High end gaming is a breeze with the Lenovio Legion 5. Cyberpunk 2077, HL Alyx, Tin Shift & Days Gone all run perfect on the highest settings and set up was a breeze.
*I added an Elgato 4k60Pro and a total of 32GB Ram.

I got this computer on an exchange for the first one I bought which stopped transmitting to the monitor after about a month of owning it. I start setting this one up and installing all my programs and low and behold, it doesn't have the 1 TB HDD that it claims to have in the title (see picture). I couldn't exchange this one for a third one, so I was left right back where I started minus $50 in Uber fees shuttling two broken computers back and forth from Best Buy. Don't waste your time or money, buy another desktop.

For the price this setup is not bad at all. I can run all my games including cyberpunk no problem. The pc runs quiet and looks amazing with the RGB and glass panel side. Very easy to customize with Lenovo hub. Would recommend, very good pc for the price.

Solid gaming PC for the price especially for beginners. Admittedly I am new to PC’s and found this very easy to use and setup!
The case is very nice as well, great airflow and the LEDs are a nice touch as well.
I put a Gundam in mine.

This is my first gaming computer and this box checks all the boxes: great SSD with 1TB data drive, Ryzen 5500G with 16 gigs of ram upgradeable to 128 gigs. This computer has great speed and is a very stylish case with great ventilation. I have always had IBM/Lenovo computers since the early 90's and have never been let down by the brand. Great value for the money!

My Warranty expired only two months ago and now the BIOS system won't work. Won't boot, won't factory reset, nothing. Not worth the savings to end up having to pay an additional 300 just to get the thing booted up again

The motherboard that comes installed in this line of desktops have a problem where it bricks up and you can't access anything, It worked fine for 2 months had a problem and got it fixed only for it to have the same problems a few months down the line. Until I just could get it going anymore.

Bought the computer to replace my 10 year old Lenovo. No sense spending more when you can get Photoshop to load and perform AI edits to large photo files in nearly a blink of the eye. This machine performs better than my expectations!

First one came with all the pieces at the bottom. Second one came and the moment it was turned on it was filled with viruses. We have been unable to fix it to make any game playing happen. Not sure if this is the pcs fault or what. But it has made us unlike it for the amount of money.

By far the worst computer experience I have ever had. Run from this machine and manufacturer. Nothing but problems with it. 2 months in, the computer crashes. Contact Lenovo support and they say to reset the machine. That fails. So they send me a USB with instructions. That sort of works, but there's some hardware issue going on. Contact support again, somehow get transferred to Malyasia, and they can't help me. Get US support (a bot) but they don't recognize the serial number. Ever though I opened the case through the ticket that has the serial number on it.
Maybe it was salvageable, but these types of things should not happen to brand new computers.

Don’t waste your money. It’s a very basic pc and Lenovo makes their mother boards to not want to accept certain upgrades. Could not even add a radiator as there was no USB’s on the motherboard. You are better off saving a little more and building a better pc.

Set it all up, went to turn on & it was a no go. Returned it. I did not even consider an exchange. If thats how it started I'm not trying to find out how it ends. No thanks.
