![]() That’s why we’re including the 17.3-inch MSI Titan GT77 HX and the 18-inch Asus ROG Strix Scar 18 in our performance comparisons for the Legion 9i, both featuring a Core HX-class CPU and a GeForce RTX 4090. Usually, the GPU's hefty cooling requirements have meant it ends up in 17 or 18-inch designs. This Legion is the first time we’re seeing an RTX 4090 in a laptop with a screen size smaller than 17 inches. That said, this game exposes that even with the GeForce RTX 4090, maximum visual-quality settings won’t be achievable in all games at the laptop’s native screen resolution. ![]() The action was fluid and the frame rates were consistent in firefights and anywhere I went in Night City. I reached between 70-85 frames per second playing Cyberpunk 2077 at the Legion’s 3200 x 2000 resolution with the Ray Tracing Low preset the fps increased to between 105 and 120 with DLSS enabled. This is about as high-end as it gets in late 2023 this laptop is exceptionally powerful by even desktop standards. The Legion 9i Gen 8 reviewed here has an Intel Core i9-13980HX processor, an Nvidia GeForce RTX 4090 graphics card, and 32GB of DDR5-5600 RAM (2x 16GB). Gaming and Graphics on the Lenovo Legion 9i Gen 8 Intel Core i9-13980HX (8 Performance and 16 Efficient cores, 2.2 GHz base clock, 5.6 GHz turbo) The Legion’s abundant connectivity begins on the left edge with a 3.5 mm combo audio jack and an SD card slot. The Asus ROG Strix Scar 18 (15.71 x 11.57 x 1.21 inches, 6.83 pounds) and the MSI GT77 Titan HX (15.63 x 12.99 x 0.91 inches, 7.28 pounds) match the Legion’s specs but are comparatively massive. HP’s Omen 16 is thicker and nearly as heavy (14.53 x 10.21 x 0.93 inches, 5.4 pounds) but it tops out with a Core H-class CPU and a GeForce RTX 4080. (Naturally, it can be completely disabled.)Īt 14.08 x 10.93 x 0.75~0.89 inches and 5.51 pounds, the Legion 9i is impressively trim considering it packs an Intel Core HX-class CPU and a GeForce RTX 4090 we haven’t tested a laptop with the latter that had a screen size smaller than 17 inches. Overall, I’m a fan of this laptop’s looks, especially the lid it’s aggressive without being polarizing, though the LED lighting can be overwhelming. Effect brightness and direction are also changeable. The Lenovo Vantage app allows you to set the zones to any color and assign effects, such as color wave and breathing. Add in the Legion logo on the lid, and you’re looking at 19 lighting zones. ![]() The light bars on the front and rear edges each have six zones while the sides have three each. Exterior LED light bars spanning every edge greatly augment this laptop’s look.
