The Lenovo Legion Pro 7i is a marvel of modern technology, featuring 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 significantly outperforms its predecessor, the Core Ultra 9 185H, which focused more on energy efficiency rather than raw power. The new processor complements the GeForce RTX 5080 mobile GPU perfectly.

Additional contemporary features include WiFi 7 and Bluetooth 5.4 support, 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 specification. The laptop retains the RJ45 ethernet port, a rarity in today's market, 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 haven't yet tested Lenovo's latest Legion laptop, we've evaluated a gaming laptop with the RTX 5080 GPU. The RTX 5080 offers marginal improvements over the RTX 4080 in terms of raw rasterized performance but shines significantly brighter in games that support DLSS 4.0 with multi-frame generation. The Gigabyte Aorus Master, featuring an RTX 5080 with a 150W TGP rating and a 2560x1600 display, serves as a good comparison. Given that the Lenovo Legion Pro 7i shares the same TGP rating and display resolution, it should deliver comparable gaming performance.

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 rather than pure native rendering performance. Though the RTX 5080 performs disappointingly close to the RTX 4080, this gap disappears when you're playing games that support 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."
