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’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

Lenovo Legion 9i (Gen 8) review: The most impressive gaming laptop to date with RTX 4090, 165Hz, and mini LED display

An absolutely fantastic gaming laptop.

Excellent performance ; Convenient number pad ; Great selection of ports ; Mini LED display with 165Hz ; Customizable RGB lighting

Short battery life ; Rather expensive

There's no denying that the Legion 9i is a powerful gaming laptop that can handle demanding graphics in ultra mode with no problem. The 3.2K mini LED display combined with a 165Hz refresh rate, helpful performance modes, RTX-40 graphics card, and...

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

Lenovo Legion 9i review

The Lenovo Legion 9i packs powerful components and an innovative liquid cooling system into its svelte chassis. Here are our initial impressions.

But if money is no issue (congrats!) and you’re set on having a true desktop replacement that can handle any modern game thrown at it, the Lenovo Legion 9i is brilliant.
