Lenovo’s 10th generation Legion Pro 7i gaming laptop supports up to RTX 5090 graphics

Lenovo’s gaming laptops are getting a major update thanks to… . The new series of laptops includes what might be the star of the show, the 10th generation Legion Pro 7i. It supports up to an NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5090 laptop GPU thanks to a cooling system that enables up to 250W of thermal design power (TDP). It also uses an AI engine to dynamically adjust CPU and GPU wattage for optimal performance.

It will also support up to an Intel Core Ultra 9 275HX processor to pair with a high-powered NVIDIA graphics card. Lenovo Cold Legion vapor Cooling helps support these advanced devices. Furthermore, you get up to 64GB of DDR5 RAM (2 x 32GB) at 6400MHz and an on-board LA1+LA3 AI chip. All of this is a recipe for improved gaming on the go – or whatever you need to do anywhere, anytime.

The laptop has a 16-inch OLED display (2560 x 1600, 16:10). The screen supports a frame rate of up to 240Hz and has a response time of 1ms. It can reach up to 500 nits of brightness. The Legion Pro 7i has two USB-C ports (one of which is Thunderbolt 4), three USB-A ports, and an HDMI 2.1 port. With all that high-end hardware inside, it’s quite a beefy machine, with a starting weight of around 6 pounds.

It launches in March. But all that horsepower isn’t cheap: Lenovo says the Legion Pro 7i starts at an expected price of $2,399 — and you can safely bet that the RTX 5090 variants will fetch a premium on top of that.

Meanwhile, the 10th Gen Legion Pro 5i (Intel) and Legion Pro 5 (AMD) offer up to an Intel Ultra 9 275HX (same as the Pro 7i) or AMD Ryzen 9 9955HX, respectively. Its thermal power supports up to 200W, allowing up to an RTX 5070 Ti laptop to be used for graphics. You can order configurations with up to 32GB (2 x 16GB) of 6400MHz DDR5 RAM.

It also has a 16-inch OLED WQXGA (2560 x 1600, 16:10) display at up to 500 nits with a 1ms response time. But at 165Hz, maximum frame rates don’t quite reach the Pro 7i’s level.

Like the Pro 7i, the Pro 5 series uses Lenovo AI Engine+ with scenario detection that dynamically adjusts CPU and GPU power based on the needs of the moment. It has the same port setup as the Pro 7i, but at least it weighs a little less (at least 5.58 pounds).

Unfortunately, you’ll have to wait a little longer for the more affordable Pro 5 series. The Legion Pro 5i will launch in May (starting at $1,499), while the Legion Pro 5 arrives in June (starting at $1,399).

Lenovo also has a 10th-gen version of the Legion 7i (non-“Pro”), which the company’s PR copy oddly says is intended for “gamers actively studying in STEM programs and fields.” It also supports up to an Intel Ultra 9 275HX and RTX 5070 GPU and has a 16-inch WQXGA (2560 x 1600) OLED display with up to 240Hz and 1ms. However, the Coldfront Hyper cooling system maxes out at 145W TDP, so you won’t get the same high-level performance as the more expensive Pro models.

Starting at 4.4 pounds, it’s noticeably thinner and lighter than the Pro models. (The fact that it’s more portable but still decently sturdy probably explains the strange frame of Lenovo’s “STEM Student” model.) It has an all-metal chassis. It will be available in June for $1,599.

Finally, there’s also the 10th generation Legion 5i. Staying true to its oddly specific PR framework, Lenovo says this model is for “university gamers in non-STEM programs.” (You’ll have to specify everywhere!) It has a 15.1-inch OLED display (2560 x 1600, 16:10, 165 Hz, 1 ms) and supports up to an Intel Core Ultra 9 275HX and an RTX 5070 laptop GPU. (There’s also AMD version with up to a Ryzen AI 7 350 CPU.)

The Legion 5i is scheduled to launch in May, starting at $1,299.
