Lenovo's next Legion 5i refresh is taking shape, and the spec sheet for the 15IAX11 suggests the company is leaning harder into upgradeable storage and high-refresh OLED for its mainstream gaming line. Every confirmed SKU ships with a 15.3-inch OLED panel pushing 2,560 x 1,600 pixels at a 165 Hz refresh rate, with HDR brightness peaking at 1,000 nits.
Internally, the chassis carries an 80 Wh battery paired with Lenovo's 245 W Slim Tip charger, sticking with the proprietary high-wattage connector rather than moving fully to USB-C PD. Memory is handled by DDR5-5600 SODIMMs, which is good news for anyone planning to bump capacity later. Storage is the more interesting wrinkle: the board exposes both an M.2 2242 PCIe 5.0 slot and a longer M.2 2280 PCIe 4.0 slot, an unusual pairing that lets owners drop in one of the new generation of Gen 5 SSDs without losing the bulk capacity slot.
The physical footprint comes in at 344 x 244.5 x 18.95 to 19.95 mm (13.5 x 9.6 x 0.75 to 0.79 inches) with a weight of 1.93 kg (4.3 lbs), keeping it within reach of thinner 15-inch ultraportables despite the discrete-GPU class hardware. The current Gen 10 Legion 5i it presumably replaces ships with Intel's Core Ultra 7 255HX or Ultra 9 275HX paired with NVIDIA RTX 5060 or RTX 5070 mobile silicon, so the 15IAX11 is expected to land on a similar or refreshed combination.
Lenovo has not published pricing or a release window yet, and no retailer listings have appeared. For Linux users eyeing the platform, the Arrow Lake-HX and Blackwell mobile combo found in the outgoing generation already works on recent kernels with NVIDIA's open GPU modules, so a kernel-side runway should be in place by the time the 15IAX11 hits shelves.
