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 outperforms the Core Ultra 9 185H found in previous flagship models, which prioritized energy efficiency over raw power. This new processor is a true successor to the i9-14900HX and pairs perfectly with the GeForce RTX 5080 mobile GPU.

The Legion Pro 7i is loaded with modern features, including 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. It retains the increasingly rare RJ45 ethernet port and includes a privacy shutter for the webcam. The laptop's chassis, made of aluminum and magnesium, ensures 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 offers only a marginal improvement 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 laptop, equipped with an RTX 5080 at a 150W TGP rating and a 2560x1600 display, mirrors the specs of the Lenovo Legion Pro 7i, suggesting similar gaming performance.

"Nvidia has emphasized the AI capabilities of its 50-series GPUs over pure native rendering performance. While the RTX 5080's performance is disappointingly close to the RTX 4080, the gap closes when playing games that support multi-frame generation. Although 'fake frames' have become a meme, their impact on performance can be remarkable, significantly enhancing gameplay. This varies by game, with some like Alan Wake 2 experiencing more latency at higher settings, while others like Cyberpunk 2077 do not. With technologies like neural shaders on the horizon, investing in these future capabilities is a gamble on Nvidia and game developers' ability to integrate them into new and existing titles."
