Lenovo releases new Nvidia GeForce RTX 5070 12 GB gaming laptop globally with 165 Hz OLED display
Yesterday, we reported that Lenovo had finally acknowledged the existence of the Legion 5 15IAX11. Added to its PSREF website, the laptop first appeared on Amazon in late March with a pair of unreleased components. Not only are the Intel Core Ultra 7 251HX and Nvidia GeForce RTX 5070 12 GB now official, but Lenovo has started selling the Legion 5 15IAX11, too.
Currently we can find the Legion 5i Gen 11 15-inch (15IAX11) being sold across Australia, France, Germany, Hong Kong, Ireland, Malaysia, Singapore and the UK. Meanwhile, Lenovo states that the laptop is 'coming soon' in North America. Setting that aside, the new Legion 5i departs from the Legion 5i 15IRX10 that we reviewed last year in a few areas (curr. $1,619 on Amazon).
For instance, the 15IAX11 moves to a 15.3-inch display to match other Legion 5i Gen 11 models. A 2,560 x 1,600 OLED panel, the display also delivers a 165 Hz refresh rate with 100% DCI-P3 colour space coverage and 500 nits peak brightness, which rises to 1,100 nits when viewing HDR Content. This larger display sits within a 1.93 kg housing that measures 344 x 244.5 x 18.95-19.95 mm, compared to 1.9 kg and 344.9 x 255.35 x 19.95-21.54 mm for OLED versions of the Legion 5i 15IRX10.
Moreover, Lenovo equips the 15IAX11 with an 80 Wh battery and a choice between Core Ultra 7 251HX or Core Ultra 9 290HX Plus processors in most markets. A cheaper Core 7 245HX variant is available in Europe, though. Currently, these processors can be complemented by the GeForce RTX 5060 (8 GB) or the GeForce RTX 5070 (12 GB), as well as 16 GB or 32 GB of DDR5-5600 RAM.
Pricing starts at AUD 3,279 in Australia, SGD 3,002 in Singapore, MYR 9,019 in Malaysia and HKD 23,361 in Hong Kong. Meanwhile, the same laptop has reached the UK for £1,636 and the Eurozone for €1,918-€2,209, but only when configured with the Core 7 245HX. For reference, doing so prevents one from configuring a GeForce RTX 5070 12 GB. Please see Lenovo's website for more details.
