Great prebuilt gaming computer. However, power supply is lacking. GPU is not the top product on the market. This PC is upgradable.
If anyone has any recommendations for immediate upgrades please reply.
Overall extremely good for the price point. Highly recommend. Has not given me any problems. Running all my games on highest graphics settings and chugging along at 60+FPS.

This Pc is very good it runs many games at 100+ FPS on high settings however there are some things to note when getting this pc
1. The RGB can randomly not be detected and it won’t turn on and you can’t manage it
2. It doesn’t come with good quality mouse and keyboard so you might want to buy a better mouse and keyboard
Other than that the pc is great!

I am very pleased with the Legion 5i. Worked well right out of the box. The performance is very good. The cooling works far better than my previous two gaming pc. I am getting temps under load no greater than 72 degrees and in the lower 60's for lesser loads(more than 10 degrees cooler than my previous gaming prebuilt PC).
I called Lenova support 1 time with a question. They answered the phones right away and with a correct answer.

Absolutely love it. My old PC I had purchased in 2010 cost about $1000 however I had to build it from scratch myself. I loved that thing and when my grandmother passed away I took her cat and the cat destroyed it in 2017. Well I had been using this HP all in one PC while it worked for basic things gaming was unthinkable above 10fps.
Come to about 3 months ago and I really need a computer for school, work and would really enjoy gaming again. So after some research on my own I chose this PC as it seemed like a great deal.
After ordering it I talk to a few friends, which they all didn't seem too impressed and gave me low expectations. Like if I wanted to play World of warcraft I would get around 45fps on graphics high. Well I feel a little disappointed at this point and all I can do is wait for it to get here.
Wowowowow. I was wrong, and highly underestimated the computer. It runs WoW on ultra graphics 60fps easily. I absolutely love it. It's beautiful. I love the lighting. The cooling. Everything.

Overall it is a very good machine with snappy performance and very quiet fans. I liked the lighting within the machine and the components are top notch. Now what I really didnt like was the severe lack of expansion options and the low number of USB ports. I found mysrlf shopping for an adapter for the one PCI card slot it has and decided it wasnt for me when I quickly ran out of USB slots and added a USB PCI card to my shopping list. This after paying over 1k for it, no thank you. My old Dell has 12 USB ports, 2 PCI card slots, and an optical audio port. This machine has 6 USB ports and the one standard sized card slot is occupied by the huge video card. Ive decided to return this computer for those reasons but by itself it is an excellent computer and i recommend it to anyone that wants too notch components and performance. Great for gamers and for people who perform CPU intensive tasks such as video editing. Not recommended for those who multitask between several programs and do mostly browsing. A better option for those would be an i5 Intel processor and a much simpler video card.

Man what can I say, When I first started looking into gaming PC's I wasn't sure where to start, But after doing extensive research and watching a crap ton of videos on what's good and what's not for starter PC's, I stumbled upon this Model. I have had it for over a year now and I haven't experienced 1 issue yet, Even though I am not the everyday user I do use the PC multiple times a week for gaming, work, And streaming I can still strongly say 1,300 for this model PC was 100% worth every cent. As of now I have looked into upgrading the SSD but besides that this is a good bang for your buck PC.

I bought this to run a CAD program and so far it runs like a dream. I’m glad I was able to turn off the fancy lights since this isn’t a “gaming” computer.

Awesome for both work and gaming: The GPU is just powerful enough to run design programs and some personal favorites for games. The processor obviously offers incredible speed in conjunction with the SSD. Overall, a great computer for those who are just getting started with gaming.

My first pre-built PC. I came from using a Mac, so my expectations were rather low. Anything gaming-wise is better on PC.
I looked to have at least 16 GB of RAM and a decent graphics card. While there may be way better graphics cards out there, the 1660 S works just fine for me. I play League, CoD, and Overwatch, among other things here and there.
The price point is fairly understandable. Similar specs start at around $1200.
3 weeks after having used the product, still no issues and I’m having a great time with it. Highly recommend.

Had the pc for about 2 days now, everything runs smoothly and get good frames on Valorant, Minecraft, etc., only problem is that the CPU cooler is sort of loud even when not running anything. I dont mind though as I play with headphones.

Thank you for choosing the Lenovo Legion Tower 5i Gaming Desktop Computer. If the fans within your Legion Tower 5i are running at low workload or even at idle at higher RPMs than expected, first, be sure any software you installed is compatible with Windows 10. Incompatible software will, at the very least, increase system workloads, causing the fans to work harder. There is no need to install Microsoft Office software. The software is already part of the operating system, you just need to activate the software with a purchased product key. If you have installed a copy of Microsoft Office, this is conflicting with the existing copy on the system and this will slow your system down. If you have installed a 3rd party anti-virus program, be sure that Windows Defender is turned off and that the trial version of McAfee Anti-Virus software is uninstalled. There can only be one anti-virus program on the system. You may need to restore your system to original factory default settings if any of the programming errors have occurred. You can do that by typing "restore" in the Cortana search window. Just click on the magnifying glass icon at the bottom left of your Windows 10 Desktop. Click on "Reset This PC" Then click on "Get Started" and follow the on screen directions to restore to factory defaults. If there are no incompatible APPs installed, but the fans continue to run at low workloads or idle, check to see what APPs are running in the background on your system. Be sure only the APPs you want running in the background are. Here is a link to instructions for checking what APPs are running in the background on your system: https://www.toolbox.com/it-security/vulnerability-management/blogs/how-to-find-hidden-programs-running-in-the-background-020615/#:~:text=%231%3A%20Press%20%E2%80%9CCtrl%20%2B,of%20hidden%20and%20visible%20programs. Finally, check to be sure you have the latest version of Windows 10 on the computer. Then update all BIOS files and drivers up to that latest version of Windows 10. You can easily accomplish this by scanning the computer with the Lenovo Utility software available on this computer. This system has Lenovo utilities installed to help maintain the health of the device and keep the operating system software up to date. Type "Lenovo Vantage" in the Cortana Search window (if Lenovo Vantage is not installed on your device, you can download the APP and install it now). Select Lenovo Vantage from the list. In the window that opens, click on "Health and Support". In the expanded menu, select "Hardware Scan" In the window that opens, select "Run Quick Tests". This will scan your entire system for errors. Follow any directions that may pop up. If the problem continues after this scan, now click on "System Update". First select Windows update from the menu. Scan your system to be sure you have the latest version of Windows 10. Once that scan is complete, select "Additional Updates". This will scan your device to be sure there are no new BIOS/Driver updates needed. Follow any instructions that may pop up. If the issue still continues after these updates, we recommend you call Lenovo Tech Support at: 877-453-6686 for additional help.

Bought this as my first desktop in order to run applications and games more graphic intensive than what my laptop could handle. It's been more than a week and I've had no problems whatsoever! Setting up the computer was as easy as I could imagine it to be, taking quite literally 10 minutes to take out the box, plug in, and get started with setting up my profile. Everything seems to work as it should, and I am enjoying the giant upgrade of nearly every aspect of the computer over that of my laptop. Would definitely recommend!
