However, some users express concerns regarding the battery life, noting that it is shorter than expected, especially under heavy load.

    After my HP Spectre died prematurely I decided to go with Lenovo. I've had great luck with work issued Lenovos over the years and this one has the performance and screen I needed at a great price. I have been using it daily now for about 3 weeks and couldn't be happier so far.

      Hey BBRFL, thanks for choosing Lenovo! We are glad to hear your Legion Pro 5i has been solid for you, and we appreciate you taking the time to share your feedback with us. If you want to squeeze out more battery life and are completing non-intensive graphics tasks, we recommend utilizing 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. Also, this Legion supports USB-C power delivery, so when using a lower power draw, you can use a USB-C charger for improved portability. Lenovo

    It's awesome. I like that the power connection is not a center pin type; it's a square connector. I changed the m.2 SSD to 2TB and added a second m.2, 2TB, to dual-boot Debian and Windows 11. I also doubled the RAM to 32 GB.

    Excellent PC for the price if you aren't trying to game too heavily. The Intel i9-14900 HX is one heck of processor. It has Geekbench 6 scores Single Core - 2830. Multi-Core - 17900. The graphics card is a bit weaker with a compute score of 93300.

    Overall I am very happy with this laptop. I bought it for the mid-level gaming that I do. The size and weight of the laptop certainly make it difficult to take anywhere with you, so keep that in mind if you’re often on the move. It also has very poor battery life. However, the graphics, responsiveness, and overall gaming experience are unmatched.

    Happy with the item, not the shipping

    A good laptop that is able to run games relatively well. I can bump the settings and graphics up high on games, but not all the way without suffering from stuttering on a few of the more demanding ones. I enjoy using quiet mode to avoid loud noises from the fan when I'm in a quiet environment. Battery life isn't the best since it's a gaming laptop, so I have to have it constantly plugged in. What I am not happy with is buying the open-box option from Bestbuy and receiving no box at all, nor anything inside the package to actually keep it protected during shipping. I am aware that it is riskier and comes with a discount, but I am honestly quite shocked with the fact the item arrived in one piece. It is a good item, but I would not trust Bestbuy with another purchase, at least not "open-box".

    Purchased this laptop to game on while I travel. It did not disappoint. Was able to play my games without issue. I picked the 4060 model as I didn’t feel I needed the 4070 when I have my desktop as my main rig. Purchased a 32 GB RAM kit that I will be installing in the near future.
