    Lenovo expands gaming lineup with new RTX 5070 laptops in China

    Lenovo has launched a couple of new gaming laptops in China that have the Nvidia RTX 5070 12GB laptop GPU. This is a refreshed variant, which was officially released in April 2026, and these Legion-branded laptops are among the first ones to feature it. The information is presented here with the pricing and specification details preserved, though note that some figures may vary by region.

    2026 Legion Y7000X and Y7000P details

    Among the notable ones are the 2026 Legion Y7000X and Y7000P. These two are powered by up to the Intel Core Ultra 7 251HX CPU, and among the two, the former has a lightweight and slim design. Lenovo notes that it weighs around 1.95kg and is 18.9mm thin. It also comes with a 15.3-inch OLED display with a 165Hz refresh rate, 2560×1600 pixels, and a peak brightness rating of 1,100 nits.

    Display and cooling tradeoffs

    The Legion Y7000P, on the other hand, has a 16-inch IPS screen with the same resolution but a 240Hz refresh rate and a peak brightness rating of 500 nits. The screen might be seen as a downgrade, but it comes with a better cooling setup. Both the gaming laptops feature 16GB of RAM, but the memory seems to be upgradeable (Corsair Vengeance 32GB DDR5-5600 kit curr. $365 on Amazon).

    Pricing and configurations

    There are multiple configurations available, but the Y7000X with the 12GB Nvidia RTX 5070 Laptop GPU starts at CNY 14,699, around $2,160. The recently released Legion 5i 15IAX11 for the global market has some matching specs, but its display maxes out with a 165Hz refresh rate.

    Y7000P and further models

    As for the Y7000P, its specs don’t appear to match any of the currently available Legion gaming laptops in the global market. Nonetheless, in China, the configuration with the RTX 5070 12GB Laptop GPU costs CNY 13,499, about $1,984.

    2026 Legion Y9000X and Y9000P

    Lenovo has also released the 2026 Legion Y9000X and Y9000P with up to 12GB Nvidia RTX 5070 Laptop GPU. Both feature a 2.5K 16-inch OLED display with a 240Hz refresh rate, and they pack the Intel Core Ultra 9 290HX Plus. Among the two, the Y9000X has a lighter build, but it has a 170W dual-fan cooler. The Y9000P, on the other hand, sports a 225W triple-fan cooling setup. The former with the 12GB RTX 5070 and 32GB of RAM costs CNY 18,999, around $2,792, while the latter with 16GB of RAM goes for CNY 17,499, about $2,572. Global launch details about these laptops are yet to emerge.

    Lenovo Legion 5i Gen 11 15IAX11 debut and specs

    Yesterday, we reported that Lenovo had finally acknowledged the existence of the Legion 5 15IAX11. Added to its PSREF website, the laptop first appeared on Amazon in late March with a pair of unreleased components. Not only are the Intel Core Ultra 7 251HX and Nvidia GeForce RTX 5070 12 GB now official, but Lenovo has started selling the Legion 5 15IAX11, too.

    Global availability and market positioning

    Currently we can find the Legion 5i Gen 11 15-inch (15IAX11) being sold across Australia, France, Germany, Hong Kong, Ireland, Malaysia, Singapore and the UK. Meanwhile, Lenovo states that the laptop is ‘coming soon’ in North America. Setting that aside, the new Legion 5i departs from the Legion 5i 15IRX10 that we reviewed last year in a few areas (curr. $1,619 on Amazon).

    Display, build, and dimensions details

    For instance, the 15IAX11 moves to a 15.3-inch display to match other Legion 5i Gen 11 models. A 2,560 x 1,600 OLED panel, the display also delivers a 165 Hz refresh rate with 100% DCI-P3 colour space coverage and 500 nits peak brightness, which rises to 1,100 nits when viewing HDR Content. This larger display sits within a 1.93 kg housing that measures 344 x 244.5 x 18.95-19.95 mm, compared to 1.9 kg and 344.9 x 255.35 x 19.95-21.54 mm for OLED versions of the Legion 5i 15IRX10.

    Battery and processor options

    Moreover, Lenovo equips the 15IAX11 with an 80 Wh battery and a choice between Core Ultra 7 251HX or Core Ultra 9 290HX Plus processors in most markets. A cheaper Core 7 245HX variant is available in Europe, though. Currently, these processors can be complemented by the GeForce RTX 5060 (8 GB) or the GeForce RTX 5070 (12 GB), as well as 16 GB or 32 GB of DDR5-5600 RAM.

    Pricing and regional configurations

    Pricing starts at AUD 3,279 in Australia, SGD 3,002 in Singapore, MYR 9,019 in Malaysia and HKD 23,361 in Hong Kong. Meanwhile, the same laptop has reached the UK for £1,636 and the Eurozone for €1,918-€2,209, but only when configured with the Core 7 245HX. For reference, doing so prevents one from configuring a GeForce RTX 5070 12 GB. Please see Lenovo’s website for more details.
