Standout Innovations for 2025

• Coldfront: Vapor Cooling: To handle the massive heat of an Ultra 9 + RTX 5090, Lenovo uses a full-chassis vapor chamber and liquid metal thermal paste.

• The “AI Engine+”: The dedicated LA-series AI chips monitor your CPU/GPU temperatures and frame rates 1,000 times per second to push more wattage to whichever component needs it most.

• Forged Carbon Design (Legion 9i): Each Legion 9 features a unique carbon fiber top cover pattern, making no two laptops look exactly alike.⁵

   

• Naked-Eye 3D (Optional): Some 18-inch models now offer specialized panels that allow for 3D viewing without glasses, specifically for CAD and 3D design work.⁶

Pricing Context (Nigeria 2025)

These are “Enterprise-level” gaming machines and carry a heavy price tag due to the new RTX 50-series hardware:

• Legion Pro 7i (Ultra 9 / RTX 5080): ₦3,900,000 – ₦4,500,000

• Legion 9i (Ultra 9 / RTX 5090): ₦5,200,000 – ₦6,500,000

Note: Because of the high cost, these are often “special order” items in Nigerian computer hubs like Ikeja or Victoria Island, rather than off-the-shelf stock.

Performance Breakdown

If you are comparing this to the previous year’s i9-14900HX:

1. AI Tasks: The Ultra 9 is roughly 2.5x faster in local AI image generation (Stable Diffusion).

2. Efficiency: The Ultra architecture allows for better “Quiet Mode” performance, staying cooler during low-intensity tasks
