The fastest gaming laptop we've ever tested is here and its the Legion 9i which has a brand new design for 2025. With an RTX 5090 and Intel Ultra 9 275HX, we put this up to some of the best gaming laptops with AMD and Intel CPUs alongside the RTX 4090. Well it turns out that the Legion 9i is amazing in a lot of ways but it falls short in others.

The Lenovo Legion 9i is a design statement that looks great and proves enjoyable to use day-to-day. It also delivers strong game performance and an incredible array of leading-edge ports. These benefits are countered by a mediocre display with a 1200p/440Hz (or, alternatively, glasses-free 3D) mode that’s of questionable use. CPU performance also fell short of expectations. Still, the Legion 9i is a reasonable choice if you care mostly about GPU performance and will often connect the laptop to an external display.

Despite being a bit late to the 18-inch gaming ring, the Lenovo Legion 9 18 is easily one of the best in its size category even when up against seasoned models like the MSI Titan or Razer Blade 18.

Lenovo’s Legion 9i is the best 18” gaming laptop I’ve ever tested - but you can’t have the good without the bad, there are some big compromises you need to know about.

3.532 kg:
Only a few laptops are in this weight class because the mobility is rather limited due to the high weight.
84.73%: This rating is slightly above average, there are somewhat more devices with worse ratings. However, clear purchase recommendations look different.
