Lenovo Legion Pro 5i Gen 10 (16IAX10, 2025) review

Lenovo Legion Pro 5i Gen 10: the flagship sheet in the volume chassis

The Legion Pro 5i Gen 10 (16IAX10, 2025) at $1,440 pairs an Intel Core Ultra 7 255HX with a GeForce RTX 5060 carrying 8GB, and 32GB of memory. Its axis sheet matches the Legion 7i Gen 10's on every figure except portability — the same five top bands, the same perfect CPU score — in the Pro chassis, at the same price.

Where it holds up

Reliability posts 93 — the named strength, 75.5% over the class median. Five axes land in the top band: gaming at 89, modeling at 94, engineering CAD at 94, photo design at 90 and office at 90.31. The CPU score of 100 is the joint-best processor figure in this batch, performance reaches 79.61 (high) and value 68.7 (high). Every recommended-bar check passes — Overwatch, GTA V, Rainbow Six Siege, Premiere, Photoshop and Visual Studio Code — the complete stack, cleared twice over.

Where it falls short

Memory is the named weakness: 32GB against a 64GB gaming-class median, the familiar half-median shortfall. Portability at 24.1 (low) is a dozen points under the 7i sibling's figure — the Pro chassis carries more — and mobility at 45 trails the 7i's 55 as well. The RTX 5060 is mainstream-tier for the bracket; strong everywhere, exceptional nowhere.

Price and depreciation

At $1,440 the class rate reads 20% per year with no cohort anchor for a projection — the steepest curve in this batch, rate-only framing for 2025 gaming flagships. Identical capability to the 7i at identical price means the depreciation question is shared; only the chassis differs.

Alternatives to consider

The Legion 7i Gen 10 at the same $1,440 posts a matching sheet outside the carry axes, with better mobility (55 against 45) and portability (36.7 against 24.1) — the data-preferred twin unless the Pro chassis is the point. The Legion Pro 7i Gen 10 at the same price adds the RTX 5070 Ti, 64GB and the batch's only perfect gaming score; that is where this budget goes furthest.

Bottom line

Fairly priced for the class. The Pro 5i Gen 10 is the flagship sheet in volume clothing — five top bands, a perfect CPU score, every bar passing — with a half-median memory ceiling and a heavier chassis as the small print on an otherwise clean deal.
