The Lenovo Legion Pro 7i Gen 8 represents a quantum leap forward for gaming performance and in this video we compare it to Legion 7i Gen 7 and Gen 6 gaming laptops from 2022 and 2021. Is the new Pro 7i from 2023 worth it for an upgrade over older laptops in the same high end category?

Great review, just two comments on the specs. The 13900HX has 24 cores, 32 threads, not 24 threads as indicated here. The 24 threads is for the 13900H not used on the Gen 8. Also, I believe Windows Hello is not possible on the Gen 8 as it has no IR sensor which is unfortunate, but not something that will bother me too much. I prefer no frills and loads of power. As far as I can tell it offers the best value proposition. With the excellent cooling it outperforms many other 4080 laptop offerings coming close to some of the 4090s available on the market now. After a week of researching all that is out there I've placed my order for the pro 7i.

@totallynotmyeggalt6216 Жыл бұрын

Honestly I get the feeling they're holding out for a Legion 9 model or something similar, or Lenovo is just trying to cut corners to adapt to the absurd price hikes from Nvidia. The touchpad is plastic instead of glass, the design is much more boring and looks cheaper (in my opinion) without the brushed aluminum chassis from last year, there's no more fingerprint reader, there are fewer Type-C ports (seriously, who needs 4 USB-A ports anymore), there's no icon illumination for the back ports, and the AMD model isn't even coming to the US. As much as the performance of the 4080 looks really tempting, I think I'll be much better off sticking with a good deal on a 3080Ti or RX6850M XT model from last year, even if they don't perform as well. Well, that or wait a bit for the inevitable Legion Slim gen 8, which should hopefully bring the AMD Phoenix processors once they're available next month.

You need to include a desktop 4080 into your graphs. It is disingenuous and irresponsible to not include information that tells potential customers of the difference.

And what's with dropping the 2.5 gbe ethernet to 1.0 gbe? Also you totally didn't mention this drop in the RJ45 port speed to 1 gbe. I stopped watching after the point you talked about the rear ports at around 9:16. Intersting how you quickly glossed over those short comings and your choice of words. I know its hard to be too critical esp when Lenovo provided you with all the units for review.

I am very disappointed that you jumped straight to conclude that the 140W PD charging here is part of the USB PD 3.1 EPR when it is likely not. According to Lenovo own's User Manual, the specs for 140W charging is 20V 7A, which is out of any USB PD 3.1 140W specs, including EPR specs. The 140W USB PD 3.1 EPR specs is at 28V 5A. No specs of the USB PD 3.1 allows any higher than 5A of current. This implies that, again, only Lenovo proprietary GAN charger would be able to reach 140W Type C charging. Other aftermarket charger would likely only see maximum 100W charging.

You should have gone i7 12 then gen 3060 . Or 11thgen i7 3070 for the same price if you want more in games.

Sry, but the 3070 model may perform 2.2X times better.

It sure took a great leap but backwards in design and aesthetics.

honestly i dont mind the RGB being toned down to give the laptop a more minimalist feel. When you look at the laptops from Asus or MSI their RGB is all over the place, compare with something like Razer Blade which only has RGB on the keyboards, I think most would easily agree the Blade looks more elegant.

@MerryBlind Жыл бұрын

I think most people are more disappointed in the chassis aesthetic change than the RGB. Last year’s industrial look combined with high quality material and brushed aluminum finish gave it a unique and elegant look.

@@Smart_boy2001What does having a numpad or not have to do with elegance lol if anything not having a numpad is more “elegant” since it streamlines the deck of the laptop, gives more breathing room for the main keyboard, and does not offset the trackpad.

Well, yeah. For full price the 4080 legion is cheaper than most 3080ti's while destroying their performance. Either Lenovo cut some features to keep price down, or everyone complains that they're too expensive

So.. it is not possible to upgrade to 64gb ram?

@jasonhurdlow6607 7 ай бұрын

It is, but it'll reportedly clock the RAM at 5200 instead of 5600. If you need the additional RAM for productivity it's worth the compromise. If only gaming, stick with 32 for a couple extra fps.

I have this laptop with the 4080 and can confirm it's fantastic. I've never been a fan of the left of centre touchpads though, as much as I like the full size arrow keys - would rather they were squished in to fit it in the middle. It's also by far the heaviest laptop I have owned - but the robust cooling system justifies it, I suppose.

@little_fluffy_clouds 10 ай бұрын

Indeed, it’s actually not that heavy compared to the competition if you match the specs, and it has the best cooling, especially with the vapour chamber for the 4080 and 4090 models. I went with the 4080 model myself and it’s a superb all-rounder
