The Lenovo Legion Pro 5i Gen 9, also listed as the Legion Pro 5-16IRX9, launched in 2024 as Lenovo's mid-tier 16-inch gaming laptop for players and creators who want desktop-class performance without the desktop. It pairs an Intel Core HX-series processor with NVIDIA discrete graphics, aimed at anyone running current AAA titles, video editing, or CAD work on the go. It holds value well because the platform is genuinely upgradable, the display and cooling are built for sustained load rather than short bursts, and the i9/RTX 4070 configuration still competes with newer machines a generation later.

Confirm you have the Legion Pro 5i Gen 9

The fastest way to check is Windows. Press the Windows key + R, type dxdiag, and press Enter — the System tab lists the exact model name and BIOS version. You can also open Lenovo Vantage, which shows the full model number and installed configuration. If the laptop won't boot, the model number is printed on a sticker on the underside of the chassis.

Legion Pro 5i Gen 9 / Legion Pro 5-16IRX9

  • Model name appears under Settings → System → About as "Legion Pro 5i Gen 9"
  • Full model code 16IRX9 printed on the base sticker
  • Lenovo Vantage app confirms installed CPU and GPU
  • BIOS screen (F2 at boot) also lists the model string

Prefer a visual check? Look for the Legion logo on the lid, a dark chassis with angular vents at the rear, and a keyboard deck with a numeric pad on the right. The rear edge houses most of the ports, a layout unique to this generation of Legion Pro laptops.

Core hardware configurations

Processor

  • Intel Core i7-14700HX (8 performance + 12 efficiency cores, 28 threads)
  • Intel Core i9-14900HX (8 performance + 16 efficiency cores, 32 threads)
  • The i9 config is the stronger resale pick for CPU-bound workloads

Graphics

  • NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4060 laptop GPU, 8GB GDDR6
  • NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 laptop GPU, 8GB GDDR6
  • GPU tier moves resale value more than CPU tier on this model

Memory

  • DDR5 RAM across two SO-DIMM slots
  • User-upgradable — not soldered
  • Higher installed RAM helps but matters less than GPU tier for value

Storage

  • PCIe Gen4 NVMe SSD
  • Dual M.2 2280 slots for expansion
  • Storage is user-replaceable, so a wiped or missing drive is not a dealbreaker

Display & audio

Display

16-inch WQXGA (2560x1600) IPS panel with a high refresh rate tuned for fast-paced gaming. The taller 16:10 aspect ratio gives extra vertical space over the older 16:9 Legion models.

Audio

Stereo speakers tuned with Nahimic audio software, plus a combo headphone/microphone jack for a wired headset when you want lower latency than Bluetooth.

Ports & connectivity

Most of the physical connections sit along the rear edge, a Legion design choice that keeps cables out of the way during play.

Battery, build & more

Battery

A large multi-cell battery covers everyday use, though gaming sessions on battery power will always run shorter than plugged in. The laptop ships with a high-wattage proprietary charger sized for the discrete GPU.

Software

Ships with Windows 11 and Lenovo Vantage, which handles driver updates, fan curves, and lighting controls.

Market positioning

Positioned as a mid-tier gaming laptop, below Lenovo's Legion Pro 7 line but above the base Legion 5 series. The RTX 4070/i9 configuration is the strongest performer in this family and tends to hold demand longest.

Frequently asked questions

01 How do I find the model number or exact configuration?
Press Windows key + R, type dxdiag, and press Enter to see the model name, processor, and installed memory. Lenovo Vantage gives the same details plus the GPU tier and storage size. The model number is also printed on a sticker on the underside of the chassis if the laptop won't power on. If you're unsure which Lenovo model you have in general, our guide to finding your Lenovo model number walks through it step by step.
02 How do I tell it apart from the Legion Pro 5 (AMD)?
Check the processor brand in dxdiag or on the BIOS screen. The Legion Pro 5i Gen 9 (16IRX9) runs an Intel Core i7-14700HX or i9-14900HX, while the non-"i" Legion Pro 5 Gen 9 uses an AMD Ryzen HX-series chip and carries a different model code ending in ARX9 instead of IRX9. The two look nearly identical from the outside, so relying on the sticker or system information is more reliable than judging by appearance alone.
03 Can I sell it with damage, like a cracked screen or a battery that won't hold a charge?
Yes, damaged units are still worth quoting. Pick the closest condition in the picker above and the offer adjusts to reflect a cracked screen, a weak battery, or a unit that won't turn on. Before you ship it, sign out of your Microsoft account under Settings → Accounts and make sure BitLocker is suspended or disabled if it was enabled, since a locked drive can block testing and hold up your payout.
04 What raises the trade-in value the most?
Working condition and a clean, matching configuration matter most. A unit that powers on, holds a charge, and has an undamaged screen and hinge will always quote higher than one with cosmetic or functional issues. Beyond condition, the RTX 4070 and i9 configuration commands more than the RTX 4060/i7 base build, and having the original charger included helps, since a Legion's proprietary power brick is otherwise a separate cost for the buyer.
05 How do I erase it, remove my accounts, and get paid?
Go to Settings → System → Recovery → Reset this PC and choose to remove everything. Before you reset, sign out of your Microsoft account under Settings → Accounts, and if BitLocker is turned on, suspend or disable it so the drive isn't locked for our technicians. If the laptop is tied to a Microsoft account on another device, remove it from your account online as well. Once it's wiped, box it up using our prepaid shipping label — shipping is free and insured. We test the unit against your listed configuration and pay out by PayPal, Venmo, Zelle, CashApp, or check. Full details are in our data erasure protocols.
