Lenovo announces its flagship laptop Lenovo Legion™ 9i (16″, 8), the first 16-inch gaming laptop in the Lenovo Legion ecosystem – and in the world – with a self-contained liquid cooling system, designed for gamers and designers with heavy graphics workflow requirements who require a full development studio in their bag. The Lenovo Legion 9i completes the Lenovo Legion lineup that also includes the Lenovo Legion Pro series for competitive gamers and the Lenovo Legion Slim series for gamers who value mobility, as well as Lenovo Legion displays and peripherals. Also announced today are the Lenovo Legion 16″ Gaming Backpack GB700 and GB400, two backpack options that give gamers the choice between slim and lightweight dexterity or extra storage without sacrificing protection for their Lenovo Legion 9i (16″, 8) or other laptops and accessories.
“The introduction of the Lenovo Legion 9i (16″, 8) marks the latest culmination of Lenovo Legion’s gaming laptop innovation. The Lenovo Legion 9i is the first laptop in the Lenovo Legion ecosystem with an integrated liquid cooling system and hardware AI chip tuning. The forged carbon A-cover, in addition to the unique-to-each-laptop aesthetics, means a lighter laptop for gamers and makers who demand nothing but the best,” said Jun Ouyang, Lenovo’s vice president and general manager of Consumer Business Segment, Intelligent Devices Group. “We continually challenge ourselves to push the boundaries when designing gaming solutions. The Lenovo Legion 9i (16″, 8) has set a new benchmark for us that we would like to meet and exceed in the future.”
The Lenovo Legion 9i (16″, 8) redefines powerful luxury in the gaming laptop range, as evidenced by its striking processing hardware: 13th generation Intel® Core™ i9-13980HX processor, NVIDIA® GeForce RTX™ 4090 laptop GPU and either 64GB Overclocked 5600Mhz Dual Channel DDR5 RAM or a lightning fast 32GB Overclocked 6400Mhz DDR5 Dual Channel RAM. But it’s how the power of these processors is unleashed that makes the Lenovo Legion 9i (16″, 8) truly powerful.
The Legion Coldfront integrated liquid cooling system – the first of its kind on a 16″ gaming laptop – allows the Lenovo Legion 9i (16″, 8) to put out up to 230W TDP while weighing just 2.56kg (5.64lbs). ). Designed in collaboration with Cooler Master, the system runs over the GPU’s VRAM to manage heat during extreme gaming sessions, switching on when the GPU reaches 84°C to cool the GPU back down. Combined with the AI-tuned air cooling system with three fans and 6,333 individual intake vents, the Lenovo Legion 9i (16″, 8) stays cool even under the most grueling gaming and content creation sessions. To accommodate the additional weight of the modified liquid cooling system, Lenovo engineers had to design an innovative new A-cover made from forged carbon chips. Not only does this save weight, but the forging process means that every Lenovo Legion 9i has its own unique forged carbon chip pattern on the A-cover.
All the extra power of the Lenovo Legion 9i comes to life on a Lenovo PureSight 3.2K Mini-LED 16:10 display with 165Hz variable refresh rate. Designers can switch between DCI-P3 and sRBG color spaces in the pre-installed X-Rite software thanks to the factory color calibration per unit of the screen. The 94% screen-to-body Mini-LED display means breathtakingly large, sharp images for gamers and content creators alike, and with up to 2TB PCIe (Gen 4) SSD storage there’s plenty of room to get immersed in a host of beautiful games .
Immersion is a key factor in the Lenovo Legion 9i (16″, 8) approach with its powerful luxury. The Lenovo LA-2 AI chip’s Smart FPS feature works directly with the display to track frames per second and automatically adjust the power of the GPU and CPU, so you’re always assured of maximum FPS, no matter the game scenario. The Lenovo LA-2 AI chip also syncs the Legion Spectrum RGB which is present in strips around the keyboard and bottom covers, on the top cover Legion wordmark, and in the per-key RGB Lenovo TrueStrike keyboard with on-screen images – truly immerse the gamer in the on-screen experience. Additionally, Tobii Horizon software provides acceleration-free head tracking, allowing players to become even more immersed in their favorite games.
When it’s time to move, the Lenovo Legion 9i (16″, 8) is ready with a 99.99Whr battery that can be charged via either the included 330W Slim Adapter or the 140W Type-C® power adapter, both of which come in the box sitting. Wi-Fi 7 and Bluetooth 5.3 connectivity are provided by MediaTek’s Filogic 380 Wi-Fi card with a wireless speed of up to 6.5 Gbps.
Like other Lenovo Legion laptops, the Lenovo Legion 9i comes with Windows 11 and a 3-month subscription to Xbox Game Pass Ultimate, so gamers can enjoy hundreds of high-quality games right away. SteelSeries’ Nahimic delivers an extra edge in games with immersive 3D audio that allows gamers to hear teammates more clearly, while boosting the spatial awareness so important for hitting the leaderboards. Streaming players will appreciate the easy-to-adjust balance and EQ controls, keeping the focus where it should be: winning.
The Lenovo Vantage software application provides an additional all-in-one suite of tools including real-time performance dashboards, overclocking control, and intelligent fan control with a new custom fan mode that allows gamers to exploit every competitive edge. Also bundled with every Lenovo Legion device is Legion Arena, which consolidates proprietary games from multiple platforms so gamers can search their entire library from one place to quickly find the game they want to play. Optional Lenovo Premium Care support is also available for people who want access to advanced technical support with in-home support and preventative PC health check.
