Lenovo Legion 9 18IAX10
CONSIDER
    Great choice if these matter:
    • Anyone looking for one machine instead of a desktop
    • Creators working with large data sets
    • Gaming at the highest settings
    Watch out for:
    • 3.5 kg and an 18-inch body rule out portability
    • The 4000 MT/s memory speed is modest against that capacity

    • The 4000 MT/s memory speed is modest against that capacity
    The risk level is computed from the release date and verified weaknesses. The confidence score appears only once enough owner reports exist.
    This box relies only on verified specs, the release date and editorial assessment; owner reports join them as they come in. We do not predict prices.

    Local AI

    Which models run on this card?

    Whether a model runs on your machine is decided first by the graphics card's memory: the model file has to fit in VRAM with room left for the context window and the runtime. The states below are computed from memory alone; software support (CUDA, ROCm, Vulkan) is a separate matter.

    Largest model that runs comfortably: gpt-oss-20b

    • Qwen3.5 0.8B1 GB packageComfortable
    • Qwen3.5 2B2.7 GB packageComfortable
    • Qwen3.5 4B3.4 GB packageComfortable
    • Qwen3.5 9B6.6 GB packageComfortable
    • gpt-oss-20b14 GB package Β· the maker states a 16 GB memory minimumComfortable
    • Qwen3.5 27B17 GB packageRuns
    • Qwen3.5 35B24 GB packageLimited
    • gpt-oss-120b65 GB package Β· the maker states a 80 GB memory minimumNot suitable
    • Qwen3.5 122B81 GB packageNot suitable
    • ComfortableRoom for the model file and a long context
    • RunsFits; the context window may need to stay short
    • LimitedNot enough memory; part of the model spills to system RAM and runs slowly
    • Not suitableNot a GPU-run model on this card

    Rule: 1.5Γ— the requirement in memory is Comfortable, 1.15Γ— Runs, 0.6Γ— Limited; the requirement is the default package size, or the maker's stated minimum where there is one (a stated minimum counts as fitting at exactly that figure). Package sizes are the Ollama library's, minimums the maker's own statement; read on 2026-09-11. Sources: ollama.com/library/qwen3.5, ollama.com/library/gpt-oss, openai.com/index/introducing-gpt-oss
