The 2025 refresh of the Lenovo Legion 9i is arguably the best-balanced 18-inch high-performance/gaming laptop available in stores today. It's not without some quirks, but it checks almost all of the right boxes when it comes to build quality, functionality and capabilities, while generally running at lower temperatures and fan noise than the competition in its segment. It's only available with glossy IPS displays, though, and it's a heavy chassis even for its niche, so make sure you're fine with these aspects before jumping on it.
Pros
- classy design, sturdy build, solid ergonomics
- good inputs and IO, with some ports on the back edge
- fast 4K 240Hz display, with optional 3D technology
- powerful in sustained loads and games, on par with rivals
- runs quieter and/or cooler than most, if not all, rivals
- punchy rich audio
- among the most competitively priced in its niche
Cons
- chunky and heavy, especially in the variant with the 3D screen
- glossy display, only available with IPS panels
- annoying always-on lights in the power button
- the fans rarely idle with light use
