I bought one a few days ago and i love it, the recent updates to a lot of it's drivers have fixed any performance issues it was having about a year ago. This laptop is absolutely amazing and i love it! ❤🎉
Ordered one recently (on sale, but still cost the equivalent of $4500 (with $800 off - my country sucks). As long as the panel is free of any serious defects, I'll be keeping it. Currently own a Legion 7i 4080. I liked it so much, I wanted more. Performance wise it's not even close to my desktop, which has an actual 4090, but I love having a portable device that can at least pretend to be capable of high end gaming.

Wonderful review Tyler. your review reassured me that i made the best decision purchasing this beast. My legion 9i gen 9 arrived yesterday and i am absolutely blown away. This one is fully maxed out. lets not talk about the display. it's stunning.
@Shapeshifterxx Yes, I got it on sale for £3,507. However, I added 3 years of premium care warranty, 3 years of accidental damage, and Lenovo performance. So I paid a total of £3,677. Lenovo also gave me 99% discount on the 3-year premium care warranty. This is an absolute best of laptop. You'll not be disappointed. The display is stunning. I averaged about 120fps @ 3.2k ultra settings playing plague tale requiem. Over 175fps @ 2.5k ultra settings. Upto 200+fps @ 1440p ultra settings. With DLSS set to Auto. No frame generation. Same with Battlefield 2042. It's an absolute beast. Congratulations in advance 😃😃😃😃
I got it for $2960 (before taxes) with a big discount. Great review man! I feel good about my purchase :D I am going to enjoy gaming on this powerful machine!
@@emmanuelkalaba5733 It was $3060 on Lenovos website but they sent me a $100 discount code that I applied and the price was $2960 and with taxes it came up to $3200

Great review. Wish I could have afforded to an 9i. Bought a 7i gen 9 instead for a really good discount direct from Lenovo. The only things I don't like about it is the short battery life per charge and Windows 11. Really like that it doesn't scream "GAMER!" with LED lights everywhere. It's like driving a sleeper car. ;)
I once had the Legion Slim Gen 7 for a marketing job I had, It was a powerhouse for video editing and motion graphics. I was excited to see the Legion 9i, but when it came to purchasing a $3500+ laptop, I went with the M3 Max MacBook Pro for the battery performance, great speakers, and quiet fans when doing heavy work. In that regard the price of the 9i is hard to justify. Great video!
Hi Tyler, you showed your results in observing the liquid cooler actually doing something in Alan Wake Except that in your clip the GPU temps were 76 and yet based on the technical design and the documentation, and testing from other reviewers... the liquid cooler doesnt kick in until 87 degrees lol There is also an illuminated pump indicated on the backside that informs you when the liquid cooling pump is active
Correct, but you can force the cooler on in the Lenovo Vantage app. I have a full video on the liquid cooler you should check out. TLDR; the cooler won't improve gaming performance, but it can lower temp by nearly 10C or more.
This thing is a beast ,but I saw a 7i pro it had a 4090 too for a bit cheaper, but oh well it was too late, and plus I had gotten lucky on an open box missing the power supply for a great deal.
When you benchmark Time Spy in performance mode, do you get stuttering and a graphics score in the 20k range? It should normally reach 2k more. If so, you can't recommend this machine to anyone because everyone has had this problem for months. It also happens regularly with AAA games.
I really want to know if the smaller trackpad/lowered keyboard rly is a big deal? From what ive read, the trackpad and keyboard are still really good minus the size/placement, etc..
Can confirm theyre still great/the keyboard is probs the best laptop one ive used lol But i cant get over the placement/size Mechanically tho all of it is brilliant
@@fuckdubs yea, I’ve imagined it in my head, dont think ill get used to it either, maybe carry a small gel/plastic wrist rest or smtn… who knows.

@@XXIVCONCEPT good to know… im counting down the days… should get it by the 10th. Also realized mine comes with wifi 6e and not wifi 7… but no biggie, id rather have intel chip than mediatek.
Couldn't agree more. I'll be honest, I think the 9i has the most headroom for REALLY pushing the limit. The liquid cooler does help in keeping the i9 chip under control without throttling it like so many other machines will. However, it's a bit unconventional to use day-to-day. I'm currently working on my Legion 7i review now.
@@XXIVCONCEPTbut have you noticed if the liquid cooling mode really works? If I’m not mistaken there should be liquid cooling icon on the back of the of the display that will light up if liquid cooling mode on.

@@XXIVCONCEPT Hey bud, you still using the legion 9i till now? I wonder it seems it’ll be hassle work if you plan to repaste the cpu huh? Lastly, when you mentioned couple hours on battery how many hours roughly you able to squeeze from this laptop on anything besides from gaming ?
What do you mean? If you’re asking if you can power a display via Thunderbolt and game on it then yes. The thunderbolt ports work in conjunction with the GPU as far as I can tell. What is it that you’re trying to do?
My reference to “correct” has to do with how you choose to configure it for each game you play. Sadly HDR on Windows is a pretty awful experience so even if you turn it on in Windows and set a color profile, you’re still going to see some ghosting and other anomalies. My recommendation is to only enable HDR when playing HDR (Windows Key + Alt + B) enabled games and adjusting the HDR within the supported game. From there it’s up to you to figure what looks best to you. I recommend keeping HDR OFF in Windows itself. There’s no need to keep HDR on when just zooming around on the desktop in my opinion. Use that shortcut to enable and disable HDR as you please.
@@XXIVCONCEPT I understand. On this laptop when I turn on HDR in windows settings there is a slider labeled HDR Content Brightness Slider. What value do you set that to? For the asus zephyrus laptops asus has an article that recommends setting it to 100 (0 is actually the brightest here)

Be careful, this looks like sponsored video. So few things that were incorrect or ignored. 1. Liquid cooler doesn't do anything at all, it's only connected to VRAM. And compared to similar device that is Lenovo Legion 7i, there is no difference. It's just another mechanical part that can break after time :) 2. As much as device it actually thin and small comparing it to competition, it has exactly the same if it comes to performance or it performs worse if device must use both GPU and CPU. 3. There is no Windows Hello by camera. 4. Laptop can be loud compared to other devices and yes you can hear pump turning on. Overall main issue here is fact that cooling stays on pretty much all the time, even while idle. 5. To replace RAM you have to flip mother board, so it requires full disassembly. 6. Extremely poor batter life. 7. Lenovo Vantage misses few features regarding how laptop behaves while on battery, or can glitch (screen goes dark after turning on app). 8. Thunderbolts support 140W charging only with Lenovo charger. 9. Blooming issue was solved a little by dimming whole zone where bright object is placed. During normal use it won't be visible by most of the people, but some of you might see it. Besides this there where skipped few interesting features. 1. Tobii support, combined with laptop it gives you few gimmick features like, blurring display, switching position of windows by using eyes, switching position of mouse cursor while using multiple displays 2. Included replaceable key caps and plastic scissors (not sure how it's called, this thing under key caps). 3. Whole laptop is soft, it's covered with some kind rubber or silicon. And no, it's not the best laptop. Razer Blade 16 would be considered better laptop by most of the people. It's smaller, lighter, performs as good or even better than this Lenovo. Has huge track pad and better screen.
@@filipakaguptak5557 Keep in mind I review based on what I used the product for. The features I omitted were done so because I didn’t use them or didn’t find them worth mentioning for most people. The liquid cooler DOES do something, I have a whole video showing that it does. The video absolutely was not sponsored though I am certainly not an engineer nor did I claim to be when evaluating the system so I understand how my lack of negativity in some areas could be construed as me dodging the bad rather was likely due to either a lack of knowledge or a carefully considered choice to omit the information for time sake. The focus of my channel is primarily on user experience and things I (personally) found to be good, bad, or useful. Understandably, this is not the same as a deep dive with tons of numbers and graphs like you may find on other channels. I don’t cover product that way because for the general audience, it’s too hard to follow and is why I usually disclaim that I do not do benchmarks. I try to balance the technical information as best I can based on what I know vs. what I can actually test in house. As a 1-man band, I am limited on what I can test and my knowledge is unfortunately going to be limited in some places since I cover a variety of tech products. That’s what comments are helpful for! I do the best with what I have. The goal is to be able to continue to provide what I deem to be the most valuable information on a given product, not to provide ALL the information on a product that’s available and study it to compare it to all other products in the same category. Does that make sense?
@@XXIVCONCEPT Quick answer, nice. But regarding the video about the liquid cooler, the whole video is basically pointless and even if it shows something, it shows that the pump doesn't do anything. From what I saw, you basically repeated what Lenovo said. My point is that you were definitely trying to look good for Lenovo, even if it wasn't sponsored. You shouldn't say something is good if you haven't tested it properly. What happens with this liquid cooler is that, in terms of temperatures, it's basically slightly worse than what the Lenovo Legion 7i has to offer. So no, it's not something good, and it's also another mechanical part that can break, and the biggest drawback I see in this laptop. But to be honest, even if it did break, no one would notice because it's only responsible for cooling the VRAM on the graphics card, and it only makes a difference of less than 1 degree Celsius. All the things I've mentioned are important, they don't need to take up a whole section of the video, but you should mention that they're there. As much as I don't mind other things, there should be a mention of how the fans behave when the laptop is idle, the fact that the laptop doesn't last a couple of hours on battery, but at most 4 hours when idle and around 2 when using it for basic things, the fact that to replace the RAM you have to filp the motherboard, which some of the customers won't be able to do. It's not something you need to test or have knowledge for, it's something you can say from user experience.
I bought one a few days ago and i love it, the recent updates to a lot of it's drivers have fixed any performance issues it was having about a year ago. This laptop is absolutely amazing and i love it! ❤🎉
Ordered one recently (on sale, but still cost the equivalent of $4500 (with $800 off - my country sucks). As long as the panel is free of any serious defects, I'll be keeping it. Currently own a Legion 7i 4080. I liked it so much, I wanted more.
Performance wise it's not even close to my desktop, which has an actual 4090, but I love having a portable device that can at least pretend to be capable of high end gaming.

Dude, we only live once, you have to treat yourself to these things every now and again
@@niziksobirov2477 about 4k with a senior discount and a coupon code
Be careful, this looks like sponsored video.
So few things that were incorrect or ignored.
1. Liquid cooler doesn't do anything at all, it's only connected to VRAM. And compared to similar device that is Lenovo Legion 7i, there is no difference. It's just another mechanical part that can break after time :)
2. As much as device it actually thin and small comparing it to competition, it has exactly the same if it comes to performance or it performs worse if device must use both GPU and CPU.
3. There is no Windows Hello by camera.
4. Laptop can be loud compared to other devices and yes you can hear pump turning on. Overall main issue here is fact that cooling stays on pretty much all the time, even while idle.
5. To replace RAM you have to flip mother board, so it requires full disassembly.
6. Extremely poor batter life.
7. Lenovo Vantage misses few features regarding how laptop behaves while on battery, or can glitch (screen goes dark after turning on app).
8. Thunderbolts support 140W charging only with Lenovo charger.
9. Blooming issue was solved a little by dimming whole zone where bright object is placed. During normal use it won't be visible by most of the people, but some of you might see it.
Besides this there where skipped few interesting features.
1. Tobii support, combined with laptop it gives you few gimmick features like, blurring display, switching position of windows by using eyes, switching position of mouse cursor while using multiple displays
2. Included replaceable key caps and plastic scissors (not sure how it's called, this thing under key caps).
3. Whole laptop is soft, it's covered with some kind rubber or silicon.
And no, it's not the best laptop. Razer Blade 16 would be considered better laptop by most of the people. It's smaller, lighter, performs as good or even better than this Lenovo. Has huge track pad and better screen.
@@filipakaguptak5557 Keep in mind I review based on what I used the product for. The features I omitted were done so because I didn’t use them or didn’t find them worth mentioning for most people. The liquid cooler DOES do something, I have a whole video showing that it does. The video absolutely was not sponsored though I am certainly not an engineer nor did I claim to be when evaluating the system so I understand how my lack of negativity in some areas could be construed as me dodging the bad rather was likely due to either a lack of knowledge or a carefully considered choice to omit the information for time sake.
The focus of my channel is primarily on user experience and things I (personally) found to be good, bad, or useful. Understandably, this is not the same as a deep dive with tons of numbers and graphs like you may find on other channels. I don’t cover product that way because for the general audience, it’s too hard to follow and is why I usually disclaim that I do not do benchmarks. I try to balance the technical information as best I can based on what I know vs. what I can actually test in house. As a 1-man band, I am limited on what I can test and my knowledge is unfortunately going to be limited in some places since I cover a variety of tech products. That’s what comments are helpful for!
I do the best with what I have. The goal is to be able to continue to provide what I deem to be the most valuable information on a given product, not to provide ALL the information on a product that’s available and study it to compare it to all other products in the same category.
Does that make sense?
@@XXIVCONCEPT Quick answer, nice.
But regarding the video about the liquid cooler, the whole video is basically pointless and even if it shows something, it shows that the pump doesn't do anything. From what I saw, you basically repeated what Lenovo said. My point is that you were definitely trying to look good for Lenovo, even if it wasn't sponsored. You shouldn't say something is good if you haven't tested it properly. What happens with this liquid cooler is that, in terms of temperatures, it's basically slightly worse than what the Lenovo Legion 7i has to offer. So no, it's not something good, and it's also another mechanical part that can break, and the biggest drawback I see in this laptop. But to be honest, even if it did break, no one would notice because it's only responsible for cooling the VRAM on the graphics card, and it only makes a difference of less than 1 degree Celsius.
All the things I've mentioned are important, they don't need to take up a whole section of the video, but you should mention that they're there. As much as I don't mind other things, there should be a mention of how the fans behave when the laptop is idle, the fact that the laptop doesn't last a couple of hours on battery, but at most 4 hours when idle and around 2 when using it for basic things, the fact that to replace the RAM you have to filp the motherboard, which some of the customers won't be able to do. It's not something you need to test or have knowledge for, it's something you can say from user experience.
buy i9, enjoy instability
Nobody is paying $4000 for a gaming laptop
Re-read the title.
It will go on sale
still doing long EDM intros in 2024?
The guys who have money to purchase the laptop they are old now and they haven't a clip-thinking 😅 So that's not a problem 😄
