    Checks all the boxes for college work and powerful enough to play AAA games with decent settings and FPS. It’s big and heavy but has a sleek design for a gaming laptop.

    I have been in the market for a solid gaming laptop for a while now, and finally decided to settle on this Lenovo Legion after carefull research. The build quality of the laptop is superb, with a sturdy frame and durable shell. The screen is also very good for an LCD. There is no backlight bleed the colors are sharp and it can get pretty bright for the price. The RTX 4060 is capable of handling any game you throw at it, and the Ryzen 5 very snappy as well. The laptop is pretty quiet and the fans are able to keep it decently cool even on demanding games. Overall this laptop is an exellent choice for someone who loves gaming.

    I think buying this laptop was the best decision I made. It moves smoothly with heavy FPS games too. I was a little worried before getting it because it was cheap for the written spec. But I'm so satisfied with this laptop. I already recommended this laptop to my friend who was looking for a new one. Only downside is it's a little heavy if you are not used to gaming laptops. But it's not thick so I don't really have any issue with it.

    Where do I start?! This laptop is beautiful, efficient, and amazing. The laptop itself is a beast. This runs games, browsing the internet, listening to music all together so smoothly. The laptop is cool, it’s not very loud and it’s pretty easy to carry. I’m impressed Lenovo!

    Got this on sale for $949.99 a few weeks ago. Ive been impressed by its gaming performance. It stays cool even after hours of gaming. 16gb memory is jst enough to do everything but will be upgrading to 32gb soon. It runs every game i throw at it on high/max settings! I love how you can overclock it through the lenovo app! Only downside is, it only has 500gb storage but its not bad since its easy to add/upgrade its ssd and memory. 2 nvme slots and 2 sodimm ddr5 memory slots.

    I've had this computer for around 9 months and I have no complaints at all. The CPU isn't the strongest, but so far, it seems pretty balanced with the GPU in gaming. The cooling systems works wonders, the GPU has never gone over 70 C, even in pretty strong loads. The build quality is amazing. I bought it for 900 on discount, and I've continued looking for deals even after purchasing it, and can confidently say it's one of the best if not the best budget laptop there is.

    The laptop delivers exceptional performance with its semi high-end CPU and GPU combination, hits a near a perfect balance between power and efficiency. I enjoy the full size keyboard. One standout feature is the dual-channel memory, easily expandable for those seeking additional capacity. Furthermore, the availability of an extra m.2 slot makes storage upgrades a breeze. Many laptops. Many use soldered ram and dont have the extra storage slot. While the laptop excels in many aspects, the display leaves something to be desired. Only with color depth, it may fall slightly short of expectations, but it's a minor drawback considering the overall performance and upgradability this laptop offers. "Especially for $899".

    I got this laptop on sale. I also bought a 2TB NVMe with it due to the 512gb. There is an additional slot so it was an easy upgrade. The 4060 is great and runs many titles up to or past the 144hz screen capability. It play CS:GO and CS2 and it plays flawlessly. VR also runs great on this machine. It has 2 easy USB-C slots on the side and everything else on the rear. Great setup, well thought out. The only reason this laptop would get a 4/5 review would be the way it switches what video card it uses. It has AMD graphics as well as NVIDIA. The AMD is integrated into the CPU which is awesome for battery life and uses it when you are not gaming. Once you load a video game the laptop will hang for a few seconds as it switches to NVIDIA. Not a deal breaker for me as it’s still a positive to have that AMD, plus you are able to change setting and only use NVIDIA if you wanted to. Great build quality, sound, display, and keyboard. Check it out!

    I got this as an open box that was used as display model for almost a year. Excellent laptop for the price I paid for it. The fan is a bit loud when playing game or intensive workload, otherwise it really quite. Excellent upgradability as well, have 2x m.2 SSD slot and 2 RAM slot. Lenovo was really great in extending the warranty to the date of purchase for me even though the laptop was open box.

    I bought this on sale for about $900. I am very happy with its performance. The battery life is not good, but I wanted something that let me play games while I traveled for work. My biggest complaint is that it would not turn on after I shut off through windows Through trial and error I learned that I needed to turn off fast restart in windows. My other gripe is that the storage was not very big however, upgrading the storage was very easy since there is an extra NVME slot overall I am happy with the purchase

    It does everything I need it to (3D modeling and light gaming), and is frankly overkill for my needs. The only thing I find lacking is the storage capacity, but that can be upgraded easily. The screen isn't dazzling, but it's good enough. I'd recommend an external monitor for video editing or movie streaming, but it's fine for gaming and 3D modeling.

    I was in the market for a new gaming laptop saw this one on sale and based on its specs i thought it was fairly price, so i got it & after a month with it, its been amazing. I use it all the time for school & game when I can on it. Also to add memory and upgrade the ram was a piece of cake, battery life isnt the best for gaming but for normal tasks a little over 6 hours.

    I’m no tech person or anything like that so if anything I’m glad my boyfriend told me about this haha I got it for around 800 plus tax, best upgrade for me. It’s been almost a month now, nothing bad has happened so far and I’m glad it hasn’t. I’m using this for school as well as playing games. If you don’t mind the weight and size, I would definitely recommend this.

    Although i got the ryzen 5 model i was still very impressed with this laptops performance. I got 60 fps in starfield on high settings, and was able to get 150 in forza horizon 5 on medium providing a great racing experience. The trackpad and keyboard both feel great and the four zone backlight works pretty good. This worked very well with 3d modleing and slicer softwares for my 3d printer and proved to be very efficient as a workstation and great gaming laptop.

    This is a really good computer for the money when it is on sale. I purchased it for under $1000 and have been happy with it. It does have some bloatware (worthless factory added programs) but it is not as bad as other brands. The battery life solid for normal use but gaming obviously chews through this faster. The computer is very fast (for the price) and i have had no issues gaming on this device.

    Bought as a way to take creative applications elsewhere, CAD design, video editing and gaming. The 7th gen ryzen 5 offers you great flexibility of performance for determined tasks and while the 4060 might not be a very well received gpu by the community it gets the job done for a secondary pc, its still rather powerful- the included igpu is also very powerful for light-medium tasks.

    Almost perfectly balanced specs for a laptop. Fast start-up and applications run great! Gaming is above average, running older games at breakneck speed and newer ones at more than a respectable pace. Purchased open box and was very impressed with the condition, although I had to enable WIFI in bios.
