Lenovo Legion 7 16IAX7

A line of high performance 16" laptops from Lenovo that breaks down the walls between gaming and professional laptops. Representatives of this series belong to the flagship level and have a somewhat vague positioning: according to the manufacturer, the high power and advanced features of Legion 7 will be equally useful to gamers, enthusiasts, artists, designers, coders and other representatives of the creative industry.

Actually, it was the Legion series that was one of the first to set the trend for gaming laptops with a strict ascetic design, which was picked up by other manufacturers. Since then, the Chinese brand has not changed itself, making cosmetic changes to the appearance and updating the hardware. So the 2023 Legion 7 16IAX7 modifications are based on the flagship 12th generation Intel Core i7 / i9 processors (Alder Lake).

For graphics capabilities, older GPU models from the family of the third NVIDIA Ampere (RTX 3070 Ti / 3080 Ti) are responsible for more memory, high TDP, support for hardware ray tracing, DLSS and separate tensor cores for implementing DLSS and working with machine learning. The amount of DDR5 RAM is 32 GB, and the size of the SSD-drive can be up to 2048 GB. This is a very serious hardware, you will have to try to fully load it.

Keeping that good under control is Legion Coldfront's dual-channel, intelligently controlled cooling system, which adjusts GPU and CPU clock speeds and fan speeds depending on the type of load to achieve the optimal balance between power, power consumption, and noise level. A 16-inch IPS screen with a resolution of 2560x1600 pixels, a serious margin of brightness (500 cd / m2), a high refresh rate (165 Hz) and 100% coverage of the sRGB color triangle is responsible for displaying the image in all modifications.

The screen supports high dynamic range formats (HDR10, Dolby Vision), and is equipped with NVIDIA G-Sync adaptive synchronization system, which ensures the highest image quality without tearing and delays. Other strengths of the Lenovo Legion 7 16IAX7 laptops include the proprietary TrueStrike keyboard with concave keys and individual RGB backlighting, a Face ID camera, a modern network controller with Wi-Fi 6E, a large set of connection ports (there are USB4 and Thunderbolt), branded acoustics from Harman and extremely fast charging, capable of restoring 70% charge in just 30 minutes.
