Lenovo has opened preorders for its highly anticipated 2025 Lenovo Legion Pro 7i Gen 10 gaming laptop. This powerhouse is packed with the latest technology, featuring a cutting-edge Intel processor and Nvidia graphics card, a stunning high-resolution OLED display, and ample RAM and SSD storage right out of the box. Although listed as a preorder, Lenovo has begun shipping the laptop, 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, Intel Core Ultra 9 275HX CPU, Nvidia GeForce RTX 5080 GPU, 32GB of DDR5-6400MHz RAM, and 2TB (2x1TB) of SSD storage. The Intel Core Ultra 9 275HX offers significantly more power than the Core Ultra 9 185H found in previous generation flagship laptops, which focused more on energy efficiency and wasn't a true successor to the i9-14900HX. This new processor pairs perfectly 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 specifications. It retains the increasingly rare RJ45 ethernet port and includes a privacy shutter for the webcam. The chassis, made of aluminum and magnesium, ensures durability and a premium feel.
We've reviewed an RTX 5080 equipped gaming laptop
Although we haven't yet tested Lenovo's latest Legion laptop, we have evaluated a gaming laptop with the RTX 5080 GPU. The RTX 5080 offers only a slight improvement over the RTX 4080 in raw rasterized performance but significantly enhances performance in games that support DLSS 4.0 with multi-frame generation. The Gigabyte Aorus Master laptop, equipped with an RTX 5080 with a 150W TGP rating and a 2560x1600 display, showed similar performance to what we expect from the Lenovo Legion Pro 7i, given its identical TGP rating and display resolution.
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 rather than pure native rendering performance. Though the RTX 5080 performs disappointingly close to the RTX 4080, this gap narrows when playing games that support 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."
