However, some users express concerns regarding the battery life, noting that it is shorter than expected, especially under heavy load. The laptop's weight is also a point of discussion, with some finding both the laptop and its power adapter to be heavy. Positive feedback also highlights the quiet operation of the cooling fans.

    Lenovo Legion is Alright

    The lenovo legion pro 5i is an excellent laptop in terms of performance and cooling. It can run all modern games at a high frame rate while staying relatively cool. The issue is the size and weight of the thing. I though I was ready for it, I was not. The charger alone is the size of a book and weighs even more. Altogether the laptop and charger weigh something like 7-8 pounds! Quite the arm workout if you plan on taking this anywhere. The battery life is also quite atrocious, barely lasting 4 or 5 hours while idling, not even 2 while gaming. 5 stars in terms of performance, looks, and cooling, -2 for the sheer size and weigut of the thing and the battery life.

      Hi AndrewTheDude,

      Thanks for choosing Lenovo!

      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 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 more power conservation.

      We are glad to hear that your Legion Pro 5i has been excellent overall, and we appreciate you taking the time to share your perspective with us.

      Best,
      Lenovo Lenovo

    Very good laptop that does everything I need it to do. Runs all my games well, and I can do all my work. Battery life isn’t great, but this thing pretty much stays on the charger all the time, so it doesn’t really matter. Very happy with it.

    I bought this laptop mainly to upgrade from my previous gaming laptop from Asus. By far it’s been really good I played games like Valorant, Minecraft, Far Cry 5 and 6 along with Game Development and performance is pretty good. For the selling price and it’s spec I say it’s a good deal

    I recently purchased the Lenovo Legion Pro 5i, and it has exceeded all my expectations. The Intel 14th Gen Core i9 processor combined with the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4060 provides lightning-fast performance, making it perfect for gaming and heavy multitasking. The laptop delivers as advertised, very happy with the purchase.

    Bought this on a deal and happy to say one of the best finds out there! No issues at all and plays all my favorote games with no issues as well as running CAD like a champ. The Lenovo Legion has always been a great computer with the exception of the battery life but it can't all be perfect. If you keep ot docked you shoild have no problems. Has the latest processor and a pretty solid 4060, just added some additional RAM and it was good to go. Would definitely recommend this product.

    I've had issues with my laptop since getting it. The navigation bar kept freezing and restarting, closing out any windows apps along with it, downloading files is slow and I just got a blue screen show up. I didn't realize that Bestbuy's return policy is 15 days and it's too late for me to return it.

    Great gaming laptop with a good amount of ports. Not too heavy for a 16 inch and slim for the specs. The screen is very good but the sound is below par. I use headphones or external speakers all the time, so I did not deduct a star. The laptop handles everything game and photo editing I have thrown at it extremely well. It can get a little noisy when the fans ramp up for gaming. Gaming drains the battery like most laptops with high specs. I would recommend if you travel often and want to game while away from home. It has taken the place of my desktop.
