-One PC ships with a 1TB SSD, which will provide ample storage space for your apps and files, and it comes with Windows 11 Pro pre-installed. The computer comes with a wireless mouse and a wired keyboard, and if you replace the latter with a wireless model, the only cable that you'll see on your desk is its power cord. The Lenovo V100 is an excellent all-in-one desktop computer, and it's a steal at its discounted price of $560 from Amazon. We're not sure how much longer the $240 discount on its sticker price of $800 will last though, so you shouldn't be wasting time if you're interested. Add the Lenovo V100 All-in-One PC to your cart and finish the checkout process as soon as you can, because once this chance to buy it at 30% off ends, you may have to wait a long time for the next one.

Intel quietly quadruples number of layoffs
A once-dominant tech company is undergoing another mass layoff. Intel is cutting thousands of jobs as it faces mounting pressure from tech competitors in artificial intelligence. The chipmaking giant — which makes processors that power millions of Dell, HP, and Lenovo computers — filed paperwork on July 10 indicating it would lay off nearly 2,400 employees in Oregon. That's a major escalation from just three days earlier, when the company filed WARN paperwork that said only 529 employees were losing their jobs. The Oregon layoffs are likely part of a broader belt-tightening at the tech giant. In mid-June, the company said it was hoping to slash about 15 to 20 percent of its workforce. With Intel employing 109,000 globally, that would mean 16,350 to 21,800 staffers would lose their job. Recently, Intel reported employing more than 20,000 workers at its plant in Hillsboro, Oregon. 'We are taking steps to become a leaner, faster and more efficient company,' the company told 'Removing organizational complexity and empowering our engineers will enable us to better serve the needs of our customers and strengthen our execution.' Intel declined to comment on which positions are most affected in the latest round of layoffs, but said the cuts were communicated with the utmost 'care and respect' for employees. This marks the second major round of job cuts at Intel in the past two years. In December, the company ousted its CEO while nixing 15 percent of its workforce in 2024. The job cuts are coming on the back of a turbulent period for the Silicon Valley stalwart. Intel has faced mounting competition from faster-moving rivals and criticism for falling behind in the AI race. Chipmakers like AMD, IBM, TSMC, and especially NVIDIA have surged ahead by investing aggressively in processors built specifically for artificial intelligence workloads. NVIDIA — whose chips now power nearly 80 percent of AI platforms — recently became the first company to ever reach a valuation over $4 trillion. Meanwhile, Intel's stock has slumped in the past year. Shares have fallen more than 32 percent, though the company has rebounded somewhat in 2025, with stock prices climbing 15 percent since January. Part of the resurgence comes from positive relationships with Washington. Intel is receiving billions in federal support through the bipartisan CHIPS and Science Act, which aims to restore domestic manufacturing of strategically critical technologies. The company is awaiting $6.9 billion in government grants to support factory builds and expansion in Oregon, Arizona, New Mexico, and Ohio. Intel has delayed construction of its Ohio factory until 2030. Still, the company's balance sheets are deep in the red. In the first quarter of 2025, Intel posted an $821 million loss. Its next earnings report is expected next week. Intel is joined by a list of tech and manufacturing giants that are slimming down their workforces because of AI.

Lighting up the city skyline and stopping passers-by in their tracks, the striking projection spanned 4,250 square metres across the skyscraper. The stunt marked research from Formula 1 revealing that 16.7 million Brits – almost a quarter of the population – now identify as F1 fans. It also highlighted a significant rise in female viewership of the sport, with 41 per cent of UK fans now being women.
