Lenovo Introduces World’s First WQHD+ 240Hz Gaming Laptops Starting From RM6,359

Today, Lenovo is introducing its powerful 16-inch and 15-inch gaming laptops for demanding gamers, and 14-inch laptops made for students and professionals.

The star of the show, Lenovo Legion 5i Pro and 5 Pro are the world’s first 16-inch laptop series with a WQHD+ up to 240Hz adaptive refresh rate gaming display. It supports Dolby Vision, AMD FreeSync Premium, and NVIDIA G-SYNC for tearing-free gameplay.

Inside this powerful machine, it is packing Intel 12th gen processor i7-12700H (Legion 5i Pro) and the latest AMD Ryzen 6800H (Legion 5 Pro) with support for 16GB 4800Mhz DDR5 memory and up to 1TB PCle SSD (Gen4)​ of storage.

There’s also support for Wi-Fi 6E and Super Rapid Charge that can go from zero to 80 percent battery life in just 30 minutes of charging.

For your gaming needs, the laptop is powered by up to NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070 Ti 8GB GDDR6. Don’t worry about overheating, the laptops are equipped with an improved cooling system, which makes them quieter than previous generations.

You can’t game without a nice sound setup. Designed for hardcore gamers, Nahimic Audio on Lenovo Legion laptops delivers professional-level sound tuning and audio effects via a precise 10-band equalizer that lets gamers personalize their game’s sound frequencies.

Heavy gaming laptops are a thing of the past. This laptop’s body is crafted from an aluminium and magnesium metal blend (Al + Mg) for extreme lightness and you can get them in metallic Storm Grey and pearlized Glacier White hue.

Next up is the Lenovo Legion 5 and Legion 5i. They are pretty similar to the Pro models, but they only support up to NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070 8GB GDDR6 and they have a 15-inch 16:9 WQHD display that supports up to 165Hz refresh rate. You can get them in Storm Grey and Cloud Grey colour.

Now let’s move on to the productivity laptops, the Yoga series.

First up, we have the most powerful Yoga laptop, the Yoga 9i. This is a 2-in-1 interactive touchscreen laptop that gives users the option for a laptop mode or a tablet mode for a range of creative users.

Under the hood, it can support up to the 12th Gen Intel Core i7-1260P processor combined with Intel Iris Xe graphics to deliver superior performance. For memory, there’s a non-expendable 16GB LPDDR5 and you can put up to a 1TB of Gen4 NVMe SSD.

For display, it is a 14-inch touchscreen that can go up to 4K OLED, up to 500 nits of brightness, and is certified for 100 percent DCI-P3 color accuracy. For security, there’s a FHD IR webcam and a fingerprint scanner.

This laptop has a unique Rotating Sound Bar with quad Bowers & Wilkins speakers, consisting of two woofers and two tweeters on the top and sides for an improved range of frequency response, increasing the depth, clarity and warmth of bass effects.

You can get the Yoga 9i in Storm Grey and Oatmeal colour.

The next Yoga laptop in the lineup is the Yoga 7i. This is another 2-in-1 that is equipped with up to 12th Gen Intel Core i7-1260P processor and Intel Iris Xe graphics. It has a 14-inch 91% screen-to-body ratio touchscreen display that can go up to 2.2K resolution, and 100 percent sRGB colour gamut and Dolby Vision support. The front-facing speakers are powered by Dolby Atmos.

You can get the Yoga 7i in Slate Grey or Dark Moss colour.

Last but not least, we have the Yoga Slim 7i Pro. This laptop is pretty similar to the rest, but it has a 14-inch 16:10 aspect ratio touchscreen that can display up to 2.8K resolution. Lenovo didn’t announce what colour you could get this laptop in.
