I bought this laptop last November. I was super impressed by it, unfortunately the Wi-fi card died within a month. Soon as I was about to have Lenovo repair/replace it, I was gifted a Steam Deck as an early Christmas gift from my Fiancé. When I wasn't at my desk the Steam Deck was more convenient to travel with or game around the house. So I returned the Legion 9i. I mostly play single player RPG's and 90% of them are Steam Deck verified. I don't regret the decision.

Lenovo Legions' are so well built. I had my i9 4070 over a year now and still plays anything you can throw at it (assuming the devs PC port is actually decent). Yesterday I played Mafia Definitive edition and accidently put the integrated graphics card on. Was playing in ultra @ 2k at 60 fps and didn't even notice for a while. Switched the dGPU on and of course was 100+ fps. Point being, every aspect of this hardware is capable and well built. Would not hesitate to buy another one.

Beyond annoying that Lenovo doesn't manufacture an 18" legion like the rest of the competition. I can't go back to a 16" after using an 18" size, everything is 14" & 16" options, so annoying for those who enjoy the larger screen real estate.

Incredible quality as always. Great review. I am currently running a ROG Strix R9 5950HX with an Nvidia 3060. It's amazing how far I can still push this config, but seeing those Cyberpunk numbers blows my mind. I am currently in the market for a £3000-3500 laptop, as I would like to go bonkers this time and make it last as long as possible. This one is definitely in the running. Thank you again for the time taken here - truly great information.

According official spec Legion 9i Gen 8 allows memory overclock up to 6400 MHz (with 32gb) while Gen 9 does not. 1) Is this overclock possible to launch using standard Lenovo tools (without going BIOS) ? 2) What what would be benchmark/temperature difference at that point (Gen 8 RAM overclocked vs Gen 9) ?

Just ordered one of these 2 days ago. Hopefully it's as good as your review :D. To answer your question at the end of the video, this laptop just made sense (for me personally). I'll be travelling overseas for 2 months soon, so tax claim back at the airport, Easter sale dropped the price from $7900+ to $6037, followed by live chat rep dropping to $5898 with the GB700 bag. On top of all that, 13.2% cashback from Shopback. So the total cost after all these reductions was only about $4700~ AUD ($3060 USD). Quite a good time to grab it.

Would there be any concern with using this as a desktop replacement and then taking it on the go? What I mean is would the constant plugging and unplugging of monitor cables to the laptop when on the go or moving to another spot in my house be an issue? I know it's liquid cooled somewhat but would the 4090 not last very long in a laptop if you used it A LOT. These are all the things I'm worried about given how expensive it is. And I don't see a damage plan on Lenovo website, just if you get a available model at best buy

This is a bit of a disappointing review, in that it doesn't cover a bunch of topics people might wonder about.

Also, I'm interested in a gaming laptop because I might do some gaming on the go, and so benchmarks at lower power settings would be highly relevant before deciding to purchase.
