The New Legion Pro 7i is a Monster

[VEGGIM]

Highest 5090m score OOTB it seems like.

Advertised as having 275w Crossload, 160w cpu sustained load, with an 1100 nits oled screen with 0.08ms peak response time.

With aida 64 FPU and furmark, crossload seems to be slightly higher. Going up to 280w. And this is without liquid metal at all. Yeah lenovo removed liquid metal for this model and uses ptm for both CPU. For a non LM 16 inch laptop that's kinda amazing.

275HX just destroys the 14900hx especially with less power. Should allow for cooler loads and better temps in games, And possibly increased performance in CPU bound games due to no longer being power starved.

 

 

Screen test results.

The legion cooling system is different from last years.

3 fans. Large VC for CPU and GPU with secondary heatsink for SSD and RAM. 3rd fan blows air into the gpu.

putty is used instead of pads for vram. 2 of the remaining vram spots has pads that uses the 2nd heatsink to cool it. The CPU side is still nickelplated and has a foam pad even with lack of liquid metal. So you can still apply LM if you wanted to. This seems to be a first I think. Having a laptop "liquid metal ready"

 

Secondary heatsink that cools SSD, ram, and some other stuff. it also contains the 3rd fan.

I have the monster!.

 

 

 

Its a great laptop so far especially with its performance, build quality and its features but be very careful if you want to make upgrades to it. The 3rd fan wire on the 2nd heatsink is pretty fragile even after removing all of the screws of it. Even with my prytools i was unable to unplug it without breaking it but i still remove it enough to install my old SSD in the 2nd slot, Bad design choice on a premium laptop imo. The OLED panel is awesome for gamers and content creators, Sadly with all OLED panels they're very reflective in sunlight but worth it. The Vapor Chamber is very good and does its job well. The default performance mode is pretty toasty in certain games but enabling silent performance mode in the BIOS makes the GPU runs at near its full wattage on balance mode and makes the CPU runs cooler and less noisy fans without much FPS lost than in performance mode. You can always play around the settings in custom mode to your likings but i havent had the time to test it. You can undervolt with HX CPUs after updating the BIOS but again i havent test it.
