$3,599.99 at Lenovo
The Lenovo Legion Pro 7i boasts a 16" 2560x1600 240Hz OLED display, powered by the Intel Core Ultra 9 275HX CPU and Nvidia GeForce RTX 5080 GPU. It comes with 32GB of DDR5-6400MHz RAM and a robust 2TB (2x1TB) SSD storage. The Intel Core Ultra 9 275HX significantly outperforms the Core Ultra 9 185H found in previous generation flagship laptops, which was more focused on energy efficiency. The new processor is a true successor to the i9-14900HX and perfectly complements the GeForce RTX 5080 mobile GPU.
Additional modern features include WiFi 7 and Bluetooth 5.4 support, 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 spec. The laptop retains the increasingly rare RJ45 ethernet port and includes a privacy shutter for the webcam. The 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 Pro 7i Gen 10, we have reviewed a gaming laptop featuring the RTX 5080 GPU. The RTX 5080 shows only a slight edge over the RTX 4080 in raw rasterized performance but shines significantly when games support DLSS 4.0 with multi-frame generation. The Gigabyte Aorus Master, equipped with an RTX 5080 and a 150W TGP rating, along with a 2560x1600 display, delivered performance that the Lenovo Legion Pro 7i, with its matching specifications, should closely replicate in gaming scenarios.
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 gap closes 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. For example, Alan Wake 2 tends to feel a bit more laggy at higher multiplier settings, while Cyberpunk 2077 does not. With technologies like multi-frame generation and neural shaders coming to future games, there’s a strong case for investing in these future technologies. However, you're buying into a promise as Nvidia and game developers work to add support to new and existing titles."
