Great laptop. Beautiful screen, powerful, plays every game I like at high settings. Easy to install upgrades and no matter what I do this laptop won’t get warm, let alone hot like some other laptops I’ve used (ASUS g14 & 16) and a few others. After gaming for hours laptop is cool and quiet. Best gaming laptop I’ve owned and I’ve owned quite a few. Battery life not spectacular but it’s as expected.

I'm not quite satisfied with the laptop, the sound of the fan is very loud and at the same time, the battery life is very short after fully charged! Another thing is the laptop is very heavy and I think it's not worth the price!
Thank you for choosing Lenovo and for sharing your feedback with us. We are sorry to hear that you are dissatisfied with your Legion Pro 5's fan noise, power efficiency and weight. We strive to provide the best experience possible, so if you'd like to work with us, we’d like to work with you to address these points and improve your experience with your Legion Pro 5.
First, regarding fan noise, this Legion Pro 5 is designed to deliver unbridled performance so as the laptop's workload increases, so will the heat produced inside the laptop and while this Legion Pro 5 features other cooling technology, the fans ramp up to match the intensity to help protect the system and prevent any performance throttling due to overheating. Should you be using the laptop for everyday tasks, you can use the shortcut Fn + Q to switch thermal profiles to a quiet mode to ramp down the system and its fans for a moment of quiet.
Regarding your issue with battery – 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.
Also, we recommend ensuring you have the latest software by checking for updates, as this could address several points by helping to improve overall system performance and health. To do so, first, open the Settings app > Select the Windows update tab > Select the Check for updates button, apply all available updates. Next, open the Lenovo Vantage app > on the homepage, select the Check for updates button, following on-screen prompts to apply all available updates here as well.
We hope that the information shared helps provide some insight and understanding that may improve your sentiments on the system. We look forward to hearing more from you, so please don’t hesitate to leave us a note in the Q&A section should you have any further comments or need assistance, as your satisfaction is important to us.
Best regards, Lenovo

Absolutely love it!
Runs really smooth and is visually fantastic!
Good solid build quality, nothing feels cheap. Feels pretty light weight yet sturdy with great keyboard keys.
Everything is blended together very well, perfect design.
From the graphics and processing power to the feel and response and everything in between, couldn't recommend this laptop enough, well worth and then some!

I love most aspects of this it is a solid gaming laptop that i use for 3D modeling and architectural rendering. The battery life doesn't last as long as I would like but that is expected with any good gaming laptop

This computer is excellent. I enjoy the interface, keyboard, and the capability to handle everything I have thrown at it. This is a quality gaming laptop, especially for this price point.

Worth The Price

Laptop runs high performance games such as Marvel Rivals and Monster hunter Wilds with ease. Easily pushing over 200 FPS and not having any issues with performance. Absolutely worth the price and would recommend to someone looking for a new starter gaming laptop.

Overall really good. No performance issues on games like Minecraft but lately been having some ridiculous fps drops with 2k26. Not sure if it's something I've done myself or not, just thought it should be known.

So far the laptop has far exceeded my expectations. It runs smoothly and efficiently and the colored keyboard is a very nice touch. So far I haven't had any problems with the laptop and it is good for Baldur's Gate 3 at max performance!

This is a lot better than my pc at home. Can be loud but I don’t mind since it only happens when gaming.

Having used it for a few weeks I’ve definitely been impressed with the Legion, it has a really good build quality, and isn’t too heavy for the hardware in it. Runs really smooth on most games, even more demanding ones like Baldur’s gate 3 (especially loaded with mods!) The only thing I will point out is the fans can get quite loud under load sometimes, but to be frank that’s a non-issue for me as someone who normally uses headphones. I’d definitely recommend it for anyone who is looking for a portable gaming option!

I bought this Legion Pro gaming laptop as a gift for my son and it’s been a huge hit. It runs games smoothly, looks amazing, and handles everything he throws at it without slowing down. The build feels solid and it stays surprisingly cool even during long gaming sessions. He absolutely loves it, and I’m really happy with the quality for the price. Great gift and totally worth it.

I really love my Lenovo Legion Pro 5 16”. It’s fast, powerful, and runs everything super smoothly. The performance is great, and the Ryzen 9 with the RTX 5060 handles games and daily tasks with no problem at all.
The 2.5K screen looks awesome, very sharp and colorful, and the laptop feels solid and well built. I’m honestly very happy with it and feel like it’s a great quality laptop. Definitely a purchase I’m happy with.

Great laptop! The only thing that’s an issue since it’s mainly a human problem is the smudges left on the laptop. It’s due to the normal oils accumulated on your hands that leaves smudge marks on there. Constant cleaning with the microfiber being damp will help clean it up.

Great Computer

The computer is great. I did not give it 5 stars as I had to bring it back to the store and have Geek squad help install ALOT of drivers that were not installed prior to distribution. Purchased it for my son to do school work and play several games, mainly Oblivion Remastered. We did not have the settings set to max and still had to turn the graphics down a bit to keep the game from freezing.

The laptop is great, it plays at high fps and doesn't overheat. The issues with it is its battery not plugged in, with all power saving options it only gets 1 hour and 40 minute battery. And ofter times even lower. But other than that, it is a great gaming laptop, although the matte cover collects grease and moisture, these are the only problems I've had, other than that it is a great gaming laptop would recommend.
