Aside from the Yoga Book 9i and LOQ, Lenovo also announced the availability of its refreshed Legion Pro 5i, one of the models in its premium gaming laptop line. Like its counterparts, the laptop is refreshed with Intel’s current 13th Gen Raptor Lake CPUs.
Specs-wise, the new Legion Pro 5i can be fitted with up to a Core i9-13900HX that features 24-cores, 32-threads and 5.4GHz boost, but it should be made known that the base model comes with an equally powerful Core i7-13700HX CPU. For its GPU, consumers will have a choice between an NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4060 and RTX 4070, the difference between the two GPUs being around RM890.
Other specifications of the Legion Pro 5i include up to 64GB DDR5-4800 RAM, and up to 1TB of storage, courtesy of the PCIe Gen4 SSD. Regardless of the internal component choices, all variations of the laptops come with a 16-inch WQXGA (2560 x 1600) IPS display, which is a panel with a 16:10 aspect ratio panel. Additionally, the display is also a high refresh rate model, with the ability to run at 240Hz and has a peak brightness of 500 nits.
Keeping the Legion Pro 5i is a moderately beefy 80WHr battery that also supports Super Rapid Charge, meaning that you can get up to 80% battery life for just 30 minutes of charging, and double the time if you wish to fully charge it.
Ports-wise, the Legion Pro 5i comes with two USB-C 3.2 Gen2 ports, two USB-A 3.2 Gen1 ports, an HDMI 2.1 output port, as well as a full-sized LAN port, the majority of which is situated in the rear of the laptop’s spine, a design aesthetic that has long been used by Lenovo in its design of its Legion lineup.
The Lenovo Legion Pro 5i starts from RM7,299. If you’re purchasing the laptop via the brand’s official product page, do note that the starting price of it is set at RM7518.74, primarily that price tag also consists of other extra added accessories.
