Then, backing up the key CPU/GPU combination is a 1TB PCIe 4.0 Samsung SSD, and 32GB of DDR5-5600 SK Hynix memory.
They're both capable of 5.4GHz boost clocks, though inevitably the bigger chip has a higher base TDP of 45W. Where the one in the Asus is a 14-core design, with six P-cores, this is a 24-core setup with eight P-cores and twice the number of E-cores. If, like me, you were to assume that would essentially be a slightly higher clocked version of the Core i9 13900H Asus has used in its excellent Zephyrus M16 gaming laptop, then you'd be wrong.ĭespite the almost identical name, this is an entirely different, substantially better CPU.

The Legion Pro 7i uses a 13th Gen Intel chip-the Core i9 13900HX. Lenovo hasn't gone down that route, the Legion Pro knows what it likes, and it likes the 150W TGP and no more. Though manufacturers are given an extra 25W leeway to bulk up their own specs if they feel they can push a little extra juice through their own systems. The Legion Pro 7i runs its RTX 4080 at a 150W TGP, which is the effective maximum of the GPU. And its the RTX 4080 model that has us impressed in testing, offering the sort of gaming performance that has me questioning why anyone would want an RTX 4090 machine. It's a machine that comes in at a price point that makes the rest of the high-end RTX 40-series look even more ridiculous on their lofty $4,000+ perches. The Lenovo Legion Pro 7i is the best 16-inch gaming laptop, and since 16-inch is the best form factor for a gaming laptop, it is therefore the best gaming laptop overall as well. It's both the best gaming laptop, and the best 16-inch laptop right now. The performance and value of the high-end components inside this laptop means it can rival far more expensive systems without sounding like a jet turbine to do so. 🪛 The Legion Pro 7i is a stunning gaming laptop that really cements Lenovo's place in the top tier of gaming machines. The ones that make it to the list provide the best bang for your buck-the best balance of performance, price, and portability. We test dozens of gaming laptops every year. And the price on last-gen offerings has come down in the short term, too, which makes this inflection point between two hardware generations a good time to start looking for a new gaming laptop. But we know even these new chips will mostly be wrapped into the same chassis we've grown to love over the past year. It makes the best RTX 4090 gaming laptops, including the Razer Blade 16 and Asus ROG Zephyrus M16, and even the frankly ridiculous MSI Titan GT77 HX, look like overkill.ĪMD has also now released its new 3D V-cache mobile chip, and it's absolutely the best mobile gaming chip you can buy, it's only available in that one Asus 17-inch machine, however. I've already tested the alternatives, and the best gaming laptop is the Lenovo Legion Pro 7i. The next generation of mobile GPU and CPU is now well established, offering the best Nvidia, AMD, and Intel has to offer. You've decided to buy a gaming laptop at the right time.
