![]() ![]() Nothing hinders you from upgrading the Tower 7i, and if anything, Lenovo encourages you to expand on the current design. Open for upgrades Jacob Roach / Digital Trends The good news is that you’re free to swap out the fans if you want, so you can add a little more flair to the build. As it stands now, the attractive GPU stands out in a way I don’t think Lenovo intended. A couple of RGB fans would go a long way toward making the Tower 7i feel more cohesive. Unfortunately, that attractive lighting is lost is a sea of nothingness. Frankly, I’m bummed Lenovo doesn’t sell this as a separate GPU. ![]() ![]() It lights up and illuminates the heatsink, and it looks fantastic. The only RGB lighting comes from the logo on the GPU, as well as a really nice cutout on the back shield of the GPU. If anything, the Tower 7i could use a little extra lighting. It’s not over-the-top when it comes to RGB, either. Jacob Roach / Digital Trends / Digital Trends The sandblasted finish feels classy, and you get a full view into the machine with the tempered glass side panel. You’re getting a standard mid-tower design, which is elevated by some subtle curving around the edges. ![]() The Tower 7i is a breath of fresh air because it’s simple. Prebuilt gaming desktops haven’t caught up to a custom-built PC in terms of design, unless you opt for an expensive, boutique option like the Falcon Northwest Tiki or Origin Neuron. Understated with sparks of flair Jacob Roach / Digital Trends The Asus ROG Strix GA35 with an RTX 3090 and Ryzen 9 5900X is around the same price as the Tower 7i.Īll of that is to say: the Legion Tower 7i is more expensive than the last generation, but it’s not unreasonably priced. It’s important to remember that last-gen desktops are still selling for quite a bit, too. The MSI Aegis RS 13 is around $300 cheaper, but it has a slightly weaker processor. A similarly configured Alienware Aurora R15 runs $600 more than the Tower 7i. The Lenovo Legion Tower 7i may be more expensive than the previous generation, but it’s still not overpriced. However, I would have liked to have seen an option for Intel’s Core i7-13700KF, saving some money without changing much about gaming performance. You get a much more capable GPU, as well as a big bump to the CPU. What used to be a desktop that topped out around $2,100 now goes for $3,350. Unsurprisingly, that means the Lenovo Legion Tower 7i is more expensive as a result. ![]()
