Lenovo has opened preorders for its cutting-edge 2025 model, the Lenovo Legion Pro 7i Gen 10 gaming laptop. Packed with the latest technology, this powerhouse features the newest Intel processor and Nvidia graphics card, a stunning high-resolution OLED display, and ample RAM and SSD storage right out of the box. Although officially listed as a preorder, Lenovo has begun shipping units, with deliveries expected as early as late April.
New Release: Lenovo Legion Pro RTX 5080 Gaming Laptop
Lenovo Legion Pro 7i Gen 10 16" 2560x1600 OLED Intel Core Ultra 9 275HX RTX 5080 Gaming Laptop with 32GB RAM, 2TB SSD
$3,599.99 at Lenovo
The Lenovo Legion Pro 7i is equipped with a 16" 2560x1600 240Hz OLED display, an Intel Core Ultra 9 275HX CPU, an Nvidia GeForce RTX 5080 GPU, 32GB of DDR5-6400MHz RAM, and 2TB (2x1TB) of SSD storage. The Intel Core Ultra 9 275HX is significantly more powerful than the Core Ultra 9 185H found in previous flagship laptops. Unlike the energy-efficient 185H, the 275HX is a true successor to the i9-14900HX, making it an excellent match for the GeForce RTX 5080 mobile GPU.
The Legion Pro 7i also boasts modern features such as WiFi 7 and Bluetooth 5.4 support, USB Type-C with up to 140W of Power Delivery, Thunderbolt 4 with DisplayPort 2.1 (40Gbps), and a USB Type-A port with USB 3.2 Gen 2 specifications. It retains a rare RJ45 ethernet port and includes a privacy shutter for the webcam. The chassis, crafted from aluminum and magnesium, ensures both durability and a premium feel.
We've reviewed an RTX 5080 equipped gaming laptop
While we haven't yet tested Lenovo's latest Legion laptop, we have reviewed a gaming laptop equipped with the RTX 5080 GPU. The RTX 5080 offers only a slight improvement over the RTX 4080 in raw rasterized performance, but it significantly outperforms it when games support DLSS 4.0 with multi-frame generation. The Gigabyte Aorus Master laptop, featuring an RTX 5080 with a 150W TGP rating and a 2560x1600 display, demonstrated similar performance expectations for the Lenovo Legion Pro 7i, which shares these specifications.
Gigabyte Aorus Master 16" RTX 5080 Laptop Review by Chris Coke
"Nvidia emphasizes the AI capabilities of its 50-series GPUs rather than focusing solely on native rendering performance. While the RTX 5080's performance is disappointingly close to the RTX 4080, this gap closes when playing games that support multi-frame generation. Though 'fake frames' are often mocked, they can significantly enhance performance when implemented correctly. The effectiveness varies by game, with some like Alan Wake 2 experiencing more latency at higher settings, while others like Cyberpunk 2077 do not. As future games incorporate technologies such as multi-frame generation and neural shaders, there's a compelling case for investing in these upcoming features. However, this investment is based on the promise that Nvidia and game developers will continue to support and integrate these technologies into new and existing games."
