Lenovo Legion 2023 discussion

[saturnotaku]

Time to give the thread some more love. I didn't think Lenovo was going to bring the AMD-powered Pro 7 to the US, but they did. As of this writing, the version with RTX 4090 is priced at $2699 for their Black Friday in July sale, but you can lower that to under $2500 by stacking the codes "LENOVOBUYMORE" ($100 off) and "BENKAISER6" (6% off, so a bit more than the usual extra 5%). Plus there's 10% Rakuten cash back.

 

The Ryzen 9 7945HX is an absolute monster of a CPU that Lenovo has allowed to run at 5.2 GHz and 90W even with a 150W GPU load. That means it's going to run hotter than its Intel counterpart, but that's how Dragon Range is designed. Plus, it's not any louder versus its Intel counterpart. Only problem is that you can't use UXTU to tune it.
