Lenovo’s new gaming ecosystem debuted at CES 2024, with Microsoft Windows 11-based PCs, peripherals, software, and services that deliver on power, thermals, graphics, AI-powered advantages, and the freedom to build the ultimate system to game. The new PC portfolio includes the following new 9th generation Lenovo Legion 16-inch gaming laptops and towers:

• The Lenovo Legion 7i (16”, 9), Lenovo Legion 5i (16”, 9), and Lenovo Legion Slim 5 (16”, 9) are for gamers who need a laptop that can handle their favorite games as well as their STEM apps.

• The Lenovo Legion 9i (16”, 9) is for those who will settle for nothing less than the best in their gaming and content creation pursuits. 

• The Lenovo Legion Pro 7i (16”, 9) and Lenovo Legion Pro 5i (16”, 9) are for gamers who need the ultimate in FPS, style, and screen.

Legion Tower 7i and Legion Tower 5i are for those who need the extra horsepower of a top-tier gaming tower PC.

At the core of this new gaming lineup is the family of Lenovo’s proprietary hardware AI chips—called LA AI chips–and the advantages they bring to both Lenovo Legion and Lenovo LOQ gaming laptops. First introduced last CES, this year’s LA AI chips are mightier than ever, enabling Lenovo Legion and Lenovo LOQ laptops to achieve even higher FPS, increased power efficiency, and more. And with a selection of gaming laptops, towers, monitors, accessories and even the handheld Lenovo Legion Go announced last IFA, the new Lenovo gaming ecosystem lets gamers choose the exact setup they need to achieve gaming greatness and reach their ‘impossible’.

Pick One Device To Do It All—The Lenovo Legion Series, Lenovo Legion Slim 5, and Lenovo Legion Tower 5i

Today’s gamers lead diverse, busy lives and need a device that can handle everything they throw at it, be it the processor-intensive apps prevalent in STEM studies or the hungriest of AAA games. The Lenovo Legion series, made up of the Lenovo Legion 7i (16”, 9), Lenovo Legion 5i (16”, 9), and Lenovo Legion Slim 5 (16”, 9), offer gamers who need a powerful laptop in a portable package the ultimate do-it-all solution. 

Lenovo’s LA AI chips are both present in Lenovo Legion series laptops. The Lenovo Legion 7i’s LA AI chip supports Scenario Detection, Smart FPS increases, and Smart Control, all accessible through Lenovo Vantage software so gamers can customize their laptop even further in the pursuit of optimum performance no matter the use case. The Lenovo Legion 5i supports Smart Control for on-the-fly power profile switching.

New for this year is the Lenovo Legion “Coldfront: Hyper” thermal solution, available on the Lenovo Legion 7i and Lenovo Legion 5i. This innovative thermal solution redirects hot air from laptop chips through a hyperbaric chamber in the laptop's center. The bottom D-cover prevents the mixing of hot exhaust air with cold incoming air, optimizing heat exchange. This design aims to keep laptop hardware cooler and maintain higher framerates.  

Lenovo Legion series laptops also feature PureSight displays, which are per-unit color calibrated. The Lenovo Legion 7i (16”, 9) is available with either a 16-inch 3.2K 16:10 IPS display with 165Hz refresh, 100% DCI-P3 support, and 450 nits brightness for extra fidelity whether gaming, designing, or creating content; or a 16-inch WQXGA 16:10 display with 240Hz refresh and 100% sRGB for users who require faster display refresh rates. eSports Display software enhances gaming performance by enabling dynamic response time, reducing image blur, and offering features like selectable-position FPS display and an aim assist reticle for improved precision in first-person shooter games..

 A Gaming Laptop that Redefines Unique: The Lenovo Legion 9i (16”, 9)

The new Lenovo Legion 9i (16”, 9) features the upgraded Lenovo LA3-P AI chip, which delivers Scenario Detection that dynamically adjusts power to the CPU and GPU to increase performance based on what the user is doing at any given moment. This is coupled with Smart FPS, which tracks power usage between hardware components and FPS output while gaming. It scans on-screen FPS data, then takes this data and runs it through an algorithm that optimizes CPU and GPU power that increases FPS in games.

The Lenovo LA3-P AI chip also enables Lighting Audio Sync. There is also Legion Aurora Sync, as well as Smart Control that allows gamers to quickly switch between preset power profiles including a user-settable Custom mode. Fan speed controls, thermal mode settings, and other AI capabilities are all controlled through Lenovo Vantage. With this granular level of control over AI-assisted settings, gamers can set up the Lenovo Legion 9i (16”, 9) exactly the way they want, no matter the use case.
