In our reviews of previous Lenovo Legion laptops, we've noted that they deliver a lot of bang for the buck, with devices like the Legion 5i being a great example . Now, it looks like Lenovo is planning to launch an update to its Legion gaming laptop series at CES in January 2026. Recent leaks from Windows Latest indicate that Lenovo is planning on launching AMD-powered Legion 5a and Legion 7a laptops, all of which will feature updated AMD Ryzen AI 400-series APUs and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5060 Laptop GPUs. Prior leaks about the AMD Ryzen 400 APUs revealed that the next-gen APUs will pack both Zen 5 and RDNA 3.5 tech, with the Ryzen 9 APUs featuring up to 12 cores, while the leaked Ryzen 7 variants both packed 8 cores.

The leak confirms Legion 7a laptops equipped with the AMD Ryzen AI 9 HX 470 and Ryzen AI 9 465 APUs, while the 5a laptops will come with either the Ryzen AI 9 465 or Ryzen 7 250. The Legion 7a and the Ryzen 400-series Legion 5a will lead the line-up with 16-inch, 2,560 × 1,600, 16:10 OLED displays topping out at 240 Hz (165 Hz for the Legion 5a) and 500 nits brightness. It seems as though only the Lenovo Legion 7a will feature NVIDIA G-SYNC, while the entire line-up will deliver 100% DCI-P3 coverage. All except for the Ryzen 7-powered Legion 5a will feature X-Rite calibration from the factory. The top-end Legion 7a will come with up to 64 GB of LPDDR5x RAM at 8533 MT/s, while the lower-end Legion laptops will have slower DDR5-5600 RAM and top out at 32 GB. All three laptops will seemingly also feature keyboards with 24-zone RGB and swappable keycaps, which is interesting for those interested in longevity and repairability.
