A familiar Legion with a materially different memory and storage setup

This Lenovo Legion Pro 7i Gen 10 configuration pairs the Intel Ultra 9 275HX and GeForce RTX 5080 with 64GB of memory and two 1TB SSDs. Its buying argument is not a different gaming engine from the previously covered 32GB/1TB version. Instead, it offers more installed memory and storage, with a drive arrangement that deserves attention before purchase.

This review is based on the supplied retailer specifications, not detailed research. The same canonical Legion Pro 7i Gen 10 family identity applies to both configurations. Separate consideration is justified here by the documented move from two 16GB memory modules to two 32GB modules, and from one listed 1TB Gen5 SSD to two 1TB Gen4 SSDs. Those differences change capacity planning and the questions to ask about future upgrades.

The exact configuration at a glance

Buy the extra memory for a workload, not a frame-rate promise

The processor and graphics specifications match the previously reviewed 32GB configuration: an Ultra 9 275HX alongside an RTX 5080 with 16GB of graphics memory and a listed 175W TGP. Consequently, the evidence does not establish a higher gaming performance tier simply because this version carries twice the system memory.

The stronger reason to choose 64GB is a known need for additional memory capacity while gaming, creating content or running several demanding applications. That is workload guidance rather than a measured benefit: neither application benchmarks nor memory-use tests are supplied. Buyers whose software fits comfortably within 32GB should not assume the larger allocation alone will improve their experience.

Likewise, the GPU power figure is a specification, not proof of sustained operation at that level. Cooling behavior, fan noise and performance during combined processor and graphics loads remain untested here. The component names support configuration comparisons, but not promises about particular games or settings.

Two SSDs change the upgrade conversation

The storage description is unusually important. This is 2TB spread across two 1TB M.2 2280 PCIe Gen4 TLC drives, not a single 2TB SSD. Compared with the previously covered version’s listed 1TB PCIe Gen5 drive, it prioritizes more total installed capacity while specifying an earlier PCIe generation. That does not establish which configuration loads any given game faster.

Two drives could be useful for separating game installations from other files, depending on how the system is configured. However, the listing does not explain volume layout, RAID use or which drive contains Windows. Do not assume the machine arrives with one unified 2TB volume.

Both listed memory modules are already 32GB CSODIMMs. The evidence does not establish maximum supported memory, additional memory sockets, total storage slots or spare SSD capacity. Accordingly, this review cannot promise an easy add-in upgrade. Before ordering, request the exact machine identifier and service documentation to confirm whether later expansion requires replacing installed parts, and which memory and SSD specifications are supported.

A detailed OLED specification, with a glossy-screen caveat

The 16-inch OLED screen combines a 2560 × 1600 resolution with a 240Hz refresh rate. Its 16:10 proportions offer more vertical space relative to width than a 16:9 display, making the panel relevant to document work as well as gaming. G-SYNC support is also listed, although the refresh-rate ceiling is not a guarantee that demanding games will reach it.

The seller specifies 500-nit brightness, full DCI-P3 coverage, Dolby Vision and DisplayHDR True Black 1000. These are useful advertised capabilities, not independently verified brightness, calibration or HDR results. A wide-gamut claim alone does not establish color accuracy for professional work.

The glossy finish is a practical consideration for rooms with bright windows or overhead lighting, where reflections may be distracting. Buyers chiefly seeking a physically larger screen can consult our 17-inch gaming laptop guide; this configuration remains a 16-inch option regardless of its resolution.

Portability and connectivity need further confirmation

The listed dimensions provide a starting point for checking bag fit, but the approximately 10.85-pound weight is not identified as laptop-only or inclusive of other contents. It should not be treated as a verified chassis weight. The supplied 400W adapter is another item to account for when planning transport, though its dimensions and weight are absent.

Battery capacity, runtime, charging flexibility and the port layout are also missing. That prevents a confident recommendation for frequent unplugged use or a particular docking arrangement. The documented 5MP camera with an electronic shutter and per-key RGB keyboard are useful conveniences, but they do not resolve those mobility questions.

Verdict

Choose this Legion Pro 7i Gen 10 configuration for a demonstrated need for 64GB of memory and greater installed storage, not an assumed gaming uplift over the 32GB version. Its OLED specification is compelling on paper, while the dual-drive layout, unverified upgrade headroom and ambiguous weight deserve confirmation before committing.
