Lenovo has launched its tenth-generation Legion gaming laptop lineup, built around NVIDIA’s RTX 50-series (Blackwell) graphics architecture and Intel’s Core Ultra 200HX processors. The 2026 refresh spans three tiers — the Pro 7i, the standard 7i, and the Pro 5i — each with revised cooling systems and updated specifications.
GPU Platform: NVIDIA RTX 50 Series (Blackwell)
The 2026 lineup adopts NVIDIA’s GeForce RTX 50 Series across all tiers, delivering increased AI TOPS throughput that Lenovo’s updated AI Engine+ uses for performance and thermal management.
DLSS 4, exclusive to the 50 Series, introduces Multi-Frame Generation to improve rendered frame output with lower per-frame computational overhead. The flagship RTX 5090 configuration ships with 24GB of GDDR7 VRAM; the RTX 5070 Ti carries 12GB — both increases over their predecessors.
Processors
Intel Core Ultra 200HX processors serve as the primary CPU platform. The Pro 7i tops out at the Core Ultra 9 275HX, while the Pro 5i supports up to the Core Ultra 7 255HX. The Pro 5i also offers the AMD Ryzen 9 9955HX as an alternative CPU option.
Model Breakdown
Legion Pro 7i (Gen 10) — The high-end configuration supports up to an RTX 5090 at 175W TGP paired with the Core Ultra 9 275HX. The 16-inch WQXGA OLED display runs at 240Hz with 500 nits brightness and VESA TrueBlack 1000 certification. Cooling is managed by Coldfront: Vapor — a vapor chamber combined with Hyperchamber technology — sustaining a 250W total system TDP. Memory reaches 64GB DDR5 (6400MHz), storage up to 2TB PCIe Gen 5, battery 99Whr with Super Rapid Charge, and weight approximately 2.72 kg. The sandblasted aluminum chassis includes per-key RGB and swappable keycaps.
Legion 7i (Gen 10) — The standard 7i is 10% thinner and 7% lighter than the previous generation, weighing approximately 1.99 kg. It supports up to an RTX 5070 at 145W TDP with a 16-inch OLED at 240Hz. Memory tops out at 32GB DDR5, storage at 2TB PCIe Gen 4, and battery at 84Whr. Wi-Fi 7 is included, and the model is available in Glacier White.
Legion Pro 5i (Gen 10) — The mid-range tier offers GPU configurations from the RTX 5060 to the RTX 5070 Ti, with display choices between a 15.6-inch OLED or IPS panel at 165Hz or 240Hz. Memory reaches 32GB DDR5, storage 1TB PCIe Gen 4, and battery 80Whr. Cooling uses Coldfront: Hyper, which redirects exhaust away from the keyboard deck. Weight is approximately 2.3 kg.
Pricing and Availability
Prices vary by region and configuration.
| Model | Starting Price (USD) | Starting Price (INR) | Availability |
|---|---|---|---|
| Legion Pro 7i (Gen 10) | $2,399 | ₹2,59,000 | March 2026 |
| Legion 7i (Gen 10) | $1,599 | ₹1,45,000 | June 2026 |
| Legion Pro 5i (Gen 10) | $1,299 | ₹1,15,000 | May 2026 |
Market Positioning
The three models address distinct user profiles. The Pro 7i’s 250W thermal envelope and RTX 5090 option suit users with sustained GPU-intensive workloads — high-refresh-rate gaming, 3D rendering, or simulation — though its 2.72 kg weight reflects those thermal demands.
The standard 7i, at under 2 kg with a larger battery and Wi-Fi 7, is better suited as a portable daily-use system that retains meaningful GPU performance. The Pro 5i covers the widest configuration range, with both Intel and AMD CPU options and GPU tiers from the RTX 5060 through the 5070 Ti, making it the most flexible entry point in the lineup at $1,299.
Lenovo also demonstrated a rollable display concept at CES 2026, based on the Pro 7i platform, capable of extending from 16 inches to approximately 24 inches. No production timeline has been announced.
