Lenovo in Brief — IJP OLED, AMD Strix Halo and RAMageddon

Lenovo in brief - IJP OLED, AMD Strix Halo and RAMageddon

The past week brought an avalanche of Lenovo announcements and launches - from the groundbreaking IJP OLED display in the Legion R9000P, through laptops with the latest AMD Ryzen AI Max+ chips, to the controversy around Chinese YMTC drives in a ThinkBook and pessimistic forecasts for RAM prices. We have gathered all the most important news from recent days for you, so that you don't miss anything. Enjoy the read! If prices really do go up, now may be a good time for a memory upgrade before upgrading starts to cost more than it does today.

Legion R9000P - the world's first laptop with an IJP OLED display

Legion R9000P - the world's first laptop with an IJP OLED display

Lenovo has announced a real breakthrough in the world of gaming laptop displays. The Legion R9000P is the world's first notebook equipped with an OLED panel produced using inkjet printing (Inkjet Printed OLED, IJP OLED for short). The technology comes from the Chinese manufacturer TCL CSOT and represents a completely different approach to producing organic panels than the standard used so far.

Until now, almost all OLED screens were made using vacuum thermal evaporation (VTE). Inkjet printing, on the other hand, allows organic materials to be applied precisely without the need to create an expensive vacuum, which lowers production costs, reduces material waste and decreases the number of defective panels. TCL CSOT has been working on this technology since at least 2024, and its commercialisation in the Legion R9000P is the first such significant test under market conditions.

The 16-inch panel in the R9000P offers a 240 Hz refresh rate and covers over 99% of the DCI-P3 colour space - excellent parameters for both gamers and content creators. Importantly, IJP OLED panels offer higher brightness than typical OLEDs made with VTE technology, which is particularly important when working in changing lighting conditions. This has been one of the biggest weaknesses of OLEDs in laptops for years.

The laptop has already gone on sale in China at a starting price of around 1300 dollars. Lenovo has not yet revealed the full specifications or the date of the global launch. If IJP OLED technology becomes widespread in the industry, it could significantly reduce the cost of OLED screens across the whole class of gaming laptops and monitors, which would be exceptionally good news for consumers.

Yoga Pro 15 and Legion R9000X with AMD Ryzen AI Max+ - Strix Halo goes mainstream

Yoga Pro 15 and Legion R9000X with AMD Ryzen AI Max+

Besides the display revolution, Lenovo also made a surprise on the processor front. The manufacturer officially presented two new laptop models: the Yoga Pro 15 and the Legion R9000X, equipped with AMD Ryzen AI Max+ 392 and Ryzen AI Max+ 388 chips. These are updated units from the Strix Halo family, which are an evolution of the Ryzen AI Max 300 processors presented in early 2025.

The new SKUs (numbers 388 and 392) have long been awaited by the market - since the launch of the Strix Halo architecture, relatively few laptops with these chips have appeared, even though they generated great interest among enthusiasts and professionals. Lenovo decided to fill this gap by reaching for AMD's flagship units for two different product lines: professional (Yoga) and gaming (Legion).

The Yoga Pro 15 is an offer for users looking for a powerful mobile workstation for creative and engineering work. The Legion R9000X, in turn, targets gamers and streamers who require both high CPU power and top graphics performance. Both devices sit in the highest segment of Lenovo's range, which means the prices will be correspondingly high - the manufacturer has not yet given specific amounts.

Legion 7a with RTX 5070 12 GB and Legion 5 with RTX 5060 - a strong gaming offer

Legion 7a with RTX 5070 12 GB and Legion 5 with RTX 5060

Lenovo has enriched the Legion 7a gaming laptop with a new hardware configuration. Until now, this model was available only with the RTX 5060 graphics card, but now a variant with the RTX 5070 equipped with 12 GB of VRAM has appeared on sale. The change is a direct result of Nvidia's decision to recently split the RTX 5070 SKU into two variants - with 8 GB and 12 GB of memory.

The new Legion 7a configuration available at Best Buy costs 3375 dollars. In the set with the RTX 5070 12 GB, the user gets a Ryzen AI 9 HX 470 processor, 32 GB of LPDDR5X-8000 memory, a 1 TB PCIe 4.0 SSD and a 2560 √ó 1600 pixel OLED screen with a 240 Hz refresh rate. The specification is therefore comprehensive and premium, which explains the high price - especially considering that Nvidia had announced devices with the RTX 5070 starting from 1299 dollars.

It is also worth mentioning the review of the Legion 5 15AGP11 published by NotebookCheck. This compact gaming laptop is equipped with 32 GB of RAM and an Nvidia RTX 5060 card, and its OLED screen provides excellent colour and contrast reproduction. The Legion 5 targets gamers looking for good value for money, without giving up premium components. The combination of an AMD Ryzen processor with Nvidia GeForce graphics performs exemplarily in tests. If you are looking for parts for an older Lenovo gaming laptop, e.g. for a Legion 5 from previous generations, take a look at our offer.

Yoga Slim 7 with ARM and Slim 7i - Lenovo ultrabooks under the reviewers' magnifying glass

Last week, reviewers took a closer look at two Lenovo ultrabooks. NotebookCheck published a detailed review of the Yoga Slim 7 14Q8Y11 powered by the Snapdragon X2E processor - the next generation of Qualcomm chips for Windows on the ARM architecture. The results are promising: the Snapdragon X2E showed significantly better performance than its predecessors from the X1E series, and in benchmark tests it even outperformed the Intel Panther Lake Core X9.

This is important information for those following the development of the Windows ARM platform. The previous generation of Snapdragon X met with criticism from users and the media - it was accused of application compatibility problems and a lack of performance. The Yoga Slim 7 14Q8Y11 shows that Qualcomm has learned its lesson and delivered a product that genuinely competes with x86 solutions.

Meanwhile, Spidersweb tested the Lenovo Yoga Slim 7i Gen 9 - a model positioned as a "MacBook killer" at a price of around 3000 PLN. The review analyses how the current generation copes with everyday tasks and demanding applications, and also how it compares with the previous version and direct competition. The Yoga Slim 7i Gen 9 hits a very specific niche: buyers who want premium build quality and battery life, but without overpaying for the Apple logo. If you own an older model from this line, e.g. a previous-generation Yoga Slim 7, you will find original spare parts in our shop.

Legion C700 and FIFA AI Pro - Lenovo in the world of cloud and sport

Legion C700 - a handheld for game streaming

Lenovo surprised the market by revealing details about the Legion C700 - a gaming handheld completely different from the Legion Go. The device was created in cooperation with the Chinese giant Tencent and was designed for streaming games from the cloud rather than running them locally. The Tencent START platform will provide access to an extensive library of titles run on servers.

The Legion C700 does not compete in computing power with Windows-based consoles - its role is to provide convenient access to cloud games with the lowest possible latency. The key parameter is the 120 Hz refresh rate screen, which is meant to guarantee smooth gameplay during streaming. The device is equipped with precise controllers, and its launch is planned for August. It is an interesting addition to the Legion ecosystem, aimed at gamers who prefer a subscription model of access to games.

In the same week, Lenovo also boasted of success in a completely different field. During the ongoing FIFA World Cup 2026, all 48 teams taking part in the tournament use the FIFA AI Pro platform - an analytical tool based on Lenovo's artificial intelligence technology. The system enables in-depth analysis of player performance and rivals' strategies, and provides real-time insights from the pitch, offering significant support for coaching staff at the highest level.

ThinkBook with a YMTC drive and "RAMageddon" - the components market under AI pressure

RAMageddon - the memory market under AI pressure

One of the most discussed pieces of news this week concerns the supply chain rather than new models. The Lenovo ThinkBook 14 G9 IPL sold in the USA is equipped with an M.2 NVMe PCIe 4.0 SSD (512 GB, M.2 2242 format) from the Chinese company YMTC - a NAND memory manufacturer that has been on the US Department of Commerce restriction list since 2022. This is the first documented case of a laptop from a major manufacturer sold on the American market with memory from this brand.

Lenovo, as a company headquartered in China, does not face formal barriers when importing YMTC components, unlike American manufacturers. Rising prices from traditional NAND suppliers (Samsung, SK Hynix, Kioxia, Micron, SanDisk), driven by the AI boom, have opened the door to Chinese alternatives. NotebookCheck, which carried out the first test of a YMTC laptop SSD, rated its performance as below average for an office laptop - however, for a typical user the difference in everyday use should not be noticeable. The ThinkBook 14 G9 IPL laptop costs 1124.25 dollars.

The problem of high memory prices, however, goes far beyond individual models. At the International Supercomputing Conference 2026, Lenovo presented a pessimistic forecast, calling the current situation "RAMageddon". The company warns that the low memory prices of early 2025 will not return - demand from AI infrastructure absorbs, and will keep absorbing, every new production capacity appearing on the market, even after SK Hynix's planned tripling of production. Lenovo published a so-called "5-point RAMageddon survival guide" for business customers and data centre operators, signalling that the economic fundamentals of the memory industry have changed permanently.
