Customers are saying

Customers love the Legion Pro 5i 16" Gaming Laptop's performance, graphics, and ample RAM and storage. Many appreciate the display and find the price reasonable for the specifications. However, some users note that the battery life could be improved, and the fan noise and heat generation are potential drawbacks for certain users. The weight may also be a concern for those who need a highly portable laptop.

    More reliably a gaming laptop, it runs the newest B06 at around 100-150fps, fortnite most of the time at 165 (near medium) settings. Runs a bit hot during intensive games. Battery will get test your ability to do any productivity tasks w/o being plugged in. Overall, great laptop for gaming, battery is sub-par buts its a gaming laptop....

    The Lenovo Legion Pro 5i 16 Gaming Laptop has great storage and more than enough memory for gaming, watching movies and general software usage. I enjoy the options for keyboard colors and periodically change them. Like most gaming laptops the battery life is not as good as a standard laptop, I am getting 3.5 hours with standard usage and 2.5 when gaming. Star Wars Outlaws came with the laptop and it is fun to play

    Best purchase I’ve made in a long time. I bought this laptop for 3D modeling, digital drawing, and making music, it does all of that and then some. The 2TB was definitely an upgrade from my 1tb ssd I installed in my old Lenovo y500. I don’t game but I don’t doubt the capabilities of this bad boy!! The pros for me are processing power, storage, memory, and the look of the laptop is cool. Cons are it does get kinda loud especially if I forget to turn it off. My advice is you should definitely buy!

    Lenovo Legion 5 stars, but Geek Squad gets 10!

    My new laptop, a Lenovo Legion Pro 5i, rates an A+, but it would not have without the Geek Squad, which was amazing! I cannot praise them enough for getting me through a difficult setup. Microsoft is being so intrusive now days that the average person is at their mercy to setup a device in a way that is acceptable and which successfully minimizes Microsoft's outrageously aggressive promotion of their products. Truly, as far as I am concerned, my Total Tech cost paid for itself with this one purchase because I more than likely would have returned this $2,000 laptop (hey, don't judge, it was the only model with the ports I needed) if it had not been for the professionalism, friendliness, knowledge, and patience of Jacob (Geek Squad Tech), Emily (Geek Squad Manager), and Michael (the employee who set me up with Jacob). They were all beyond amazing. I am a granny who has had a horrible few years (lost my husband after a horrendous 5 year struggle with aggressive dementia), and I struggle to cope with any stress these days. The Geek Squad employees at Port Arthur, Texas, just did everything they could to minimize my stress. I just cannot tell you how much I appreciated them. So, yes, the Lenovo Legion gets 5 stars, but it was because the Geek Squad gets 10. I HIGHLY recommend the Port Arthur Geek Squad and Best Buy Port Arthur, and, now that they did their magic to configure and customize my laptop, I am thrilled with it as well. Truly, getting Total Tech (for several years now, even while struggling to stay in my home while my husband was ill) was one of the best decisions I EVER made! Thank you, Jacob, Emily, Michael, Total Tech, and Best Buy PA!

    We had an acer nitro gaming laptop originally but it lasted only a year before everything started going to crap... so I got this one for my hubby for Christmas and it is amazing! We can already tell the difference is graphics and the way games run. Havent quite figured out the AI part of the laptop, but so far he is in love with this laptop and its perfect for being in the barracks on base !

    I use this laptop to run Adobe apps and Blender. I create videos, 3D works, and complex Photoshop images. For a laptop computer I believe this is the best bang for the buck. Its fast and works great and has plenty of ports for accessories like additional screens. That all said, it's a laptop. I am unable to have completely smooth performance when I start adding too many huge file layers on top of each other in adobe which is why I am now looking into building a desktop computer. That said, I wouldn't be this far in my skills without this laptop. This computer performs great for most tasks in Adobe apps and well worth the money. Even when I get a desktop computer, I will still be using this laptop for a portable workstation as it is a great workstation. I would 100% buy this laptop again if I had to do it all over again.

    I was looking for something versatile and powerful. Cant have everything without one downside. Gaming, Cyberpunk 2077 runs amazing on it, Creativity, Adobe illustrator, photoshop and Premier work great. Display color is awesome and vivid. Also fan design and port layout is great with everything in back and just a USB port on each side and one USB C port on side. So the downside is battery. I can still play cyberpunk for almost an hour at full quality before down to 20%, the fix is power supply. A 300W power adaptor charges it fast and keeps the laptop at full power while gaming when plugged in. Overall, I recommend as it feels solid, runs great and powerful

    I recently purchased the Lenovo Legion 5i Pro from Best Buy, and the transaction was smooth and hassle-free. The laptop arrived promptly and in perfect condition. The Legion 5i Pro performs exceptionally well with its Intel Core i9 processor and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 graphics card. It's powerful, with a sleek design, responsive keyboard, and efficient cooling system. I'm extremely satisfied with my purchase and highly recommend both the laptop and Best Buy for a seamless shopping experience.

    Great gaming laptop but I think for the price the only problem is the battery life it needs to be plugged up to play most games if not it will lag which is common with gaming laptops.

      Hi EmmaB, thanks for choosing Lenovo! If you want to squeeze out more battery life and are completing non-intensive graphics tasks, we recommend utilizing the MUX switch built into this model to turn off the 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 more power conservation. We're thrilled to hear that your Legion Pro 5i has been great for you overall, and we really appreciate you sharing your experience and feedback with us. Lenovo

    Right out of the box, the casing is well built and seems will be highly durable over time. Runs very quietly even while pushing large programs and games. The RTX 4070 is sufficient, although I've heard people say jumping to the 4080 is worth the money. For our use though we haven't seen any drop in frame rates or lag and I don't plan to upgrade for a while. I love the backlit keys and layout...no issues with the battery or charging so far.
