This Legion Pro 7i stands out as a high end gaming laptop with an RTX 5080, 240Hz OLED display, and strong battery life for a machine this powerful. The 5080 is a major step up from the 5070 Ti alternative, and the 16GB of VRAM is seen as a solid floor for gaming and AI work. The 64GB memory configuration is useful for mixed work and gaming, especially for tasks like Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024 or photo and video editing. The main tradeoff is size and power, since it is heavy and the power brick is heavy too. A strong fit if you want desktop class performance in a portable Windows machine.
Common Questions (5)
For gaming alone, 32GB is enough and 64GB is often unnecessary. 64GB can be useful for photo/video editing, Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024, AI work, or mixed work-and-gaming use.
Yes. It is described as a heavy gaming laptop with a heavy power brick, and it is typically used connected to the charger because of the power-hungry CPU and GPU.
This deal is the RTX 5080 configuration, not the 5070 Ti. The 5080 is a major step up from the linked alternative.
The Legion Pro 7i has much better non-gaming battery life than the HX3D/5080 7 Pro, which reportedly lasted under 2 hours away from the charger. Plugged-in gaming performance is only slightly behind and not noticeable without a frame counter.
Yes. One owner upgraded it to 96GB RAM and 12TB of SSD storage, so the machine can be expanded well beyond the stock configuration.

This is a gaming laptop. It has 240Hz OLED screen, power hungry GPU and CPU, Windows. It's heavy, needs to be connected to the power brick which is also super heavy.
Macbook pro is light and sips power. It doesn't have OLED screen. It cannot run most of the games. Is aimed for a completely different use case.
You'd spend 99% of the time on the Legion gaming or watching videos connected to the charger.
