Specifications of Legion 7i and 5i gaming laptops

The 9th generation Legion 7i and 5i laptops can be configured with an Intel Core i9-14900HX Raptor Lake Refresh processor. Users can pair the processor with an RTX 4070 laptop board and turn the Legion 7i and 5i Gen 9 into gaming and content production powerhouses.

This device uses the brand new “Coldfront: Hyper” thermal design to keep the internals cool. According to Lenovo, the Coldfront: Hyper design prevents the hot air coming out from mixing with the cold air coming in. The result is that the Lenovo Legion 7i and 5i Gen 9 can push a maximum TDP of 170 and 190W, respectively.

Both the Legion 7i and 5i 9th gen devices feature 16-inch IPS panels with 1600p resolution with 100% sRGB coverage, 500 nits peak brightness, 3ms response time, 240Hz refresh rate, and NVIDIA G-SYNC.
