The Lenovo Legion Pro 7i G10 with the RTX 5080 was one of the fastest and best gaming laptops we reviewed last year. This is still the case and the SKU powered by the GeForce RTX 5090 can easily keep up even with larger 18-inch rivals.

Lenovo just launched its new gaming laptop Legion 7a 16 G11 and even though the overall package with the lighter chassis is convincing, the price is an issue. Why should you pay more than $2000 when you get the same gaming performance and a great OLED panel with the Legion 5 15 for $1350?

Lenovo's new gaming laptop Legion 7a 16 G11 is even lighter than before and uses a modern AMD processor, but it is slower compared to the Intel HX CPU of the previous generation. The RAM cannot be replaced anymore and the GeForce RTX 5060 is also a bit slower.
