Lenovo’s leaked Copilot+ Legion laptops sound less like a pure power grab and more like an attempt to make life easier with gaming laptops. According to a Windows Latest report, Lenovo is preparing new Legion 7a and Legion 5a models for unveiling at CES 2026, based on unannounced AMD Ryzen AI 400 series processors and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 50 series laptop GPUs.
The idea is that Lenovo AI Engine+ works with Legion Space to adjust performance, fan speed and efficiency in real time. As described in the leak, the idea is that you would spend less time customizing profiles if you switch between gaming, streaming, and working as a developer.
However, this is still unofficial. The same report cites a January CES announcement in Las Vegas claiming availability should begin in April 2026, plus a wide price range of $1,299 to $1,999 depending on the model.
The AI tuning proof of the leak
The Legion 7a is listed with up to a Ryzen AI 9 HX 470 (and a Ryzen AI 9 465 option), as well as up to an RTX 5060 laptop GPU with 8GB of GDDR7. The GPU is described as 115W with a 15W boost, along with a claimed 572 AI TOPS score.
Lenovo’s integrated AI chips are also shown here: LA1 plus LA4 on the Legion 7a and LA1 plus LA3 on the Legion 5a. The leak also admits an important unknown: It’s not clear whether Windows 11’s AI experiences can actually leverage the RTX 5060’s AI throughput in the way the marketing suggests.
OLED, thin build and the $500 gap
Lenovo is reportedly aiming for thinner and lighter chassis while maintaining premium screens. The Legion 7a is described as having a 16-inch 16:10 PureSight (2560 x 1600) OLED panel running up to 240Hz with VRR and 100% DCI-P3 color. The Legion 5a also retains OLED, but foregoes a 15.3-inch 165Hz panel, providing an easy way to separate the layers.
The price does the rest. According to the leak, the Legion 7a starts at $1,999, while the Legion 5a (Ryzen AI 400 series) starts at $1,499. There’s also a cheaper Legion 5a with a Ryzen 7 250 for $1,299 and an Intel-based Legion 5i for $1,549.
What to see at CES 2026
When Lenovo actually announces these, the most important demonstration will be whether AI Engine+ makes a real difference under load. It has to react quickly, avoid wild fan fluctuations and keep performance stable even during long gaming sessions.
Those shopping in early 2026 should consider these details as a checklist until Lenovo confirms pricing, configurations, and supported Copilot+ features on day one.
