Lenovo Legion Pro 7 16IRX8H Review: High-end RTX 4080 performance powerhouse

A generational leap. Lenovo has equipped the Legion Pro 7 gaming laptop with the latest Intel 13th gen processor and the second-best Nvidia RTX 40 Series Laptop GPU, the RTX 4080. We evaluate Lenovo’s latest high-end gaming laptop and see what’s improved from the previous generation.

With a retail price close to €4,000, the Lenovo Legion Pro 7 16IRX8H, which we now have for review, cannot really be considered a bargain. However, this price offers you a Core i9-13900HX, 32 GB of DDR5-5600-RAM (2x 16 GB), and a 1 TB PCIe Gen 4×4 NVMe M.2 2280 SSD.

The Nvidia GeForce RTX 4080 Laptop GPU with 12 GB GDDR6 VRAM takes care of demanding graphics tasks. The matte IPS display in a 16:10 format with a resolution of 2560 x 1600 pixels is rated to achieve 100% sRGB and 500 nits of peak brightness. Lenovo has equipped the 240 Hz panel with support for Nvidia G-Sync in addition to AMD FreeSync, which is a good thing.

Windows 11 Home comes installed as the operating system of choice.

Note: The manufacturer may use components from different suppliers including display panels, drives or memory sticks with similar specifications.

The chassis design is quite similar to that of its predecessor, the Legion 7 16ARHA7 with some slight changes such as the redesigned side and rear vents. Even with these changes, the chassis design remains good. The stability and strength of the hinges, which can open to a full 180°, is also above average for the class.

The overall quality of feels great. The metal lid, in particular, looks classy thought it can quickly become a fingerprint magnet. The look is mostly unobtrusive when switched off save for the Legion marking on the lid.

During operation, however, the Legion 7 Pro can be immediately recognized as a gaming laptop owing to the RGB-illuminated keyboard and the LED strip at the front.

At about 2.7 kg, the 16-inch Legion 7 Pro tends to be one of the heavier laptops in its category (the Razer Blade 16 weighs 300 g less). Similarly, the 2.6 cm height is about 4 mm more than the Blade 16, which should theoretically help with better cooling.

Ports

The Legion 7 Pro impresses with its abundance of ports. A total of six USB ports are available (2x Type-C, 4x Type-A), which is not the case often even in high-end gaming laptops. Three external displays can be connected thanks to the HDMI 2.1-out and DisplayPort-out support on the two USB Type-C ports. Also impressive is the 140 W power delivery via USB Type-C.

An RJ-45 port, and an audio jack complete the port selection. Presence of a physical webcam shutter switch on the right side is a plus. The only downside in the Legion 7 Pro is the absence of a card reader.

Since the majority of the ports are located towards the rear of the device, both left and right handers will get their money’s worth when using a wired gaming mouse.

We did not find any discrepancies in Wi-Fi performance. The Legion Pro 7 achieved a throughput of 1,600 Mb/s at a distance of 1 m from our Asus ROG Rapture GT-AXE11000 reference router, which corresponds to very good transmission and reception. The Razer Blade 16 settles for a few 100 Mbps lesser throughput.

The quality of the webcam is somewhat above average. The 2 MP camera offers decent image sharpness and passable color accuracy, which is acceptable for a notebook (the standards here are very poor, unfortunately).

The scope of delivery includes a massive 800 g power supply that measures 18.5 x 8 x 2.5 cm, which is on expected lines for a 330 W model. A few information booklets come as standard.

Lenovo could have made disassembling the Legion 7 Pro more customer friendly. Even after removing all the housing screws, the base plate is so tight (especially in the rear) that there’s a fear of damaging the chassis if too much force is applied.

Due to this reason, and the fact that this a retail sample from the shop, we did not attempt opening the laptop for safety.

According to the manufacturer’s information in Germany, the Legion 7 Pro’s warranty can be extended to over three years with Premium Care.

The keyboard offers little room for complaint. The typical Lenovo-style keys with curved lower edges ensures a pleasant typing experience after some familiarization. Actuation and pressure point are quite good, though not exactly near the level of a mechanical keyboard.

The keyboard layout feels convincing in our opinion. Those who rely on arrow keys a lot can look forward to decent dimensioning. A full-fledged numpad is also available. The clear key labeling means that you can turn off the backlight during the day. Otherwise, the backlight offers a useful intensity and several adjustment modes.

The 12 x 7.5 cm smooth touchpad feels sufficient for a 16-inch device and is placed relatively far to the left. We did not find any issues with precision and gliding properties, which lends to a smooth operation.

The click areas near the bottom are very stable and can be easily triggered but sound quite loud and rickety.

The Legion 7 Pro’s 240 Hz WQXGA panel offers a high average luminosity of 469 cd/m², which should augur well for outdoor viewing. The competition also offers similar brightness levels, however.

The 1,278:1 contrast ratio is on similar lines as the Blade 16. However, the Razer flagship offers a higher color gamut coverage. The Legion Pro 7 can manage 100% sRGB but falls short when it comes to Adobe RGB and Display P3 coverage.

That being said, the Legion Pro 7 offers excellent color accuracy out-of-the-box thanks to X-Rite Pantone calibration.

The response times (~6 ms black to white) are on expected lines. The viewing angle stability usually depends on the IPS level, it seems to be relatively good from oblique positions.

Display Response Times

ℹ

Display response times show how fast the screen is able to change from one color to the next. Slow response times can lead to afterimages and can cause moving objects to appear blurry (ghosting). Gamers of fast-paced 3D titles should pay special attention to fast response times.

↔ Response Time Black to White
5.9 ms … rise ↗ and fall ↘ combined	↗ 2.2 ms rise
5.9 ms … rise ↗ and fall ↘ combined	↘ 3.7 ms fall
The screen shows very fast response rates in our tests and should be very well suited for fast-paced gaming. In comparison, all tested devices range from 0.4 (minimum) to 240 (maximum) ms. » 10 % of all devices are better. This means that the measured response time is better than the average of all tested devices (22.6 ms).
↔ Response Time 50% Grey to 80% Grey
12.3 ms … rise ↗ and fall ↘ combined	↗ 5.7 ms rise
12.3 ms … rise ↗ and fall ↘ combined	↘ 6.6 ms fall
The screen shows good response rates in our tests, but may be too slow for competitive gamers. In comparison, all tested devices range from 0.25 (minimum) to 636 (maximum) ms. » 17 % of all devices are better. This means that the measured response time is better than the average of all tested devices (35.6 ms).

Screen Flickering / PWM (Pulse-Width Modulation)

ℹ

To dim the screen, some notebooks will simply cycle the backlight on and off in rapid succession – a method called Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) . This cycling frequency should ideally be undetectable to the human eye. If said frequency is too low, users with sensitive eyes may experience strain or headaches or even notice the flickering altogether.

Screen flickering / PWM not detected

In comparison: 53 % of all tested devices do not use PWM to dim the display. If PWM was detected, an average of 19299 (minimum: 5 – maximum: 3846000) Hz was measured.

The present configuration puts the Lenovo Legion Pro 7 in the absolute high-end category, which means that you will have to cough up the pennies accordingly (we consider the current price level to be excessive, nevertheless).

In any case, this configuration offers enough power to sail through all kinds of workloads for years to come.

The Lenovo Vantage app comes preinstalled within which you can choose from several performance and GPU operating modes. You can also change performance modes via the shortcut Fn + Q.

We used the Performance mode for all our measurements together with active graphics switching that dynamically switches between the iGPU and the dGPU. A pure dGPU mode is also available (check screenshots below).

The table below illustrates the effect of different performance modes on the PL1/PL2 values and fan noise.

	Silent	Balanced	Performance
CPU PL1 (HWiNFO)	55 W	75 W	130 W
CPU PL2 (HWiNFO)	65 W	119 W	185 W
Noise (The Witcher 3)	39 dB(A)	43 – 46 dB(A)	49 – 55 dB(A)
Performance (The Witcher 3)	40 fps (Locked)	150 fps	180 fps

The Intel Core i9-13900HX is a performance monster. The 10 nm part offers eight performance cores with 2.2 GHz to 5.4 GHz clocks and hyperthreading support along with 16 efficiency cores clocked at 1.6 GHz to 3.9 GHz without hyperthreading, resulting in a total of 32 threads in parallel.

The lush 36 MB L3 cache and 55 W TDP further reaffirm that the Core i9-13900HX is a powerful chip.

However, our DiskSpd loop test proves strong performance fluctuations under continuous load. The competition does not seem to be affected by such heavy throttling.

With a maximum TGP of 175 W including Dynamic Boost, the RTX 4080 Laptop GPU is probably the most exciting component in the Legion Pro 7 from a gamer’s perspective. The specifications of this 4 nm part from Nvidia’s Ada generation are impressive on paper.

A total of 7,424 CUDA cores promise excellent performance. However, 12 GB of GDDR6 VRAM on 192-bit memory interface does not inspire much in 2023 — 16 GB of VRAM would have been more apt considering the requirements of today’s games and the high asking price. More information and performance analysis can be found in our dedicated Nvidia Ada RTX 40 GPU review analysis.

Despite not having particularly abundant VRAM, the RTX 4080 Laptop GPU wipes the floor with the AMD competition and its predecessors. Taking all 3DMark scores together, the RTX 4080 Laptop GPU is over 30% faster than the RTX 3080 Ti Laptop GPU and the RX 6850M XT from the previous generation Legions, which also operated at a high TGP.

* … smaller is better

In gaming, the RTX 4080 Laptop GPU has an even higher advantage as seen in the cumulative performance rating, especially against the RTX 3080 Laptop GPU and the RX 6850M XT. The CPU does have an influence on the framerates at 1080p resolutions, though.

A more meaningful comparison is seen when raytracing is activated and at QHD and 4K resolutions. We chose modern titles such as Spider-Man Miles Morales, Resident Evil Village, and Guardians of the Galaxy to illustrate the RTX 4080 Laptop GPU’s prowess at higher resolutions and settings.

On an average, the RTX 4080 Laptop GPU is about a third faster than a 175 RTX 3080 Ti Laptop GPU and about 60% faster than a 165 W RTX 3080 Laptop GPU in these tests.

Detailed performance comparisons are available in our extensive gaming benchmarks list.

Unlike the SSD and, to a lesser extent, the CPU, the GPU remains relatively stable over a long period of time. We see no drastic frame rate drops or inconsistencies in the 60-minute stress with The Witcher 3 at 1080p Ultra.

Not surprisingly, the high-end components on offer have high heat emissions and consequently, high noise. While the Legion Pro 7 is still reasonably quiet in idle with an average sound pressure level (SPL) of 28 dB(A), things get disturbingly loud without a headset while gaming in Performance mode with the SPL ranging from 49 to 55 dB(A).

The Balanced mode, which does not cause much of a performance deficit, results in a more bearable 43 to 46 db(A) SPL. The Razer Blade 16 comparatively remains quieter in all test conditions despite its lower height and weight.

While stressing with The Witcher 3 at 1080p Ultra, the underside of the Legion Pro 7 crosses the 50 °C in some places, which means this is not suitable for gaming on the lap. In idle, the top warms up to 40 °C, which is relatively high.

Even when it comes to heat emissions, the Razer Blade 16 seems to be performing better than the Legion Pro 7.

(-) The average temperature for the upper side under maximal load is 41 °C / 106 F, compared to the average of 33.8 °C / 93 F for the devices in the class Gaming.
(-) The maximum temperature on the upper side is 48 °C / 118 F, compared to the average of 40.4 °C / 105 F, ranging from 21.2 to 68.8 °C for the class Gaming.
(-) The bottom heats up to a maximum of 49 °C / 120 F, compared to the average of 43.2 °C / 110 F
(±) In idle usage, the average temperature for the upper side is 32.7 °C / 91 F, compared to the device average of 33.8 °C / 93 F.
(-) Playing The Witcher 3, the average temperature for the upper side is 43.3 °C / 110 F, compared to the device average of 33.8 °C / 93 F.
(-) The palmrests and touchpad can get very hot to the touch with a maximum of 42 °C / 107.6 F.
(-) The average temperature of the palmrest area of similar devices was 29 °C / 84.2 F (-13 °C / -23.4 F).

A combined stress test with FurMark and Prime95 is not very helpful as the GPU shows throttling. During The Witcher 3 stress, the CPU and GPU heat up to an average of 75 °C, which is not problematic.

A highlight of the Legion Pro 7 is Lenovo’s collaboration with Harman that results in good-sounding speakers. Our audio analysis does not show any glaring weaknesses in any frequency range, which is a rarity in notebooks — the Blade 16 has to make do with weaker bass, for example.

External speakers or a headset are not absolutely necessary given the high maximum volume level of 82 dB(A).

As is the case with high-end gaming laptops, the Legion Pro 7 has a high power requirement despite graphics switching even in idle mode. With 18 to 32 W (including short load peaks) consumption in idle, the Legion Pro 7 is nearly 20% above the class average.

We record a consumption of 130 W from the wall under average load (3DMark06) and 320 W under maximum stress. During gaming, you can expect the consumption to hit about 260 W, which is slightly more than that of the Blade 16 (242 W).

Lenovo equips the Legion Pro 7 with a powerful 99 WHr battery, which can only be somewhat useful due to the suboptimal energy management. Up to 6.5 hours of run time is possible in idle with no other task running and at minimum brightness. This is a modest result compared to the Blade 16’s 9.5 hours.

In everyday use, such as internet surfing over Wi-Fi at a reduced brightness of 150 nits, we could manage to get 5 hours of run time.

The combination of a Core i9-13900HX and GeForce RTX 4080 offers an impressive level of performance that can easily yield 40 or even 60 fps in most modern games at 4K Ultra The bright, sharp, and color-accurate 16:10 QHD 240 Hz display makes for an immersive viewing experience. The hardware is housed in a stylish chassis that feels premium and scores well in terms of workmanship and stability. Other aspects such as sound quality, input devices, and connectivity also seem to be near-perfect. However, prospective buyers of the Lenovo Legion 7 Pro 16IRX8H will have to keep in mind the high emissions. The 16-inch laptop gets quite warm under load unless the Silent profile is selected — we find the Balanced profile to be the best compromise between performance and emissions for everyday use. We would have also liked to see longer run times with from the 99 WHr battery. One of the top competitors for the new Lenovo Legion 7 Pro is the Razer Blade 16, which actually is quieter and cooler while offering similar levels of performance. Additionally, the Blade 16 is somewhat ligther and thinner as well in comparison. That being said, the Lenovo Legion 7 Pro 16IRX8H impresses overall, and appropriately deserves our “Very Good” rating. The tested Lenovo Legion Pro 7 16IRX8H is available at campuspoint.de for €3,599. (RRP: €3,999).

Pricecompare Editor of the original article: Florian Glaser – Managing Editor Gaming Laptops – 558 articles published on Notebookcheck since 2009 I discovered my interest in computers in my childhood, growing up with MS-DOS and Windows 3.1 in the early 1990s. I was especially fascinated with computer games, even from an early age. From Monkey Island through Lands of Lore to Doom, I tried every game I could get my hands on. I have been working for Notebookcheck since 2009 with my focus mostly being on high-performance gaming laptops. Translator: Vaidyanathan Subramaniam – Managing Editor – 1731 articles published on Notebookcheck since 2012 Though a cell and molecular biologist by training, I have been drawn towards computers from a very young age ever since I got my first PC in 1998. My passion for technology grew quite exponentially with the times, and it has been an incredible experience from being a much solicited source for tech advice and troubleshooting among family and friends to joining Notebookcheck in 2017 as a professional tech journalist. Now, I am a Lead Editor at Notebookcheck covering news and reviews encompassing a wide gamut of the technology landscape for Indian and global audiences. When I am not hunting for the next big story or taking complex measurements for reviews, you can find me unwinding to a nice read, listening to some soulful music, or trying out a new game.
