Hands on: Lenovo slaps a self-contained liquid-cooling system on the Legion 9i laptop, and I'm a big fan

The Lenovo Legion 9i is powerful, light, and equipped with impressive ventilation

Great display ; Excellent ventilation system ; Unique aesthetic ; Nice keyboard

Mediocre sound quality ; Quite pricey ; No official word on availability

The Lenovo Legion 9i is looking to be the premium pick of gaming laptops for the company. Outfitted with the latest in specs, it should be a performance powerhouse, complemented by an excellent ventilation system and great display.

Lenovo Legion 9i Gen 8 Review: The King of 16-inch Gaming Laptops

The Legion 9i Gen 8 is a supremely capable 16-inch gaming laptop, but be prepared to spend for it.

Superb performance ; Gorgeous Mini-LED screen ; High-end build quality ; Comfortable keyboard ; Solid speakers

Expensive, especially with RTX 4090 ; Noticeable fan noise ; Small touchpad

The Legion 9i Gen 8 delivers bleeding edge performance and almost endless luxuries, including a mini-LED screen and a liquid-cooling system. It’s pricey, but it’s one of the best gaming laptops we’ve tested.

Lenovo Legion 9i Gen 9 (16-inch) review | Digital Trends

From its overclockable Intel Core i9 HX processor and Nvidia RTX 4090 GPU, the Lenovo Legion 9i Gen 9 (16-inch) is a serious powerhouse.

Excellent overall and graphics performance ; Bright, vivid display ; Eye-catching design ; Comfortable, customizable keyboard ; Great webcam ; Healthy offering of ports

Prohibitively expensive ; Weak speakers

“If you’re on a quest for power, the Lenovo Legion 9i Gen 9 (16-inch) lies at the end of the journey.”

Lenovo’s Legion 9i is a 10. Here’s why it beats every other gaming laptop

The Lenovo Legion 9i manages to nail almost every aspect of being a desktop replacement, all without sacrificing being a solid laptop.

Desktop replacement levels of performance Support for both USB-C and GaN charging Gorgeous mini-LED display Surprisingly portable Excellent keyboard

Poor battery life Trackpad is too small

“There's no gaming laptop that can touch the Lenovo Legion 9i.”

The Lenovo Legion 9i is everything a high-end gaming laptop should be, pairing high-end hardware with liquid cooling and a bright and beautiful display for HDR gaming. But it has a price tag to match.

Lenovo Legion 9i review (Intel i9, RTX 4080 model)

This is my detailed review of the Lenovo Legion 9i series, the highest-tier Legion laptop available as of the end of 2023.

premium aesthetics and build quality ; beautiful mini LED display ; excellent IO ; solid performance and versatile power profiles ; runs cool under load, but noisy on the higher-power profiles ; 99Wh battery with dual chargers included

short touchpad and somewhat compromised typing experience ; rather large and heavy for a supposedly portable series ; audio quality could be better ; limited runtime on battery power ; expensive, especially outside the US
