Preorder Lenovo Legion Pro 7i Gen 10 with RTX 5080 for 2025

Lenovo has recently opened preorders for the highly anticipated Lenovo Legion Pro 7i Gen 10 gaming laptop for 2025. This powerhouse is packed with the latest technology, including a state-of-the-art Intel processor and Nvidia graphics card, a stunning high-resolution OLED display, and ample RAM and SSD storage right out of the box. Although the laptop is listed as a preorder, Lenovo has already begun shipping units, with deliveries expected as early as late April.

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 significantly more powerful than the Core Ultra 9 185H CPU found in previous generation flagship laptops. The 185H prioritized energy efficiency and wasn't a true successor to the i9-14900HX processor. This new processor, however, is a great match for the GeForce RTX 5080 mobile GPU.

Other cutting-edge features that keep the Legion Pro current 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 a USB Type-A port with USB 3.2 Gen 2 specification. The Legion Pro retains the RJ45 ethernet port, which is becoming increasingly rare, and features 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

While we haven't tested Lenovo's latest Legion laptop yet, 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 significantly outperforms it 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, provided insights into what we can expect from the Lenovo Legion Pro 7i, which shares the same TGP rating and display resolution.

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 gap narrows when you're playing a game that supports multi-frame generation. While 'fake frames' have become somewhat 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."
