Lenovo Legion Pro 7i Gen 10 vs Lenovo ThinkPad P1 Gen 9

The Legion Pro 7i Gen 10 is the gaming machine: RTX 5080 with 16GB GDDR7, a 240Hz OLED panel and a 24-core Core Ultra 9 make it far quicker for games and GPU-heavy work. The ThinkPad P1 Gen 9 is the portable workstation: it weighs about 3.7 lb against 5.67 lb, runs a 15.6-inch screen and pairs a Core Ultra 7 with an RTX 2000 Ada, an ISV-certified card built for CAD and content apps rather than frame rates. Buyers who want frames and a vivid display pick the Legion; buyers who carry a laptop daily and need a quiet, certified pro card pick the P1.

• Choose the Legion Pro 7i Gen 10 if you game, stream or render on a big 240Hz OLED screen and want the strongest GPU and CPU in this pair.
• Choose the ThinkPad P1 Gen 9 if you travel with your laptop and need a light, ISV-certified workstation with long battery life and ThinkPad durability.
