Thank you for the amazing review. I haven't bought a PC in over 20 years and I'm doing research on one for my kid, and your review has helped me a lot!
Hey! this was a great review. Just a tip to make the review more pleasing to the eye is to maybe add some plants (they can be fake) to the backdrop since everything kind off falls into the same color palette. Loved the review though keep it up!
This is a brilliant display of scientific analysis of this device. In full disclosure, I recently purchased the Costco i7-(10750), 16 RAM, Nvidia 6GB 1660 GTX for~$1G. Thank you profusely for your review.
Gorgeous machine! I couldn't find the 500 nits model, though. Also, I think I'll wait for the AMD version to get the 1660 Ti configuration. Thanks for the review! 😚

Excellent review Lon. This machine is my charismas present from my self. I purchased this unit for $500.00 in BB. I received a $300.00 gift card from work and I think even at $800.00 still a barging.

Hello there! I have one question, The adapter which comes in the box is of 230W so will it work in India?? I am planning to buy this from US. Please Help:)
Help!! I don't have access to display settings in NVIDIA control panel i can't change aspect ratios of games. And i also don't have default intel graphics settings when i right click on desktop. Model Legion 5i
There is some logic behind this though. Lenovo re-named the Legion models more simpler with the 7i, 5, 5i and the "Ideapad gaming 3". The I would obviously stand for Intel so that the AMD & Intel versions are easier to identify as a consumer.
i have this config with 16gigs of ram and a second m.2 and a 144hrz monitior its great to have when i'm away from the desktop bought a refurb from microcenter for 1k not a bad machine
Hi Lon! Do you know what monitor display will match that GTX 1660 Ti? Because at 3 min mark you said that the displays are not Gsync supported tho? Would like to clarify about that.
Would you happen to remember the model of this Legion? From what you described and what the specs were, it sounds exactly like my Legion 5I 15imh05h 81y0006dus model. I7-10750H, GTX 1660TI. However, are you sure that this had 8gb of Vram? Because if it was the same exact model as mine, then it would have only had 6gb of Vram..
Very well rounded review. Keep this up and hopefully you shall be one of the top channels soon. BTW I am unable to find the Gsync version on the Lenovo US website. Which country is it available in?
Hello! I buy this PC today, so I would like to know... What mean "for a little bit extra money zoned RGB keyboard" (5:05)? I must pay more when buying PC or it`s like a prise of a program that "unlock" this function?
Great review. I bought this a week ago (RTX 2060 version) and waiting for it to come in. I would suggest using new more demanding games for your benchmarking though.
@@samilnaml7636 yes, I got it and it's amazing. I haven't used it for creative editing yet...but have run all my AAA games and below at 60FPS or more. It sits on top of a 240mm fan cooler pad, which I run at max speed, and I don't hear the cooler pad or laptop much at all.
Okay so I am looking at the Lenovo Legion 5i and I was wondering if someone could help me find a good setup. I am a little older so I am on my sons account and he helped me find this server. I haven’t ever bought a laptop before and I am trying to find the best setup for this Lenovo laptop for him. I want to buy him this for Christmas and so I want it to be good for the games he plays. He plays some games called Red Dead Redemption 2 and Sea Of Thieves on his Xbox and says they are pretty graphically demanding so I want this to be able to run it at at least his Xbox’s level of FPS which is around 60 I think. Can anyone help me?
@@RakeshKumarGrandhi sorry I got the hp omen 15 i7-2070 after all. With the 70.9Wh battery it gives me around 3 hours BUT without any measure for power saving. Haven't tested on power saver, lower brightness etc. So I guess on this with the 80Wh it should give 4-5 hours for sure. Don't own it though so I might be wrong.
i was just at Costco trying out this exact model. I can tell you that the screen flex is pretty much non existent. im the kind of person who pokes and prods and peeks into every detail of a laptop and the build quality of this machine felt surprisingly rock solid for a smaller brand. much more solid compared to the MSI competition (one of the best laptop brands out there). So if youre wanting something that feels sturdy, it definitely wont disappoint you.
ATTENTION ! please, thank you 🙏! So I am going to University and am going to need a laptop to work with, and it is engineering, so I’ll need a good graphic card. I was wondering if this Laptop would do it, I know it’s originally for gaming, but can I use it to work on documents and stuff? If you have this one or know a lot about it, please help!! Thank you!!
Hi, should i buy this laptop with the ryzen 7 4800H version & 144Hz panel or get the intel version. My uncle who sells laptops tell my that intel cpu is more durable than the amd. Is he correct? What should i do ?
Hi, I just bought the Legion 5 for 960$. 144hz, 300 nits, 16 RAM, 512 SSD, 1660ti, Ryzen 7 4800H. I would like to buy an 1TB hard drive for this laptop. My questions is, what is the size for this laptop model? is it 2.5 inch?. I don't want to buy one and then it won't fit.
Here is the weird thing, I usually cap the framerate to about 2-3 frames less than the max. So in this case I did 117. I tried a game and was hitting 117 according to the fps counter. I moved around the screen and I noticed tearing halfway on the screen. Now here is the weird part. If I do not cap it, I did not notice tearing, unless I looked for it closely. I was hitting about 200 fps. Usually the opposite holds true. Go figure :(
Yesterday I ordered the 5i with the intel processor, 16GB of ram with the 17 inches screen for the university but obviously with the objective of content creation and some gaming. I have good expectations!
@@LonSeidman Huh? No need for the umpteenth silly useless Ubu fork. I was only wondering coz you usually boot your test machines up in Linux just to see if they are compatible. But you missed it with this Lenny Legion. :/
I have 5i with rtx2060 with Debian bullseye & nvidia 450.57 driver. Still fighting with PRIME with external 4k monitor but slowly getting there. Also experiencing somewhat higher power consumption from wifi (iwlwifi).. powertop says something between 6 to 16 watts just for wifi, according to external wattmeter whole laptop takes about 25w idle, without WiFi it's about 15w which means powertop is right. These problems will go away after some updates/work (firmware/bios/drivers/settings). Overall I'm happy, have it only 14 days now. Looks like quiet solid machine.
But honestly Lenovo isn't a very long lasting reliable brand. And if you really want to game just wait and get a Series X for $500 or Ps5 for $400-$500...no brainer duh...and much more power for gaming. Gaming laptops just don't last, I don't even know anyone who games on them. ???? And for even the price of this on sale ......$799 at best buy, you could get both consoles.
I see where you're coming from, but also there's some small stuff that you can do on a pc you can't do on consoles like installing mods, that and, for me at least, the portability is part of what makes it so attractive.
