Four CES 2023 Gaming Laptops Worth Paying Attention To – SlashGear

Lenovo’s CES 2023 package includes the new Legion Pro 7 and 7i laptops. Both feature an identical design and also share a lot of their innards. The only key difference between the two laptops is their processor of choice. The Lenovo Legion Pro 7i takes Intel’s side, letting buyers choose between the 13th Gen Core i9-1900HX and the Core i7-13700HX processors. The Lenovo Legion Pro 7, on the other hand, comes stuffed with AMD’s own beastly Ryzen 9-7945HX processor.

The silicon inside Lenovo’s new laptops is paired with up to 32 GB of DDR5 (6000 MHz) RAM and up to 2 TB of PCIe SSD storage. Both of the new Legion Pro 7 series laptops get a 16-inch (2560 x 1600 pixels) display with a 240 Hz refresh rate, up to 500 nits of peak brightness, and Nvidia G-Sync support. There’s a 100 WHr battery fitted inside the Onyx Grey chassis, with Lenovo claiming fast charging credentials of 0% to 80% climb in just 30 minutes.

On the graphics side of things, these two Lenovo gaming laptops go all the way up to Nvidia’s latest and greatest GeForce RTX 4090 mobile GPU. Notably, you get a choice between a 330W GaN charger, a 300W slim brick, and Type-C power delivery at 140W. Port selection includes a pair of Type-C (USB 3.2 Gen 2), four USB Type-A ports, and an HDMI 2.1 port among others. Lenovo is also making a big deal about the in-house LA AI chip, which is claimed to enhance gaming performance.

The Legion Pro 7 won’t be made available in the North American market, according to Lenovo, but the Legion Pro 7i will hit NA shores in March with a starting price of $1,999.99.
