The Lenovo Legion Pro 7i Gen 10 boasts a 16" 2560x1600 240Hz OLED display, powered by an Intel Core Ultra 9 275HX CPU and an Nvidia GeForce RTX 5080 GPU. It comes with 32GB of DDR5-6400MHz RAM and a robust 2TB (2x1TB) SSD storage. The Intel Core Ultra 9 275HX significantly outperforms the Core Ultra 9 185H found in previous models, which was more focused on energy efficiency rather than being a direct successor to the i9-14900HX. This new processor perfectly complements the capabilities of the GeForce RTX 5080 mobile GPU.

The Legion Pro 7i is equipped with the latest connectivity options, 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 also retains a valuable RJ45 ethernet port, becoming increasingly rare in modern laptops, and includes a privacy shutter for the webcam. The chassis, crafted from durable aluminum and magnesium, ensures a premium feel and build quality.

While we have yet to test the latest Lenovo Legion Pro 7i Gen 10, we have hands-on experience with another gaming laptop powered by the RTX 5080 GPU. The RTX 5080 offers a marginal improvement over the RTX 4080 in raw rasterized performance but shines when games utilize DLSS 4.0 with multi-frame generation. Our review of the Gigabyte Aorus Master laptop, which features an RTX 5080 with a 150W TGP rating and a 2560x1600 display, indicates that the Lenovo Legion Pro 7i should deliver comparable performance in gaming scenarios.

"Nvidia has heavily emphasized the AI capabilities of its 50-series GPUs, rather than focusing solely on native rendering performance. While the RTX 5080's performance is only slightly better than the RTX 4080, the difference becomes significant in games that support multi-frame generation. Although 'fake frames' have become somewhat of a meme, their impact can be remarkable, significantly boosting performance when implemented correctly. The effectiveness can vary depending on the game's handling of latency; for instance, Alan Wake 2 may feel more laggy at higher multiplier settings, whereas Cyberpunk 2077 does not. With upcoming technologies like neural shaders, investing in these future capabilities is a gamble on the promise of enhanced performance as Nvidia and game developers continue to integrate these features into new and existing titles."
