Lenovo Legion Pro 5i (16, Gen 9) review – Top Performer with Color-Accurate Display and Impressive Battery
The Legion Pro machines always offer something extra compared to their non-Pro siblings. We already have a review of the Lenovo Legion 5i (16″, Gen 9) which is a great gaming laptop that surprises us with its snappy performance. Now, it’s time to test the Lenovo Legion Pro 5i (16″, Gen 9) which isn’t that different compared to the standard Legion 5i but the more expensive device has some useful tricks up in its sleeve.
Here, you get only 14th Gen Intel Raptor Lake-HX Refresh CPU options which bring higher clocks and (some of them have) more cores compared to their 13th Gen counterparts. All the GPU options boast 140W max TGP limits. The most powerful combo for the series is the Core i9-14900HX + GeForce RTX 4070 (Laptop). The Legion ColdFront 5.0 thermal system looks massive with its many thick heat pipes and a pair of large fans.
Three 1600p IPS display options are available. The base one is a 165Hz unit while the other two stand out with a 240Hz refresh rate and HDR support. NVIDIA G-Sync and Advanced Optimus are standard for all devices – nice! We can hint that the port selection and the upgradability are also very good. The connectivity is up-to-date (Wi-Fi 6E + Bluetooth 5.2) and you get features such as a backlit keyboard and a Web camera with an E-shutter. Nowadays, everything in the IT industry is about AI functionality and that’s why this notebook has an LA1 chip that can dynamically tune the performance depending on the system load.
