Lenovo has introduced a new series of updated Legion gaming laptops. CES 2025. The star of the show is the 10th generation Legion Pro 7i. It supports the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5090 laptop GPU with a cooling system that delivers a thermal design power (TDP) of up to 250W. It also features an AI engine that dynamically adjusts CPU and GPU power to achieve optimal performance.
The 2025 Legion Pro 7i supports an Intel Core Ultra 9 275HX processor and the aforementioned RTX 5090 on the graphics side. Lenovo Legion Cold Front Steam cooling helps it maintain this high-end hardware. Add up to 64GB of DDR5 6400MHz RAM (2 x 32GB) and an onboard LA1+LA3 AI chip, and you've got an advanced machine for gaming on the go (and just about everything else you need). I could throw it at him).
The laptop features a 16-inch WQXGA (2560 x 1600, 16:10) OLED display. The screen supports frame rates up to 240Hz and has a response time of 1ms. Brightness can reach 500 nits. The Legion Pro 7i has two USB-C ports (one of which is Thunderbolt 4), three USB-A ports, and HDMI 2.1. With all that high-end equipment inside, it's quite a powerful machine with a starting weight of about 6 pounds.
It launches in March. But all that power doesn't come cheap: Lenovo says the Legion Pro 7i has an expected starting price of $2,399—and you can safely bet that RTX 5090 variants will cost more.
Meanwhile, the 10th-gen Legion Pro 5i (Intel) and Legion Pro 5 (AMD) offer an Intel Ultra 9 275HX processor (the same as the Pro 7i) or an AMD Ryzen 9 9955HX processor, respectively. Their thermal power is up to 200 W, which allows you to use a laptop with an RTX 5070 Ti graphics card for graphics. You can order configurations with up to 32 GB (2 x 16 GB) 6400 MHz DDR5 RAM.
It also features a 16-inch WQXGA (2560 x 1600, 16:10) OLED display with up to 500 nits of brightness and 1ms response time. But at 165Hz, its maximum frame rate isn't as fast as the Pro 7i.
Like the Pro 7i, the Pro 5 series features Lenovo AI Engine+ technology with scenario detection that dynamically adjusts CPU and GPU power based on current needs. It has the same port setup as the Pro 7i, but at least weighs a little less (5.58 pounds minimum).
Unfortunately, you'll have to wait longer for the more affordable Pro 5 series. The Legion Pro 5i goes on sale in May (starting at $1,499) and the Legion Pro 5 in June (starting at $1,399).
Lenovo also has a 10th-gen (non-Pro) version of the Legion 7i, which the company's odd marketing copy says is “for gamers actively pursuing STEM programs and fields.” It also supports Intel Ultra 9 275HX and RTX 5070 GPUs and features a 16-inch WQXGA (2560 x 1600) OLED display with up to 240Hz and 1ms response time. However, the Coldfront Hyper maxes out at a lower TDP of 145W, so you won't get the same top-tier performance as the more expensive Pro models.
Weighing in at 4.4 pounds, it's noticeably thinner and lighter than the Pro models. (The fact that it's more portable but still quite powerful probably explains Lenovo's weird “STEM student” design.) It has an all-metal body. It will be available in June for $1,599.
Finally, there's the 10th generation Legion 5i. In an oddly specific PR pitch, Lenovo says the model is aimed at “university gamers in non-STEM programs.” (Every niche needs to be covered!) It features a 15.1-inch WQXGA (2560 x 1600, 16:10, 165Hz, 1ms) OLED display and supports Intel Core Ultra 9 275HX GPU and RTX 5070 for laptops. (There is also an AMD variant with a Ryzen AI 7 350 processor.)
The Legion 5i is scheduled to launch in May, starting at $1,299.
