The Lenovo Legion Pro 7 Gen 8 is Lenovo's 2023 flagship 16-inch gaming laptop — the top of the Legion Pro line, built around a single high-end 240Hz display, a full Legion Coldfront 5.0 vapor-chamber-class cooling stack, and NVIDIA's highest-tier RTX 40 Series mobile graphics. It shipped in three documented variants under four machine types: 82WQ, 82WR, 82WS, and 82WT — the Intel 16IRX8H and 16IRX8 (marketed as Legion Pro 7i) and the AMD 16ARX8H. All of them use the same Onyx Grey aluminum chassis and the same 2560 × 1600 panel, so what actually separates them — and what sets your payout — is the processor, the graphics card, and the memory and storage inside. Worth knowing before you start: Gadget Salvation is a direct online buyback service, purchasing used electronics outright for cash since 2008. There's no listing, no bidding, no buyer negotiating you down, and no seller fees taken out of your total. Pick your processor, graphics card, and condition above for an instant cash offer.

Series, generation & model numbers

Lenovo markets this generation as "Legion Pro 7 (16″, 8)" and "Legion Pro 7i (16″, 8)". The numbers actually printed on the machine are the chassis code (16IRX8H, 16IRX8, 16ARX8H) and the machine type (82WQ, 82WR, 82WS, 82WT). The release year for the whole generation is 2023.

Legion Pro 7 16IRX8H — Intel, top tier

  • Machine type: 82WQ · Release year: 2023
  • Processor: Intel Core i9-13900HX only
  • Graphics: RTX 4080 or RTX 4090
  • The only Legion Pro 7 Gen 8 variant with Thunderbolt 4
  • Example U.S. model number: 82WQ002QUS; other codes follow the pattern 82WQxxxxxx (82WQ0079PB, 82WQ0084LM, 82WQ004DIV, 82WQ00AFMH, 82WQ00B7MJ)

Legion Pro 7 16IRX8 — Intel, RTX 4070

  • Machine type: 82WR · Release year: 2023
  • Processor: Intel Core i9-13900HX only
  • Graphics: RTX 4070 only
  • No Thunderbolt — both USB-C ports are USB 3.2 Gen 2. Lighter and uses a smaller 300W adapter.
  • Example U.S. model number: 82WR0000US; other codes follow the pattern 82WRxxxxxx (82WR0001PB, 82WR001CIV)

Legion Pro 7 16ARX8H — AMD

  • Machine type: 82WS · Release year: 2023
  • Processor: AMD Ryzen 9 7945HX only (16 cores, 32 threads)
  • Graphics: RTX 4080 or RTX 4090
  • No Thunderbolt — this is an AMD platform
  • Example U.S. model number: 82WS003KUS; other codes follow the pattern 82WSxxxxxx (82WS0018CL, 82WS0029MH, 82WS000NMH, 82WS000PMH, 82WS000VRK)

Machine type 82WT

  • Lenovo's own service documentation lists 82WT alongside 82WQ, 82WR, and 82WS as a Legion Pro 7 Gen 8 machine type.
  • If your underside label reads 82WT, you do have a Legion Pro 7 Gen 8 — you're on the right page.
  • Because it's a lower-volume regional type, please request a custom quote so we can confirm your exact configuration before pricing it.

Core hardware configurations

Processor (CPU)

  • Intel Core i9-13900HX — 24 cores (8 performance + 16 efficient), 32 threads, P-core 2.2 GHz base / 5.4 GHz max, E-core 1.6 GHz / 3.9 GHz, 36MB cache, Intel UHD integrated graphics, Intel HM770 chipset (16IRX8H and 16IRX8)
  • AMD Ryzen 9 7945HX — 16 cores, 32 threads, 2.5 GHz base / 5.4 GHz max, 16MB L2 + 64MB L3, Radeon 610M integrated graphics, AMD SoC platform (16ARX8H)
  • These are the only two processors Lenovo documents for this generation. There is no Core i7 and no Ryzen 7 Legion Pro 7 Gen 8 — those chips went into the Legion Pro 5 Gen 8 instead.

Graphics (GPU)

  • NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 Laptop GPU — 8GB GDDR6, 2175 MHz boost, 140W TGP (16IRX8 / 82WR only)
  • NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4080 Laptop GPU — 12GB GDDR6, 2280 MHz boost, 175W TGP (16IRX8H and 16ARX8H)
  • NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4090 Laptop GPU — 16GB GDDR6, 2040 MHz boost, 175W TGP (16IRX8H and 16ARX8H)
  • All configurations include NVIDIA Advanced Optimus (automatic MUX switching), DLSS 3.5, Dynamic Boost 2.0, and DirectX 12 Ultimate
  • The 175W TGP on the 4080 and 4090 is the full-power implementation, which is a meaningful part of why this model holds resale value

Memory (RAM)

  • Two DDR5 SO-DIMM slots, dual-channel, user-accessible on every variant — nothing is soldered
  • 16IRX8 (82WR): DDR5-5600, up to 32GB from the factory
  • 16IRX8H (82WQ): DDR5-4800 or DDR5-5600, up to 32GB from the factory (modules are physically 5600 but may run at 4800 depending on processor limits)
  • 16ARX8H (82WS): DDR5-5200, up to 32GB from the factory (modules are physically 5600, downclocked to 5200 by the Ryzen memory controller)
  • Because the slots are open, plenty of these have been upgraded past 32GB after purchase. Aftermarket RAM counts toward your offer — report what's installed today, not what it shipped with.

Storage

  • M.2 2280 PCIe NVMe SSD, PCIe 4.0 x4
  • Factory capacities: 512GB or 1TB per drive
  • Two M.2 2280 slots on every variant, so 2TB total configurations are common in the wild
  • Aftermarket drives are fine and are valued — just report the total capacity currently installed

About the processor options above: Lenovo's published specifications for the Legion Pro 7 Gen 8 list only the Core i9-13900HX and the Ryzen 9 7945HX. If your machine has a Core i7-13700HX or a Ryzen 7 7745HX, you almost certainly have a Legion Pro 5 Gen 8, not a Pro 7 — see the identification FAQ below. Quickest way to check: press Windows key + R, type dxdiag, press Enter, and read the Processor line on the System tab and the graphics chip on the Display 2 tab.

Display & audio

Display

One panel across the entire generation — there is no lower-tier screen option to check for. It's a 16-inch WQXGA (2560 × 1600) IPS in 16:10, 240Hz, 500 nits, anti-glare, 1200:1 contrast, 100% sRGB, with DisplayHDR 400, Dolby Vision, NVIDIA G-SYNC, X-Rite factory color calibration, TÜV Rheinland Low Blue Light and TÜV Rheinland High Gaming Performance certification. Non-touch, no pen support. The Intel variants also support Advanced Optimus display; the AMD variant adds AMD FreeSync.

Audio & microphone

Stereo "super linear" speakers, 2W × 2, audio by HARMAN, tuned with Nahimic Audio and driven through a Smart Amplifier, on a Realtek ALC3306 codec. Dual-microphone array. Identical across all three variants — this is a step above the speaker setup in the Legion Slim and Legion Pro 5 lines.

Webcam

Shipped with either an HD 720p or an FHD 1080p fixed-focus camera depending on SKU, both with a physical E-shutter privacy cover. No Windows Hello facial recognition and no fingerprint reader on any Legion Pro 7 Gen 8.

Keyboard, touchpad & lighting

6-row Legion TrueStrike keyboard with multimedia Fn keys and a full numeric keypad. Backlighting shipped as either per-key RGB (with a lighting lens along the front edge) or plain white — per-key RGB is the premium option and worth noting when you quote. Buttonless Mylar multi-touch touchpad, 75 × 120 mm. RGB lighting ring on the power button. Many SKUs also include 4 switchable keycaps and a keycap tool in the box.

Ports & connectivity

All three variants share the same rear-and-side layout with heavy I/O routed out the back. The one real difference is Thunderbolt, which appears on the 82WQ and nowhere else.

On every Legion Pro 7 Gen 8
  • 3× USB-A 3.2 Gen 1 (5Gbps)
  • 1× USB-A 3.2 Gen 1 (Always On charging)
  • 1× HDMI 2.1 (up to 8K/60Hz)
  • 1× Gigabit Ethernet (RJ-45) with Wake-on-LAN
  • 1× 3.5mm headphone/microphone combo jack
  • 1× Lenovo slim-tip power connector
  • Supports up to 4 independent displays total (built-in plus 3 external)
USB-C differences by variant
  • 16IRX8H (82WQ): 1× Thunderbolt 4 / USB4 40Gbps (data, Power Delivery, DisplayPort 1.4) + 1× USB-C 3.2 Gen 2 with Lenovo Power Delivery 140W and DisplayPort 1.4
  • 16IRX8 (82WR): 1× USB-C 3.2 Gen 2 with Lenovo Power Delivery 140W + DisplayPort 1.4, and 1× USB-C 3.2 Gen 2 data + DisplayPort 1.4 only (no Thunderbolt)
  • 16ARX8H (82WS): same as the 82WR — two USB-C 3.2 Gen 2 ports, one of which charges at 140W (no Thunderbolt)
  • Only one USB-C port charges the laptop on any variant, and 140W PD requires a Lenovo-spec adapter.

Stated absences on all three variants: no SD or microSD card reader (unlike the Legion Slim line), no optical drive, no touchscreen, no pen support, no WWAN or cellular modem, no fingerprint reader, and no Thunderbolt on the 82WR or 82WS. All models have firmware TPM 2.0.

Wi-Fi 6E Killer Wi-Fi 6E AX1675i (some Intel SKUs), Bluetooth 5.3 (Intel), Bluetooth 5.2 (AMD), Gigabit Ethernet, no card reader, no fingerprint reader

Battery, build & more

Battery & charger

16IRX8H (82WQ) and 16ARX8H (82WS): 80Wh or 99.9Wh lithium-ion, paired with a 330W slim-tip GaN AC adapter.
16IRX8 (82WR): 99.9Wh only, paired with a 300W slim-tip AC adapter.
Both support Lenovo's Super Rapid Charge — the 80Wh reaches roughly 80% in half an hour, the 99.9Wh roughly 70%.
Include the original charger. These are large, expensive, model-specific bricks, and a Legion Pro 7 sent without one takes a real hit on the offer. A generic 140W USB-C charger will run the machine but will not sustain an RTX 4080 or 4090 under load.

Cooling & AI tuning

Legion Coldfront 5.0 with an expanded intake, upgraded fan and exhaust assembly, and customizable fan curves through Lenovo Vantage. Every variant also carries the LA2-Q AI chip powering Lenovo AI Engine+, which monitors in-game frame rates and retunes CPU and GPU power limits on the fly. Fan noise and dust buildup are normal on a three-year-old 175W gaming laptop and are graded under functionality rather than cosmetics.

Chassis & finish

Anodized aluminum top and bottom in Onyx Grey — a full metal build, not the aluminum-over-plastic construction used on the Legion Slim 5. Look for dents along the front lip and lid corners; the anodized finish shows scuffs but resists flexing.

Weight

16IRX8H (82WQ): under 2.8 kg (6.17 lb).
16ARX8H (82WS): under 2.8 kg (6.17 lb).
16IRX8 (82WR): under 2.5 kg (5.5 lb) — lighter thanks to the smaller 140W cooling stack.

Dimensions

363.4 × 263.55 × 21.97–25.9 mm (14.31″ × 10.38″ × 0.86–1.02″) across all three variants. Dimensions may vary slightly by configuration.

Operating system

Shipped with Windows 11 Home, Windows 11 Home Single Language, or Windows 11 Pro depending on SKU. Some regional models shipped with no preloaded operating system. A machine running Linux or with no OS installed is still fine to sell — just mark it accordingly under functionality.

Frequently asked questions

01 How do I confirm I have a Legion Pro 7 Gen 8, and which variant?
Two easy ways, neither of which requires any technical knowledge.

Option 1 — flip the laptop over. Close the lid, turn it upside down, and read the printed label. You're looking for a product name like "Legion Pro 7 16IRX8H", "Legion Pro 7 16IRX8", or "Legion Pro 7 16ARX8H", followed by a short machine type beginning with Type 82WQ, 82WR, 82WS, or 82WT. Nearby you'll see a longer model number such as 82WQ002QUS, 82WR0000US, or 82WS003KUS.

Option 2 — check it in Windows. Hold the Windows key and press R. A small box opens. Type msinfo32 and press Enter. Read the System Model line — it will show the machine type and chassis code. The Processor line right below tells you whether you have the Intel Core i9-13900HX or the AMD Ryzen 9 7945HX.

To identify your graphics card: press Windows key + R, type dxdiag, press Enter, and open the Display 2 tab. It will name the RTX 4070, 4080, or 4090 directly.

Still unsure? Our guide to finding your laptop's model number walks through it visually, and this page covers identifying your processor. You can also just contact us with a photo of the underside label and we'll identify it for you.
02 My laptop says "Legion Pro" — how do I know it's a 7 and not a 5?
This is the single most common mix-up on this model, and there's a good reason for it: Lenovo used the exact same chassis code "16IRX8" for both the Legion Pro 7 and the Legion Pro 5 Gen 8. A label reading "16IRX8" on its own does not tell you which one you have. Only the machine type does.

Legion Pro 7 Gen 8 machine types: 82WQ, 82WR, 82WS, 82WT. Those belong on this page.

Here's what it is not:
Legion Pro 5 16IRX8 (type 82WK) — the Intel Legion Pro 5i Gen 8, with a Core i5-13500HX, i7-13700HX, or i9-13900HX and an RTX 4050 to 4070. Same "16IRX8" string, different machine type.
Legion Pro 5 16ARX8 (type 82WM) — the AMD Legion Pro 5 Gen 8, with a Ryzen 5 7645HX or Ryzen 7 7745HX. If your processor is a Ryzen 7, this is what you have — no Legion Pro 7 Gen 8 shipped with a Ryzen 7.
Legion Pro 7 Gen 9 (16IRX9H, type 83DE) — the 2024 successor with a 14th-gen Intel processor.
Legion Slim 7 Gen 8 (16IRH8 type 82Y3, 16APH8 type 82Y4) — the thinner Slim line, with different cooling and different ports.
Legion Slim 5 Gen 8 (14APH8 type 82Y5, 16APH8 type 82Y9) — a tier below, and the easiest external tell is that the Slim 5 has an SD card reader while the Pro 7 has none.

Two-second physical check: the Legion Pro 7 Gen 8 has no card reader slot anywhere on the chassis. If you can see an SD slot, you don't have a Pro 7.

Quoting the wrong model just means we have to revise the offer after inspection, so it's worth the extra thirty seconds. If your machine type isn't 82WQ, 82WR, 82WS, or 82WT, use our model finder or request a custom quote and we'll route you correctly.
03 Will you still buy it if it's worn, upgraded, or not working properly?
Yes — we buy Legion Pro 7 Gen 8 units across the entire condition range, from sealed to genuinely rough. Use the condition selectors above: choose a cosmetic grade, then mark Defective and check every issue that applies, including power problems, a damaged screen, a bad battery, keyboard or touchpad failure, or missing storage.

Common findings on this model and how to grade them:
• Thermal throttling or fans that never spin down — extremely common on 175W machines with three years of dust. Mark it under defective hardware.
• Swollen battery lifting the touchpad or bottom panel — mark defective battery and stop using the laptop. Please contact us before shipping a visibly swollen battery.
• Dead zones in the per-key RGB backlight — grade under defective keyboard.
• Missing switchable keycaps — cosmetic only, won't affect functionality grading.
• Upgraded RAM or a second SSD you installed — welcome, and it can raise your offer. Report the totals actually installed today.
• Refurbished units — check the "Refurbished device" box; we still buy them.
• Repasted or undervolted — fine, no need to reverse it. Just confirm the machine is stable.

The one thing that changes an offer after the fact is an inaccurate description, so err toward honesty. Our how it works page explains what happens at inspection.
04 What raises my Legion Pro 7 Gen 8 trade-in value the most?
In order of impact:

1. The graphics card. This is by far the largest factor. An RTX 4090 build sits well above an RTX 4080, which sits well above an RTX 4070. High-end RTX 40 Series laptops have held their value unusually well compared with mid-range gaming machines, so the gap between tiers stays wide even years after release.
2. Total RAM. Both SO-DIMM slots are user-accessible, so upgraded memory counts. A 64GB machine is worth meaningfully more than a factory 16GB one.
3. Total SSD capacity, including any second drive in the spare M.2 slot.
4. The original 300W or 330W charger. Include it. These adapters are model-specific and expensive to replace, and selling without one reduces the offer noticeably.
5. Per-key RGB backlighting rather than the plain white backlight.
6. Cosmetic condition of the aluminum — the Onyx Grey anodizing shows dents on the front lip and lid corners, and those move the cosmetic grade.

If you've only ever sold on marketplaces, this part is worth reading: a lot of people never realize a dedicated trade-in service exists for high-end gaming laptops. Gadget Salvation has been buying consumer electronics directly since 2008. You get a firm price up front, free insured shipping, certified data erasure, and payment within two business days of delivery — with no listing fees, no payment-processor cut, no shipping disputes, and no strangers meeting you in a parking lot. That matters more than usual on a machine in this price bracket, where marketplace fees and scam risk both scale with the sale price. Gaming laptops also depreciate on a steep curve, so the month you decide to sell affects your total more than most people expect. For background, see our guides on selling a Lenovo laptop without getting lowballed, how to sell a gaming laptop, estimating what your laptop is worth, and comparing laptop trade-in offers.

05 How do I wipe my data, and how and when do I get paid?
Before you ship:
1. Back up anything you want to keep — local game saves, recordings, project files, screenshots — to an external drive or cloud storage. Game libraries re-download; local saves often don't.
2. Deauthorize accounts tied to this specific machine: sign out of Steam, the Epic Games Launcher, Battle.net, Adobe apps, and Microsoft 365, and remove the machine from any streaming or capture software licenses.
3. Reset Windows: Settings → System → Recovery → Reset this PC → Remove everything, and choose the option to clean the drive. Remember to repeat this for a second SSD if you have one installed.
4. Sign out of your Microsoft account and remove the device at account.microsoft.com/devices. If this laptop came from a workplace, studio, or school, ask their IT team to release it from Intune, Autopilot, or any MDM enrollment first — otherwise it stays locked to their tenant, and we can't accept it as fully functional.
5. Remove any BIOS supervisor password, power-on password, or hard-disk password before shipping. A locked BIOS on a Legion is a functional defect.

You don't need to pull the SSDs yourself. Every drive that reaches us is wiped to certified standards regardless — see our data erasure protocols.

Packing note: this is a 6-pound aluminum laptop with a large power brick. Wrap the adapter separately so it can't press against the lid in transit, and use enough padding on all six sides. Full guidance is on our shipping instructions page.

Getting paid: shipping is free and fully insured using the prepaid label we provide. Once your laptop arrives and passes inspection, payment is issued within about two business days via PayPal, Venmo, Zelle, Cash App, or a check mailed to you. No selling fees are deducted — the offer you accept is the amount you receive.
