== Primary Hardware ==

=== [[Central Processing Unit (CPU)|Processor]] ===
The Legion Pro 5i (2024) ships with the following processors<ref name="specs" />: 
*[[Intel Core i5-14500HX]] with 14 cores (6 [[Performance Cores|P-cores]] + 8 [[Efficiency cores|E-cores]])/20 threads, 24 [[Bytes|MB]] cache and a max frequency of 4.9 [[Clock Speed|Ghz]] for P-cores and 3.5 Ghz for E-cores.
*[[Intel Core i7-14650HX]] with 16 cores (8 P-cores + 8 E-cores)/24 threads, 30 MB cache and max frequency of 5.2 Ghz for P-cores and 3.7 Ghz for E-cores.
*[[Intel Core i7-14700HX]] with 20 cores (8 P-cores + 12 E-cores)/28 threads, 33 MB cache and max frequency of 5.5 Ghz for P-cores and 3.9 Ghz for E-cores.
*[[Intel Core i9-14900HX]] with 24 cores (8 P-cores + 16 E-cores)/32 threads, 36 MB cache and max frequency of 5.8 Ghz for P-cores and 4.1 Ghz for E-cores.

Lenovo supplies the processors with sufficient power and cooling for CPU-intensive tasks resulting in average to above-average performance compared to other laptops with the same processors. In CPU-only tasks, SKUs with the i7-14650HX and i9-14900HX perform as expected.<ref>{{cite web |url=https://www.tomshardware.com/laptops/gaming-laptops/lenovo-legion-pro-5i-gen-9-review |title=Lenovo Legion Pro 5i (Gen 9) Review |publisher=Tom's Hardware |accessdate=2024-07-19}}</ref><ref name="notebookcheck1">{{cite web |url=https://www.notebookcheck.net/Lenovo-Legion-Pro-5-16IRX9-laptop-review-Great-performance-but-a-little-heavy.817404.0.html |title=Lenovo Legion Pro 5 (16IRX9) laptop review: Great performance but a little heavy |publisher=Notebookcheck |accessdate=2024-07-19}}</ref> SKUs with i7-14700HX perform impressively well - scoring on average 9-10% higher than the average i7-14700HX and only 5% behind the average i9-14900HX.<ref name="notebookcheck2">{{cite web |url=https://www.notebookcheck.net/Lenovo-Legion-Pro-5i-laptop-review-Super-powerful-i7-14700HX-and-RTX-4060-performance.856842.0.html |title=Lenovo Legion Pro 5i laptop review: Super powerful i7-14700HX and RTX 4060 performance |publisher=Notebookcheck |accessdate=2024-07-19}}</ref> Performance sustainability is good but not perfect, with all processors losing about 5% performance in long stress tests.<ref name="notebookcheck1" />

Lenovo also supplies the processor with sufficient power in mixed CPU and GPU tasks like gaming leading to noticeably better performance than competitors with the same configurations. In particular, the SKU with i7-14700HX and RTX 4060 performs better than most other laptops with this configuration and is only 10% behind the Pro 5i with i9-14900HX and RTX 4070.<ref name="notebookcheck2" />

All SKUs lose a significant amount of CPU performance when running on the battery.<ref name="notebookcheck1" />

'''Benchmarks''':
*Cinebench R23:
** i7-14650HX: ~1950 pts (single-core), ~24000 pts (multi-core)<ref>{{cite web |url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NM5v0HPqOsM |title=Still Great!! - - 2024 Lenovo Legion Pro 5i ( Gen 9 ) |publisher=TechGuyBeau |accessdate=2024-07-19}}</ref>

=== [[Graphics Processing Unit (GPU)|Graphics]] ===
In addition to the integrated [[Intel UHD Graphics]], the Legion Pro 5i (2024) ships with the following discrete GPUs<ref name="specs" />: 
*[[Nvidia Geforce RTX 4050 Laptop]] GPU with 6 GB GDDR6 memory, 2370 Mhz boost clock, and 140 W [[Total Graphics Power|Total Graphics Power (TGP)]].
*[[Nvidia Geforce RTX 4060 Laptop]] GPU with 8 GB GDDR6 memory, 2370 Mhz boost clock, and 140 W TGP.
*[[Nvidia Geforce RTX 4070 Laptop]] GPU with 8 GB GDDR6 memory, 2175 Mhz boost clock, and 140 W TGP.
All configurations support [[Advanced Optimus]], [[DLSS]] 3.5, [[Dynamic Boost]] 2.0, [[VR ready]], and [[DirectX®]] 12 Ultimate technologies.

Lenovo supplies all GPUs configurations with 140 W of max power even though RTX 4050, 4060, and 4070 get diminishing returns beyond 100W.<ref name="rtxseries100w">{{cite web |url=https://www.notebookcheck.net/Nvidia-s-TDP-values-for-the-RTX-4050-4060-and-4070-Laptop-do-not-matter-for-gaming.698161.0.html |title=Nvidia's TDP values for the RTX 4050, 4060, and 4070 Laptop do not matter for gaming |publisher=Notebookcheck |accessdate=2024-07-19}}</ref> Nevertheless, in GPU-only benchmarks, SKUs with RTX 4060 perform slightly above average while SKUs with RTX 4070 perform impressively with results that are up to 15% faster than the average laptop RTX 4070.<ref name="notebookcheck2" /><ref name="notebookcheck1" />

In gaming, the RTX 4060 SKUs with the i7-14700HX perform significantly better than the competition with the same GPU and are just 10% behind the RTX 4070 Pro 5i with the better i9-14900HX CPU.<ref name="notebookcheck2" /> The RTX 4070 and i9-14900HX SKU also perform above average and outperform laptops with the same 140W RTX 4070 configured with a lower power processor.<ref name="notebookcheck1" />

All SKUs lose a significant amount of graphics performance when running on the battery.<ref name="notebookcheck1" />

'''Benchmarks'''<ref name="notebookcheck2" /><ref name="notebookcheck1" />:

=== [[Random Access Memory (RAM)|Memory]] ===
The [[Intel HM770]] chipset used in the Legion Pro 5i supports a maximum of 2 SO-DIMM sticks and the 14th Generation Intel HX processors support up to 192GB DDR5-5600Mhz memory.<ref name="hm770">{{cite web |url=https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/products/sku/232478/intel-hm770-chipset/specifications.html |title=Intel HM770 Chipset |publisher=Intel |accessdate=2024-07-19}}</ref><ref name="14900hx">{{cite web |url=https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/products/sku/235995/intel-core-i9-processor-14900hx-36m-cache-up-to-5-80-ghz/specifications.html |title=Intel Core i9-14900HX |publisher=Intel |accessdate=2024-07-19}}</ref><ref name="14700hx">{{cite web |url=https://ark.intel.com/content/www/us/en/ark/products/235997/intel-core-i7-processor-14700hx-33m-cache-up-to-5-50-ghz.html |title=Intel Core i7-14700HX |publisher=Intel |accessdate=2024-07-19}}</ref><ref name="14650hx">{{cite web |url=https://ark.intel.com/content/www/us/en/ark/products/235996/intel-core-i7-processor-14650hx-30m-cache-up-to-5-20-ghz.html |title=Intel Core i7-14650HX |publisher=Intel |accessdate=2024-07-19}}</ref><ref name="14500hx">{{cite web |url=https://ark.intel.com/content/www/us/en/ark/products/235999/intel-core-i5-processor-14500hx-24m-cache-up-to-4-90-ghz.html |title=Intel Core i5-14500HX |publisher=Intel |accessdate=2024-07-19}}</ref> The maximum available capacity currently DDR5 SO-DIMM is 48GB 5600 Mhz, therefore the Legion pro 5i can support maximum 96GB DDR5 5600 Mhz memory.<ref>{{cite web |url=https://www.tomshardware.com/news/48gb-sodimm-actualy-exists-where-to-buy |title=48GB SO-DIMMs Now Available |publisher=TomsHardware }}</ref>

Pre-configured SKUs come with either 16 GB (1 x 16) DDR5-5600 or 32 GB (2 x 16) DDR5-5600 Memory. These sticks perform identically even when paired with different CPUs.<ref name="notebookcheck2" />

'''Benchmarks'''<ref name="notebookcheck2" />:
* AIDA64 Memory Copy: ~79000 MB/s

=== [[Storage]] ===
The Legion Pro 5i can ship with 512 GB, 1 TB or 2 TB M.2 NVMe [[Solid State Drive|SSD]] depending on the seller. The OEM SSD only uses 1 slot in all configurations leaving the other slot open for upgrades.

Reviews of the i9 14900HX + RTX 4070 and i7 14700HX + RTX 4060 SKUs note that both came with the [[Samsung]] PM9A1 1 TB SSD which is an OEM version of the popular 980 Pro. This is a downgrade from the SK Hynix PC801 used in the [[Lenovo Legion Pro 5i (2023)|2023 model]] since the transfer rates drop to 50 % after some time in stress tests due to thermal throttling.<ref name="notebookcheck1" /><ref name="notebookcheck2" />

'''Benchmarks''':<ref name="notebookcheck2" />

* CrystalDiskMark 8:
** SEQ1M Q8T1 (Sequential 1MB blocks): ~6600 MB/s (read), ~4900 MB/s (write)
** RND4K Q1T1 (Random 4 KB blocks): ~90 MB/s (read), ~250 MB/s (write)

== Input Devices ==
=== [[Keyboard]] ===
The Legion Pro 5i comes with a standard keyboard layout with full size number pad and full size arrow keys. The Legion line is one of the few laptops still using a full size standard keyboard. The keyboard offers 1.5 mm travel and 0.2 mm pitch. The RGB backlight has two modes - single zone or quad zone. The refresh rate of the display can be changed using the Fn + R keys - three steps (60, 165, 240 Hz) on the higher-end 240hz display and only two (60, 165 Hz) on the lower-end 165hz display. The Fn + Q keys can be used to switch between the three performance modes - Quiet, Balanced and Performance.<ref name="notebookcheck1" /><ref name="notebookcheck2" />

The typing experience is identical to the [[Lenovo Legion Pro 5i (2023)|previous model]] with the only difference being the inclusion of the Co-Pilot key instead of the right Ctrl key. The deeper travel and stronger feedback result in a better typing experience than competitors like [[Razer Blade]] or [[Asus ROG Zephyrus]].<ref>{{cite web |url=https://www.notebookcheck.net/Lenovo-Legion-Pro-5-16IRX8-laptop-review-A-hefty-US-1600-for-the-GeForce-RTX-4060.712713.0.html |title=Lenovo Legion Pro 5 16IRX8 Review |publisher=NotebookCheck}}</ref>

=== [[Touchpad]] ===
The Legion Pro 5i comes with a Mylar plastic clickpad that measures {{convert|4.7|in|cm}} x {{convert|3|in|cm}}.<ref name="notebookcheck1" />

The touchpad is smaller than the ones in competitors like [[Razer Blade]] but is spacious enough for simple tasks. The clicking is shallow and lacks enough feedback.<ref name="notebookcheck1" />

=== [[Webcam]] ===
The Legion Pro 5i comes with a 720p or 1080p webcam with an electronic shutter and no IR options.<ref name="notebookcheck1" />

The webcam has poor color accuracy with a minimum [[Color Accuracy|DeltaE]] of 2.31 and a maximum DeltaE of 17.75.<ref name="notebookcheck1" />
=== [[Microphone]] ===
The Legion Pro 5i comes with a dual microphone array.<ref name="specs" />
