There's not much doubt that Nvidia is dominating the mobile GPU market as most laptop makers are equipping their gaming notebooks with graphics cards from the efficient RTX 4000 series. Nonetheless, fans of "Team Red" who are looking for a 16-inch machine with an AMD processor and GPU should now take a look at the steeply discounted 2022 Lenovo Legion 7.
Thanks to a respectable discount of more than $800 or 37% compared to the official list price, the Lenovo Legion 7 16 can now be ordered for just $1,409 including free shipping at Lenovo's official outlet store. This deal is for a new unit which features the AMD Ryzen 9 6900HX with 32GB DDR5 RAM as well as the AMD Radeon RX 6850M XT graphics card with 12GB GDDR6 VRAM.
The Lenovo Legion 7 also sports a large 2TB SSD and a 165Hz IPS panel with a QHD resolution of 2560 by 1600 pixels, 500 nits of brightness and full sRGB color space coverage. We thoroughly tested this exact Ryzen 9 configuration of the Lenovo gaming laptop and found that the 16-inch notebook sports a sleek chassis and decent keyboard in addition to a good-looking screen that is well-calibrated out of the box.
For reference, the AMD Radeon RX 6850M XT should be on par with an RTX 4070 Laptop in terms of performance. This turns the Lenovo Legion 7 into a noteworthy alternative for gaming laptop buyers in this particular price segment, especially since all-AMD notebooks are still somewhat of a rarity these days.
