The Lenovo Legion Pro 7i comes loaded with a 16-inch 2560x1600 resolution 240Hz OLED display, powered by the formidable Intel Core Ultra 9 275HX CPU and Nvidia GeForce RTX 5080 GPU. It's complemented by 32GB of DDR5-6400MHz RAM and a whopping 2TB (2x1TB) of SSD storage. The Intel Core Ultra 9 275HX outshines its predecessor, the Core Ultra 9 185H, which was more focused on energy efficiency. The new processor is a true successor to the i9-14900HX and pairs perfectly with the GeForce RTX 5080 mobile GPU.

The Legion Pro 7i also boasts the latest connectivity options, including WiFi 7 and Bluetooth 5.4, USB Type-C with up to 140W Power Delivery, Thunderbolt 4 with DisplayPort 2.1 (40Gbps), and a USB Type-A port with USB 3.2 Gen 2 specifications. It retains the increasingly rare RJ45 ethernet port and includes a privacy shutter for the webcam. The laptop's chassis, constructed from aluminum and magnesium, ensures durability and a premium feel.

We've reviewed an RTX 5080 equipped gaming laptop

While we haven't yet put the Lenovo Legion Pro 7i Gen 10 through its paces, we've tested a gaming laptop equipped with the RTX 5080 GPU. The RTX 5080 shows only a slight improvement over the RTX 4080 in raw rasterized performance but significantly outperforms it in games that support DLSS 4.0 with multi-frame generation. Our review of the Gigabyte Aorus Master, which features an RTX 5080 with a 150W TGP rating and a 2560x1600 display, suggests that the Lenovo Legion Pro 7i, with its similar specifications, should deliver comparable gaming performance.

Gigabyte Aorus Master 16" RTX 5080 Laptop Review by Chris Coke

"Nvidia has positioned its 50-series GPUs as leaders in AI-enhanced gaming, rather than solely focusing on native rendering performance. While the RTX 5080's performance may not significantly outpace the RTX 4080, its capabilities shine in games utilizing multi-frame generation. The concept of 'fake frames' might be a running joke, but when implemented well, it can dramatically boost performance. This varies by game; for example, Alan Wake 2 can feel laggy at higher settings, whereas Cyberpunk 2077 does not. With future technologies like neural shaders on the horizon, investing in these GPUs means betting on future game support. However, it's a gamble as Nvidia and game developers continue to enhance compatibility with both new and existing titles."
