Lenovo’s Legion 9i is getting a refresh with what are likely the beefiest specs money can buy today. The 10th-generation model brings a Core Ultra 9 295HX CPU and up to 192GB of DDR5 memory. Add to that, you get an option to choose a 3D display model with eye-tracking and a lenticular lens support. Here’s everything you need to know about it. 

Lenovo Legion 9i Specifications

The Legion 9i comes with an 18-inch screen that supports both 2D and 3D content. In 2D mode, the panel reaches up to 4K resolution (3840 x 2400) and supports refresh rates as high as 240Hz. There’s also a 1920 x 1080 2D mode that boosts the refresh rate up to 440Hz. 

Switch over to 3D, and the resolution drops to 1920 x 1200, but with the benefit of naked-eye 3D thanks to integrated eye-tracking and a lens array system. No glasses are required.

Lenovo says it supports up to 30 3D games through its in-house software, and the visual hardware is being pitched directly to digital artists, visual designers, and gamers working in stereoscopic environments.

Internally, the Legion 9i maxes out with an Intel Core Ultra 9 275HX CPU and NVIDIA’s latest RTX 5090 GPU. The laptop supports up to 192GB of RAM and as much as 8TB of SSD storage, which is split across four memory slots and four SSD bays. The base model ships with a standard 4K non-3D screen, but Lenovo is clearly pushing flexibility with its upgradable design.

You get plenty of connectivity options. There are two Thunderbolt 5 ports, four USB 3.2 Gen 2 ports (three Type-A, one Type-C), HDMI 2.1, full-size SD card reader, Ethernet, Wi-Fi 7, and Bluetooth 5.4. The 2D model includes a 5MP f/2 webcam, while the 3D version uses a faster f/1.6 lens. Both cameras come with a privacy switch.

Physically, the Legion 9i features a carbon fiber lid made from eight individual layers, which Lenovo claims makes it lighter and stronger than aluminum. The pattern of the carbon fiber varies slightly from unit to unit, which the company says gives each laptop a unique finish.

It’s gonna be expensive

With such beefier specs, It’s not surprising that it’s expensive hardware to get hands-on. Lenovo hasn’t announced the pricing yet. But considering the Gen 9 model costs over $4,500, we wouldn’t be surprised if the 3D screen version costs over $5,000.

Earlier today, Lenovo launched the Legion Go handheld gaming console to compete against rivals like the Steam Deck and the ASUS ROG Ally. In addition to the handheld, the brand has also debuted a new flagship-grade gaming laptop called the Lenovo Legion 9i.

Lenovo Legion 9i specs

The Lenovo Legion 9i packs powerful hardware, however, its most impressive aspects are the display and the cooling system onboard. The machine comes with up to a 16-inch 3.2k resolution panel with Mini LED technology. It boasts a 16:10 aspect ratio, a high refresh rate of 165Hz, a 3ms response time, and outstanding color accuracy with 100% Adobe and DCI-P3 coverage. It can achieve an astounding 1200 nits of brightness and holds VESA DisplayHDR 1000 certification, along with Dolby Vision support. NVIDIA G-SYNC validation ensures tear-free gaming, and TUV Rheinland certification adds to its display quality.

Under the hood, it’s powered by a 13th-generation Intel Core i9-13980HX processor. Graphics are handled by an NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4090 Laptop GPU with 16GB GDDR6 memory, boasting a 150W+25W Boost and a 2370MHz Boost Clock. Additionally, it features an onboard AI Chip LA2 for enhanced performance. Memory options include 64GB of 5600Mhz Dual Channel DDR5 Overclocked Memory or 32GB of 6400Mhz Dual Channel DDR5 Overclocked Memory. Storage options go up to 2TB with a PCIe 4.0 NVMe SSD.

No matter how powerful a laptop is, it ultimately faces the wall of thermal throttling leading to reduced performance. To combat that, Lenovo has equipped the Legion 9i with an innovative integrated liquid-cooling system called the Legion Coldfront.

This system, developed in collaboration with Cooler Master, allows the laptop to deliver a powerful 230W TDP while maintaining a lightweight design of just 2.56kg (5.64 lbs). The liquid-cooling system focuses on cooling the GPU VRAM, kicking in when the GPU reaches 84°C to keep it cool during intense gaming sessions.

In addition to the liquid-cooling system, the laptop is equipped with an AI-tuned, triple-fan air-cooling system that incorporates an impressive 6,333 individual intake vents. This combination ensures that the Lenovo Legion 9i (16″) remains cool even during demanding gaming and content creation tasks. To offset the weight of the liquid-cooling system, Lenovo engineers designed a unique A-cover made from forged carbon chips.

This laptop is equipped with a large 99.99WHr battery that supports Super Rapid Charge, going from 0 to 70% capacity in just 30 minutes and reaching a full charge in 80 minutes. It comes with a 330W Slim Adapter or a 140W USB Type-C Power Delivery Adapter. The keyboard offers a comfortable 1.5mm key travel, Legion Spectrum Per-Key RGB lighting, 100% anti-ghosting, and swappable ceramic key caps for customization. The laptop features a 1080p camera with an E-Shutter for privacy.

In terms of connectivity, it includes a variety of ports, including Thunderbolt 4, HDMI 2.1, and RJ45 for versatile connectivity options. Audio is handled by 2 x 2W speakers with Nahimic Audio technology. It offers reliable wireless connectivity with 2 x 2 Intel Wi-Fi 7 (802.11 ax) and Bluetooth 5.1.

Pricing & availability

The Lenovo Legion 9i, featuring an Intel i9-13980HX processor, is anticipated to hit the market in October 2023 with a starting price of €4,499, including VAT.
