Well Legion has finally done it after all these years and attempts the 7th Gen Legion 5 PRO RYZEN 7 6800H knocks it out of the park !! I was never a FAN of Lenovo Laptops until the released their Legion Gaming side of things that is. Let me break it down. PROS: -Very FAST CPU up to 4.9 gtz OC (overclocked) 4.7 gtz FC (factory controlled) -Amazing True strike keyboard with 1.4 mm key travel - Epic very vibrant 500 nits QHD + 165 htz refresh 2560X1600 3ms response time. -Excellent epic build quality all metal chassis - Lenovo Vantage software is a true treat indeed. Love the custom easy fan switch profiles and the keyboard RGB effects/choices. Also absolutely love the AMD MUQ switch GPU EASY restart with discreet graphics modes and 3 different HYBRID MODE options to choose from. -3050 ti Nvidia Card usually this would be a CON but this Legion 5 PRO has max wattage of 140 watts OC being pumped into this tiny chassis which is amazing to say the least. - Heat max temps I have seen so far were 63 degrees Celsius which again is def something to ride home about. I upgraded to 32GB Fury Kingston RAM DDR5 4800MHz SODIMM XMP ready and worked like a charm right out of the box - Upgradability from SSD removal to Wifi card change to Upgraded RAM this laptop is super simple to upgrade and no BIOS reset or battery removal was required. Highy recommend that RAM to be installed mentioned above. Cons- Battery Life not the greatest but not terrible either just simply average but better than most of the competition. - Not very portable but who cares still a smaller chassis than most gaming inch laptops out there. I don't really have any other cons I have had 0 issues using this laptop when it comes to Gaming and on the go quick photo video editing. I am now a firm believer about Lenovo Legion Laptops and honestly due to how superior this $1400 machine is I will be a Legion customer for some time. Oh forgot to add, Playing Thymesia under HIGH settings with AMD True Fx Resolution turned on seeing minimum 47 FPS to 82 FPS with overdrive enabled in the Vantage Lenovo software and FANS set to overdrive as well fn Q (RED POWER BUTTON) and finally discreet GPU mode turned on plugged into power source. Hope this small review helps with your purchase decision to get this amazing gaming little powerhouse

This laptop is absolutely incredible. The aesthetic of it as well as the performance make it something worth acquiring for work/school/fun as you can do it all! Buying open box for nearly half the price was the best thing i could have done, only a bit of residue which came off easily with some alcohol and elbow grease. Retail I would likely choose another laptop in the same price point with better specs and hardware as you are paying for the brand with Legion as well. Solid choice and I have to hand it to Best Buy for having some amazing deals on lightly used and like new electronics!

The laptop itself is fantastic, especially for the price which I got it for ($788 in openbox). It has a stunning 2560x1600 16:10 display, and ample storage and compute power for my use case. I've been using it for the past 3 weeks, and the battery life is pretty good, I'm getting around 5-6 hours for most of the days. However, it didn't have a charger with it, since I bought it in openbox.

I gotta be honest, this Laptop is definitely one of the best things I’ve ever bought. It’s responsive and reliable. It’s good with some certain games and I plan to use this for education. The Battery life on this, is somewhat better compared to some laptops but it’s compatibility to multiple platforms is amazing. It’s a bit heavy.

I’ve been on the hunt for a gaming laptop so that I can game/stream on the go and knock out work for my Cybersecurity program. I came acroos this open-box deal for a Legion 5 Pro for around $780 (with tax) and decided to make the dive. It was categorized as being in “Satisfactory” condition, so I was worried the laptop wqs going to be pretty janky. To my surprise there was only minor (and barely noticeable) cosmetic damage on the sides and vents of the laptop. The ports work all work well, the camera is operational, and the screen is in perfect condition. I’ve had it for about 2 weeks now and I absolutely love it! Its a nice size/not too heavy, great typing experience, has all the ports I need, and it has great screen resolution. The downside is that I think I know why it had a “Satisfactory” rating; it has the reoccuring issue where it will just randomly go to a black screen, the power button will pulse, and then the fans start to roar like a jet. Finally it will just shut down. This is apparently a common issue with the Legion laptops in particular. I havent had a chance to do a power drain or downgrade from Win 11 to 10, but the issue also doesnt present consistently. I love the laptop so much that im willing to try different methods to get it to work before I throw in the towel and send it back. If you have the tech savvy or know someone who is tech savvy to troubleshoot hardware and software issues, I recommend taking the gamble on open-box listings. If not, you’re better off buying new to avoid the hassle.
