CES 2024 | Lenovo Legion Pro 5i Gen 9 unveiled with Intel Raptor Lake Refresh architecture upgrades

According to Lenovo's press release, the Legion Pro 5i Gen 9 relies upon an 80 Wh battery that supports 300 W wired charging or 140 W via one of its USB ports. Despite having a 19% smaller battery capacity than the Legion Pro 7i Gen 9, the Legion Pro 5i Gen 9 still features the same high-end display.

Moreover, Lenovo states that the panel is VESA DisplayHDR 400 certification, delivers 500 nits peak brightness and covers 100% of the sRGB colour space.
