Lenovo Legion Pro 7i 16 Gen 10: The new king of gaming laptops

Lenovo delivers another knockout gaming laptop.

- MARK KNAPP

Lenovo's Legion laptop family has been setting a high bar for gaming laptops (fave.co/3n3aNKv) over the last few years. While the Legion 9 series may be top dog in that family, the Legion Pro 7 series tends to mark a balance of class-leading performance, build quality, and value. The Lenovo Legion Pro 7i 16 Gen 10 continues that legacy nicely, offering extreme CPU and GPU performance, all in a robust chassis with an excellent display. With a starting price of $2,849 and a bump up to $3,599 to get the RTX 5080-equipped system tested here, the Lenovo Legion Pro 7i 16 Gen 10 is solidly in the high-end gaming laptop category. But from our first benchmark to the last, it wastes no time cementing itself as one of the best gaming laptops you can get right now.
