 Hello, this is Nick from LaptopMedia, and today we will show you how to open the 16-inch Lenovo Legion 9i Gen 8. If you want to have a sneak peek at the powerful internals, you have to undo eight Phillips head screws. After that, you can pop the bottom panel with a thin prying tool starting from the back. You don't have to pry the front side, raise the plate carefully until you hear a slight click sound and you can lift it away from the chassis.

The battery is a big 99.99Wh unit. To remove it, pull out the connector before undoing the six Phillips head screws that are keeping the model in place. The capacity is enough for 4 hours and 21 minutes of either web browsing or video playback. The SSD section is protected by a metal plate. There are three thermal pads on the inside of the shroud, two for the NVMe's and one for the Wi-Fi card. The two M.2 slots are compatible with Gen 4 SSDs. Rade 0 is also supported. As the motherboard is inverted, the two RAM slots are placed on the other side of the board. They fit up to 32GB of DDR5, 6400MHz RAM or 64GB of DDR5, 5600MHz RAM in dual channel mode. Part of the Hybrid Legion cold front cooling system is visible. It comprises liquid and air cooling. We can see three fans and five heat sinks. The rest is hidden on the other side of the main board. Interestingly, the liquid cooling isn't always active. It runs over the GPU VRAM and it kicks in when the video card reaches 84 degrees. In our case, this didn't happen because the maximum reach temperature during testing is 78 degrees.
