The Legion Pro 7 is Lenovo's highest end 16" gaming laptop, featuring a full metal chassis and a gorgeous OLED display with 2.5K 189ppi resolution, 240Hz refresh rate, HDR 1000 True Black certification, and 100% DCI-P3 color gamut.

This particular configuration is equipped with an Intel Core Ultra 9 275HX processor, GeForce RTX 5080 GPU, 32GB of DDR5-6400MHz RAM, and two 1TB SSDs (2TB total). The Intel Core Ultra 9 275HX Arrow Lake-HX processor boasts a max turbo frequency of 5.4GHz with a whopping 24 cores and 40MB total L2 cache. It's an excellent CPU for gaming, productivity, and AI. Both the RAM and SSD are user-upgradeable if you plan on adding more once the prices of flash-based memory and storage drop to more reasonable levels.

The RTX 5080 mobile GPU is roughly 15%-20% more powerful than the RTX 5070 Ti. Compared to previous generation GPUs, it's actually slightly more powerful than the RTX 4090 and pulls ahead even further if the game supports DLSS 4.5. You should be able to run any game out there at consistent 60+ fps framerates on the native 2.5K resolution, even the newest titles like Pragmata and Crimson Desert.

The RTX 5070 performs about 5%-10% better than the RTX 4070 that it replaces. That's not a very big generational improvement, but performance gap in games that support DLSS 4.5. It should play most games at 60fps or higher even at 2.5K resolution, although extremely high demand games like Cyberpunk 2077 will require some graphics settings adjustment to get there.

The Nvidia GeForce RTX 5090 is the most powerful mobile graphics card on the market, performing about 15% better than the RTX 5080. It also has more VRAM (24GB vs 16GB), which can come in handy when playing games at higher resolutions (like on an attached 4K monitor) or if you're planning to use this as a mobile creator or AI workstation. This is the only mobile GPU currently available that can run most games at 60+fps on the laptop's greater-than-4K resolution display.
