Lenovo has opened preorders for its highly anticipated 2025 model, the Lenovo Legion Pro 7i Gen 10 gaming laptop. This powerhouse of a device comes loaded with cutting-edge technology, including the latest Intel processor and Nvidia graphics card, a stunning high-resolution OLED display, and ample RAM and SSD storage right out of the box. While Lenovo categorizes it as a preorder, the first units are already beginning to ship, with deliveries expected as early as late April.
New Release: Lenovo Legion Pro RTX 5080 Gaming Laptop
Lenovo Legion Pro 7i Gen 10 16" 2560x1600 OLED Intel Core Ultra 9 275HX RTX 5080 Gaming Laptop with 32GB RAM, 2TB SSD
$3,599.99 at Lenovo
The Lenovo Legion Pro 7i is outfitted 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 2TB (2x1TB) SSD storage setup. The Intel Core Ultra 9 275HX significantly outperforms the Core Ultra 9 185H CPU found in previous generation flagship laptops, which was more focused on energy efficiency and not a direct successor to the i9-14900HX processor. The new processor pairs perfectly with the GeForce RTX 5080 mobile GPU, offering a robust performance boost.
The Legion Pro 7i also boasts up-to-date features such as WiFi 7 and Bluetooth 5.4 support, USB Type-C with up to 140W of 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 chassis, constructed from aluminum and magnesium, ensures durability and a premium feel.
We've Reviewed an RTX 5080 Equipped Gaming Laptop
Although we have not yet tested Lenovo's latest Legion laptop, we have evaluated a gaming laptop equipped with the RTX 5080 GPU. The RTX 5080 shows only a marginal improvement over the RTX 4080 in terms of raw rasterized performance. However, it significantly enhances performance when games 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 similar gaming performance.

"Nvidia has been vocal about emphasizing the AI capabilities of the 50-series over pure native rendering performance. While the RTX 5080's performance is disappointingly close to that of the RTX 4080, this gap closes when playing games that support multi-frame generation. Although 'fake frames' have become somewhat of a meme, their impact when functioning correctly is remarkable and significantly boosts performance. This effect varies by game, depending on how well it manages latency. For instance, Alan Wake 2 can feel a bit more laggy at higher multiplier settings, whereas Cyberpunk 2077 does not. With the advent of technologies like multi-frame generation and neural shaders in future games, there's a compelling case for investing in these emerging technologies. However, buyers should be aware that they're investing in a promise, as Nvidia and game developers continue to add support to new and existing games."
