New Lenovo gaming laptop launches with bright OLED and up to Nvidia RTX 5090

The 2026 Lenovo Y9000P "Extreme Edition" is one of the new products that the brand introduced at the latest launch event held in China. Its processor has seen the most notable change from the last version. Under the hood, there's the Intel Core Ultra 9 290HX Plus, a recently released CPU.

As we noted in our review of the Core Ultra 9 290HX Plus-equipped Alienware 16, this new CPU does bring some improvement, but it's not significant. Lenovo highlights that the processor can offer up to 165W of performance, and it can be paired with up to 24GB Nvidia RTX 5090 Laptop GPU, which is said to deliver up to 175W of performance.

Potential buyers will also have the option to choose the Nvidia RTX 5070 Ti as the laptop's GPU, but the CPU will remain the same. There's a 285W triple-fan cooler, which promises to make the power-hungry internals of the laptop offer sustained performance under load. 

Another notable highlight of the Legion Y9000P "Extreme Edition" is its 16-inch OLED display, which reaches a peak brightness of 1,100 nits. This bright display is said to have a 100% DCI-P3 color coverage, 240Hz refresh rate, 16:10 aspect ratio, and a resolution of 2560x1600 pixels.

There's a rich selection of ports, and Lenovo has integrated RGB lights on the rear exhaust, front bottom, and the back chassis of the gaming laptop. WiFi 7, up to 64GB of DDR5 RAM, and a TrueStrike keyboard are among the other highlights. The RTX 5070 Ti configuration starts at CNY 20,999, about $3,081, while the RTX 5090 configuration is available from CNY 37,999, around $5,575. It's expected to launch in the global market under the Legion 7i Pro name (Gen 10 with 275HX and RTX 5090 curr. $2,759.92 on Lenovo).
