Lenovo releases new Intel Panther Lake gaming laptop with 165 Hz OLED display
Lenovo has quietly released the Legion 5i Gen 11 in Europe after indicating that the laptop would be available in North America this April. Replacing Arrow Lake HX-based predecessors (curr. $1,765 on Amazon), the Legion 5i Gen 11 switches to newer Panther Lake-H alternatives but drops to a GeForce RTX 5060 from a GeForce RTX 5070.
Also, the Gen 11 model finds itself with a 15.3-inch OLED display that combines a 1600p resolution with 1,000 nits peak brightness, a 165 Hz refresh rate and a 16:10 aspect ratio. Wi-Fi 7 connectivity is also included, as is an 80 Wh battery, DDR5-5600 RAM and M.2 2242 storage. Moreover, the new laptop comes with Core Ultra 7 356H or Core Ultra 9 386H processors.
The Legion 5i Gen 11 starts at £1,650 (~$2,278) in the UK and €1,729 (~$2,065) in the Eurozone. However, it is worth noting that these prices do not include an operating system or a 245 W power supply. Also, this base configuration ships with a Core Ultra 7 356H processor, GeForce RTX 5060 GPU, 16 GB of RAM, a 1 TB SSD and a single-zone RGB keyboard.
Like the Legion 5a Gen 11, the Legion 5i Gen 11 can be optioned with a variety of configurations, too. At the time of writing, the Intel-based gaming laptop can be priced up to £2,209 (~$3,049.99) and €2,339 (~$2,795) when configuring the Core Ultra 9 386H, 32 GB RAM, a 24-zone RGB keyboard, a 245 W power supply and a Windows 11 Pro licence.
