"I Have To Survive For 24 Hours": The RawKnee Games Puts The New Lenovo Legion Pro 7i Through A Brutal All-Day Test

Imagine the scene: a brand new, top-of-the-line flagship gaming laptop arrives at your door. You unbox it, marveling at its aggressive design and RGB lighting. And then, disaster strikes. The power goes out for the next 24 hours. For YouTuber The RawKnee Games, this nightmare scenario became the ultimate real-world Lenovo Legion Pro 7i Review.

In a new video, Rawknee documents his “24-hour survival challenge,” where he’s forced to rely solely on Lenovo’s new beast to get through a full day of content creation, including video editing, recording, and, of course, intense gaming sessions. The result is one of the most authentic and grueling laptop tests you’ll ever see.

“I have to survive for 24 hours with just this gaming laptop,” Rawknee declares at the start of the challenge. “I can’t even charge this laptop. Will it survive?”

The video begins with the unboxing of the Legion Pro 7i, and Rawknee is immediately impressed. He praises the surprisingly slim design for a “pro” machine and geeks out over the extensive RGB lighting, which adorns the vents, the chassis, and even the Legion logo itself. “If there’s one thing I love, it’s RGB,” he admits. “My bedroom has looked like a nightclub for the past four years.”

But the real test begins when the power cuts out. With a full day of work ahead, Rawknee puts the laptop through the wringer. He starts his morning with research, praising the laptop’s “amazing” 16-inch 2K OLED display. Then, the “gaming bug” bites.

He fires up GTA 5: Enhanced Edition and Cyberpunk, and his jaw drops. The machine, powered by an Intel Core Ultra 9 processor and an RTX 5080 laptop GPU, handles the games on their highest settings with ease, pushing over 100 FPS even on battery power. “It literally doesn’t even feel like I’m playing on a laptop,” he says.

After a quick (and sneaky) recharge by unplugging his mom’s fridge, the challenge continues. Rawknee spends over an hour and a half editing a 4K video in Premiere Pro, noting the playback is perfectly smooth thanks to the processor’s dedicated performance cores. He then tests the laptop’s dedicated AI chip by using Photoshop’s Generative Fill, which he notes is incredibly fast.

Perhaps most impressively, he records a full Minecraft gameplay session in 2K using OBS, with his webcam running, all while the laptop remains cool and quiet. He credits Lenovo’s advanced ColdFront cooling system, which features three fans and an integrated Hyper Chamber. “I can’t either,” he says, when asking if viewers can hear the fan noise. “This fan isn’t making any noise.”

Throughout the day, he explores the laptop’s unique software, including the Legion Space app. He’s particularly impressed by the AI-powered “Game Clip Master,” a feature that acts like a personal cameraman, automatically recording highlight clips of eliminations and victories during his gaming sessions.

After a full day of editing, rendering, recording, and multiple gaming sessions, Rawknee delivers his final verdict after a three-hour Valorant session with friends.

“I’m telling you honestly. I have never experienced such laptop performance in my life,” he concludes, completely won over. The gaming laptop 24-hour challenge was a success.

Rawknee’s brutal real-world test proves that the Lenovo Legion Pro 7i is more than just a collection of impressive specs; it’s a reliable workhorse capable of handling the most demanding tasks a top-tier content creator can throw at it, even when the lights go out. Is this the ultimate gaming laptop of the year? After watching this video, it’s hard to argue against it.
