Lenovo Legion Pro 5i

Lenovo Legion Pro 5i has been an absolute beast for Call of Duty competitive Ranked Play. The performance is fast, smooth, and consistent, which is exactly what you need when every gunfight is decided in milliseconds. The high refresh rate display feels super responsive for snapping, tracking, and keeping your aim steady, and the input response stays sharp even during long grind sessions. It runs CoD well without constant stutters or random frame drops, so rotations, challs, and close-range fights feel way more controlled. Cooling is solid for a laptop this powerful, so you’re not dealing with heavy throttling mid-match when you’re trying to clutch up. Build quality feels strong, the keyboard is comfortable, and the setup is easy to lock in with. Overall, it’s a top-tier choice if you want serious Ranked Play performance on a laptop.
Thank you for choosing Lenovo and sharing your glowing review with us. We are happy to hear that you are enjoying the performance, display quality, colling capabilities, and keyboard ergonomics of the Legion Pro 5i. We aim to offer great user experience and are overjoyed to see that we met our goal.

Laptop is solid. Has a great cooling system and handled every game I tried. It won’t them all max settings but they still look great on the 16in Oled display. My only gripe is that the screen has a yellow hue to it that I couldn’t configure out

Great gaming laptop! I purchased it during a sale for $540 off sticker price. Worth every penny. Handles Dying Light: The Beast of full settings with out a problem. The fan can get loud when it's running hard, but nothing some headphones can't fix. I highly recommend this laptop for gamers on a moderate budget.

This is a great laptop. Run’s battlefield smooth no lag and also other games no hesitation. Would highly recommend. Although the battery life isn’t the best, keep it plugged in while gaming.

Very powerful, fast, and capable. But I’ve noticed 2 issues. 1) fan kicks on way to easily and is very loud but that’s not that much of a problem. 2) the battery drains very quick if you try to do anything slightly complex
Thanks for choosing Lenovo and for sharing your feedback with us.
We are pleased to read that the Legion Pro 5i is performing quite well for you.
Regarding the fan noise and battery use, this can be optimized with system settings. 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 dedicated 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 greater power conservation.
Please let us know what else we can do to try to improve your experience, as your satisfaction is important to us.
Regards, Lenovo

1st gaming laptop and this exceeds my expectations

This laptop is awesome. I mainly game on it but do use it for other tasks and it handles it all. The OLED screen is just wonderful , build quality is excellent. It has played games I thought it would have trouble with due to the 8gb vram on the 5070 very well with just slight tweaks to settings. (Examples Doom the dark ages a very intensive game can be played at 1080p high with a steady frame rate , then if you drop the texture pool down and add DLSS quality 1440p is possible with tweaks! Doom eternal 1440p ultra 165fps , Ninja Gaiden 2 Black 1440p high ) I am very pleased with it and would recommend this for anyone looking for a good mid range laptop 1080/1440p mid to high setting if you to play the heavier new titles and wanting high settings get the 5070ti version.

I researched a handful of laptops for gaming when I was looking for my first gaming laptop and landed on buying this one. I have no regrets, this laptop is a beast with a screen that is like no other. Beautiful visuals in game and movies. If your on the fence buy it you will not be disappointed

Wow… what an upgrade from my Dell laptop! Super fast, excellent graphics and plenty of space. Installed an additional 4TB SSD, super easy to upgrade. Don’t have any complaints, was uncertain of buying Lenovo but glad I did.

After reading a bunch of reviews I knew gaming laptops were on the come up, but the legion is pure class. It’s basically a mobile desktop and while I fell the need to upgrade for more VRAM I’m not really sure if I need to.

Great laptop. Runs great, quite and cool. The display is very crisp. Would buy again.

I have the laptop for a little over a month now. Gaming performance is phenomenal. It's a quick and speedy laptop. However, it comes with a lot of bloatware and proprietary software that may cause weird glitches. For example, I installed new Intel graphics drivers from the Intel site. That made my external monitor constantly flicker in and out, repeatedly. The only fix was to downgrade the Intel drivers and only use Lenovo Vantage drivers for Intel graphics drivers from here on out. On the other hand, I have had no issues with Nvidia drivers being installed from the Nvidia app.

It’s good for someone who doesn’t have a desktop and a good gaming laptop with a good price.
The battery life is very short though, performance was great. The quality and design is not that bad.
Running Linux is quite a challenge. There was no Bluetooth compatibility.

We suggest using Quiet mode which will lower the temperature of your Legion 7i when under load. You can also toggle thermal modes simply with the Fn+Q hotkey.
The Legion Pro 5i also includes the option of controlling the “GPU Working Mode”. You can find this within Legion Space, just below the Thermal Profile modes from the previous step. This allows your device to switch between the integrated GPU and discrete GPU. By switching modes, you can enhance battery life through the Hybrid-iGPU Only Mode which will lower the power draw of the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 graphics card or enhance performance with dGPU Mode which will enhance display performance.

I’ve only had it for a few days but it’s already 10x better than my MacBook Pro that I paid double the price for 6 years ago. It does things quick and the visuals are incredible. It seems to be decent with multitasking, but I haven’t put it to the real test yet. I only have two issues, the screen brightness and volume buttons don’t work for some reason??? But as I’m troubleshooting, it looks like this is common and can be fixed. I also am having trouble running emulators for older games, but that’s probably more just finding the sweet spot in settings. Seems to run today’s games great!!!

This product exceeded my expectations. This computer has a great display and can handle any game you throw at it. If you know how to take advantage of Nvidia DLSS and frame gen this is a outstanding computer for the price

It’s a wonderful laptop and runs amazingly on games. Perfect for my gaming demands and workload need. Only thing that isn’t ideal is the battery, but for as much as I’m putting on it, it lasts 5 hours with everything I have running.

Purchased for gaming and game development/programming. Perfectly suited for both. Very quiet, even in performance mode.
Ended up returning for a similarly spec’d 7i when on sale, but had 0 issues with this device.
