| The Lenovo Legion Y9000P Diablo IV gaming laptop has been launched in China with up to RTX 5080 Laptop GPU. |
For gamers who believe that true performance should come with a side of sinister style, Lenovo has just answered the call. The tech giant has unveiled a special edition of its flagship gaming laptop, the Lenovo Legion Y9000P Diablo IV, a machine that marries cutting-edge hardware with the dark, gothic aesthetic of Blizzard’s blockbuster action RPG.
This China-exclusive model is, in every meaningful way, the regional counterpart to the global Legion Pro 7i (Gen 10). But beyond its formidable specs, it’s wrapped in a design language that will have Sanctuary’s devotees itching to click "add to cart."
A Sanctuary of Power Under the Hood
Don’t let the demonic branding fool you—the real magic here is pure silicon sorcery. At its heart lies the formidable Intel Core Ultra 9 275HX processor. Early benchmarks reveal this chip doesn’t just compete; it dominates. It handily outpaces other high-end Intel offerings in multi-core tasks and goes toe-to-toe with AMD's Ryzen 9 9955HX, making it one of the most powerful mobile CPUs available for gaming and creative workloads.
The graphical power, however, is where the gates of Hell truly swing open. Users can choose between two next-generation NVIDIA GPUs:
- The flagship NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5080 Laptop GPU (175W, 16GB GDDR7)
- The formidable NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 Ti Laptop GPU (140W, 12GB GDDR7)
Early hands-on impressions, like those from a recent test of the Legion Pro 7i with the RTX 5080, have been nothing short of awe-struck. The laptop delivers desktop-rivaling frame rates, effortlessly chewing through the most demanding games at high settings. Of course, this hellfire performance isn’t without its trade-offs: expect a substantial chassis, significant fan noise under load, and the warm temperatures that come with such concentrated power. For the performance purist, it's a small price to pay for glory.

A Display and Price Tag Fit for a High Lord
Complementing this raw power is a spectacular viewing portal. The laptop features a 16-inch, 2560 x 1600 OLED display with a blistering 240Hz refresh rate. This combination promises buttery-smooth gameplay with the inky blacks and vibrant contrast that only OLED can deliver, making every shadowy dungeon and spell effect pop. The system is rounded out with 32GB of RAM and a 1TB SSD for ample storage and multitasking headroom.
As reported by industry watchdogs like Videocardz, the power and prestige come at a cost befitting its high-end components. The starting price in China is as imposing as the laptop itself:
- RTX 5070 Ti model: Starts at 16,999 Yuan (approximately $2,410)
- RTX 5080 model: Starts at 21,999 Yuan (approximately $3,118)
Will It Launch Globally?
The burning question for international fans is whether this Diablo-skinned beast will escape its Chinese confines. As of now, Lenovo has not announced plans for a global release of the Diablo IV edition. However, the core hardware is very much available worldwide.
Gamers outside China can experience near-identical performance with the standard Lenovo Legion Pro 7i (Gen 10), which packs the same Core Ultra 9 275HX and RTX 5080 GPU. You can find the global model available for purchase on Amazon, currently listed at around $2,715.
In the end, the Lenovo Legion Y9000P Diablo IV is more than a laptop; it's a statement. It’s for the gamer who wants their hardware to reflect their in-game ambition—uncompromising, powerful, and dressed for a battle that goes beyond the screen. Whether the special edition makes it West or not, the demonic spirit of peak performance lives on in the Legion Pro 7i.
