Lenovo has quietly launched a new gaming laptop globally. Equipped with a 165 Hz and 1,100-nit OLED display, the Legion 5 15IAX11 also combines an 80 Wh battery with new Intel Arrow Lake HX processors and Nvidia's GeForce RTX 5070 12 GB laptop GPU.

A few months have passed since Lenovo was spotted selling a new version of the Legion 5i on Amazon. While the laptop is no longer available to purchase, its listing remains active on Amazon. Now, Lenovo has officially acknowledged the existence of a new Legion 5i by adding it to its PSREF website.

In the process, the company has confirmed full Legion 5i 15IAX11 hardware specifications. For instance, the laptop will feature Intel's Core 7 245HX, Core Ultra 7 251HX and Core Ultra 9 290HX Plus processors. Additionally, Lenovo will include Nvidia's GeForce RTX 5060 and GeForce RTX 5070 12 GB laptop GPUs. Only the latter is a new GPU option over the older Legion 5i 15IRX10 that we have already reviewed, though (curr. $1,619 on Amazon).

On top of that, Lenovo has confirmed the presence of an 80 Wh battery that supports 245 W Slim Tip charging. All SKUs will feature DDR5-5600 SODIMM RAM too, as well as M.2 2242 PCIe 5.0 and M.2 2280 PCIe 4.0 slots. Likewise, all Legion 5i 15IAX11 variants contain an identical 15.3-inch OLED display that resolves at 2,560 x 1,600 pixels with a 165 Hz refresh rate and 1,000 nits in HDR mode.

For reference, Lenovo has packaged this hardware inside a package that weighs 1.93 kg and measures 344 x 244.5 x 18.95-19.95 mm. Unfortunately, pricing and availability remains unknown for now. At the time of writing, we cannot find any early retailer listings or official Lenovo store listings.
