My son is starting college soon and he needed a laptop for both Soldiworks and Games and this was the perfect purchase to meet both ends

Great computer, fast and nice clear screen. Heavy so not great for a backpack

It's a great laptop fast and cool, however i feel the copilot key that replaced the control is useless or there should be option to customize it. Overall it's a great laptop

Very happy with the speed of the system. My old laptop was on its last legs and being able to play newer titles has been really fun. Definitely would recommend.

Never received my product. Fighting with Paypal now about getting my money back. This company took forever to send my item and when they did, they sent it to the incorrect address.

Great performance for the price. Can only tell it's refurbished if you look closely. Battery is good enough. Very happy with purchase.

Perfect for everyday use and going place to place. I love using it. Can handle quite a bit at once. Gaming on it is a blast. Comfortable weight. Don't have a single complaint. Probably my best purchase of the year(s)

The laptop is much quieter than my previous gaming laptop, which I really appreciate. The performance has been fantastic so far also. The build is very sturdy which makes me feel more confident about longevity.

A month in and it's running perfectly. I got it for content development (photos, video, text) with a side of gaming. Games like baulders gate runs perfectly and so does my photo app. If I have one nitpicky complaint it's the battery last about 1.5 hours when I am unplugged but there is not much that can be done about that.

I had nothing of importance to say about the Lenovo's sales procedures or the quality of the Legion computer. What should be addressed is related to making the computer functional. The first difficulty in accomplishing that goal was overcoming the dominance of the touch plate. It took two days to figure out that I needed a mouse and had to find a way to turn off the touch plate. Then the problems of the Windows 11 system came into full view. Microsoft wants everything to be stored in the Cloud. I bought a computer with 1T bytes of memory to be able to have my files stored on my computer. I bought a computer with many connectors to be able to move things from my previous computers to the Legion computer. The File Explorer mostly ignores the need for accessibility to local files. Another issue was incompatibility of connectors to older plugs. That problem was solved with the USB-C 7-in-1 Hub. Importing files has been awkward because of biases in Windows 11. It was necessary to create a home network to connect a laser printer. I am now looking at X-Y plotters to support my research. Setting up the Legion computer has been a challenge. None of the problems have been blamed on Lenovo.

This laptop has been great so far. I have been using it for about a month with no issues. Delivery was speedy with no delays, even during the holidays. I mainly use my laptop for the Adobe Creative Suite, and it can run multiple programs concurrently (Photoshop, Illustrator, InDesign) with no lag. The screen is nice and bright and displays colors well. The keyboard is very comfortable for typing. My only complaint is that the charger for the laptop is very large and heavy. It adds a lot of weight to my backpack when I take my computer to school.

Extremely capable and great for travel. I bought this for the purpose of gaming when traveling and as an alternative for when I need a PC instead of a Mac. The i7/4060 combo along with the screen's attributes have been plenty for my purposes and give me a fully fledged gaming experience while traveling. Paired with the deals from this holiday season, I have yet to see a comparable value anywhere on the market.

Fast and the graphics are great. Fans aren't too loud either. Had some issues running high end games in double monitor set-ups but very rarely and overall, no complaints! Would recommend!

This laptop runs smooth and is very clean. It opens all programs and games with ease and processes very fast. When under a graphic load it heats up but doesn't comprimise preformance. I recomed this laptop.

The Lenovo Legion is a beast when it comes to performance. It handles anything you throw at it, whether it's gaming or intense workloads like machine learning or robotics simulations. The cooling system is solid, which is a huge plus during long sessions-no crazy overheating. The keyboard has a great feel to it, and the display is crisp, making everything look smooth. Battery life could be better, especially when you're pushing it hard, but that's expected with such power under the hood. Overall, it's a great choice if you need something that can handle serious tasks and gaming on the side!

This laptop has been great so far! Runs the games I play without issue. The battery doesn't last very long while gaming and not plugged in and the fans can be loud, but it's a beast that needs to be cooled and I just keep it plugged in. Gaming anywhere in the house is great!

The legion series laptops are a great desktop replacement. The laptops have great specs, very fast and at a fair price. The full size units are not built for a lot of mobile use.

Unfortunately, I had nothing but problems out of the box--starting with app crashes then progressing to looping BSOD and screen flashing. This was within a matter of hours. After attempting to reinstall drivers and Windows multiple times, I made the decision to return. Things only seemed to be getting worse. I ran diagnostics best I knew how, and everything came back as a 'Pass.' The laptop itself was nice to use. The keyboard is lovely and I like that the laptop isn't aggressively "gamer" in style. Very pretty display too. I enjoyed the absence of bloatware and the ease of use of Lenovo Vantage. Would have loved to hold onto this laptop. Almost committed to sending in for repairs, but was worried about missing the return window if things didn't work out. Maybe someone a bit more tech-savvy would be interested in giving this a try. Hope to see this laptop work for others.

The battery last at most an hour for games like ark acended but just plug it in to the wall and it's fine . With a laptop you can't expect a long battery life. Other than that everything is good

This is my second Legion and I love it! It's our 5th Lenovo laptop overall. We own a small business and I take care of creating all our social media assets so having a robust laptop is very important. But, like most small biz owners, we have to keep within our budgets. This fits both needs perfectly. Plus, it's a pretty sexy-looking laptop (love the color-changing back lighting of the keyboard!).

Pleased as punch. This Legion 5i is a very well-performing product that delivers great value for the price. Despite this model not having the top of the line GPU, it still plays titles incredibly well. Starfield, Baldur's Gate 3, Cyberpunk; all are served great visuals and great framerates on the very sharp, vibrant lcd screen at high settings. No dead pixels, bright colors, and only the slightest, barely noticeable backlight bleed make for a beautiful panel. The included nvme drive performs well, good loading times and file copying speeds, and maintains safe temps even when copying a large amount of data. CPU and GPU Temperatures are warm, but within acceptable limits for the hardware, and the keyboard never gets untouchably hot, even with prolonged sessions. They keyboard itself is amazing for a laptop. Key surfaces have a nice texture, and there is a good amount of travel for typing quickly. The 10-key is a touch small, but it's still quite usable. Sound is as expected, the built-in speaker are decent, but not remarkable. External speakers via usb, bluetooth or the audio jack are, of course, an easy improvement. Battery life is better than expected for a gaming laptop, but as no gaming laptop can really push itself on battery, it simply means that casual usage such as web browsing, watching videos, etc. can be sustained for longer. Definitely usable on battery in a pinch. Port availability is good, and having the power and hdmi ports on the back is especially convenient. It would be an improvement to have 3x type C USB ports and 2x Type A usb ports, rather than vice-versa as it's currently equipped, but that's a minor inconvenience and only when you're sitting down plugging 5 things into the machine at once. Adding at least one type C to the right side of the laptop would be a good thing to consider for the next hardware revision. The weight is fine, as heavy as one would expect for a gaming laptop, and the screen lid opens very easily. Fan noise is about average, but fan noise is unavoidable on a gaming laptop with this sort of power. It's not nearly loud enough to overpower even a modest set of headphones or monitors, and is par for the course if you're looking to game on a laptop. In the low-power mode, the fans are barely audible with just web browsing, youtube, discord, etc. All in all, I couldn't be happier. I've owned several Lenovo products in the past, and the continued quality I've experienced was a major factor in purchasing the Legion 5i. I'm glad to say I was not disappointed, as it's lived up to all my expectations and more.
