Lenovo Legion 7i Gen 10 16" Laptop vs Lenovo Legion 5i 15.3" Gaming Laptop
Both are 16-inch-class Lenovo Legion gaming laptops with an RTX 5060 and a 2560 x 1600 OLED panel, so the real split is size, build and memory headroom. The Legion 7i Gen 10 is the premium pick: a slimmer 4.5 lb white chassis, 32 GB of RAM out of the box and a per-key RGB keyboard. The Legion 5i is the sturdier, more upgradeable workhorse with an aluminum lid and RAM that can grow past 32 GB. Buyers who want a lighter, fully loaded machine lean 7i; buyers who plan to upgrade memory or want a tougher lid lean 5i.
- Choose the Legion 7i Gen 10 if you want a lighter white chassis, 32 GB of memory already installed and per-key RGB lighting without opening the machine.
- Choose the Legion 5i if you want an aluminum lid, a memory ceiling above 32 GB and a slightly smaller 15.3-inch footprint.
