85% Lenovo Legion 9i review (2023 RTX 4080 model)

The Lenovo Legion 9i would have probably made more sense as a Legion Slim 9i, setting more realistic expectations that way. That's because this is a performance laptop in a premium slim chassis, one that performs well and runs surprisingly cool for what it is, but compromises on inputs, audio quality and battery life. It's also an expensive computer, especially outside the US, so rather difficult to recommend open heartedly. But it is the most refined Legion to date, and a device I enjoyed using more than I expected at first.

15-inch display variants are the standard and are used for more than half of all laptops.

The reason for the popularity of mid-sized displays is that this size is reasonably easy on the eyes, often allows high resolutions and thus offers rich details on the screen, yet does not consume too much power and the devices can still be reasonably compact - simply the standard compromise.
