Lenovo has a new series of updated Legion laptops on Cost of CES 2025. The star of the show is the Legion Pro 7i of the 10th generation. It supports up to NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5090 Laptop GPU, thanks to its cooling that supports up to 250W thermal design power (TDP). It also has an AI engine that optimizes CPU and GPU power for optimal performance.
The 2025 Legion Pro 7i supports up to the Intel Core Ultra 9 275HX processor and the aforementioned RTX 5090 on the graphics side. Lenovo is Legion Coldfront Vapor Cooling helps support advanced devices. Step up to 64GB of 6400Mhz DDR5 (2 X 32GB) RAM and a built-in LA1+LA3 AI chip, and you’re looking at a souped-up machine for on-the-go gaming (and anything else you can throw at it).
The laptop has a 16-inch WQXGA (2560 x 1600, 16:10) OLED display. The screen supports up to 240Hz frame rate and has a response time of 1ms. It can reach 500 nits of brightness. Legion Pro 7i has two USB-C ports (one of them is Thunderbolt 4), three USB-A ports and HDMI 2.1. With all these advanced tools inside, it’s a bee machine, with a starting weight of about 6 lbs.
It starts in March. But all that horsepower doesn’t come cheap: Lenovo says the Legion Pro 7i has a starting price of $2,399 — and you can bet the RTX 5090 models will fetch a lot more money on top of that.
Currently, the 10th-gen Legion Pro 5i (Intel) and Legion Pro 5 (AMD) offer Intel Ultra 9 275HX (similar to the Pro 7i) or AMD Ryzen 9 9955HX, respectively. Their thermal power supports up to 200W, which supports up to RTX 5070 Ti Laptop graphics. You can order upgrades up to 32GB (2 X 16GB) of 6400Mhz DDR5 RAM.
It also has a 16-inch WQXGA (2560 x 1600, 16:10) OLED screen up to 500 nits with a response time of 1ms. But at 165Hz, its maximum framerate is not as high as the Pro 7i.
Like the Pro 7i, the Pro 5 series uses Lenovo’s AI Engine+ with a Scenario Detection feature that adjusts CPU and GPU power based on the needs of the moment. It has the same port setup as the Pro 7i, but weighs a little less (at least 5.58 lbs).
Unfortunately, you’ll have to wait a little longer to find the affordable Pro 5. The Legion Pro 5i launches in May (starting at $1,499), while the Legion Pro 5 arrives in June (starting at $1,399).
Lenovo also has a 10th-gen version of the (non-“Pro”) Legion 7i, which the company’s famous PR publication says is “a fast learner in STEM programming and fields.” It also supports up to Intel Ultra 9 275HX and RTX 5070 GPU and has a 16-inch WQXGA (2560 x 1600) OLED with up to 240Hz and 1ms. However, its Coldfront Hyper cooler comes out at a lower 145W TDP, so you won’t get the same high performance as the more expensive Pro models.
Starting at 4.4 lbs., it is significantly thinner and lighter than the Pro models. (The fact that it’s so portable yet so powerful explains the novelty of Lenovo’s “STEM student” design.) It has an all-metal chassis. It will be available in June for $1,599.
Finally, there is also the 10th-gen Legion 5i. In a surprising PR move, Lenovo says the model is for “non-STEM university players.” (I have to nail every bit!) It has a 15.1-inch WQXGA (2560 x 1600, 16:10, 165Hz, 1ms) OLED and supports up to an Intel Core Ultra 9 275HX and an RTX 5070 Laptop GPU. (There is also an AMD version with a Ryzen AI 7 350 CPU.)
The Legion 5i is expected to launch in May, starting at $1,299.
