What the specifications show
The reviewed Legion Pro 7i Gen 10 configuration uses a Core Ultra 9 275HX and an RTX 5080 Laptop GPU with 16GB of GDDR7 at up to 175W, with a 99.9Wh battery and a 400W adapter. The OMEN MAX 16 configuration uses a Core Ultra 9 290HX Plus and an RTX 5090 Laptop GPU with 24GB of GDDR7 at up to 175W, with an 83Wh battery and a 460W adapter.
Both pair a 16-inch 2560 × 1600 OLED panel with up to 240Hz refresh. The memory and storage rows are not directly comparable: the Legion row describes the Notebookcheck test unit and notes that retail SKUs vary, while the OMEN row lists the HP configuration.
What independent reviews add
Notebookcheck found strong performance from the Legion’s Core Ultra 9 and 175W RTX 5080 combination and a standout 240Hz OLED, balanced against high power draw, very high CPU temperatures under gaming load, fan noise in Performance mode and a heavy adapter. Tom’s Hardware’s August 2026 review of the OMEN MAX 16 noted a solid chassis, user-upgradeable memory and a PCIe Gen 5 SSD, but judged the price-to-performance poor against similarly priced gaming laptops.
These are separate reviews of specific configurations. Do not transfer either verdict to other variants of the same product family.
How to decide
Confirm the exact machine configuration before comparing prices or reviews, since CPU, GPU power limits, memory, storage and region can all differ. Weigh the premium for the RTX 5090 configuration against the value criticism, and check weight, adapter size and noise against how and where you will use the laptop.
