The 2024 Lenovo Legion Y9000P has officially launched in China. It comes with the top-end Intel Raptor Lake Refresh processor, the 140-watt Core i9-14900HX. As the results from our tests suggest, compared to the i9-13900HX found in the maxed-out variant of the predecessor, the new CPU offers a moderate performance boost. So, the 2024 should offer better performance than the predecessor.
Moving to the graphics department, the 2024 Legion Y9000P comes with the Nvidia RTX 40 series GPUs, with the base variant featuring the RTX 4060 and the top-end configuration packing the 175-watt RTX 4090. There’s one middle-of-the-road configuration available as well. It comes with the RTX 4070. But unlike the 2023 model of the gaming laptop, no matter which one you pick, the processor is the same.
To keep the thermals of these power-hungry components at the optimal range, the 2024 Legion Y9000P integrates the Frost Blade Ultra cooling system. Lenovo says that it lets the system offer 250 watts of performance, which suggests that the gaming laptop can handle heavy loads with ease.
All the configurations of the gaming laptop come with a 1 TB SSD, and only the base variant is available with 16 GB of RAM. The others have 32 GB of DDR5 5600 memory.
Regarding the screen, all the configurations of the 2024 Legion Y9000P have a 16-inch display with a resolution of 2560 x 1600 pixels. It features a 240 Hz refresh rate, has 100% DCI-P3 coverage, can offer 500 nits of max brightness, and sports a 3 ms response time. The panel also supports DisplayHDR 400, Dolby Vision, and Nvidia G-Sync.
Lenovo hasn’t shared information on the global debut yet, but the 2023 Legion Y9000P gaming laptop got rebranded as the Legion Pro 7i (available on Amazon) and 5i (Core i7-13700HX and RTX 4060 config curr. $1,295 on Amazon) in the international markets. The same rebranding will likely happen for the new 2024 series.
