Review Highlights
Build Quality
The Legion Pro 7i Gen 10 features an all‑aluminum chassis, giving it a premium feel compared to many competitors that still use plastic. This solid construction contributes to both durability and a sleek aesthetic.
Performance
Out‑of‑the‑box performance is respectable, but switching the laptop to Performance Mode unlocks its full potential, allowing it to compete with high‑end gaming machines such as the ROG Strix Scar 16 and Gigabyte Aorus Master 16.
Keyboard
The built‑in keyboard delivers strong tactile feedback, avoiding the mushy feel common in cheaper membrane keyboards. In our testing, a typist achieved 116 wpm with zero errors, highlighting the keyboard’s responsiveness.
RGB Lighting
The rear exhaust ports behind the display host 18 individually controllable lighting zones, making the Legion Pro 7i one of the most customizable RGB setups we’ve encountered in a laptop.
Upgradability
- Battery: 99 Wh internal battery (replaceable).
- Storage: Two user‑accessible M.2 slots; the base model ships with a 1 TB SSD, and additional SSDs can be added.
- Memory: Two SODIMM slots support upgrades beyond the stock 64 GB configuration.
- Wi‑Fi: M.2 Wi‑Fi card is also replaceable.
Pricing and Availability
When originally reviewed, the Legion Pro 7i Gen 10 carried an MSRP of $3,200. With the current 18 % discount, it now offers one of the most affordable ways to own an RTX 5080‑powered gaming laptop without sacrificing premium features like an all‑metal chassis and an OLED screen.
