The Lenovo Legion Pro 7i Gen 10 boasts a 16" 2560x1600 240Hz OLED display, powered by the formidable Intel Core Ultra 9 275HX CPU and the Nvidia GeForce RTX 5080 GPU. It comes with 32GB of DDR5-6400MHz RAM and 2TB (2x1TB) of SSD storage. The Intel Core Ultra 9 275HX significantly outperforms the Core Ultra 9 185H found in previous flagship models, which prioritized energy efficiency over raw power. Unlike the 185H, the 275HX is a true successor to the i9-14900HX, making it an ideal partner for the GeForce RTX 5080 mobile GPU.

The Legion Pro 7i Gen 10 is loaded with up-to-date features including 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 specifications. It retains the increasingly rare RJ45 ethernet port and includes a privacy shutter for the webcam. The laptop's chassis, crafted from aluminum and magnesium, ensures durability and a premium feel.

We've Reviewed an RTX 5080 Equipped Gaming Laptop

While we haven't yet had the chance to review Lenovo's latest Legion laptop, we have tested a gaming laptop equipped with the RTX 5080 GPU. The RTX 5080 offers only a slight edge over the RTX 4080 in terms of raw rasterized performance, but it significantly outperforms when games support DLSS 4.0 with multi-frame generation. The Gigabyte Aorus Master laptop, fitted with an RTX 5080 and a 150W TGP rating, along with a 2560x1600 display, provides a performance benchmark. The Lenovo Legion Pro 7i Gen 10 shares the same TGP rating and display resolution, suggesting comparable gaming performance.

"Nvidia has emphasized the AI capabilities of its 50-series over pure native rendering performance. While the RTX 5080's performance closely mirrors that of the RTX 4080, the difference vanishes when playing games that utilize multi-frame generation. Despite the term 'fake frames' becoming a meme, the technology offers a remarkable performance boost when it works well. The impact varies across games, depending on how they handle latency. For instance, Alan Wake 2 can feel more laggy at higher settings, whereas Cyberpunk 2077 does not. With future technologies like neural shaders on the horizon, investing in these advancements is a bet on future game support by Nvidia and developers."
