The short version

The Legion Pro 7i Gen 10 pairs Intel's Core Ultra 9 275HX with an RTX 5080 at 175 W, 32GB of DDR5-6400 on SO-DIMMs and two M.2 drives in a 2.72 kg aluminum chassis with a 16-inch 2560 x 1600 OLED at 240 Hz. Tom's Hardware and PC Gamer praised its frame rates, screen and upgradability, while noting poor battery life and intrusive software. It suits desktop-replacement buyers who rarely unplug.

Pros

  • Tom's Hardware and PC Gamer measured top-tier gaming frame rates from the 175 W RTX 5080
  • 240 Hz OLED panel rated as outstanding by Tom's Hardware
  • Fully upgradable: two SO-DIMM slots, two M.2 slots, and a replaceable 99.99 Wh battery
  • Aluminum design with customizable RGB lighting
  • Thunderbolt 4 and a 140 W USB-C port with DisplayPort 2.1

Cons

  • Short battery life: about 4 and a half hours in Tom's Hardware's test
  • Tom's Hardware found no biometric login and persistent software ads
  • Heavy at 2.72 kg with a 400 W proprietary charger

Best for

  • Desktop-replacement buyers who want maximum frame rates
  • Users who plan to upgrade memory and storage over time

What reviewers and owners say

  • Tom's Hardware

    Positive

    Found top gaming results and an excellent OLED in a premium aluminum chassis, but flagged no biometric login, intrusive ads and very short battery life.

  • PC Gamer

    Positive

    Praised frame rates that beat a Razer Blade 16 with an RTX 5090 at 1080p and the fine-grained performance profiles, while criticizing the still-weak battery life.

Common questions

Can the memory and SSD be upgraded?

Yes. Tom's Hardware reports two SO-DIMM slots and two M.2 drives behind a heatsink, and calls the Legion about as upgradable as gaming laptops get.

How long does it last on battery?

Tom's Hardware measured 4 hours and 37 minutes in its mixed test at 150 nits, the shortest in its comparison group despite the large 99.99 Wh battery.
