With the efforts of many manufacturers and the good response from the market, many friends wanted to release the machine. This time, the new product of Lenovo Legion Pro 7i is actually tested. On top of this, AI is introduced, including system performance optimization, to further enhance the gaming experience.It also has a TDP 235W super power consumption, and the continuous long-term use is not limited. Equipped with a 99.99 Whr battery, with more efficient display capability and power management, it can play for a longer time.Without further ado, let the editor and everyone take a look at this super new machine that is extremely attractive from appearance to performance and supporting facilities.

16-inch four-sided ultra-narrow bezel 240Hz variable refresh rate

Lenovo Legion Pro 7i is currently the most powerful gaming laptop of the brand, this time it is powered by Intel® Core™ i9-13900HX processor, NVIDIA® GeForce RTX™ 4080 discrete mobile graphics card, not to be ignored is that its 16-inch 2K screen (2560 x 1600) supports HDR, 240Hz variable refresh rate and Free-Sync/G-Sync anti-tearing technology for smooth gaming The screen can be completely reflected on the computer screen, even daily and professional applications can be operated more smoothly. The screen has a screen-to-body ratio of 93.6% (the ratio of the screen to the display area), achieving industry-leading beauty + ultra-narrow bezel. Users who prefer stronger configuration can upgrade to NVIDIA® GeForce RTX™ 4090 discrete mobile graphicsshow card.

Let’s take a look at the highlights of the fuselage first, and I have to mention its super domineering, but somewhat stylish and subtle fuselage design. The all-black machine surface with the word LEGION embodies Lenovo’s design language. With the next-generation hardware, the body can be made thinner and lighter, reversing the “gaming computer = big bull turtle = can’t be taken out of the street” a few generations ago. “the concept of. Even if it is handheld, the Legion Pro 7i looks the same as a professional business computer, and can be easily put into a general computer bag.

RGB lighting catches the eye without hurting it

Many portable computers have introduced RGB lighting effects, and Legion Pro 7i can be said to have a new look. First of all, notice the super RGB lighting effect of the keyboard. This keyboard is designed with full keys, and the Numkey on the right is very suitable for printers and professional graphics software users. The front of the fuselage is equipped with a light bar with a projection design, and the light is projected onto the desktop. Generally, users will not look directly at the light bar and feel too dazzling, and it is more stylish.

▲NUMKEY is most suitable for gamer users and professional software users

One-click overclocking is easy, AI helps manage processor resources

Players who love to play games, of course hope that the computer can give the maximum performance in different occasions and application environments. This machine is equipped with Lenovo Legion AI Engine+ technology. Its built-in LA AI independent chip can adjust the computer performance output in real time in response to the system sensor on the computer. You can open the built-in Lenovo Vantage software to adjust this function by yourself. It is more powerful than the built-in software of ordinary computers, and can manage and control every function of the body, such as performance, sound effects, power management, video cameras, and system upgrades. In the performance section, you can intuitively notice the current frequency and usage of the CPU and GPU. It can fully utilize the performance of the fuselage when it is connected to the power supply, and the indoor temperature and the temperature of the fuselage allow it.

▲The built-in Lenovo Vantage software is easy to use. It manages the settings of each hardware in the fuselage at one time. You don’t need to look around for apps, and you can overclock with one click on the home page.

▲ This machine can overclock the GPU up to 200MHz, and the fastest VRAM is 300MHz

Cooling system is powerful and not noisy

Lenovo Region Pro 7i has a ColdFront 5.0 cooling system. There is a large cooling plate covering the processor and graphics card at the same time. With hybrid cooling pipes, the large air intake and exhaust holes on the left and right sides provide strong cooling performance. Lenovo refers to this cooling system that allows 235W TDP (power consumption at FullLoad) to be used continuously for a long time without limitation. In the actual test of the editor, the 13th generation Intel® Core™ i9 processor and NVIDIA® GeForce RTX™ 4080 discrete graphics card dual powerful hardware, running the game “Cities Skylines” that consumes a lot of CPU and GPU at the same time. Users can notice the performance of the computer in the real-time performance dashboard. It can be seen that the GPU overclocking function is enabled when playing games. The processor frequency goes to 3.88GHz and the GPU frequency goes to 2.00GHz, and the game continues to play for more than 2 hours. Smooth game performance.

The screen with a refresh rate of 240Hz makes it possible to reflect the super smoothness of the graphics card on the screen. At this time, many users will be concerned regarding the noise of the computer fan. In the balance mode managed by AI, under the environmental test with a noise floor of 45 dB, the sound volume of the fan is 56 dB when it is running, which is not particularly noisy. Of course, you can change the power management to “performance mode” in the APP mentioned above. At this time, the computer will use up all resources. Under the same environment, the noise of its fan is regarding 61 dB when it is fully operating.


▲ Turning on the balance mode can make the fan operation sound stable, and the noise is only regarding 56 dB.

▲Users can also switch to “performance mode” by themselves, and the noise is regarding 61 dB.

High Rated Display Card

NVIDIA® GeForce RTX™ 40 series graphics cards have been significantly improved compared to the previous generation 30 series. If your computer is still 20 series, no matter the thickness or speed of the computer body, it reminds you that now is the best time to change it. NVIDIA on the host tested this time® The GeForce RTX™ 4080 is arguably the better value-for-money graphics card in flagship models. Score 18861 on the Time Spy test on 3D Mark.

▲In the case of no overclocking, the graphics card score still reaches 18861 points, which is regarding 12500 compared with the previous generation RTX 3080 mobile graphics card, which is a 50% increase

There is also a one-click overclocking in the Lenovo Vantage app, where advanced users can increase the clock frequency of the GPU and GPU memory separately. The computer is equipped with a shortcut key to restore the overclocking settings when it is turned on, so even if you encounter problems, you can easily restore the original state. Under overclocking, we scored 19506 points in the 3D Mark Time Spy test, and the display performance has been further improved.

▲In the case of overclocking using the official software, the 3D Mark graphics card score can reach 19506 points, which is almost equivalent to a desktop computer with an RTX 4070 Ti graphics card installed, but the difference is that the power consumption of the laptop is limited, and you can get This score is pretty good.

The machine should also take into account the situation of no power supply. Legion Pro 7i will automatically control the performance when using the battery, and AI will also turn off the overclocking function. After the actual test, I found that the AI ​​will keep the fan of the fuselage at a speed where no noise can be heard in a quiet environment, but it can still keep the game running smoothly for more than 30 minutes at 2K resolution. The advantage is that when you play in a coffee room or even in a library, the computer fan will not disturb others, and the game can be played normally. The performance of the RTX 40 series graphics card has been upgraded to this point, and it is unexpected that it has opened up an unexpected application scenario for gaming. The computer’s 99.99Whr battery is already the upper limit of the legal battery capacity of the laptop (it can be carried on the plane), and with more efficient display capabilities and power management, the machine will last longer.

▲When using battery power, the computer will immediately tighten the output, on the one hand, the game can be played for a long time, on the other hand, the fan noise can be further suppressed

Nahimic Audio sound effects + AI management Add a Bluetooth speaker to make a portable surround sound system

AI can also automatically adjust the sound output in different applications. This time Lenovo Legion Pro 7i is equipped with two 2W Harman super linear speaker systems, which can automatically adjust the subwoofer and vocal mid-frequency effects in response to different application scenarios such as computer games, music playback, and meetings. In the editor’s actual test, the human voice can get a particularly loud echo; when playing music, you can get a special sense of low frequency, and when playing games, you can turn on the surround sound system to allow you to distinguish the direction of footsteps on the battlefield.

▲This time, the speaker of the fuselage is loud and loud, simulating the normal use distance of the user. Measured at a position regarding 30cm away from the fuselage, the volume can reach 85 db, and the measured volume at the keyboard position is 96 db (noise floor is 45db) .

The computer also supports connecting to a Bluetooth speaker to create a surround sound field. You can put it behind you, and it can cooperate with the computer speaker to create a more realistic sound performance. I like this feature very much, because no matter when and where you go, for example In offices and hotel rooms, the portable surround sound system can be activated at any time.

The interfaces are all available and the placement is moderate

Lenovo Legion Pro 7i has a full range of interfaces, and most of the sockets including power, HDMI, and network connections are moved to the back of the machine, allowing you to use more space on both sides of the machine to control the mouse without being hindered by cables. game. There are USB-A sockets on the left and right sides of the fuselage to connect a wired mouse or other USB devices, and there is a USB-C 3.2 Gen 2 socket on the left side that supports DisplayPort 1.4 for easy connection to high-speed devices. There are also 2 USB-A 3.2 Gen 1 sockets on the rear of the fuselage, one of which is an Always-on 5V2A socket, so you can charge other devices with peace of mind when using it at home.

Summary: super performance + application + surround sound system

RTX 40 series launched, plus 13th Gen Intel® Core With the addition of the i9 processor, the actual performance of the machine is still significantly improved even compared with the previous generation model. The Lenovo Legion Pro 7i has more powerful heat dissipation and AI-assisted adjustment of computer performance, so that the computer can give users the maximum gaming performance when the environment allows. I have to mention that the sound effects of Nahimic Audio can achieve accurate tuning effects in different scenarios, and it is commendable to play surround sound easily with Bluetooth speakers. If you’re looking for the latest gaming PC, it’s well worth looking out for.
