When it comes to gaming laptops, Lenovo’s Savior series must not be ignored. After all, many friends consider this brand first. However, Lenovo’s gaming notebook product line is a bit too rich, such as the mainstream Y9000P and the thin and light Y9000X. The latter has multiple configurations, but only the RTX3060 version is available for the first sale. But now this notebook has new configurations, and the RTX3050Ti version is currently on pre-sale. The graphics card has been lowered by one level, and the price is naturally more affordable, a full 800 yuan cheaper.

Lenovo Y9000X is a product for the thin and light market. It is more like a designer notebook promoted by some brands than a gaming notebook. After all, the appearance of a notebook is more low-key and has a stronger overall feel, and its performance is indeed slightly weaker than that of a gaming notebook. The core hardware is more suitable as a hardware acceleration platform for production tools. If such a combination plus a high-standard screen doesn't have the flavor of a gaming laptop, would it?

This newly configured model uses a 12th generation Core i5-12500H processor, paired with 16GB of memory and a 512GB SSD. The notebook’s graphics card is RTX3050Ti. This independent display releases 90W performance. However, the Y9000X series is not a full-blooded graphics card, so the actual performance difference may not be as obvious as the benchmark, especially when accelerating ADOBE or other tools. The price of this configuration is 7,499 yuan, which is currently the cheapest in the entire series.

Since it is a product of Lenovo's Savior series, although it is thin and light, there is no need to worry about the performance release. However, the memory upgrade capability of the notebook is a little limited. It has 8GB of onboard memory and is only equipped with 1 memory slot. The theoretical upper limit of memory is 40GB. Fortunately, there are two M.2 slots. In addition to the pre-installation, you can also add an SSD. The notebook screen is still of ultra-high specifications, with 2560×1600 resolution, 165Hz, high color gamut, HDR400, and color management. It is the first choice of designers.

As for the extended interface, the notebook adopts the 3A2C solution, which includes a Thunderbolt 4 interface. It is also equipped with card reader , which seems to be more suitable for content creation. Another selling point of this notebook is that it comes standard with a large 99.9Wh battery, which is almost the limit of a 16-inch notebook.

In summary, compared to gaming needs, this notebook is actually more suitable for design, editing, 3D and other fields. The graphics card can bring enough hardware acceleration, its performance is strong, and the screen specifications are also good. On the contrary, if you play games, the performance will be subject to certain limitations. In this field, it is quite good to be able to buy such a product for 7,499 yuan, but of course gamers may not think so.
