Lenovo has revealed the specifications and the design of the Legion 9i, a high-end gaming laptop that combines Intel Raptor Lake-HX processors with RTX 40 GPUs. Specifically, Lenovo will offer the Legion 9i with the Core i9-13980HX, a 55 W TDP processor with 8 Raptor Cove performance cores, 16 Gracemont efficiency cores and 32 threads. For reference, the 8 performance cores can boost to 5.6 GHz, 100 MHz higher than the Core i9-13950HX.
The Legion 9i combines Intel’s most powerful Raptor Lake-HX processor with the GeForce RTX 4090 16 GB, the top of NVIDIA’s mobile product stack. Unsurprisingly, Lenovo mates these power-hungry components with a massive battery, a 4-cell pack that it rates at 99.9 Wh. Moreover, the gaming laptop features up to 64 GB of DDR5-5600 SODIMM RAM, two M.2 2280 slots and a 16.3-inch display that outputs at 2K with a 165 Hz refresh rate.
Somehow, Lenovo has packed all these components within an 18.9 mm thick housing. Furthermore, the company has integrated what it claims is the industry’s thinnest water-cooling solution to prevent thermal throttling. Lenovo adds that its solution kicks in at 84 °C, reducing wear and tear on the built-in water pump. Pricing and a global release remain unknown at this stage, although VideoCardz notes that Lenovo has already informed reviewers of a launch date.
