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 a robust 2TB (2x1TB) SSD storage. The Intel Core Ultra 9 275HX significantly outperforms 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 Gen 10 is loaded with 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. Despite the trend of removing traditional ports, the Legion Pro retains an RJ45 ethernet port and includes a privacy shutter for the webcam. The laptop's 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 Lenovo's latest Legion laptop, we have evaluated a gaming laptop with the RTX 5080 GPU. The RTX 5080 offers marginal improvements in raw rasterized performance over the RTX 4080 but excels significantly in games that support DLSS 4.0 with multi-frame generation. The Gigabyte Aorus Master laptop, which we reviewed, featured an RTX 5080 with a 150W TGP rating and a 2560x1600 display. Given that the Lenovo Legion Pro 7i shares these specifications, it should deliver comparable gaming performance.

Nvidia has positioned the 50-series GPUs to emphasize AI capabilities over traditional rendering performance. While the RTX 5080's performance is only slightly better than the RTX 4080, the difference becomes significant in games utilizing multi-frame generation. Although "fake frames" are often mocked, they can dramatically enhance performance when implemented effectively. The impact varies by game, with some like Alan Wake 2 experiencing increased latency at higher settings, whereas Cyberpunk 2077 handles it smoothly. With future games set to leverage technologies like neural shaders, investing in these GPUs is a bet on the future, as Nvidia and game developers continue to expand support across new and existing titles.
