This Legion Pro 7i is a high end 16 inch OLED gaming laptop that stands out most for its RTX 5090, 24GB of VRAM, and strong performance for AI or other memory heavy work. The 240Hz 2560x1600 panel, Ultra 9 275HX, 64GB of RAM, and 2TB SSD make it a very loaded configuration. The main caveats are that it is not a touch screen, and the laptop 5090 is widely framed as closer to a power limited 5080 or 5070 Ti than a true desktop 5090. The $3000 price also draws comparisons to cheaper recent 5080 deals and earlier Lenovo pricing, so the value depends on how much the extra VRAM matters.
The RTX 5090 laptop configuration can deliver strong gaming frame rates on ultra settings, especially when CPU and GPU are undervolted.
The 5090 laptop variant includes 24GB of VRAM, which can help for VRAM-intensive workloads compared with some lower-tier laptop GPUs.
The deal can be competitive versus other 5090 laptop offers, with at least one comparison calling it the best 5090 laptop deal found.
The laptop GPU performance is described as comparable to a 5070 Ti Super desktop GPU, which may help set expectations for gaming performance.
The RTX 5090 laptop GPU is described as power limited around 180W, which can reduce frame rates and increase noise compared with higher-power desktop-class expectations.
The laptop is not a touch-screen, which can be a dealbreaker for shoppers who want touch input.
The RTX 5090 laptop GPU naming can mislead buyers into expecting a true desktop 5090 experience, with comments suggesting it behaves more like a 5070 Ti.
The $3,000 price is criticized as overpriced because it was reportedly lower around $2,900 at Micro Center and even lower directly from Lenovo at times.

I would only pay more for the 5090 if needed for AI workloads or other vram intensive tasks.
I'm getting 140+ FPS on ultra settings on Khazan: the First Berserker (GREAT GAME BTW) on my Lenovo Legion 7i non-Pro Gen 10 with rtx 5070, and can't imagine needing more GPU in a laptop. Same with Cyberpunk 2077 and Black Myth Wukong. Everything I throw at it, with both CPU & GPU undervolted.
Computers and other devices like TVs are some of the few things in the markets that are still more affordable now than they were decades ago.
Also I dislike how Nvidia markets their laptop GPUs with the same model names as their desktop GPUs. People will buy this thinking they're getting a true 5090 experience and it's more like a 5070Ti experience. They should come up with different model names for their laptop GPUs.
Also, FWIW, the 5080 version is now out of stock in my area and unavailable for shipping.

5070 ti has 8960 cores; 5090 laptop has 10496 cores;
This is comparable to desktop 5080 in cuda cores at 10752. Maybe if super had released with 24gb of VRAM, this would be comparable.
In terms of performance, this is power limited so maybe in frame rates and such would be comparable to 5070 ti. But, again you don't want 300w-400w dumped on your lap and a jet engine sound.

Actually, still available in some stores, so I'd definitely save the money. The laptop 5090 is not worth the price difference:
