    Fantastic computer. Build quality is excellent and functions amazing. Incredibly quick for gaming. Keep in mind you’re capped at 30 FPS when not plugged in.

    Quickly upgraded the ram to 32gb, but other than that, this laptop is great. Lenovo just has great laptops. The only thing would be battery life, but its a gaming laptop, what would you expect.

      Thank you for choosing the Lenovo Legion 5 15 Gaming Laptop, model number 82JW00BFUS. This model ships with a Integrated 60Wh, Lithium-Polymer Battery, which within this configuration, has a battery life of up to 5 hours, depending on the work the device is performing. If you are getting substantially less battery life, first, set your screen brightness at less than 100-percent - try 80-percent to start with. Then, be sure Battery conservation Mode is turned off. This power management setting should only be used when the laptop is plugged in all the time. It will prolong overall battery life by only charging the battery to 60-percent of capacity. Here is a link to instructions for turning off Battery Conservation Mode: https://support.lenovo.com/us/en/solutions/ht103159. Also check what programs are running in the background on the computer. Be sure only the programs you want running in the background are. These programs will drain the battery. Here is a link to information about how to find out what programs are running in the background on your Windows 10 computer and how to manage them for better system performance: https://www.windowscentral.com/how-prevent-apps-running-background-windows-10. Then, finally, be sure any software you installed is compatible with Windows 10. Incompatible software will drain the battery at a faster rate. 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 the problem persists, we recommend you contact Lenovo Legion Ultimate Support for additional help at: 888-278-9707. Lenovo

    DETAILED REVIEW THIS LAPTOP IS A GEM

    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    I am completely new to the pc gaming world, I usually play on switch or console and I wanted to make the switch to pc. I’ll be starting college soon and I wanted to get a new laptop because I didn’t have one so I thought why not get a gaming laptop. I did sooo much research to finally decide on this like I stayed up researching for many long nights and after about a month I was finally able to decide on this Lenovo laptop. This laptop is everything I wanted and more. I wanted a laptop that would be fitting for school as well as my gaming hobby and this is the perfect laptop for it. Don’t let that comment make you think it’s not for professional gaming as it will suffice for your streaming and content creating needs. The graphics are great and if you don’t like the colors (which I am okay with) you can tweak and edit the appearance to your desire in the laptops detailed settings. The laptop, like EVERY gaming laptop I’ve researched does work it’s fans as expected and does get pretty warm but it’s not anything unbearable or crazy. The only time the laptop makes Louder fan noises is when it’s doing something that is demanding such as updating or downloading. But if the fans are in issue for you, you can change the way the system uses the fans in the built in lenovo app that basically has controls to your laptops features which includes the rgb keyboard and the laptops specs. So far I’ve been able to play the games I did on my switch and the improvement is mind boggling. This laptop has seriously stepped up the game for me and I’m so glad I chose it. I recommend this laptop to anyone who is debating getting it it’s seriously a gem. I’ll do an update after using it for an elongated period of time.

    I actually purchased more computer than I really needed, but that's so as I grow it will be able to fulfill my future needs. What I discovered about this Laptop with the AMD RYZEN 7 Processor is that in combination with the AMD Radeon and NVIDIA GEFORCE RTX GRAPHIC'S, it definitely display's a better image than my 65" SAMSUNG Flat Screen. I would have assumed that the SAMSUNG would not be outdone on picture quality, but this Laptop proved to have an even better display. As far as games go, I still like the old retro game, Unreal Tournament 2004 and that was displayed with ease and the sound is awesomely better than I expected. LENOVO seems to be a favorite of mine so far because this is my 2nd, and the last one it replaced was purchased in 2015. I only gave that one up because it has a broken hinge and this one is built with better material's than the other one I have replaced. Gaming style Laptop's and Desktop's are the way to go because they will always exceed my expectation's and need's! My original intention's were to purchase the LEGION with the AMD RYZEN 5 Processor, but when I was ready to buy, it seemed to disappear on the Best Buy Web Site. It reappeared 2 day's after my purchase. I wonder if they were hiding it from me so that I would buy the more expensive model? Either way,...I am happy!!! The battery life was less than what I expected, but then it's a Gaming Style Laptop!

    The Good: Good value for the level of performance. Esthetically pleasing machine. Nice Keyboard and solid display for darker games. The Windows 11 install was a breeze. The So So: As with most Gaming machines this thing runs hot and the fan kicks in often. It is a bit of a brick. That said, that's what you should expect from a higher performance machine in this form factor. The Bad: Cleaning up the preloaded bloatware took a bit of more time than expected.

    As usual with the Legion line, the build quality is very solid. The keyboard is great for typing, one of the best. And the screen is very good compared to other budget laptops out there. The CPU is super powerful, but 8Gb of RAM is small, but you can upgrade it down the road. The GPU is fine for 1080p gaming. Battery life is typical for gaming laptops - it is not portable per se, mostly desktop replacement
