You may be familiar with all-in-one water cooling systems, like the one we used in our test bench of the i9-13900K review. Guess what? Lenovo plans decided to make a water-cooling laptop in the form of the gaming computer Legion 9i. Let's check out the details below.
WHY is there a $4000 laptop? – Lenovo Legion 9i
Starting with the specifications, the new Legion 9i can pack the flagship Intel Core i9-13980HX based on the Raptor Lake architecture. This is a very powerful CPU and is definitely one of the best available in a gaming laptop. The GPU used here is a mobile variant of the RTX 4090 and it has 16GB of GDDR6 VRAM. The combination here is really quite powerful. It may come with Lenovo's AI Engine+ feature.
The laptop is expected to have a slim profile of 18.9mm and they have used the "world's thinnest water cooling system" to maintain it. There may be three fans and the water cooling system should help maintain the temperature when the laptop goes above 84 degrees. Basically, the built-in water cooling system in the laptop will only kick in during excessive heat, so we can expect the internal pump to maintain its lifespan.
There is said to be a triple fan system with 3D blades. Plus, instead of using conventional thermal paste, they instead use liquid metal which helps lower the temperature even further. With these powerful, premium parts, it's going to need all the cooling it can get and Lenovo seems to have checked all the marks here. The laptop is likely to feature a 16.3-inch 2K IPS display with a variable refresh rate that reaches up to 165Hz.
