Lenovo Legion 5i Review - It's Still Too Good!

[@MatthewMoniz]

Legion 5 is keeping things the same and I'm fine with that. What do you guys think? Also if you missed it I reviewed the Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Extreme Gen 5 which you can find here - kzbin.info/www/bejne/b5LGYouagbOqZ5Y

[@aninfinitemindofmusicandreams]

I bought the 2022 Legion 5i a few days ago. My specs are RTX 3060, 16GB DDR5, i7 12700H, 1440p and 165hz. Absolute monster of a portable machine, beautiful to look at, premium in every way and gets the job done for everything I need it to do from music production work, graphics design work and gaming. Couldn't be happier with it and I don't see myself upgrading for the next 3-4 years

[@tsozohoshi6182]

Any idea how good it’d be for programs like blender and maya? Considering getting the same variant myself but contemplating whether I should get this 3060 over a 3070 laptop like the hp omen 16 for around the same price.

[@aninfinitemindofmusicandreams]

@@tsozohoshi6182 Blender is what I use. I'm still learning it and new to it but it's absolutely fantastic for it and renders my scenes and images in no time. You could get a little more out of a 3070 with the same CPU, though as far as I know the 3070 on the Omen is a lower TDP one. Won't matter as much for rendering work but might matter for gaming depending on your needs. Regardless, you couldn't go wrong with a Legion or an Omen

[@aninfinitemindofmusicandreams]

@@tsozohoshi6182 Actually scratch that, the lower TDP might have been the case for the 2021 model but I'm not sure about the Omen 2022 model. Check the TDP of the card before you buy if it matters to you

got a Legion 5 in mid 2020, been rock solid since day 1. literally zero issue. 10/10 would absolutely recommend.

[@jordanhermant659]

I am happily using a Legion 7 for both work and play. One HUGE difference between the Legion and Asus/Gigabyte is that you can order both an extended and onsite factory warranty from Lenovo - up to 4 years! When you're doing everything with a single laptop, any warranty that makes you send the unit away for service is pointless because you're going to be without your laptop for weeks. I feel this feature should be emphasized more since there are a lot more workers/students using a single laptop for everything.

[@iosdeals]

I have the 2021 5Pro, best laptop I ever had. I use it as a desktop replacement, it is very silent while I work, and also rather unobtrusive when gaming, especially if you lift it up with some laptop stand that has some vents/cutouts. If the 2 side usb-c ports both support displayport out, then you can easily connect 4 external monitors (I ran 3 external for a while, 1hdmi, 2x usb-c---dp, I have a 3060 and it handled all very well). The display is probably the best display I ever had, perfect aspect ratio, very bright, very color accurate. If I will be replacing this, it will be probably another Legion laptop. For people who don't want a big box on their table but want to game as well as use it as a workstation, this really is one of the best options, considering the price.

[@jiridvorak]

5Pro is beast. Have it for 1 and hlaf year- Suddenly one day no power coming in and LED on back didnt light. Service replaced motherboard and even power source. 2 weeks for repair. But cost of replace (motherboard + PSU) = 1800 USD ! Luckily this cover warranty, bad in case warranty is over, i can throw this laptop to bin. Found on reddit many users have issue with dead motherboard.:(

It doesn't get hot, about 86 degrees BUT it's because it's limited to hit 86 no matter how hard you push it. You can see that in MSIAfterburner, it keeps hitting the "thermal limit" in the GPU. I tested this by overclocking to 1920mhz and it still would only hit 86. I undervolted and underclocked to 1550mhz and it still would hit 86. So I believe that Lenovo has this set to only go that high so it won't overheat no matter what.

[@JoeMaranophotography]

87 degrees is the max an nvidia gpu will go and that's actually pretty bad temperature wise. You want to be 10 degrees below that ideally.

[@DaBrown101]

@@JoeMaranophotography if what you say is true then yes that's not cool. But I only mention that is because everyone that reviews this laptop always says "and it doesn't run so hot" even tho it hits 86 no matter what speed the GPU runs at so in my opinion, if it always hit 86 and it doesn't go over that, then just overclock it and let it run at 86 always

Hi Matthew, great video. I was just wondering if this specific variant would be good for 3d modeling and animation in programs like maya and blender. I was initially planning for a 3070 laptop but fell in love with the build quality of the legion. And since legions are generally more expensive than it’s peers, it’s price falls along the line of some 3070 laptops i was interested in like the Hp Omen 16. Would u say it’s still a worthwhile purchase choosing a 3060 over a. 3070?

[@LSHD_]

Hello, I personally use 3D modelling & rendering as my benchmark for performance. As the laptops GPUs are slightly lower spec vs desktops, it would be better to get the higher/est GPU you can afford with at least 8GB of VRAM. 6GB is ok for most, but as your project gets larger (it will), that extra 2GB will come in handy. Also, upgrade your RAM to 32MB, and get an extra Storage to use as a swap file. TDLR: 3060 laptop = 3050 desktop, 3070 laptop = 3060 desktop as a general guide. Also, look for models with higher TDP for GPUs to get maximum output. Hope this helped.

Hi. It will be so nice of you to help me with this, I'm deciding to buy a Lenovo legion Laptop however i don't really know which model to choose? . ✅️ Whether 2022 Lenovo legion 5i pro with i7 12700h and RTX 3070 or 2023 Lenovo legion pro 5i with i7 13700hx and RTX 4070; considering the fact that the 2023 model is quite more expensive which one you recommend? . ✅️ In terms of hardware specifications, I think RTX 3070 is better, for example, it has a memory bus width of 256 bits, while RTX 4070 is 128 bits, and I think the number of Cuda and Tensor cores are the same with 3070, and these are not much different, and even the 30 series may be better. . ✅️ I may occasionally play video games, but I also have heavy engineering software that requires a powerful CPU and GPU. . ✅️ Another question is that will the DLSS 3 and upcoming updates come for RTX 3070 or not? What do you think? . ✅️ Also, i've heard about a new feature called Frame Generation or FG is also provided in RTX series 40 and it seems that it is only for this series 40 and does not include the previous series, is that right? . ✅️ And is it true about FG that unlike DLSS it is not sensitive to the CPU Bottleneck issue? In many games, the FG option is available by default and can be turned on. . ✅️ So does FG really work and give a higher FPS experience, or are the rumors about it true that it is not of good quality? (It is said that DLSS cannot work properly if you have a CPU bottleneck, right?) . Which model should i buy from these two laptops, so that it has good power and enough FPS in running games that would be enough for the next few years and could perform well in heavy engineering softwares? . I apologize for my long comment, Thank you very much. 🙏

If you’re okay with the looks, you can’t beat a Legion (if you get a good sale price). Easy to upgrade, great temps, great screens (other than that cheap 120hz one from 2020/2021). Currently running a 2021 5 Pro 5800h/3070 and it’s so good I ended up selling my 12600k/6800xt desktop because realistically I didn’t need it. Only game that struggled was MS Flight but with DLSS 🤷‍♂️

same exact specs (with FHD and 1TB) 1099$ on BnH right now

[@donaldwiggins7740]

I just ordered this from costco @ 1099 tonight. has a 4 year warranty from costco (2 year costco, 2 years from costco cc) I really hope this will be great for me. I dont have. gaming laptop or rig, I just want one for gaming and old emulators. I dont need maxed out settings, high is fine for me. should the 3060 last me 3-4 years on medium/high?

[@sailendrasahoo1353]

Whats the max storage limit we can upgrade in this laptop? and can we use gen 3 ssd for upgrade in that extra slot?

[@hesamghalandary6113]

Hi there Matthew, so my question is for a guy who just plays aaa games and wants smooth gameplay and ok to decent graphics, is 3060 enough for next 5 or six years? I mean i know it will be challenged in ultra settings, and I'm ok with high and Even medium, and should i be worried about the gpu temperature on this laptop? Because it's a little warmer than most others with 3060

[@rickystafford7433]

nice machines…too thick and heavy for me but great value for what they are. I don’t really understand a numpad on a gaming laptop either…why not put better speakers

[@CallMeCJorDandy]

thanks man this review is clean , this my target laptop this year , customer service in local seller says its the recommended "medium price" of the top-of-the-top expensive laptops they sell

[@WildfireX]

It's such a great laptop, but I just can't choose it over the M16. it just looks boring, like it was made for old people & then they give you the RGB options to try and attract younger people. The way the keys look is weird, & the design of it just isn't that nice. Everything else about it, is great. It's a perfectly sensible, & powerful machine. It just doesn't look as good as the M16, and when we're talking about machines that cost £1500~ & basically have the same specs, it ultimately comes down to aesthetics & other slight dealbreakers that each person has.

Nice but if u have 2-21 model is still enough 😀👍 Regards from Europe from my channel 😀👍

Whats the size of the earphone jack? a 3.5mm doesn't fit all the way in causing the right side to not be equal to the left earphone

[@wahlocki]

But does the Legion Fan Control software work? I hear fan noise is shocking.

[@eliad5132]

If you cant afford legion 5 ryzen core its ok to get a legion 5i / intel core 11400 with 16 gb ddr ram

[@doruru66]

Hi there, i'm think of either getting this or the omen 16. The omen 16 came with 3070 and R7 5800h. For gaming and data analysis, which do you recommend?

[@LSHD_]

What's the TDP for the HP Omen? that's what you should look out for too. I think Lenovo is on the high spectrum (100w plus).

[@edwardnoble9897]

Ergh 16:9?! I thought the world had moved on to realize higher is better for productivity. Then again it also has no memory card reader, so I guess we're just shooting content creators in the face these days...

[@meongabingo7577]

this is my dream :>

[@evildhex]

This or the Legion 5 Gen 7?

[@lars2894]

Good laptop but the price has gotten too expensive for being a "budget" model.

[@MatthewMoniz]

Its not considered a budget laptop though.. That would be there IdeaPads. This is in the midrange category

[@lars2894]

​@@MatthewMoniz I would say Legion 5 Pro is "mid-range", Legion 5 15 "low-end", and Ideapad Gaming series are "entry-level". This category used to cost ~$900 for GTX 1060 series a few years ago. Even adjusted for inflation and taking into account ongoing supply crisis, $1400 is too much of a price increase.
