The Lenovo Legion Pro 7i boasts a 16" 2560x1600 240Hz OLED display, powered by an Intel Core Ultra 9 275HX CPU and an Nvidia GeForce RTX 5080 GPU. It comes with 32GB of DDR5-6400MHz RAM and 2TB (2x1TB) of SSD storage. The Intel Core Ultra 9 275HX offers significantly more power compared to the Core Ultra 9 185H found in previous flagship laptops, which prioritized energy efficiency over performance. This new processor is a true successor to the i9-14900HX and pairs exceptionally well with the GeForce RTX 5080 mobile GPU.

The Legion Pro 7i also includes 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 specification. It retains the increasingly rare RJ45 ethernet port and comes with a privacy shutter for the webcam. The chassis, made from aluminum and magnesium, ensures durability and a premium feel.

We've Reviewed an RTX 5080 Equipped Gaming Laptop

Although we have not yet tested Lenovo's latest Legion Pro 7i, we have evaluated a gaming laptop featuring the RTX 5080 GPU. The RTX 5080 shows only a marginal improvement over the RTX 4080 in terms of raw rasterized performance, but offers significant enhancements when games utilize DLSS 4.0 with multi-frame generation. The Gigabyte Aorus Master laptop, which we reviewed, was equipped with an RTX 5080 with a 150W TGP rating and a 2560x1600 display. Given that the Lenovo Legion Pro 7i has the same TGP rating and display resolution, it should deliver comparable gaming performance.

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

"Here's the thing: Nvidia hasn't been shy about tying the 50-series to its AI capabilities versus pure native rendering performance. Though the RTX 5080 performs disappointingly close to the RTX 4080, this disappears when you're playing a game that supports multi-frame generation. While 'fake frames' have become a bit of a meme, the fact is that when it works, it's pretty amazing and dramatically improves performance. This varies game to game based upon how well it handles latency. Alan Wake 2, for example, tends to feel a bit more laggy at higher multiplier settings while Cyberpunk 2077 does not. With this technology and others, like neural shaders, coming to future games, there’s an argument to be made about buying into these future technologies. But, you’re buying on a promise while Nvidia and game developers work to add support to new and existing games."
