$3,599.99 at Lenovo
The Lenovo Legion Pro 7i boasts a 16" 2560x1600 240Hz OLED display, powered by an Intel Core Ultra 9 275HX CPU and an Nvidia GeForce RTX 5080 GPU. It's equipped with 32GB of DDR5-6400MHz RAM and 2TB (2x1TB) of SSD storage. The Intel Core Ultra 9 275HX offers a significant leap in performance over the Core Ultra 9 185H, which was more focused on energy efficiency and not a direct successor to the i9-14900HX. The new processor is an ideal complement to the GeForce RTX 5080 mobile GPU.
The Legion Pro 7i is up-to-date with features like WiFi 7 and Bluetooth 5.4, 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. It also retains a valuable RJ45 ethernet port, a rarity in modern laptops, and includes a privacy shutter for the webcam. The chassis, made of 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 with the RTX 5080 GPU. The RTX 5080 offers only a slight improvement over the RTX 4080 in terms of raw rasterized performance but significantly enhances performance when games support DLSS 4.0 with multi-frame generation. The Gigabyte Aorus Master, equipped with an RTX 5080 at a 150W TGP rating and a 2560x1600 display, demonstrated similar capabilities. Given that the Lenovo Legion Pro 7i shares the same TGP rating and display resolution, it should provide comparable gaming performance.
Gigabyte Aorus Master 16" RTX 5080 Laptop Review by Chris Coke
"Nvidia has strategically positioned its 50-series GPUs to leverage AI capabilities rather than solely focusing on native rendering performance. While the RTX 5080's performance is disappointingly close to the RTX 4080 in traditional rendering, the gap widens when playing games that utilize multi-frame generation. Although 'fake frames' have stirred some controversy, their impact on performance can be remarkable, significantly boosting frame rates. This performance varies between games, with some like Alan Wake 2 experiencing noticeable latency at higher settings, while others like Cyberpunk 2077 do not. With upcoming technologies like neural shaders on the horizon, investing in these future capabilities is compelling, though it hinges on the promise of future support from Nvidia and game developers."
