Preorder the New for 2025 Lenovo Legion Pro 7i Gen 10 RTX 5080 Gaming Laptop

Lenovo has opened up preorders for its new-for-2025 Lenovo Legion Pro 7i Gen 10 gaming laptop. This laptop has all the bells and whistles, including the latest and greatest Intel processor and Nvidia graphics card, a gorgeous high-resolution OLED display, and plenty of RAM and SSD storage out of the box. Although Lenovo still lists this model as a preorder, the laptop is already starting to ship out with delivery as soon as late April.

New Release: Lenovo Legion Pro RTX 5080 Gaming Laptop

The Lenovo Legion Pro 7i is equipped with a 16" 2560x1600 240Hz OLED display, Intel Core Ultra 9 275HX CPU, Nvidia GeForce RTX 5080 GPU, 32GB of DDR5-6400MHz RAM, and 2TB (2x1TB) of SSD storage.The Intel Core Ultra 9 275HX is much more powerful than the Core Ultra 9 185H CPU you'll find in previous generation flagship laptops. The 185H focused more on energy efficiency and wasn't a true successor to the i9-14900HX processor. This new processor is, and it's a great match with the GeForce RTX 5080 mobile GPU.

Other current-gen features that bring the Legion Pro up to date include 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 even a USB Type-A port with USB 3.2 Gen 2 spec. The Legion Pro keeps the RJ45 ethernet port, which is getting rare nowadays, and a privacy shutter for the webcam. The chassis is still made of aluminum and magnesium, making it durable and premium.

We've reviewed an RTX 5080 equipped gaming laptop

Although we haven't yet test out Lenovo's newest generation Legion laptop, we have tested out a gaming laptop equipped with the RTX 5080 GPU. The RTX 5080 performs only slightly better than the RTX 4080 in raw rasterized performance, but performs significantly better if the game supports DLSS 4.0 with multi-frame generation. The Gigabyte Aorus Master laptop was equipped with an RTX 5080 with a 150W TGP rating and a 2560x1600 display. The Lenovo Legion Pro 7i boasts the same TGP rating and the same resolution display, so it should offer roughly similar performance in games.

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 disappears when you're playing a game that supports 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. Alan Wake 2, for example, tends to feel a bit more laggy at higher multiplier settings while Cyberpunk 2077 does not. With this technology and others, like neural shaders, coming to future games, there’s an argument to be made about buying into these future technologies. But, you’re buying on a promise while Nvidia and game developers work to add support to new and existing games."
