The Lenovo Legion Pro 7i comes 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 significantly outperforms the Core Ultra 9 185H found in previous flagship laptops, which was more focused on energy efficiency and not a direct successor to the i9-14900HX. The new processor pairs perfectly with the GeForce RTX 5080 mobile GPU.

Additional modern features that keep the Legion Pro current include 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. The laptop retains an RJ45 ethernet port, which is becoming increasingly rare, along with a privacy shutter for the webcam. The chassis, crafted from aluminum and magnesium, ensures durability and a premium feel.

We've reviewed an RTX 5080 equipped gaming laptop

While we have yet to test the latest Lenovo Legion Pro 7i Gen 10, we have evaluated a gaming laptop featuring the RTX 5080 GPU. The RTX 5080 shows only a slight improvement over the RTX 4080 in raw rasterized performance, but offers a significant boost when games utilize DLSS 4.0 with multi-frame generation. The Gigabyte Aorus Master laptop, fitted with an RTX 5080 with a 150W TGP rating and a 2560x1600 display, mirrors the specifications of the Lenovo Legion Pro 7i, suggesting comparable gaming performance.

"Nvidia has positioned its 50-series GPUs as leaders in AI technology rather than solely focusing on native rendering performance. Although the RTX 5080's performance is disappointingly close to the RTX 4080, the gap closes significantly in games that support multi-frame generation. While the concept of 'fake frames' might be mocked, their effectiveness when implemented correctly can dramatically enhance gameplay. The impact varies by game; for instance, Alan Wake 2 may feel slightly more laggy at higher settings, whereas Cyberpunk 2077 does not. With emerging technologies like neural shaders on the horizon, investing in these future capabilities is a gamble on Nvidia and game developers to expand support across new and existing titles."
