Legion 5i Pro REVIEW 2022 12th Gen Intel, 3070 Ti, 7th Generation

[@johnsartain4160]

I watched another review right before this one where he said was the best laptop ever and didn't mention the concerns this guy mentioned so thanks for being honest

[@jackyff8]

great review, I like that this does look like just any other sponsored review. This is very helpful that you went into the quality control and built quality. I know not everyone cares because all they are looking for is pure performance. You pointed out that Lenovo has somewhat mediocre customer service which is one dilemma I'm contemplating between this or the 2022 Scar Strix 17" which has the same 3070ti with 150W.

[@TruthReviews]

In the uk you can get 3 year next day repair at your home for around £60 for all three years. Which gives some peace of mind. My only major issue with this is battery life. Having to get to a power outlet within one hour of editing is a real pain at times.

[@44Bigs]

You seem to expect a gaming laptop to have the build quality of something like an X1 or MacBook Pro. That’s not going to happen with this CPU/GPU at this price point.

[@TruthReviews]

I have had several laptops in the last year alone. I have a video coming out comparing the best selling 7 laptops on the market and this had the worse screen of them all by far. So I am going based on all these laptops plus the other dozen I have had in the last couple of years.

[@stefano78]

@Forward Go Completely agree, I've watched a lot of reviews on the the L5Pro and other gaming laptops and saying this reviewer has no clue is pretty on point.

[@gafitas05]

[@adamdurham16]

It’s a 300watt power brick.. it’s a gaming laptop first of all. But another reviewer talked with Lenovo rep and asked about it specifically and it’s because Lenovo tested it with usb keyboard and phone charging among other things to make sure the battery wasn’t drained at all even while plugged in under heaviest loads.

[@LOOTLORD605]

Yeah that too,totally forgot about that.

[@jackyff8]

Another question I wanted to ask is about the screen color quality. Since you can compare it side by side with the G15 for comparison, how is the Legion's 100% SRGB vs the Asus G15's DCI-P3? Do you notice the Asus's P3 color gamut superior vs the Lenovo?

[@TruthReviews]

Even side by side not really. When next the XPS 17 though I did notice it.

[@WindmanTECH]

this ASUS with which you compare has tgp TYLO 100W and no MUX. Even the RTX3060 130W has better results !

[@TruthReviews]

It’s the only other gaming laptop I had to hand and I know it was Dave2D’s personal use laptop and awarded laptop of the year by a lot of people for 2021 so thought it would give an indication of performance. Will try comparing to the Legion 7 with 3080 for the update next week. Hopefully I can get my hands on one.

[@WindmanTECH]

@@TruthReviews Great, I'll be waiting. I am also waiting for this version to appear in Poland to test it. In Forza Horizont 5 it is better because the legion 5 PRO with RTX3060 has only 65 FPS, but this game prefers Intel processors

[@Max_Mustermann]

I have the previous year's model and luckily it is very easy to turn off the backlight on the Y logo, so the "gameriness" isn't really a problem. Getting a model without an RGB backlit keyboard also helps.

[@Arielle_Plays]

ASUS ROG Strix G17 (2022) or Lenovo Legion 5 Pro (2022). Both 3070 ti and ryzen 7 6800H, which one has better cooling system?

[@TruthReviews]

From what I have read the strix doesn’t seem to go above 80. The legions fans were pretty much always active. Even at idle with no programs open.

[@gortegap]

Hi ! The place where you rest your wrist while writting is made of aluminium or plastic? Thank you

[@yazilimcionline]

If there is no 300w adapter, your battery will decrease even if it is plugged in while playing high power games. This puts a load on the battery. I wish it was 340 400w :D

[@TruthReviews]

😂 I just wish the size was smaller and they had said this year the charger would be slim line but it is the exact same.

[@yazilimcionline]

@@TruthReviews yep i have a 2021 pro with same charge brick 😁 By the way, if there is a lot of clouding on the screen. Tilt the monitor 45 degrees and tap it on the back. Mostly it will pass. there was zero clouding and light bleed when i got it but it happened to me after wiping the screen. the wave had risen on the black ground. Tried it and it worked. I discovered it by accident. :D

[@S3lix0]

no wonder that rtx 3070 ti in lenovo wins over 3080 in asus. Asus has a poor tdp and no mux switch. Rtx 3070 140w was already bit rtx 3080 in this asus.

[@Taylormade2350]

It depends on what Asus you get. It's hilarious how people today expect a 180w 3080 in a slim and light. If you want full performance then don't buy a slim laptop. Pretty simple.

[@user-vc5iu5ch3s]

hi, what's your 3d mark time spy score?

[@JustrazJD]

I have this exact laptop for a few days now, i have seen none of the QC issues you have mentioned. Though I bought it in Germany, might be different quality control.

[@SimoBenziane]

Hello, I would love to get this as well. but the battery is pretty important to me how is it? Video conferencing, steaming etc..?

[@chirag_cc]

How is the power brick? 300W? Last year's model had 300W brick. And that too was too heavy bulky and fat. 2022 model? How's it?

Ooph that rattle and backlight bleeding is really bad. And then you saying the customer service is bad, has me tempted to go for a MSI laptop.

[@Abhi-qn4xv]

Just have 2 questions: -how lighter/portable is it. Last year legion 5 pro was chunky fat boy and difference between legion and asus g15 was huge. How much lighter is it when compared to last year model and asus g15( I think g15 is still more portable but is the difference too big between new legion and asus). - how good is the battery life on legion 5i Pro. I amm seeing that new 12th gen Intel chips are not good at battery life even last gen amd chips are having better battery life. Can it give atleast 6-7 hours of battery on light usage(browsing and note taking during college, just don't want to carry that big charger)

[@paradoxparadox3925]

I want to ask you a question. I had to return 2 Lenovo brand laptops. I wonder if this problem is also present in the new Legion. For example, you quickly typed a word on the computer. When you try to type the same word again after 10 seconds, it does not write the first or second letter. can you test it? When you want to write the same word quickly with a 10-second interval, do you write the second word completely?

[@TruthReviews]

Just tested it. Doesn’t do this. I tested it in chrome, mail and word.

Personally I got a Legion 5 with a 3070 and 5800H for £1200, everything's perfect with the screen and touchpad so I'm very happy, but you got a great deal 👍. I was also tempted by the Asus G15 Strix Advantage Edition with the 6800m but didn't think it worth the extra £350.

I have L5P, so 3070 is 140W and 5800H feels like Intel Celeron. I wish it was with 12700H CPU, would not feel so limited. It gets over 30% better score also in CPU tests. I have changed ram too in L5P. Will upgrade to 12700K+3070Ti. ps. Paid 1199e for 5 Pro.

[@steveco1800]

@@anttimaki6633 I wouldn't complain at that price, I'm sure the Intel L5P is a lot more and the 5800H isn't that bad! I do get the impression it bottlenecks the GPU at times, but it's usually at decent framerates and I cap them at 60 anyway using v-sync so the fan doesn't get too loud. I swapped out the RAM with some Kingston Fury Impact CL20 which really improved the performance (even at 60 fps the old RAM caused stutter in some games). I'd wait until the 4000 and RDNA3 GPUs hit laptops before upgrading.

Honestly the 'back-light bleeding' looks like normal IPS glow. It isn't noticeable (at least on the video) in any of the games.

[@TruthReviews]

It is not noticeable when playing games full screen but when watching anything 16:9 with black borders or working in photos in photoshop where the corners are dark it is very noticeable. In real life it is worse than it looks in this vide. Hopefully the replacement will be better.

You can get this for around £1,500 as they have a 10% off sale every other day. The jump this year has been pretty big compared to last year. Personally I would get this years model. The again last years model is currently 20% off and can be had for £1,239 in the UK. Personally I think the extra £260 for a better CPU and much better graphics card is worth it.

I received it yesterday. Pro: 16:10 Screen, excellent performance, fan noise barely noticeable while doing office work or surfing the web and no high pitch noise or coil whining, enough ports and thunderbolt 4, works right out of the box very well with win11. Cons: light trackpad wobble ( like my 2000€ Dell XPS 15),the trackpad is too small, the plastic surface feels cheap, numpad in a gaming laptop? and I have strong backlight bleeding in 3 corners. I will keep it as desktop replacement unit. Got it for 1750€ and can live with the issues. Overall its a real good package and it works well with my Dell WD19TB dock over thunderbolt.

I watched 1sec of the video and I noticed it is best, because it has Intel+Nvidia. AMD is trash.

[@gafitas05]

in desktop maybe, but in laptops AMD is better, and im an intel fanboy, i always use intel, but i was disappointed by intel processors in laptops: 1. They get too hot, more than amd, they can reach 100 degrees. 2. The battery life is too short, max 5 hours if you're lucky, but in this model you don't even reach 4 hours. The advantage is that the performance is higher and you have thunderbolt 4.0.

@@anttimaki6633 what I am saying is from my experience friend, I have tried the ryzen 5 and 7 of a friend, and I have tried the i5, i7 and i9, 10 generation, i7-11800H and the i7-12 generation of my cousin, and for that come to that conclusion, and laptops with intel processors are disgusting, and as a good fan of intel I have to say, I'm not talking about desktop, I'm talking about laptops, intel has to improve a lot its processors for laptops, especially with the temperature, it is not normal for a latop to exceed 100 degrees, is it? Because in the amd models none passed 85 degrees in both the cpu and the gpu.

I had been waiting for it for about 2 months after its announsment, but due to not being relised as promised even in China (where I am right now) I decided to buy MSI VECTOR GP76, 17" 1440p/240HZ, 1T, with the same CPU GPU. And GPU TDP on mine is 150. 32 DDR4. Dont know if it was a right or wrong decision, cuz never got a chance to play around with this Legion to give it a fair comparison, but I really enjoy my beast of a laptop. Great build quality! It does get hot thou... Which is probably impossible to avoid now on any powerfull machine, I guess.... Thanx for the review!

I would rather get this than any msi product. Legion has much better QC than msi. Msi is famous for horrible QC.

ThinkPad still has the best build quality in the industry.

[@Chris-ru7cy]

Maybe it's not being picked up well by the camera and is an issue like you say, but to me that IPS glow looks totally normal and not bad at all. If you roll the dice for another it might be worse. Also, yeah, these have poor trackpads - I had the 2021 version and it's garbage compared with my 2015 MacBook Pro - Use a mouse. I have the white one on order - Long wait and pricer but really wanted that colour with the blue backlit keyboard. These Legions have excellent keyboards but I also have a HHKB Snow White that I want to use with it, hence having to order the matching white laptop (yes, I am a tart). BTW if you ever upgrade the RAM get DDR4 32 or 64 GB instead of DDR5, as DDR4 is still as fast or faster (and cheaper). For people asking silly questions in the comments: Try watching the video first, yeah? And in response to anyone saying they want the 240Hz variable refresh rate option (confusing marketing by Lenovo on this anyway): In the UK this exact model is pre-built and in-stock, not a custom order with selectable options, so you have to go with the 165Hz screen, which is still plenty fast.

[@stefano78]

Agreed, the 2021 L5Pro's panel is terrific (I have one) and I presume the base model of the 2022 version has the same panel. The trackpad, as you say, is poor, agreed as well.

[@solver55]

track pad is criminally small

Mine is being delivered tomorrow. £1700 But gutted to hear you got it for £200 less! i7 12700H RTX 3070ti 1TB SSD 16GB DDR5 RAM It’s a good deal as I was about to buy a Legion 7 with inferior spec for around the same price. I’m not bothered about a less than quality tracking pad, and power brick. I use the laptop as desktop replacement with a mouse and always plugged in if gaming.

[@TruthReviews]

That exact same config had been 10% off numerous times in last week. I would call them and ask them to refund the difference next time it’s on. If they say no order it again and return it if the £200+ is worth it to you.

Lenovo definitely performs way better. I think it will still over perform the new 2022 g15. HOWEVER, I personally hate the look of it. The g15 is just way better looking. The tacky chassis would also bother me quite a bit. So sure I think Lenovo 5 pro is great but they sacrificed build quality and aesthetics for performance. The g15 performs amazing enough but looks awesome. Also the g15 still uses amd. So this seems more of a Intel win as well.

[@TruthReviews]

Their customer service is poor. I remember having to open a PayPal case against them because they would not refund the warranty on a laptop order I cancelled because they delayed shipment by a month. They also have zero interest in sorting out issues in terms of advance replacements or not making you wait a month for a replacement if anything goes wrong with an in demand item.

[@nebuzstar]

Name a better company. Ever dealt with HP ? No ? You have to send anything to Poland and it takes weeks for repair. You always call people in India.. they speak another language. I never had any issues with warranty/service through their local lenovo partners. Mostly all repairs where done within days. They order the parts from netherland warehouse, they arrive next day and repair is done. There was a time where any part came directly from HK, this was terrible. But now they have most parts in netherlands. Maybe local UK problem, as always after you decide to left the EU. All onlineshop problems are related to digitalriver. Lenovo has nothing to do with this.

[@goldmastersimulations]

The 2022 Legion 5 Pro refresh is not worth it. 2021's Legion 5 Pro with Ryzen 7 5800H has better value without losing much performance. My 2021 Legion 5 Pro with 64GB DDR4 has a score of 13000 in Cinebench R23 multi-core. The RTX 3070 Ti is around regular mobile 3080 level. That's only around 5-15fps more in most of the games that Jarrod's Tech has tested. Every 2021 Legion 5 Pro had a 165Hz QHD screen. The WUXGA (1920x1200) and 240Hz screen were mediocre additions. It would've been better to increase the DCI-P3 coverage to 100% and Adobe RGB to 80-85% for this refresh. With that color accuracy, you'd be getting a MacBook Pro's screen in this laptop minus the miniLED and without the smearing MacBooks have while scrolling. Depending on your country, 2021 AMD L5P will be way cheaper. You can already find 2021 L5P deals at sub-$1600 price point in the US for not much less real-world performance.
