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 equipped with 32GB of DDR5-6400MHz RAM and 2TB (2x1TB) of SSD storage. The Intel Core Ultra 9 275HX significantly outpaces the Core Ultra 9 185H found in previous flagship models, offering a true successor to the i9-14900HX. This powerful processor pairs perfectly with the GeForce RTX 5080 mobile GPU.

Additional features that keep the Legion Pro at the forefront of technology 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 specifications. The laptop also retains an RJ45 ethernet port, which is becoming increasingly rare, and includes a privacy shutter for the webcam. Its chassis, crafted from 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 featuring the RTX 5080 GPU. The RTX 5080 offers marginal improvements over the RTX 4080 in raw rasterized performance, but shines significantly when games utilize DLSS 4.0 with multi-frame generation. The Gigabyte Aorus Master laptop, equipped with an RTX 5080 and a 150W TGP rating alongside a 2560x1600 display, performed similarly to what we can 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 closes when playing games that support multi-frame generation. While 'fake frames' have become somewhat of a meme, the fact is that when it works, it's quite impressive and significantly boosts performance. This varies from game to game based on how well it handles latency. For example, Alan Wake 2 feels a bit more laggy at higher multiplier settings, whereas Cyberpunk 2077 does not. With technologies like multi-frame generation and neural shaders coming to future games, there's a compelling argument for investing in these technologies. However, you're buying into a promise while Nvidia and game developers work to integrate these features into new and existing titles."
