The two color options of the 2026 Legion Y7000X (edited)
A handful of Lenovo Legion gaming laptops have been launched in China with the Nvidia RTX 5070 12GB laptop GPU: the 2026 Y7000P, Y9000P, Y7000X, and Y9000X. They are all powered by the Intel Arrow Lake HX CPUs.

Lenovo has launched a couple of new gaming laptops in China that have the Nvidia RTX 5070 12GB laptop GPU. This is a refreshed variant, which was officially released in April 2026, and these Legion-branded laptops are among the first ones to feature it.

Among the notable ones are the 2026 Legion Y7000X and Y7000P. These two are powered by up to the Intel Core Ultra 7 251HX CPU, and among the two, the former has a lightweight and slim design. Lenovo notes that it weighs around 1.95kg and is 18.9mm thin. It also comes with a 15.3-inch OLED display with a 165Hz refresh rate, 2560x1600 pixels, and a peak brightness rating of 1,100 nits.

The Legion Y7000P, on the other hand, has a 16-inch IPS screen with the same resolution but a 240Hz refresh rate and a peak brightness rating of 500 nits. The screen might be seen as a downgrade, but it comes with a better cooling setup. Both the gaming laptops feature 16GB of RAM, but the memory seems to be upgradeable (Corsair Vengeance 32GB DDR5-5600 kit curr. $365 on Amazon).

There are multiple configurations available, but the Y7000X with the 12GB Nvidia RTX 5070 Laptop GPU starts at CNY 14,699, around $2,160. The recently released Legion 5i 15IAX11 for the global market has some matching specs, but its display maxes out with a 165Hz refresh rate.

As for the Y7000P, its specs don't appear to match any of the currently available Legion gaming laptops in the global market. Nonetheless, in China, the configuration with the RTX 5070 12GB Laptop GPU costs CNY 13,499, about $1,984.

Among the two, the Y9000X has a lighter build, but it has a 170W dual-fan cooler. The Y9000P, on the other hand, sports a 225W triple-fan cooling setup. The former with the 12GB RTX 5070 and 32GB of RAM costs CNY 18,999, around $2,792, while the latter with 16GB of RAM goes for CNY 17,499, about $2,572.
