Blackfire Posted March 1, 2023 Share Posted March 1, 2023 The new Lenovo Legion Pro 7i is an outstanding next-gen gaming laptop. 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. And its RTX 4080 GPU gives it the sort of gaming performance that has me questioning why anyone would want an RTX 4090 machine(opens in new tab). This is the first gaming laptop I've seen using the second-tier Ada Lovelace GPU from Nvidia, and it's a doozy. Like the RTX 4090 before it, the numbering system Nvidia is using for its mobile graphics silicon is a step removed from that inside the desktop versions of the same name. While Nvidia might be making a big deal of the fact xx90-class GPUs are going into laptops for the first time, they're not the same as the graphics chompers in the latest and greatest gaming PCs. The mobile RTX 4090 uses the same AD103 GPU as the desktop RTX 4080(opens in new tab), though the mobile RTX 4080 is actually built from a cut-down version of the AD104 used inside the desktop RTX 4070 Ti https://www.pcgamer.com/lenovo-legion-pro-7i-gaming-laptop-review/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
