Lenovo has released a new budget gaming laptop in China. The Legion R7000 comes with a 15.3-inch 1440p 165 Hz screen, 16 GB RAM and 512 GB storage.
Lenovo has launched a new affordable laptop in China. The Lenovo Legion R7000 has been refreshed for a second time, with its last revision featuring an AMD Ryzen 8000 series CPU and an RTX 40 series GPU. The 2025 version gets Nvidia’s new Blackwell graphics cards and an AMD CPU that looks new, but it isn’t.
The Lenovo Legion R7000 (2025) comes with a 15.3-inch screen with a resolution of 2,560 x 1,660 pixels, 165 Hz refresh rate, 400 nits peak brightness, 3 ms grey-to-grey response time and 99% coverage of the sRGB colour gamut. Lenovo hasn’t mentioned battery capacity, but the company says the laptop can charge at 140 Watts via USB-C.
A 245-watt charger is also included in the box. Under the hood, the Legion R7000 (2025) features an AMD Ryzen 7 H 255 CPU with eight Zen 4 CPU cores and a boost clock of 4.9 GHz. It is essentially a rebadged Ryzen 7 8845H, another China-only CPU. One can pair it with a GeForce RTX 5060 and RTX 5050 GPU from Nvidia. They have a combined power budget of 170 Watts.
Storage and memory appear to be fixed at 512 GB and 16 GB, with no indication if either can be upgraded. For I/O, there are two 10 Gbps USB Type-C ports, three 5 Gbps USB Type-A ports, an HDMI 2.1 port, RJ45 Ethernet and a 3.5 mm combo audio jack.
The Lenovo Legion R7000 with an RTX 5060 costs RMB 7,999 ($1,109) in China, and the RTX 5050 variant costs RMB 7,499 ($1,039). It is slightly more expensive than its last-gen counterpart (RNB 6,699/$928). There’s no word about its global availability, and if the previous SKUs are anything to go by, it is unlikely to launch outside the country.
