The Lenovo Legion Pro 7i comes equipped with a 16" 2560x1600 240Hz OLED display, powered by the Intel Core Ultra 9 275HX CPU and Nvidia GeForce RTX 5080 GPU. It also features 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 generation flagships, which prioritized energy efficiency rather than being a true successor to the i9-14900HX. This new processor perfectly complements the GeForce RTX 5080 mobile GPU.

Other cutting-edge features include support for 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. The Legion Pro retains the increasingly rare RJ45 ethernet port and includes a privacy shutter for the webcam. Its 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 evaluated a gaming laptop featuring the RTX 5080 GPU. The RTX 5080 slightly edges out the RTX 4080 in raw rasterized performance but excels significantly in games that support DLSS 4.0 with multi-frame generation. The Gigabyte Aorus Master laptop, equipped with an RTX 5080 and a 150W TGP rating along with a 2560x1600 display, delivered impressive results. The Lenovo Legion Pro 7i shares the same TGP rating and display resolution, suggesting it should provide comparable in-game performance.

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

"Nvidia has strategically tied the 50-series GPUs to its AI capabilities rather than solely focusing on native rendering performance. While the RTX 5080's performance is disappointingly close to the RTX 4080 without AI enhancements, the gap widens dramatically with games that support multi-frame generation. Although 'fake frames' have become a meme, their impact is undeniable when they work well, significantly boosting performance. This varies by game, depending on how well they manage latency. For example, Alan Wake 2 can feel laggy at higher multiplier settings, while Cyberpunk 2077 does not. With future technologies like neural shaders on the horizon, there's a compelling case for investing in these advancements. However, you're essentially buying into a promise as Nvidia and game developers continue to integrate these features into new and existing titles."
