Lenovo Legion 7i Gen 10 (16IAX10, 83KY000TCF) / ASUS ROG Zephyrus G16 (2025) GU605CX

This configuration also includes the Intel AI Boost NPU rated at up to 13 TOPS; the NPU is designed to run AI tasks at lower power than the graphics card.

The processor’s Intel AI Boost NPU delivers up to 13 TOPS of AI processing; some Windows AI features use this unit instead of the graphics card.

TGP is the power limit the graphics chip can use in this laptop; the same GPU runs slower in lower-powered chassis. The graphics chip is soldered and cannot be replaced. Lenovo also offers the RTX 5070 Laptop GPU in this chassis at 115 W.

120 W is the upper power limit including Dynamic Boost: the extra 20 W is shifted to the GPU when the processor load is low and is not always available. The RTX 5070 Ti version of the same chassis is limited to 115 W, and the RTX 5060 and 5070 versions to 105 W.

165 Hz means the panel can show up to 165 frames per second; G-SYNC matches the refresh to the GPU’s frame rate to reduce tearing. 1100 nits is a peak value for small areas in HDR content; everyday SDR brightness is 500 nits. The panel is factory-calibrated with X-Rite and is not a touchscreen.

240 Hz shows up to 240 frames per second in games; G-Sync matches the display refresh rate to the graphics card’s frame rate to prevent tearing. Pantone Validated means the display colours are verified against Pantone reference colours. ASUS does not give brightness or response time on this page.

Memory is not soldered. The highest capacity Lenovo has tested for this platform is 32 GB; both slots are filled from the factory, so an upgrade means replacing the modules.

Memory cannot be upgraded later; the capacity chosen at purchase is permanent.

The slots are 2280-length, so a second SSD can be added. PCIe 4.0 x4 offers a theoretical 8 GB/s of bandwidth; actual speed depends on the installed SSD.

The second M.2 slot allows an extra SSD. ASUS gives no separate PCIe generation for the free slot.

Up to 3 external displays are supported alongside the built-in panel: HDMI up to 8K 60 Hz, USB-C up to 4K 60 Hz. Both USB-C ports accept 95–100 W USB-PD charging; Lenovo’s 140 W USB-C protocol works only with its own adapter. There is no wired Ethernet.

Both USB-C ports support an external display and charging; the 10 Gbps USB-C port also carries G-SYNC to an external display. ASUS does not state the USB-C charging power.

The wireless card sits in an M.2 slot and is not soldered.

Lenovo rates battery life at 3.98 hours in MobileMark 30 and 7.18 hours in local 1080p video playback. Rapid Charge Pro charges to about 50% in 30 minutes.

This model has a bilingual French/English keyboard layout.

There is no fingerprint reader; the IR camera is used for sign-in.

The weight does not include the 245 W adapter.

Warranty length varies by country; Lenovo’s platform sheet also lists 2- and 3-year options.

Advanced Optimus switches the internal display between the processor’s integrated graphics and the RTX 5090 without a restart. The MUX switch connects the display directly to the RTX 5090, removing the integrated graphics from the path in games.

The coating is used to reduce reflections from lamps and windows in bright rooms.

ASUS’s Middle East page also lists a 100 W USB-C adapter in the box and notes that the adapter can vary by region and model.

The force-cancelling woofer layout uses opposing drivers to reduce bass vibration passing into the chassis.

The IR camera enables face sign-in with Windows Hello.

The RTX 5060 and 5070 versions are 1.64 cm and 1.85 kg; the RTX 5070 Ti, 5080 and 5090 versions are 1.74 cm and 1.95 kg.
