 Hello this is Nick from Laptop Media and today we will show you how to open the 16 inch Lenovo Legion 5i Gen 9. To open this gaming laptop you have to undo 10 Phillips head screws. After that, you can pry the panel with a thin plastic tool starting from one of the bottom two corners. Pop the front and then you can work your way around the sides and the back.

There are two thermal pads on the inside of the bottom plate for cooling the SSDs. The battery is an 80 watt hour model. If you want to take it out pull out the connector from the main board and undo the six Phillips head screws that fix the unit to the chassis. The capacity lasts for 8 hours and 20 minutes of web browsing or 6 hours and 40 minutes of video playback. To achieve that you have to select the Dynamic Graphics mode in the BIOS and the Optimus Display mode in the Nvidia Control Panel in order to use the IGPU. Then select the Balance Preset, turn on the Adaptive Refresh Rate function and select the IGPU only mode in the Lenovo Vantage app. Last but not least, apply the Balanced Preset in the Windows Power and Battery menu. Vantage wise you get two M.2 slots for 2280 Gen 4 SSDs. The slot on the right is also compatible with the shorter 2242 NVMEs. The RAM section is protected by a metal plate that has two cooling pads on the inside for cooling the memory modules. The two Sodims fit up to 32GB of DDR5, 4800 MHz or 5600 MHz RAM in dual channel mode. The cooling is massive. It comprises two fans and three heat pipes shared between the CPU and the GPU. The bottom pipe is extra thick. There are two smaller heat pipes that are solely dedicated to the video card. We can also spot two heat sinks and two huge metal plates.
