The 2024 Lenovo Legion Y9000X has made its official debut in China. Pre-sale for the gaming laptop starts tomorrow, with the base variant costing CNY13,999 (around $1,947), while the top-end model has an initial price of CNY14,999 (around $2,086).
Regarding the specs, both configurations of the Legion Y9000X come with the Intel Core i9-14900HX, which we had the chance to take a look at with an engineering sample. In our tests of that early gaming laptop sample, we found that the 14th gen processor is better than its 13th gen predecessor and can even outperform the last-generation top-end Core i9-13980HX in some aspects.
Moving to the graphics department, the base variant of Legion Y9000X packs the Nvidia RTX 4060, while the expensive config has the Nvidia RTX 4070. It's good to see Lenovo still offering multiple GPU options for this gaming laptop, just like it did for the predecessor.
Speaking of which, the other specs of the 2024 Lenovo Legion Y9000X are similar to last year's model. For example, the new laptop has the same PureSight Pro screen as the predecessor. But that's not exactly a bad thing, as the display has a 3200 x 2000 pixels resolution, 100% DCI-P3 coverage, 430 nits of typical brightness rating, and a 165 Hz refresh rate. It also has the same slim and light chassis as the last year's model. Check the image attached at the end to learn more.
As for the international availability, there's no word from Lenovo yet. However, the 2023 laptop did get rebranded as the 2023 Legion Slim 7i (available on Amazon). The same rebranding will likely happen for the 2024 Y9000X.
