Legion Pro 7i vs ROG Strix G16 RTX 5080
The Lenovo 83F50053US and ASUS G615LW share the same CPU, GPU tier and 175W ceiling. The meaningful differences are the display, retail memory, storage generation, battery capacity and current offer.

Gaming Performance: No Defensible Universal Winner Yet
On paper, this is unusually close: both configurations pair the Core Ultra 9 275HX with an RTX 5080 Laptop GPU up to 175W. That does not guarantee identical frame rates. Firmware, cooling behavior, memory configuration and performance modes can still affect results.
The Legion review contains sourced exact-configuration benchmark rows. The available Strix evidence does not provide a matching same-publication, same-settings protocol for a valid subtraction. FRAMELIMIT therefore does not manufacture an FPS lead from incompatible datasets.
Display: OLED Contrast or IPS Practicality
Both displays are 16-inch, 2560×1600 and 240Hz with a published 500-nit rating. The Legion's OLED panel is the clearer choice for deep blacks and per-pixel contrast. The Strix's IPS-level panel avoids OLED-specific burn-in concerns for persistent HUDs or long static desktop sessions. These are panel-technology trade-offs, not measured brightness or color verdicts.
Memory, Storage and Serviceability
The linked Strix bundle arrives with 64GB DDR5, twice the Legion's 32GB capacity. Both are described as upgradeable, so the Strix advantage is the purchased configuration rather than a permanent platform limit. Lenovo specifies faster DDR5-6400 memory and a PCIe Gen5 1TB drive; the ASUS listing specifies a 1TB PCIe Gen4 drive. Real workload differences require matching tests.
Battery and Portability
The Legion has the larger published battery capacity at 99.9Wh versus 90Wh. Capacity alone does not prove longer runtime because panel technology, power modes, brightness and workload matter. The Strix is listed about 0.06kg lighter (2.65kg versus 2.71kg), a small difference within the same desktop-replacement class.
Price and Availability
The Legion does not currently have a retained reference price in the central catalog. The Strix has a $3,698 reference price, not a live checkout price. Because one side lacks a comparable current price, this page does not name a value winner. Open both exact ASINs, confirm the seller and model configuration, and compare the final price on the same day.
Which One Should You Buy?
Choose Legion Pro 7i if…
- You want the 240Hz OLED panel.
- You value the 99.9Wh battery specification.
- Gen5 storage and DDR5-6400 matter to your configuration.
- You want exact-SKU benchmark evidence before purchase.
Choose ROG Strix G16 if…
- You want 64GB installed in the linked retail bundle.
- You prefer IPS over OLED for static content.
- The slightly lower listed weight matters.
- Its exact current offer undercuts the Legion at checkout.
