It’s a good year to be a gamer, whether you’re competitive or casual. If you’re a Lenovo fan(like me) this year we’re getting some redesigns, some spec bumps and a few new additions across the lineup. This year the Lenovo Legion Pro laptop lineup puts its focus on competition with next generation power. The Legion Pro lineup comes in both the 5I and 7I configurations.
Both configurations come packing the Intel Core Ultra 9 275HX processors, New this year you can get the Legion Pro 5I with an AMD Ryzen 9 9555HX for a second option. Either option is sure to pack in the frames. The Legion Pro 7I is packed with performance for the most competive while the the 5I cuts a few corners for the causal, yet still intense player.
The 7I features the Lenovo Coldfront Vapor Chamber, backed with a 250W TDP and the Lenovo AI Engine to balance those power levels and keep you in the battle. These thermal technologies allow support for GPUs up to the 5090 with a 240hz response screen and 500 nits brightness. Stay locked in with the dual USB C ports and Wi-Fi 7. Both versions come with a customizable 24-zone RGB True Strike Keyboard with interchangeable keycaps.
The Legion 7I is a good option for those still looking for an immersive gaming experience but need to do some creative work If you’re not in the market for the Pro model the Legion 7I is a good option for those still looking an immersive gaming experience, but need to do some creative work, or modeling work on the side where a traditional productivity laptop just won’t do. The Legion 7I packs up to a 240hz screen, a 16-inch WQXGA PrueSight OLED screen with a 1,000,000:1 contrast ratio and 100 percent DCPI3. You can get up to a 5070 GPU and an Intel Core Ultra 9 HX CPU. Customizable RGB lighting, WIFI 7, and 145-watt TDP.
If you’re looking for a do-it-all laptop, the Legion 5 series is the answer. The Legion 5i series has a thin and light design that slips easily into a backpack without compromising features or finish. Processors up to the Core Ultra 9 275HX are still available. The Legion 5 comes in with the AMD Ryzen 7 350 processor, pushing the 15.3 display at 165hz. Both systems come equipped with up to the 5070 GPU. This year the Legion 5 series is 13 percent lighter than the previous models while still having enough power to play AAA games on the go.
If you’re a pro gamer or an enthusiast looking for pure power and expandability, the new Legion Tower 5I might be the best option. The 5I features up to a Core Ultra 9 275HX desktop processor, while the Legion 5 rocks the AMD Ryzen 9 7950X 3D chip. All of these models have Nvidia 40 series graphics cards. The Legion 5 and 5I also come with up to six customizable ARGB fans, all customizable through the Legion Space app. The Legion 7I comes with Coldfront liquid cooling with a TDP of 250 watts; the air-cooled Legion5 models come in at 180 watts TDP.
