Lenovo new 16-inch laptop packs Ryzen 9 power for gamers and creators
If you’ve been looking for a laptop that can handle both gaming and heavy creative work, Lenovo just dropped something at IFA that’s worth checking out. The Legion Pro 7 16 Gen 10 now rocks AMD’s new Ryzen 9 9000 HX series. Yep, that’s the kind of chip that makes even the most intense games and demanding video editing software feel smooth. Equipped with the powerful Ryzen 9955HX3D processor and RTX 5080 graphics, this thing isn’t kidding around when it comes to raw performance. Lenovo’s cooling setup, called Legion Coldfront: Vapor, includes hyperchamber tech that can push up to 275W TDP. Basically, it’s built to keep things cool while you’re blasting through max settings. Cooling is serious business, y’all. Oh, and if you’re worried about storage, it can come with up to 2TB Gen 5 PCIe SSD. That’s plenty of room for your games, files, and whatever else. The Lenovo Legion Pro 7 16 Gen 10 features a 16-inch 2560×1600 OLED display with a wildly fast 240Hz refresh rate and 0.08ms response time. On paper, colors should pop and motion should look silky smooth. Throw in up to 32GB of DDR5 RAM and this force of nature can totally handle streaming and heavy-duty work. It also comes with Windows 11, so you’re all set for the latest features and security. But honestly, the real magic is how the CPU, GPU, RAM, and storage work together–this laptop should absolutely fly, just like Falkor the luck dragon from Neverending Story. The Lenovo Legion Pro 7 16 Gen 10 is expected to launch in November 2025 with a starting price of $2,399.
