    Specs are amazing for a computer on the go, only issues I have are the battery life is pretty bad, and when doing demanding things on the computer the fans are SO LOUD. LIKE. UNBELIEVABLY LOUD.

      Hey NoaJ,

      Thank you for choosing Lenovo and for sharing your feedback with us.

      Regarding battery life and fan noise when not completing demanding 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/cooler system (lower fan noise) 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 is otherwise great for your use.

      Please feel free to reach out to us should you have any questions.

      Best,
      Lenovo Lenovo

    Disclaimer: I received a chance to win a $400 gift card for writing this review. However, it has not impacted my opinions in any way. This thing is a beast. I've had an overall good experience with this laptop. The fans can be a little bit loud but when you have game sound on you don't really notice them too much. There are a couple places that get warm when playing games but I've never seen a temperature over 72 degrees which is fairly impressive for a gaming laptop.

    The laptop has plenty of power for gaming and good specs for the price. My only complaints are the battery life (which is expected for gaming laptops) and the physical weight of the device. If you don’t mind a 5.5lb laptop then this is definitely a high quality machine.

    been using it for music production, light gaming and audio engineering. If you are using this for music you wont have to worry about having ALOT of plugins in one project. And when it comes to gaming, ive been playing newer titles like the silent hill 2 2024 remaster on high settings with dlss3 at 60-70fps no problem. overall, its a great laptop thats focused towards productivity but can absolutely still play the newest games at good settings and stable fps/\.

    This Legion Pro 5I 16 fits my needs and preforms exactly as I had hoped. The cooling is excellent. I run it with the lid closed, basically docked, with USB keyboard/mouse with 3840 x 2160 27 inch monitor. With the exhaust on the rear sides and back the unit stays cool to the touch. The cooling can be heard when engaged but the sound is low and not intrusive. I would buy it again.

    Good laptop, runs most games at 100+ fps on maxed settings aside from AAA games like fortnite, etc. 1440p display is amazing and crisp. Great backlit RGB keyboard, quiet fans, and a numpad is a plus, dont see that on most gaming laptops nowadays. Thermals are fine, 82 C constant on cpu. Metal lid is also very nice. Also has an ethernet port, which for some very very strange reason isnt included in most modern gaming laptops. Would recommend.

    Excellent Laptop for the price. I lucked up and got this thing for 1300 and change. Fast, love the RGB keyboard, and the specs were awesome for the price. I was tempted to go alienware but after seeing the reviews I decided to go with lenovo due to it being better than Dell longevity wise. I own a Dell inspiron all in one i7 and no problems yet, curious to see which one of these beasts will last the longest.

      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.
