Ive went through a lot of different laptops trying to find the best gaming device for the most reasonable price to play GTA VI when it gets released and this is the best device I have ever used.
I went through the entire RTX 50 series line up besides the 5090(way overpriced) even the 5080 I played paired with the I9 275HX wasn't worth $1000 dollars more than this device with the 5070ti, plus it comes with 2tb of storage and 32gb of ram out of the box and it's upgradable is huge bonus.
Battery life is rough but that's any gaming laptop I usually just leave mine plugged in, also get a cooling pad like the IETS gt500 or gt600 & save your CPU and GPU with better heat dissipation.

This thing is awesome. I recently bought one of these with a very power hungry AMD CPU and a 5060, half the ram, half the storage, and a 240hz screen. It kind of didn't make sense. This Intel CPU model runs cooler, has double the ram and storage (seems some games won't run well nowadays with only 32gb like Metro Exodus), a 5070ti, and a 165hz screen instead. All the specs line up and make sense, and no money is wasted anywhere. It isn't super "gamery" even though it is 16", it doesn't feel huge necessarily. I really love it. On sale for $1850 when purchased after Christmas of 2025. Wonderful value for how much you're spending on this caliber of laptop.

The Pro 5i is a beast of a laptop but expect to be hooked to the wall when gaming or anything heavy loaded. Getting the 12gigs of vram is extremely important in gaming with the games already well above 8gigs like the 5070/5060. You can push this laptop hard and get great results. Everything is fast, high frames with max settings just don't expect to get raytracing on max setting on the 5070TI because its just not made for it. On sale this laptop is unbeatable at its price range. the 7i does have better cooling but i opted for the higher gpu and lower cooling ability for the price range I was in. Very fun laptop but if your not traveling a lot or using it for work away from home, then just upgrade your pc with an actual 5070TI. amazing laptop though if your looking for one.

Very solid sturdy build. Not too heavy. The screen is gorgeous and plenty fast with the 165hz refresh rate. The laminate of the oled screen looks like a clean slate of glass and is reflective obviously however the screen gets to a nice level of brightness.
The i9 275HX is extremely fast also, scores clocking in on geekbench 6 is 3100 for single score followed by a 20000 multi-core score. Plenty fast.
Love the keyboard, pretty similar to my magic keyboard in the softness and response.
Only thing I am having difficulty figuring out if the rgb is per key but it appears to be per zone but I could be wrong.
Lenovo also offers a cheap yearly accidental damage protection which is something a lot of other manufacturers do not bother to offer.
Overall I am completely satisfied with my purchase of the Legion 5i Pro 10th gen.
can't go wrong with this device. A++++

This laptop is incredible for gaming, probably better than my desktop, and only for $1850! An incredible deal for these specs! A had a drivers issue at the start where my laptop got froze constantly, but all I had to do was delete the original display drivers and let the default reinstall. Then everything ran perfectly. 2.5k max graphics around 200 fps most games!! :)

I’ve been using the Lenovo Legion Pro 5i for a few weeks now, and it has exceeded my expectations in every way.
The Intel Core Ultra 9 275HX paired with 32GB of RAM makes multitasking and heavy gaming absolutely smooth—no lag, no stutter. The RTX 5070Ti handles modern AAA games effortlessly at high settings, and frame rates are excellent, even in demanding titles.
The real highlight is the 16” 2.5K OLED display. Colors pop, blacks are deep, and motion is buttery smooth. It’s a game changer not just for gaming but also for streaming and content creation.
Storage is massive with the 2TB SSD—plenty of room for games, software, and media without worrying about space.
Build quality feels premium, the keyboard is responsive with satisfying key travel, and the cooling system does a great job keeping temperatures under control during long gaming sessions.
Pros:
Brilliant 2.5K OLED display
Powerful CPU + GPU combo
32GB memory & 2TB SSD = future-proof
Excellent cooling and build quality
Cons:
Battery life is decent but not amazing (as expected for a gaming laptop)
On the heavier side if you plan to travel a lot
Overall, this is a top-tier gaming laptop that delivers performance, visuals, and storage in one package. Highly recommended for gamers, power users, and creators who want both speed and display quality.

This machine boasts very good specs, is surprisingly light, and has handled anything I've thrown at it so far. The screen alone is mesmerizing. This is my first non-phone OLED screen, and I can't believe how gorgeous everything looks on it. I was hoping that the system came with one 2TB SSD, so I could upgrade to a larger one later, but it actually came with two 1TB SSDs. That is my only gripe, and not worth taking a star off. I can still upgrade later on, and reuse one of the drives in an external enclosure. RAM is two 16GB sticks of 5800 DDR5. If you plan to load a fresh install of Windows, be sure to get the Nahilic audio app in the Windows Store. It comes pre-configured, and my ears couldn't stand it. Used the app to turn off all the "enhancements". I like being able to control which gpu is used for background tasks. Got quite a bit of battery life using the iGPU to watch Netflix or use simple desktop apps.

The Lenovo Pro 5i is the best. It is less expensive than its big brother, the 7i. Its performance is excellent, as I enjoy playing video games without a problem. I selected this model in particular b/c it has more RAM and more storage. Check out all the features it has....Wow!

I wanted to switch to a mobile gaming set up without sacrificing the power of a desktop, and this definitely hit it out of the park!
It was an upgrade to my old desktop with a 3080 and 16 gb of ram, and I can bring it on my work trips to play anywhere now!

Well built, great value. Been in IT for my entire life, and as a professional I can say this is the "bang for the buck" sweet spot this for this generation - especially when on sale.
Keep in mind the 2tb is actually two separate 1tb drives. For new users PC users you will need to learn how to install games and programs onto the separate 1tb drive.

I have been running it hard nonstop for about a month now. I am not a gamer. I use this machine as an autocad/fusion work station. It is often running and processing for days without stopping. I paired it with a Dell 39" 5k monitor. I thought the cooling would be louder, but I rarely notice it. This was a great deal at Best Buy. Lately, BestBuy has been beating out Amazon on service and price.
