I recently purchased the Lenovo Legion 5i Pro from Best Buy, and the transaction was smooth and hassle-free.
The laptop arrived promptly and in perfect condition. The Legion 5i Pro performs exceptionally well with its Intel Core i9 processor and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 graphics card.
It's powerful, with a sleek design, responsive keyboard, and efficient cooling system.
I'm extremely satisfied with my purchase and highly recommend both the laptop and Best Buy for a seamless shopping experience.

Right out of the box, the casing is well built and seems will be highly durable over time. Runs very quietly even while pushing large programs and games. The RTX 4070 is sufficient, although I've heard people say jumping to the 4080 is worth the money. For our use though we haven't seen any drop in frame rates or lag and I don't plan to upgrade for a while. I love the backlit keys and layout...no issues with the battery or charging so far.

Great gaming laptop but I think for the price the only problem is the battery life it needs to be plugged up to play most games if not it will lag which is common with gaming laptops.

Hi EmmaB, thanks for choosing Lenovo! 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. We're thrilled to hear that your Legion Pro 5i has been great for you overall, and we really appreciate you sharing your experience and feedback with us.

I recently got my hands on the Lenovo Legion Pro 5i 16" Gaming Laptop (Intel 14th Gen Core i9, 32GB Memory, NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 8GB, 2TB SSD) in Onyx Grey, and I am absolutely blown away! This machine is a true gaming beast and has exceeded every one of my expectations.
First off, the performance is just incredible. The Intel 14th Gen Core i9 processor, combined with the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070, tears through every game I throw at it with ease. Whether I'm playing the latest AAA titles on ultra settings or tackling demanding creative tasks, this laptop handles it all without a hitch. The 32GB of RAM ensures smooth multitasking, and the lightning-fast 2TB SSD means games load in a flash and the system feels incredibly responsive.
The 2.5K LCD display is another huge highlight. The visuals are stunningly crisp, vibrant, and incredibly smooth thanks to the high refresh rate. Gaming on this screen is an immersive experience, with details popping and colors looking rich and accurate. Even for everyday use, the display is a joy to look at.
Lenovo has also done an excellent job with the cooling. Despite the powerful components, the Legion Pro 5i stays remarkably cool even during extended gaming sessions, and the fan noise is well-managed. The build quality feels solid and premium in the Onyx Grey finish, and the keyboard is comfortable and responsive for both typing and gaming.
While the battery life, like most powerful gaming laptops, isn't designed for all-day unplugged use, that's a minor trade-off for the sheer power and performance you get when plugged in.
If you're serious about gaming and want a laptop that delivers top-tier performance, a gorgeous display, and a premium experience, look no further than the Lenovo Legion Pro 5i. It's a fantastic investment that will elevate your gaming to the next level!

I bought this laptop as a new device but when I go to the system file, I saw old files and when I go to the battery information, it’s already two months active before I pay this device.
