Lenovo Legion Pro 7 16 laptop review: Full gaming power thanks to RTX 4090

Expensive high-end fun.

The top model of the Legion Pro 7 is designed for maximum performance. Core i9-13900HX and GeForce RTX 4090 promise smooth frame rates on the internal WQXGA display even in demanding games. We put the 16-inch device through our test course.
Lenovo Legion Pro 7 16

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.

Since the case is identical in construction to the already tested variant, we will not go into the details about the chassis, the ports and the input devices again in this article. You can find the corresponding information in the linked review.

* ... 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

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. » 15 % of all devices are better.
This means that the measured response time is better than the average of all tested devices (20.5 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 0.165 (minimum) to 636 (maximum) ms. » 23 % of all devices are better.
This means that the measured response time is better than the average of all tested devices (32.1 ms).

Screen Flickering / PWM (Pulse-Width Modulation)

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 8350 (minimum: 5 - maximum: 343500) 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

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.

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).

Gaming performance

The 16-incher especially flexes its muscles in the gaming tests. Current titles run smoothly in the native resolution (our QHD benchmarks were created with 2,560 x 1,440 instead of 2,560 x 1,600 pixels) even in maximum details, and more than 60 FPS are almost always achieved. Even on 4K displays, full settings would usually not be a problem - even without the help of DLSS or Frame Generation.

As usual, we tested whether the GPU performance remains constant under a longer load with The Witcher 3. Similar to the competition, we did not notice any performance drops or the like apart from minor fluctuations.

Emissions

Noise emissions

The big drawback of such potent high-end components is unsurprisingly the noise development. In Performance mode, the 16-incher gets loud in 3D applications between 48 dB(A) (average 3DMark 06) and 55 dB(A) (maximum stress test). In games, you can expect about 53 dB(A), which is also very unpleasant without a headset. The situation is much more relaxed in idle. Although the fans occasionally get a bit loud (e.g. during booting), an average of 28 to 30 dB(A) is acceptable, especially since the Silent or Balanced mode can be used if desired.

Stress test

There were no problems in the stress test with the tools FurMark and Prime95. Although the CPU got relatively hot at over 90 °C, it did not throttle below the base clock. The GPU (~80 °C) behaved similarly.

Power management

Power consumption

Even though some rivals consume less, the power consumption is typical for an RTX 4090 device. While we measured 20 to 35 watts in idle mode, it was between 136 and 320 watts under load. Thus, the included 330-watt power supply is sufficiently sized.

Verdict

Lenovo Legion Pro 7 16IRX8H: Test device provided by Lenovo Germany

Those who are able to accept the exorbitant price of at least 4,500 Euros will find an almost thoroughly successful high-end gamer in the 16-inch format in the Legion Pro 7.

Lenovo not only relies on a stable and high-quality-looking chassis but also on good input devices. The connectivity (including Thunderbolt 4) and the WQXGA display will also satisfy most buyers. The 16:10 screen (240 Hz) offers, among other things, good brightness, convincing color accuracy, and short response times for IPS standards.

On the negative side, we would have - as is unfortunately common for high-end notebooks - a very high temperature and noise development under load. Without a headset, the performance mode is no joy. We recommend using the Silent or Balanced mode here.

Overall, the Legion Pro 7 with RTX 4090 - like the RTX 4080 model - still gets a very good rating and thus belongs to the best high-end laptops on the market.

If you want it quieter and/or lighter, you should check out the Blade 16. The competitor from Razer scored even slightly better in the test.

Price and availability

The Legion Pro 7 16IRX8H (with Core i9-13900HX and WQXGA display) is available from various online stores like Amazon US or Bestbuy.
