    Very happy with this machine. I added an additional 16GB of DDR5 (before prices went crazy) and a 2nd NVME SSD for gaming. So far for all the games I play this does a great job. Well built, bright screen, nice keyboard with numpad. Fast CPU and the NVIDIA 5060 really helps gaming performance. I've never had a screen with this high of a refresh before, but it sure seems smooth. Be sure to enable it in Windows 11, by default its stuck at 60hz instead of 240hz. The battery life isn't that great, but this isn't really a productivity machine. It's not bad, but if you really want crazy battery life buy a mac I guess.

    This laptop i got during cyber monday at $1100 it was an amazing purchase. It runs most games flawlessly and i can do all my schoolwork on it. Its batterly life is poor but thats to be expected with a gaming laptop. My only complaint would be its weight as it can get uncomfortable on your lap after a while. It has good screen quality although i wish colors popped just a little bit more. This is probably as good as it gets for a mid-range gaming laptop for the price i bought it at. It is a solid 9/10 gaming laptop

    Runs even faster than I thought, fans are not very loud. Screen and refresh rate are great. Can run heavy Minecraft shaders and intensive texture packs at a consistent 110+ frames. It can run CS2 at a solid 90 at 1440p. Better than my desktop and wasn’t even expecting that. Battery life is short but wasn’t expecting it to be long, nor do I play without plugging it in and I’m not factoring it into my rating.

    Amazing Gaming Laptop

    I haven't experienced any lag while doing anything. Was very well protected in the box and had no scratches or defects. Fan is only loud when gaming which is normal. When I do my college assignments it is completely silent. Battery life is about 2 hours for normal tasks, but I always have it plugged in anyways. I don't plan on using it outside of the house considering how expensive it is. Amazing cpu and gpu, but you probably already knew that.

    Low Profile Gaming Laptop

    I picked this laptop mostly because it did DisplayPort over USB-C with the graphics card, but honestly the aesthetics are great. It doesn't feel like it's super gamery and obnoxious, and it has plenty of power, though I feel this model doesn't need a 240hz screen, as a 5060 wouldn't probably take advantage of that. Ultimately I returned this for the 5070ti model to get some more performance in specific games. My "new" one is the same size and feel as this, which is fantastic.

    An Amazing Machine for Work and AI Tasks

    I’m extremely happy with my Lenovo Legion Pro 5. The keyboard feels incredible — super comfortable, responsive, and perfect for long work sessions. The screen is on another level; the clarity and brightness make everything look stunning, and it’s been amazing for my AI projects. Performance-wise, it handles all my AI tools smoothly and efficiently. It absolutely meets the expectations I had for a powerful workstation. In the future, I plan to upgrade the RAM to 32GB to push it even further, but even with the current configuration, it works wonderfully. Overall, I’m very grateful and truly satisfied with my purchase. Totally recommended

    Beautiful laptop. I bought open box for a great price. After a windows update it’s given an issue that I really cannot fix. It shuts down when the power cable is connected. I’ve done a fresh install and have the same issue. I see someone else having a similar issue ( the guy in Brazil). Before tho e update the laptop was a beast playing call of duty.

    Nightmare

    I bought this laptop as a Christmas gift for my brother who lives in Brazil. My brother-in-law, who was here on vacation, took it to Brazil for him. But when my brother turned it on, the screen simply didn’t work. What was supposed to be a Christmas gift has become my worst nightmare because no one I know can bring it back. There’s no support in Brazil, and sending it back here would be insanely expensive. I even called support, and they told me there’s nothing they can do to help. How can a brand-new laptop not work? Now I’m completely stuck with a $1,300 laptop that’s broken in Brazil and no solution

    Great as a portable desktop, so-so as a laptop

    This laptop has a lot going for it. In terms of performance, it is an absolute powerhouse. However, for my needs, it did not quite work out. The battery life on this laptop is horrible. I knew it would not be good but the processor they chose is desktop-level. I was also comparing this to a legion 5 with the AMD Ryzen 7 260 version and this laptop got noticeably louder with fan speeds than the Ryzen 7 260 version. These things many not bother most people using a gaming laptop, but I need something more portable and this was not quite it for me. However, if you are looking for something with fantastic performance, a beautiful screen, and actually light for what it is; than this is good for your. However, if you need the battery to last longer than 3-4 hours for basic computer stuff and you don't want your fans to run so loud you get looks at the coffee shop, I would look elsewhere.

    The Lenovo Legion Pro 5 16″ with Ryzen 9 8945HX and RTX 5060 absolutely slaps—Cyberpunk 2077 runs at silky‑smooth frame rates on its WQXGA OLED 240 Hz panel, even with high settings and DLSS turned on. The combination of the 16‑core RX‑9 chip and RTX 5060 delivers desktop‑level power in a keyboard‑friendly 16‑inch form, and Lenovo’s Coldfront cooling setup keeps things surprisingly chill under load . The display really pops—deep blacks, vivid colors, and zero ghosting make the neon cyber‑streets look amazing . Sure, it’s kinda heavy and there’s no SD card reader or super‑fast USB ports, but the RGB keyboard is comfortable, the AI Engine multitasks like a champ, and battery life while gaming is meh, but who plays unplugged anyway? At around $1,650, it’s a total beast for anyone serious about gaming now—even Cyberpunk 2077 is zero sweat.

    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.

    4.5- after about a month of having it, it’s WONDERFUL!! i absolutely love it, it runs games, programs and school work so well i absolutely adore it. i had an 2018 macbook air and it was hardly running google docs. this is such a nice upgrade definitely worth it. i’m docking half a point for the battery life when it’s off the charger. it’s not very long and can be annoying but i hardly leave my desk with it so it’s not a big deal.

    Poor Battery Life

    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.

      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.

      We are glad to read that you are otherwise satisfied with your purchase.

      Please don't hesitate to reach out to us via the Q& A section of this product page or contact Lenovo Support should you have any questions or need assistance.
