With its Legion range, Lenovo strives to offer advanced gaming configurations, but at sometimes steep prices. Special know-how is required to install all components, including a large graphics card, in a 16-inch case. Among other things, the room must be well ventilated to ensure optimal performance. Luckily these laptops are sometimes on sale and this is the case today for this Lenovo Legion 5i Gen 7 with an RTX 3070 whose price goes up from €2399 to €1199.
The great spring cleaning is getting rid of old things to give your home a new look, but also offering new ones just to balance things out. Lenovo might have thought something like that with this SPRING promo code for its Legion 5i Gen 7 with an RTX 3070 and a 12th gen Core i7, cutting its price in half. But whether you want to throw away your old laptop or not, you can’t miss this offer.
The Legion 5i Gen 7 in a few points
- An RTX 3070 with a 125W TGP
- A 165 Hz WQHD display
- A 12th Gen Core i7 with 16GB of RAM
Instead of the usual 2399 euros, the Lenovo Legion 5i Gen 7 is now available for 1199 euros in the official store as a promotion.
A competitive WQHD display
For a gamer, the screen is an important criterion and you need one that has a very good refresh rate if possible. In this high-end configuration of the Lenovo Legion 5i Gen 7 we have a 15.6-inch IPS LCD panel with WQHD resolution (2560 x 1440 pixels) and with an excellent frame rate of 165 Hz. So you have one such screen clipping good for adventure games with sublime graphics as well as for competitive multiplayer games where slowing down is not allowed.
The manufacturer also states a brightness of 300 cd/m² and full coverage of the sRGB spectrum, which is correct. Finally, we have support for the Dolby Vision format, an HDR technology that extends the range of brightness, as well as G-Sync, Nvidia’s VRR technology to solve the problems of image tearing and juddering, including some games. The chassis itself has full connectivity on the sides, but also on the back.
Gaming power with the RTX 3070
To start your library of AAA video games, you can count on a GeForce RTX 3070 with a TGP of 125W, so you can easily run the current titles by enabling some features like ray tracing and DLSS. Despite the power used, you can rely on effective thermal management, especially thanks to an enlarged air outlet zone. And with its 1TB M.2 PCIe 4.0 SSD, you’ll have plenty of room to store your games.
At the processor level we have an Intel Core i7-12700H with 14 cores and 20 threads capable of reaching a turbo frequency of 4.7 GHz. It is supported by 16GB of DDR5 4800MHz RAM (expandable up to 32GB), making multitasking smooth and enjoyable. In terms of autonomy, you should not count on a full day, which is the case with all gaming laptops. On the other hand, the 80Wh battery needs the 300W fast charge, which can charge 80% of the tank in half an hour.
