MagyarLenovo Legion Pro 7 16 laptop review: Full gaming power thanks to RTX 4090
This Legion Pro 7 16IRX8H is not only one of the strongest but also one of the most expensive gaming notebooks. You currently have to pay at least 4,500 Euros for the combination of the Core i9-13900HX, GeForce RTX 4090, 32 GB RAM (2x 16 GB DDR5-5600), 2 TB mass storage (2x 1 TB NVMe SSD) and 240 Hz display (2660 x 1600 pixels). Every gamer has to decide whether or not he wants to support the manufacturer's current pricing policy, which seems to be unrelated to any inflation.

Note: The manufacturer may use components from different suppliers including display panels, drives or memory sticks with similar specifications.
Competitors of the Legion Pro 7 include other high-end gamers with RTX 4090 from the 16- and 17-inch range, like the Razer Blade 16, the XMG Neo 16, the Asus Strix Scar 17 and the MSI Titan GT77. The cheaper sister model with RTX 4080 also appears in the tables as a comparison device.

* ... smaller is better
No matter if brightness (~470 cd/m²), contrast (~1,230:1) or color accuracy (avg. DeltaE 1.6): The measured values more than do justice to an IPS panel. The response time is also pleasing, not least thanks to the 240 Hz refresh rate. There is room for improvement in the color space. Although 100% sRGB is sufficient for a gaming notebook, around 72% AdobeRGB coverage and 70% DCI-P3 are a bit poor for professional users. Other competitors deliver more here (see table).
Overall, the display makes a good to a very good impression, although it is not technically up to the level of a mini-LED panel like in the Razer Blade 16 and MSI Titan GT 77.
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 | ||
|---|---|---|
| 4.6 ms ... rise ↗ and fall ↘ combined | ↗ 1.6 ms rise |  |
| ↘ 3 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 0.1 (minimum) to 240 (maximum) ms. » 11 % of all devices are better. This means that the measured response time is better than the average of all tested devices (21.8 ms). | ||
| ↔ Response Time 50% Grey to 80% Grey | ||
| 10.9 ms ... rise ↗ and fall ↘ combined | ↗ 5.1 ms rise |  |
| ↘ 5.8 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 0.2 (minimum) to 636 (maximum) ms. » 18 % of all devices are better. This means that the measured response time is better than the average of all tested devices (34.3 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 18694 (minimum: 5 - maximum: 3846000) Hz was measured. | |||
Performance
The Legion Pro 7 16IRX8H is in the absolute upper league in terms of price and performance. The 16-incher offers enough reserves to be well-prepared for new games in the coming years. While the CPU and GPU are soldered (which is usual in modern laptops), the working memory and mass storage could be replaced if required.
Test conditions
The preloaded Lenovo Vantage software contains many options for customizing the system. The Heat mode and the optional Hybrid mode are particularly relevant. With the exception of the battery measurements (Balanced with graphics switching), all our tests were performed in Performance mode with a permanently active dGPU.
| Silent Mode | Balanced Mode | Performance Mode | |
| CPU PL1 (HWiNFO) | 55 W | 80 W | 130 W |
| CPU PL2 (HWiNFO) | 65 W | 119 W | 185 W |
| Noise (Witcher 3 @FHD/Ultra) | ~37 dB(A) | ~47 dB(A) | ~53 dB(A) |
| Performance (Witcher 3 @FHD/Ultra) | 40 FPS (Locked) | ~160 FPS | ~200 FPS |
Processor
As expected, the Core i9-13900HX delivers very similar performance to the RTX 4080 model. The performance of the Raptor Lake chip is also quite constant over longer periods (see Cinebench loop). In general, the CPU performs slightly above the 13900HX average determined so far. Intel combines 8 performance cores with Hyper-Threading and 16 efficiency cores without HT, which means 32 parallel threads in total.

System performance
The system power is also at a very high level: 8,158 points in PCMark 10 are a few percent higher than the result of the RTX 4080 model. The benchmark results of the DDR5 working memory are also impressive in comparison.

DPC latencies
The test configuration does not perform quite as well in terms of latencies. According to the LatencyMon tool, the 16-incher is not suitable for real-time audio and video editing in its state of delivery due to extremely high values. Interestingly, the latencies were significantly lower in the RTX 4080 version.

Mass storage
Instead of installing a larger SSD, Lenovo simply uses two 1-TB SSDs from the cheaper Legion model, which completely occupies the M.2 slots. The popular Samsung PM9A1 achieves very good results but often has to deal with stronger fluctuations or drops during longer periods of load - as in the case of the Pro 7. However, this phenomenon also affects NVMe SSDs from other manufacturers (see graph).
