Lenovo Legion Pro 7i 16" Gen 10 Eclipse Black 2025

The Legion Pro 7i Gen 10 is a performance monster with a stunning OLED screen and a top-tier RTX 5080. It's heavy and not portable at all, but the specs justify the size. At $2,500 USD it's a strong buy, just avoid the inflated European listings.

The Core Ultra 9 275HX is a monster, with 8 performance cores boosting to 5.4GHz and 16 efficiency cores handling background tasks. Paired with the RTX 5080 at 175W TGP, this laptop chews through games and GPU-heavy workloads. The 32GB of DDR5-6400 RAM and 1TB Gen 5 SSD keep things snappy, though the storage capacity is just average for this class. The OLED display is a genuine highlight, 500 nits bright with HDR 1000 True Black and full DCI-P3 coverage. Colors pop, motion is smooth at 240Hz, and it's one of the best screens we've seen on a gaming laptop.

Against the ASUS ROG Zephyrus G14, the Legion wins on raw power and screen size but loses badly on portability. The G14 is a 14-inch machine you can actually carry. The Legion is a 16-inch beast that stays on your desk. The Apple MacBook Pro M4 Max is the better choice for creators who need battery life and macOS, but it can't touch the Legion's gaming performance per dollar. The HP OMEN Transcend 14 and Samsung Galaxy Book5 Pro are thinner and lighter, but they're not in the same performance league. If you want maximum frames per second and don't care about weight, the Legion is the pick.

At $2,500 in the US, this is actually a solid deal for an RTX 5080 laptop with an OLED screen. But the European pricing is all over the place. We're seeing EUR 3,891 to EUR 7,761 across four listings in Germany, Spain, France, and Italy. That's a spread of nearly EUR 3,870 for the same machine. If you're in Europe, shop around hard. The lower end of that range is competitive. The upper end is highway robbery. For the specs you're getting, anything under EUR 4,000 is fair. Anything above EUR 6,000 is a hard pass.

The Lenovo Legion Pro 7i Gen 10 is a desktop replacement that doesn't apologize for its size. You get an Intel Core Ultra 9 275HX with 24 cores, an RTX 5080 with 16GB of VRAM, and a 16-inch OLED panel running at 240Hz. This thing is built to crush games and creative work, and our database puts the CPU and screen in the 96th percentile. That's top of the charts territory.

It's also heavy at 3.17kg and about as compact as a cinder block, landing in the 8th percentile for portability. But if you're buying a Legion Pro 7i, you're not stuffing it in a messenger bag every day. You want raw power, and this delivers.

Skip this if you need a laptop you can actually carry around. At 3.17kg with a 400W power brick, this is a desktop that happens to fold shut. If you travel for work or school, get an ASUS ROG Zephyrus G14 or a MacBook Pro instead. Also skip it if you're in Europe and can only find listings near the EUR 7,761 mark. That's a terrible deal for this hardware.

Buy this if you want a no-compromise gaming laptop that can also handle video editing, 3D rendering, and heavy multitasking. The RTX 5080 and Core Ultra 9 combo is about as good as it gets in a laptop right now. Just know that you're trading portability for power. This is a machine that lives on a desk, plugged into a 400W power brick. If that sounds fine, you'll love it.
