$3,599.99 at Lenovo

The Lenovo Legion Pro 7i comes equipped 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 2TB (2x1TB) of SSD storage. The Intel Core Ultra 9 275HX significantly outpaces the Core Ultra 9 185H CPU found in previous flagship laptops. Unlike the 185H, which prioritized energy efficiency over raw power, the 275HX is a true successor to the i9-14900HX and pairs excellently with the GeForce RTX 5080 mobile GPU.

The Legion Pro 7i is also updated with the latest connectivity options, including WiFi 7 and Bluetooth 5.4, 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 an RJ45 ethernet port, which is increasingly rare, and includes a privacy shutter for the webcam. The chassis, made from 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 another gaming laptop powered by the RTX 5080 GPU. The RTX 5080 offers only a slight improvement over the RTX 4080 in terms of raw rasterized performance, but it significantly enhances performance in games that support DLSS 4.0 with multi-frame generation. The Gigabyte Aorus Master, equipped with an RTX 5080 with a 150W TGP rating and a 2560x1600 display, provided insights into what we can expect from the Lenovo Legion Pro 7i, which shares the same TGP rating and resolution.

Gigabyte Aorus Master 16" RTX 5080 Laptop Review by Chris Coke

"Nvidia's 50-series GPUs are heavily integrated with AI capabilities, emphasizing more than just native rendering performance. While the RTX 5080's performance may not significantly surpass the RTX 4080, this changes dramatically with games supporting multi-frame generation. Although 'fake frames' might be a running joke, their impact on performance can be stunning when implemented well. The effectiveness of this technology varies from game to game, influenced by latency handling. For instance, Alan Wake 2 might feel laggy at higher settings, whereas Cyberpunk 2077 does not. With upcoming technologies like neural shaders, investing in these GPUs means betting on future enhancements as Nvidia and game developers continue to integrate these features into both new and existing titles."
