Customers are impressed with the Legion Tower 5i's performance, quiet operation, and excellent value. Many highlight the smooth graphics and high frame rates achievable, making it ideal for gaming. While some mention pre-installed software, the overall experience is overwhelmingly positive. The system's effective cooling is also frequently praised.
So far everything I've thrown at it has ran flawlessly. Haven't heard a sound from it. I play Squad, Squad 44, rs2, etc and this PC runs them so good with high FPS and high graphics. With these specs it should be able to handle any game. The lighting on it is pretty cool looking, and it is much smaller than my old PC which gives me a little more desk space. I thought windows 11 would suck but it's actually not bad. It's everything I wanted in a gaming PC so far & if that changes or something goes wrong I'll be sure to update this review.. if that's possible.

This PC runs all of the latest games well and mostly quiet. I say mostly quiet, because the RTX 4070 Super in my PC has a noticeable coil whine while gaming. Bloatware is not horrible but I did have to spend an hour or so to remove McAfee a couple of times before it finally uninstalled successfully (it comes preloaded). I love the design of this case and the form factor. It has a clean look in my opinion. There is an issue with the 32 GB of DDR5 memory that comes with the PC as it doesn’t run at the specified speed listed on the box and website (Best Buy and Lenovo). The bios recognizes that the DDR5 is capable of 5600 MHz but the motherboard’s bios will not let you select it as an option and it’s stuck on 4400 MHz. I reached out to Lenovo support and they sent me a troubleshooting guide via email. After following the guide, I responded back stating the issue wasn’t fixed and I’ve yet to hear back from them, it’s been over two weeks without a response. I purchased some Corsair 6000 MHz DDR5 memory from Best Buy and was able to get this memory to run at 5600 MHz directly after booting into the bios after the install. After hours of research I found out that this should be able to be fixed via a BIOS update but as of writing this, the most recent BIOS revision has yet to fix the issue. This is a known issue and has many other customers mentioning this exact issue on several threads on Lenovo’s own forums. On a positive note, the latest bios update claims to have implemented a fix for the voltage issues on the processor (Intel i7 14700) in this PC. I’ve been playing a bunch of games and have had stable and consistent performance in Call of Duty MW3, Fortnite, Alan Wake 2, Cyberpunk 2077, Red Dead Redemption 2, and Black Myth: Wukong. In Black Myth: Wukong, I’m averaging between 90 - 100 FPS @ 4K (DLSS Performance with Frame Generation. Other than having to spend an additional $120 on memory (in order to get the RAM to function at the advertised frequency), I’m mostly satisfied with the purchase. The PC is a solid performer and has solid cable management but I imagine most customers buying a prebuilt wouldn’t load into the BIOS or Windows task manager to check the speed of their memory. I hope Lenovo gets this issue corrected via a BIOS update in the near future. To be honest, the case design and the RAM speed was the main reason I chose this over the less expensive HP with similar specs. I’ve always had good luck with Lenovo products in the past but this is the first time I’ve ever attempted to use their support services. Wish me luck.

I got this on sale for $1500 and glad I bought it when I did. This thing is fast and is packed with options. Has all the right combination of components that play nice together. Gaming and video editing, zero lags or issues. I'm very impressed with it's performance. It runs very cool and is silent. Even when the fans are at high speed, barely hear this computer. I love it. The power consumption btw is extremely low at idle. 55 watts is all it is pulling, and thats with the LED lights on. Incredible
