NVIDIA RTX 40 Series graphics cards have been in the market for a while, but this time around it seems to cost a bit more than necessary to bring them to laptops, probably due to changes in power supply design and because, as you also know, it is difficult to bring the TDP of a desktop graphics card to a laptop computer, whose limitations both in power and in dissipation space are much greater. However, they are finally here and we’ll tell you about them right away.
The RTX 40 is coming to Lenovo laptops
Since NVIDIA launched the next generation of RTX 40 series graphics cards, speed has been redefined for gamers and content creators. And not only because they represented a good qualitative leap in terms of performance, but also because they significantly improved efficiency (performance per watt), an aspect of the utmost importance when talking about laptops .
So now we have the Lenovo Legion Pro 7i Gen 8a laptop designed for gaming that is equipped with a dedicated NVIDIA graphics card GeForce RTX 4080, Nothing more and nothing less. This powerful graphics card comes with 13th Gen Intel Core i9-13900HX processors, along with 32GB of 6000MHz DDR5 RAM and up to 2TB (2x1TB in RAID0) of SSD storage.
These laptops also have the Coldfront 5.0 cooling system which guarantees low noise and good operating temperature even when playing games, and they have batteries up to 99.99 Wh with Super Rapid Charge technology (fast charging up to 140W via USB-C).
On the other hand, we also have Lenovo Legion Pro 7/7i which carry slightly more humble hardware, with RTX 4070, and the Lenovo Legion Pro 5/5i which come with RTX 4060. Finally, there is a Legion Pro 7i model which packs an RTX 4090, the most powerful graphics card to date.
