Lenovo Legion Pro 7 16IRX8H Review: High-end RTX 4080 performance powerhouse

I hope they fixed the glue or used another fixation between the hinge and the back panel of the screen. I own the previous model and the hinge got loose, wrecking the screen completely.

Just got this for $2200, beat everything even close and higher for that price.

Alright, that's definitely a good deal.

Just a warning: I tried several units of this model with same exact specs, had to return all of them. The high pitched noise of the fans was unbearable to use for long time, even on "Balanced" or "Quiet" modes. I don't know what Lenovo did with their fans, but the fans in my previous generation Legion did not sound so annoying - they did not have the droning high pitched sound, they just had pleasant low frequency "whoosh" at all fan speeds. A real shame because other than annoying fan sound I really liked everything about this new model.

This model is an unconditional downgrade of the 2022 models - it has a shameful RJ45 1Gb / s, although in 2022 it was 2.5 Gb / s. And webcams can be infamous 720p...again.

Plus, they removed USB40/TB4 (and this is a complete shame) in versions with 4060-4070.

An even bigger shame in the L5 "Pro" line - there even the case became plastic, and USB40 / TB4 was completely removed, although in the 2021 line there were 2 TB4 ports ...

It is not surprising that Lenovo sales fell catastrophically already in 2022.
