Lenovo Legion 7i performance
The Lenovo Legion 7i we reviewed is the version that uses an Intel Core i7-10875H processor and an NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2070 Super Max-Q 8GB GDDR6 GPU. The amount of RAM it uses is 32GB with 1TB SSD M.2 2280 PCIe NVMe storage space.
The amount of 32GB RAM is maximal so it can’t be added anymore. Meanwhile, there is still one slot for storage space to install a SATA 2.5 ″ HDD. So, the 1TB SSD storage space it carries, if it’s not enough, can still be expanded. The benchmark results are as follows.
