It seems the wait for the mighty Lenovo Legion 9i is nearly over, with the laptop targeted for an October 2023 unveiling, possibly at IFA 2023 Berlin.
We are positively buzzed to piece together all the technical specifications, availability, price, and of course, the latest product imagery of the 16-inch laptop. But first, let’s dive into its groundbreaking cooling system.
Lenovo Legion 9i: Liquid Cooling
What sets the Legion Coldfront, Legion 9i’s self-contained liquid-cooling system, apart from other competitors like the CyberPowerPC Tracer VII Edge is its integrated cooling pump which requires no external attachment. The device could be available for €4,499, as reported by MSPowerUser.
It is purportedly the first such assembly in a 16-inch laptop, with a staggering 230-watt thermal design power (TDP). Backed by a triple-fan air cooling system furnished with 6,333 individual intake vents, the laptop ensures the perfect conditioning for a high-stakes gaming session.
With the complete cooling system housed in a 2.56kg laptop, Lenovo needed to design a dedicated A-cover case out of forged carbon chips, a testament to their expert engineering prowess.
Sight and Sound: Display and Audio Features
You’re in for a visually stunning treat with Lenovo’s PureSight 3.2K Mini-LED 16:10 display, boasting a 165 Hz Variable refresh rate. The alternating between DCI-P3 and sRGB is made easy with the pre-installed X-Rite software. The LA-2 AI chip powers SmartFPS, dynamically adjusting the GPU and CPU in response to real-time frame rate monitoring.
Enhancements are not just restricted to sight but sound too. With the Tobii Horizon software’s gearless head tracking, the immersive nature of gaming is significantly heightened.
