Lenovo Legion Pro Series Legion Pro 7i Gen 10 (16 83F50019US Review

The Legion Pro 7i Gen 10 is a desktop replacement that doesn't ask for permission. It's built around Intel's 24-core 275HX CPU and NVIDIA's flagship RTX 5090 GPU, a combo that lands in the 95th percentile for both processing and graphics power. That's the kind of hardware that makes 4K video editing feel smooth and turns the latest AAA games into a showcase. It backs that up with a massive 64GB of RAM and a 2TB SSD, putting its overall spec sheet in the top 10% of all laptops we track. The trade-off for all that power is clear from the start: at 2.72kg, it's a chunky machine, scoring in just the 8th percentile for compactness. This isn't a laptop you'll forget is in your bag.

Let's talk about what this thing can do. That RTX 5090 with 24GB of VRAM is a monster, sitting in the 95th percentile. For gaming, that translates to buttery-smooth frame rates at the native 2560x1600 resolution of its stunning 240Hz OLED screen. For creators, it means GPU-accelerated tasks in apps like Blender or DaVinci Resolve will fly. The 24-core Intel CPU matches that performance, also hitting the 95th percentile. It chews through multicore workloads like 3D rendering and complex simulations. Pair that with 64GB of blazing-fast DDR5 RAM, and you have a system with virtually no bottlenecks. The 99Wh battery is decently sized, but with this hardware, you're not going far from an outlet. It's built to be plugged in and pushed hard.

With prices ranging from $3320 to $3450 across different vendors, you're looking at a serious investment. For pure performance per dollar, it's actually compelling if your work demands this level of hardware. You're getting near-desktop-tier components in a (heavy) laptop form factor. The $130 spread isn't huge, but shopping around could net you a better deal. When you compare it to building a desktop with similar specs, the premium for portability is there, but so is the convenience of an all-in-one system with that fantastic OLED display.

Stacked against the competition, it's a numbers game. The Apple MacBook Pro M4 Max might challenge it in some creative apps and has far better battery life, but it can't touch the RTX 5090's raw gaming and rendering power. The MSI Vector 16 HX and Gigabyte AORUS MASTER 16 are its closest rivals, often with similar Intel HX CPUs and high-end GPUs. The Legion Pro 7i often wins on display quality with its OLED panel and sometimes on RAM configuration. Compared to the ASUS Zenbook Duo or Microsoft Surface Laptop, it's a different beast entirely. Those machines sacrifice huge amounts of performance for portability and battery life. This Lenovo is for when performance is the only metric that matters.

The Legion Pro 7i Gen 10 is an easy recommendation if you need the absolute most power you can get in a laptop and don't care about weight or battery life. Its 95th percentile scores in CPU and GPU performance are backed by a top-tier screen and tons of RAM. It's a specialist tool that excels at its core tasks: high-end gaming and professional content creation. If you value portability or all-day battery, look at the MacBook Pro or a Zenbook. But if your spreadsheet says you need a mobile workstation that performs like a desktop, this is one of the best options out there.
