Lenovo Legion 7 16 G9 laptop review - A gaming machine with a 3.2K display, HX CPU and an overclocked RTX 4070 laptop

[Redaktion]

With the Legion 7 16 G9, Lenovo is offering a comparatively slim and eye-catching gaming laptop which is also interesting for other target groups such as multimedia users or content creators. Intel's Core i9-14900HX and Nvidia's GeForce RTX 4070 laptop ensure sufficient performance for the 3.2K IPS display and its P3 coverage.

I do prefer 4K panels, though I will say I don't mind too much for most of today's video which already uses lossy/blocky compression. It's crispness in text and the better scaling options to achieve the desired UI element sizes that draw me towards 3840x over 3200x.

I have a hot problem with this laptop. Maybe I'm just unlucky, but not only I couldn't game on it (I wouldn't dare to put it in high performance mode so far), but even in balanced mode, when browsing, with fast charging turned off the palmrest on the right is very hot (battery in vantage marked as hot at 39 degrees). No update solved this so far. And I'm afraid it is unusable like this for heavy photo-video editing, and that's what I bought it for. Maybe it requires more tweaking, undervolting, I don't know, I'm not a nerd who wants to waste time in BIOS settings, why couldn't it work well straight out of the box...
