Experience Lenovo Legion 7 laptop after 2 months: stable and excellent in many ways

After nearly 2 months of playing games every day with a duration of 3-4 hours, Legion 7 still shows its capabilities like the first days I opened it, still fully meeting all I need in a machine. gaming calculator. Over a longer period of use, more subtle feelings about this machine gradually revealed about the really impressive lighting effects, screen, speakers and cooling system.

With all that it shows, from performance, finishing to appearance and belief in long-term stability and high configuration level with the RTX 3080, I personally find the price 8x. million in Legion 7 is reasonable for a need for unlimited gaming and more.

In the previous post, I also mentioned a lot about the design of this Lenovo Legion 7 laptop, along with the rigidity and certainty that Lenovo has perfected on the machine, as well as the bold gaming design but still delicate enough to fit other use cases such as studying or working in the office.

Reasonable and impressive lighting system

In the situation when you turn on the RGB lighting system when playing games in the evening, for me, I am quite impressed with the way that Lenovo designed this light strip, by the way the lights are on the radiator slots on both sides. combined with the stripe along the edge of the machine looks very pleasing to the eye. Besides, through the pre-installed profile on the device, you can also tweak some lighting effects, such as switching between colors or different lighting effects.

You can also use some other 3rd party tweaking software, such as ICue, then you will have more profiles available to customize, as well as be able to better optimize each respective color area. With the game you play, from there you will have a much better experience. In addition, when you play games in low light conditions, such as a dark room or at night, the RGB light strip around the body as well as on the keyboard system makes me feel quite impressed by the way the lights are lit. its.

Keyboard and touchpad

The second point that I also like on this Legion 7 laptop is the keyboard. Basically, you will be able to use a spaciously designed fullsize keyboard, including a system of normal keys, along with a numpad key system located on the right of the keyboard, serving special gaming needs. especially, or even in work and study, for example, for those of you who have to deal with data a lot like accountants or similar jobs.

The navigation keys (arrow keys) are also designed in the form of fullsize corresponding to other keys for easier operation, instead of the miniature design of navigation keys on other laptops. When using the keyboard, you will also get an experience with an extremely comfortable clicky feeling, in my opinion, the key travel is also quite comfortable, and for those of you who are used to the longer key travel. Maybe when using this machine, you will feel the key travel is a bit shallow.

Personally, with the way that Lenovo layout layout, the clicky of the keys, along with the very rare case that you encounter flex when pressing the keys, it helps to feel more secure and hands-on. so many. I am also very confident when using the device to play games, including games that require very fast manipulation of the A – S – D – W key clusters, or many operations with the Shift and Space keys.

Although I rarely use the touchpad, every time I need it, its glass surface feels smoother and better when swiping than plastic.

Excellent sound

The next point that cannot be ignored, and also the point that I feel most impressive about this Lenovo Legion 7 laptop, is the sound system of the device. The large HARMAN speaker system is equipped on the bottom of the device, and the sound quality of this speaker system helps me completely change my mind about “not appreciating the problem of attaching a speaker brand to a laptop. laptop”.

With the games I play a lot recently, such as Division or Naraka, the game’s sound area has been expanded by about half a meter from the center of the machine, making me feel quite impressed. . Even when playing games in a quiet space, especially at night, sometimes the sound coming from the game also makes me turn my head to check, because the sound coming from the machine is of extremely high quality. good and quite honest. In my opinion, this Legion 7 is a gaming laptop with top sound quality at the moment.

High resolution screen, high brightness, reasonable ratio

The 16-inch IPS screen, 2560×1600 resolution, with the 16:10 ratio of the Legion 7 is the next point that I want to mention to you. With this size and screen ratio, and the machine’s 2.5kg weight, it can be said that this is one of the gaming computers that can provide the most complete gaming experience without having to carry carry too much weight.

Some other information, we also have G-sync, 165Hz refresh rate and about 500 nit brightness. I put the machine in the working corner in Tinhte office with glass doors to let light in from one side. Basically, I can play games day and night without any strong external light affecting the image on the screen. However, the black depth is still not perfect compared to OLED or miniLED, especially dark scenes when playing in a completely dark room will appear slightly brighter. In fact, currently, OLED screen gaming laptop options are still very rare and will be very expensive, so in my opinion, IPS is still a fast choice in exchange for many other things, especially the refresh rate of the panel. nah.

Thanks to the strength of brightness more than black, the ability to perform HDR400 is quite good. I play Tarkov or Divisoin 2 both open to have a little advantage in night scenes.

This screen size and ratio can meet the maximum exploitation of the display content of the device. Not only in the framework when you play games, with the screen display space slightly better than other screen ratios, but even when you surf the content on this screen, it will also display more content.

Worry-free configuration, effective heat dissipation

The version of Legion 7 I’m using is the version that’s almost the most configurable in the Legion 7 2021 line. In more detail, I have a Legion 7 with AMD Ryzen 9 5900HX processor, 16GB of RAM, and with NVIDIA’s GEFORCE RTX 3080 video card. All wrapped up in an extremely neat whole. In general, Legion 7 I think has a very high “configuration per unit volume” ratio.

In addition to playing games very smoothly and smoothly for a long time, the problem of heat dissipation of the machine is also very concerned. Lenovo said that the Legion 7’s cooling chamber system has been upgraded a lot compared to previous models, combined with other upgraded aerodynamic systems, thereby helping to push the amount of heat from the inside. the machine is pushed out more efficiently.

Especially during use, the airflow from the cooling systems on the sides and back of the machine is pushed out very far, with high speed, strong but still not too noisy. Moreover, when I activate the Performance mode to play some games for a long time, I find that the heat dissipation airflow is pushed out very far, carrying the heat from the inside of the machine to the environment. The temperature I measured immediately on the cooling system fell to about 48 degrees. Even playing games for a long time, I still feel comfortable and not uncomfortable, even though the cooling system operates at such high and continuous capacity.

It can be said that the points I mentioned above are the points that I feel extremely impressed in this Lenovo Legion 7 laptop. The question often asked is, at a price of about 80 million for a flagship gaming laptop, how will it compare to other gaming computers in the same segment? For me, it’s about solid design inside and out, the sophistication of the RGB lighting system, combining the same quality and technology on the screen with the speaker system, are the factors extremely valuable, giving you the best gaming experience.

Another problem is, how will it compare this Lenovo Legion 7 2021 laptop with the Legion 5 Pro – which is also highly rated but has a slightly softer price? I found that, in order to get more certainty and sophistication in terms of design, with a larger screen size, especially options with higher configuration, the cooling system is more commensurate, less noisy. , then the price of Legion 7 is completely worth it.
