My Legion 9i gen 9 just arrived yesterday. This machine is a beast. The 3.2k mini LED is the show of the year. Absolute wonderful display. This one is fully maxed out. i9 14900hx, 64gb ram, RTX4090 @ 175W.

This machine is a beauty, and i don't regret putting my money on it.

Excellent review!
I've had mine for about a month (240Hz, i9, RTX 4070 model) and I absolutely love it. You're comments were spot on!

[WurldReel]

Had mine slightly raised up from the back, doing so helps greatly with cooling!

Thanks for the review. Based on your overview and the comments so far, it appears to be a so-so offering, but for the price point it appears to be a decent deal. Great work as always.

Got my legion 9i gen 9 on sale for $2, 600 after taxes. Big thanks too you for all the reviews been watching your channel for a while now. Keep up the good work 👍

This laptop looks sick. I bought the 7i slim last year and still love it. I can imagine how good this new one is.

[JonathanS]

that is indeed this year's best looking laptop!

imo the 165hz display is the only way to go. I don't see a way to add it and choose white on the Lenovo website. They only have two models to choose from. BB has the white model in the US but it's the 240hz panel and $250 more. I honestly don't know why they even offer 2 panels when the 165hz one is clearly superior with its color gamut. The screen is everything at this point...if you're not gonna offer OLED in 2024 then you have to put forth your best IPS. That's what I like about Asus is they always just put the best screen available in their laptops and call it a day.

Nice laptop. Nice that rams are not soldered and are positionned in the back. Btw the Bealtek 300w charger seems to be a bust. Our hopes for smaller high quality laptop charger seem to vanish in the air.

Thanks for the video. I just upgraded the memory in my new 2024 Legion 7i. I also went from 32GB to 64GB (I used for my case Crucial RAM 64GB Kit (2x32GB) DDR5 5600MHz ). I must mention that when you start the laptop, screen will be blank for few minutes while it recognizes the new memory. Just wait and it should work.

To anyone wondereing a normal users experience with this laptop, I used it for 30 days, everything was fine, gaming was good, ran softwares like Houdini very well, I used it always on charge but I had conservation mode and things Lenovo Vantage provides to keep the battery healthy whilst on charge, anyway, after a couple of weeks I noticed when I am trying to boot up any game, on steam, battlenet, Unreal etc I would get a black screen, I called technical support and they couldnt help, so I requested a return, then I found out that somehow games load up when it isnt plugged in to charge and only black screen when it is on charge, this also happened before and after I updated everything, drivers, windows, lenovo, nvidia, still nothing changed, it was extremely frustrating and its making me consider ordering a new one or looking elsewhere for a 16 inch laptop, this was just my experience but if it helps anyone in how they spend their hard earned £2000 then I've done my job.

[davidjosephrabe]

How many hours should we charged the laptop (lenovo legion 7i gen 9)?

[yanacip]

Just my suggestion.
Maybe make a tier list video about your reviewed laptop at the end year.
Thanks for this video, appreciate it.

Looks solid. I hope they do a 5090 and they can have my money next year .. unless Alienware step up and get their act together.. currently have the legion 7i 4090 and it’s been great for last year

[ivanteo]

7:36 noticed the frame rates jump quite a bit, and the display kinda moves out of sync a bit, anyone noticed that? Can that be tuned? Am hoping to get some idea as im hoping to pick this laptop up, any feedback and help much appreciated!! Big thanks Mash IT for the awesome review, and amazingly helpful and detailed!!

[TeaKaay]

I just bought this laptop and it's arriving tomorrow for $1, 600 including tax, primarily for design work.

[princeandrew]

I'm struggling to decide. Should i go with the 165Hz or 240 Hz Legion 7i. Also is there much difference between the 4060 and 4070?

[birkandumanli]

Hey Great Review! Does the i9 14900HX throttle on this? Wondered would you recommend the i7 14700HX version instead or the i9?

[vladimirstepanek]

I want to know what do you whink about rtx 4060 in this model, I could get one for 1390€ and I am really considering it.

[lingzhijiang]

hey man is it possible for you to test overwatch2 at 1080p with lowest settings, want to see if 14900hx and rtx4070 can handle a sustain 400fps cause im mostly playing overwatch, thank you!
