Lenovo Legion 5i Gen 9 Reviews

With the i9-14900HX and RTX 4070, everything they play runs at 60fps or more on high settings, and it is the fastest device they own. It survived a fall in its bag.

Owns the same hardware and finds PDFs and general use seamless even on battery. With battery optimization and moderate undervolting there is no lag.

Four months in with no problems, runs basically any game at high graphics. The only downside is that charging and other ports are at the back; worth the price overall.

Bought the laptop a few months ago, connects it to a 4K TV and gets a stable 30-50 FPS in heavy games with DLSS, loves it and added a 2TB SSD.

Has the same i7/RTX 4070 laptop and never needed to tweak it. In balanced mode the GPU stays at 75-80W with great temps, though the 4070 falls short in one VRAM-heavy game.

Owner of the i7-14650HX/RTX 4070 model, impressed by what it can do once tuned with undervolting and power limits, with stable 60-80 FPS in demanding games.

Calls it a great machine but notes the CPU gets a bit hot; in performance mode a cooling pad brought temperatures down about 15C.

On their i7 Legion 5i, nothing is buggy and undervolting raised benchmark scores by about 20% and cut temperatures by about 12C, with lower power draw.

Bought the 2024 Legion 5i with i7-14650HX and RTX 4060 instead of the Pro 5i, and after initial doubts is happy with the value.

Has used the Legion 5i Gen 9 for six months with nothing to report and calls it an amazing machine.
