    one of the most balanced laptops i've ever seen, i like the build and the cooling, to get better materials, you'd have to pay an extra 300 premium fee on other brands like asus zephyrus

    Exactly What I needed

    It's exactly what I needed. For general work and browsing online it doesn't overheat and the battery lasts for around 5-6 hours. I haven't used it longer than that so my estimate is biased. For gaming it doesn't last too long so my advice is to game with it plugged in. Once the gaming starts it does get hot but not burning hot. I've used it on my lap with a large book between the laptop and my skin and I've had no issues as the top or sides don't get warm. Would recommend you use a lap desk or actual desk for gaming. It's on the heavier side but I wouldn't expect less from a laptop that travels allover creation and it's used every day for hours so durability is important.

      Hi, thanks for choosing the Lenovo Legion 5 Gaming Laptop. We are pleased to hear the features and performance of the Legion 5 laptop are meeting your gaming and computing needs so well! In regards to the battery life I have some tips and tricks for you. , be sure Battery conservation Mode is turned off. This power management setting should only be used when the laptop is plugged in all the time. It will prolong overall battery life by only charging the battery to 60-percent of capacity. Here is a link to instructions for turning off Battery Conservation Mode: https://support.lenovo.com/us/en/solutions/ht103159. Also check what programs are running in the background on the computer. Be sure only the programs you want running in the background are. These programs will drain the battery. Here is a link to information about how to find out what programs are running in the background on your Windows 10 computer and how to manage them for better system performance: https://www.windowscentral.com/how-prevent-apps-running-background-windows-10 .

    Works Great, runs all of my programming at much higher graphics levels than the one it replaced. The keyboard gets a bit warm running those games, but not uncomfortably so. I will probably upgrade the RAM in the future to 16gb to get everything I can out of it. My third Lenovo in 15 years, so no issues with the company. Be sure to register it and get the free stuff!

      The Lenovo Legion 5 15 Gaming Laptop, model number 81Y6000DUS, moves where others fear to tread, combining industry-beating thermal efficiency that handles any configuration you can throw at it. Thermally tuned to perfection, the Legion Coldfront 2.0 system cools and dissipates heat via a dual-channel thermal mechanism of 67 liquid crystal polymer-coated fan blades and dedicated copper heat pipes. This will help you leave competition in the dust with the addition of Q Control 3.0, allowing you to manually select between Quiet, Balance and Performance thermal modes. And turn on the thrusters with Dual Burn support, pushing the CPU & GPU together for max performance in-game. Battle-ready performance, immersive experiences and seamless gameplay with Lenovo Vantage for Gaming. Choose performance mode for apps and games to calibrate automatically. Overclock CPUs and GPUs and use memory release to push frame rates to the limit. Downshift to Quiet Mode to save battery life or choose Balance Mode for normal use. Control it all in one place!

    Had to buy a few laptops during the pandemic. Purchased MSI, Alienware and the Lenovo Legion. There is no comparison, Lenovo blows those guys out of the water. Great Laptops. May not have the specs the other guys have but the build and quality should make you think twice. Have had to return both MSI and Alienware products to be serviced.junk. I just wished they could spruce up some of the components and the screen refresh rate. Don’t know about getting the slim version for kids. Bought three of these. The best.

    Bought this laptop for my nephew who is not so much into gaming as he is into creating music. However, most of the apps for creating music are resource intensive and require a powerfully spec'ed machine to handle. This laptop does not disappoint! It has everything needed to be able to work on it without slowing down or 'glitching' out, has super fast startup due to SSD drive and is an all around great laptop for both school and play. My nephew could not be happier and neither could I!

    Of course there are more powerful gaming laptops but haven’t seen anything else this powerful in it’s price range (note: I bought myself the Legion while it was on sale and I sure how long that will last). This thing does VR via Oculus Link very smoothly. BTW, the first unit I got started throwing a hardware disk error and stopped booting a couple within a couple of days. But I got it replaced immediately and without a problem thanks to BestBuy’s great customer service. The second unit has been working flawlessly for a few weeks. You know, the good old Weibull distribution at work.
