Unleash the Power: Discover the 10th-Gen Legion Pro 7i Gaming Laptop with RTX 5090 Graphics!

Lenovo is showcasing a refreshed lineup of Legion gaming laptops at CES 2025. The highlight of the event is the 10th-generation Legion Pro 7i. This model can accommodate up to an NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5090 Laptop GPU, backed by its cooling system which allows for a thermal design power (TDP) of up to 250W. It features an AI engine that instinctively modifies CPU and GPU power consumption for peak efficiency.

The 2025 Legion Pro 7i supports up to an Intel Core Ultra 9 275HX processor and the previously mentioned RTX 5090 for graphics. Lenovo’s Coldfront Vapor cooling solution enables it to handle that premium hardware. Add in up to 64GB of 6400Mhz DDR5 (2 X 32GB) RAM and the onboard LA1+LA3 AI chip, and you have a powerhouse for portable gaming (and nearly any demanding task).

This laptop boasts a maximum 16-inch WQXGA (2560 x 1600, 16:10) OLED display. The screen can achieve a refresh rate of up to 240Hz and has a response time of 1ms. It can attain 500 nits of brightness. The Legion Pro 7i is equipped with two USB-C ports (one supporting Thunderbolt 4), three USB-A ports, and HDMI 2.1. With all that top-tier hardware inside, it’s a substantial device, weighing in at approximately 6 lbs.

It is set to launch in March. However, all that power comes at a price: Lenovo states the Legion Pro 7i will have an anticipated starting price of $2,399 — and it’s safe to assume that variants featuring the RTX 5090 will command an additional premium.

In addition, the 10th-gen Legion Pro 5i (Intel) and Legion Pro 5 (AMD) provide options for up to an Intel Ultra 9 275HX (same as the Pro 7i) or an AMD Ryzen 9 9955HX, respectively. Their thermal performance accommodates up to 200W, enabling support for an RTX 5070 Ti Laptop for graphics capabilities. You can also configure it with up to 32GB (2 X 16GB) of 6400Mhz DDR5 RAM.

It features a similar 16-inch WQXGA (2560 x 1600, 16:10) OLED display, achieving up to 500 nits brightness with a 1ms response time. Notably, however, its maximum frame rates are limited to 165Hz, below that of the Pro 7i.

Similar to the Pro 7i, the Pro 5 series leverages Lenovo’s AI Engine+ with a Scenario Detection functionality that responsively adjusts CPU and GPU wattage based on real-time demands. It features the equivalent port arrangement as the Pro 7i but is marginally lighter (with a minimum weight of 5.58 lbs).

Regrettably, you will need to wait longer for the more budget-friendly Pro 5 series. The Legion Pro 5i is scheduled to launch in May (starting at $1,499), while the Legion Pro 5 is set to arrive in June (beginning at $1,399).

Lenovo has also introduced a 10th-gen iteration of the (non-“Pro”) Legion 7i, which the company’s rather specific PR material states is intended for “gamers rigorously studying in STEM disciplines and areas.” This model supports up to an Intel Ultra 9 275HX and RTX 5070 GPU and features a maximum 16-inch WQXGA (2560 x 1600) OLED capable of up to 240Hz and 1ms response. However, its Coldfront Hyper cooling is limited to a lower maximum of 145W TDP, meaning it won’t deliver the same premier performance as the more expensive Pro versions.

With a starting weight of 4.4 lbs., it’s distinctly thinner and lighter than the Pro variants. (The fact that it’s more portable yet still possesses respectable power likely elucidates Lenovo’s peculiar “STEM student” portrayal.) It boasts an all-metal chassis and will be accessible in June for $1,599.

Lastly, there is also a 10th-gen Legion 5i. Following the theme of their specific PR narrative, Lenovo claims this model is for “university gamers outside of STEM fields.” (They really want to target every niche!) It features a maximum 15.1-inch WQXGA (2560 x 1600, 16:10, 165Hz, 1ms) OLED and supports an Intel Core Ultra 9 275HX or RTX 5070 Laptop GPU. (There’s also an AMD variant featuring up to a Ryzen AI 7 350 CPU.)

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