The Lenovo Legion Pro 7i comes loaded 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 a whopping 2TB (2x1TB) of SSD storage. The Intel Core Ultra 9 275HX delivers significantly more power than the Core Ultra 9 185H found in previous flagship models, which was more focused on energy efficiency and not a direct successor to the i9-14900HX. The new processor pairs perfectly with the GeForce RTX 5080 mobile GPU.

Additional contemporary features include WiFi 7 and Bluetooth 5.4 connectivity, 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. The Legion Pro retains the increasingly rare RJ45 ethernet port and includes a privacy shutter for the webcam. The 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 tested Lenovo's latest Legion laptop, 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 shines significantly 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, mirrors the specs of the Lenovo Legion Pro 7i, suggesting comparable gaming performance.

"Nvidia has emphasized the AI capabilities of its 50-series GPUs over pure native rendering performance. While the RTX 5080's performance is disappointingly close to the RTX 4080, this gap closes when playing games that support multi-frame generation. Although 'fake frames' have become a meme, their impact can be remarkable, significantly boosting performance. This varies by game, depending on how well it manages latency. For instance, Alan Wake 2 may feel more laggy at higher multiplier settings, whereas Cyberpunk 2077 does not. With technologies like multi-frame generation and neural shaders on the horizon for future games, there's a compelling case for investing in these emerging technologies. However, you're essentially buying into a promise as Nvidia and game developers continue to integrate these features into new and existing titles."
