Balance of Performance for Work and Gaming
Dhir Posted
Recently got the Legion 5i and honestly, it’s been a great buy. Performance is solid—handles multitasking, heavy software, and gaming without breaking a sweat. Everything feels smooth and responsive, even under load. The build quality surprised me in a good way. It feels sturdy and well-made, not plasticky like some gaming laptops. The keyboard is comfortable for long sessions, and the screen looks sharp with good brightness and colors. Thermals are well managed. The fans do ramp up during intense use, but that’s expected, and the laptop doesn’t get uncomfortably hot. I also appreciate the clean, understated design—it doesn’t scream “gaming laptop,” which is a plus for work or everyday use. Battery life is decent for a performance laptop, and setup was straightforward right out of the box. Overall, great balance of performance, build quality, and value. Would definitely recommend the Legion 5i to anyone looking for a powerful and reliable laptop.

Much needed upgrade as an aerospace student
OmarV Posted
This laptop has been a huge upgrade for my aerospace engineering work. It handles MATLAB, ANSYS, and CAD software effortlessly while staying cool and responsive. The display is sharp, colors are vibrant, and the overall build feels premium. Battery life is solid for classes and study sessions, and the performance boost is noticeable compared to my older system. Definitely recommend it for any engineering or STEM student who needs reliable power on the go.

Needs more RAM
PatrickH Posted
Solid all around laptop but the 16 MB RAM finds me lacking the ability to multitask smoothly or play more demanding games. This unit has an amazing screen with deep vibrant colors.

Hi PatrickH-
Thank you for choosing Lenovo and sharing your experience with us. While we are thrilled to hear that you are enjoying the Legion 5i, we also are disappointed to hear that we have not completely satisfied your expectations. We would love to offer you a few suggestions to help you improve your experience with the laptop.
Firstly, the Legion 5i allows you to change the computer’s thermal mode. This will allow your device to cycle between higher performance, quiet, or automatically adjust based on your needs. To start, launch the Legion Space app, Under the CPU and GPU Performance gauges you will find the option to toggle performance profiles. We suggest using Performance Mode which will increase responsiveness under the most demanding workflows. You can also toggle thermal modes simply with the Fn+Q hotkey.
The Legion 5i also includes the option of controlling the “GPU Working Mode”. You can find this within Legion Space, just below the Thermal Profile modes from the previous step. This allows your device to switch between the integrated GPU and discrete GPU. By switching modes, you can enhance battery life through the Hybrid-iGPU Only Mode which will lower the power draw of the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5050 graphics card or enhance display performance with dGPU Mode. We recommend using dGPU Mode to enhance your performance when playing your more demanding games.
Finally, the Legion 5i also includes the ability for users to upgrade their RAM. The Legion 5i is currently tested to provide up to 32GB DDR5-5600MHz. If you need any assistance with selecting compatible RAM or would like more details on your options, please reach out to Lenovo Support here: 1-855-253-6686 and one of our dedicated representatives would be happy to assist you.

Partially baked product
ManinderW Posted
Except battery life which is 2 hours in quiet mode or low performance and fans which you can hear even with headphones on or from older away, it does not disappoint. OLED screen and form factor is good. Light weight. Turbo fans are really noisy and always running when set to performance mode.

Hi,
Thanks for choosing Lenovo and for sharing your feedback with us!
Regarding your note on battery life – as you may know there are lots of variables that contribute to battery and in gaming laptops that can increase even more due to their high-powered processors and graphics cards. If you want to squeeze out more battery life and are completing non-intensive graphics tasks, you can utilize the MUX switch built into this model to turn off the dedicated GPU to greatly decrease power draw. This can be done in the Lenovo Vantage app > top right box > GPU working mode, then choosing your preferred method. Users can also take advantage of the keyboard shortcut, Fn + Q to toggle thermal modes and easily switch between prioritizing battery life or power, or even the best of both words, along with custom settings configurable in Lenovo Vantage. You could also press the Fn + R key combo to toggle to a lower refresh rate for even greater power conservation.

This laptop checks all the boxes. The OLED screen is clear as a bell. The laptop is lightweight to carry in a portfolio bag. But strong and durable. The processor keeps up with my fast typing (ha!). Doesnt get hot. Its great.

Perfect school/everyday use laptop!
Naomi Posted
Nice laptop size and not too heavy. It is perfect for school work and casual gaming. The keyboard backlight is charming and lets you set it up any way you like it. The battery drains faster than I expected. However, one positive aspect is that it is not too noisy when used for light tasks. Overall 8.5/10

Good choice for the price.
AdolfoG Posted
This computer is a pretty good choice for the price, it runs fast and can handle basically any program. The specs are perfect for anyone who wants to get some work done from home. The oled display is also a plus and looks amazing.

Amazing item, terrible website experience
user964081 Posted
The product itself is amazing. The experience of trying to order it online was not. Originally I tried to order a used one that I could pick up in store and had already paid and had my money removed from my account when they told me that they no longer had it available. Had to buy it new and get it shipped.

Amazing yet lacks
IMAADT Posted
love the product the specs are perfect, i thought it would be good for streaming but it is lacking in that department. Solo games are amazing, multiplayer games can be a bit lackluster at times so i gotta go to 1080p but mainly runs super smooth. It does overheat at times evene though i have it on a wooden tabletop, might need to invest in a fan cooler. Im glad this laptop has adaptable memory so in the future im definitly buying another ram stick in the future. Overall it has a great use for any type of laptop/desktop work. But lacks in temps, Ram, and streaming games.

It’s good
SriA Posted
It’s good… but almost, I didn’t use the product for two months and now it has been almost 2 months and I’ve been trying to contact Best Buy and I was on a call for more than 1 1/2 hour and they didn’t even help me with the whole support and I assume they were, but the speaker isn’t working on the device and literally accept the AI. I have no one to talk to in the AI isn’t even giving me the proper support that I need. If there is anything I can do to get proper support, I hope I get a response, but apart from that, I have a Speaker problem with the laptop. Even after running all the diagnostics and resetting the whole laptop, it isn’t working. And I genuinely don’t know what to do.

So far so good
Guap Posted
So far so good. Got it two weeks ago but have had a weird incident of the screen going back and locking me out. Afraid of it shutting down on me but computer runs games very well. I have had no issues running any games so far.
