Customers are saying

Customers love the Legion Pro 5i 16" Gaming Laptop's performance, graphics, and ample RAM and storage. Many appreciate the display and find the price reasonable for the specifications. However, some users note that the battery life could be improved, and the fan noise and heat generation are potential drawbacks for certain users. The weight may also be a concern for those who need a highly portable laptop.

    Keyboard colors are out of control

    I really haven't been able to do much with this. I have spent 3 weeks trying to get the keyboard background colors to work right and they don't. They have special Lenovo Vantage software that use a program called Spectrum to customize keyboard background colors. Well, it doesn't work. My keyboard defaults to the keys changing colors from right to left in waves. The spectrum software will work 1 time only and then not work if you try to use it again. The colors that you are able to set with Spectrum last until you reboot the computer, then they go back to the original default colors. I called Lenovo and they have not been able to fix it. It has done this since I bought the laptop. Lenovo support reinstalled windows and deleted all of my apps that I spent 3 weeks getting installed. Now I have to start all over from scratch and the keyboard still does not work. I have not been able to do much more than install apps and try to get my keyboard to work right. I tried to ignore the keyboard but flashing colors like strobe light is not what I would call a pleasing working environment. I wish Lenovo could fix their keyboard. I might have to take it back to bestbuy. I have not been able to check it out to see if it can do anything cool yet. So sad and frustrating.

      Hi, BrianP69, thank you for choosing Lenovo! To try to resolve this, try uninstalling and reinstalling Lenovo Vantage. This should resolve any bugs with the Legion Spectrum RGB controller software within Vantage. We are glad to hear that your Legion Pro 5i has been great otherwise, and we appreciate you taking the time to share your experience with us. Lenovo
