Lenovo - Legion 5 - Gaming Laptop - AMD Ryzen 7 5800H - 16GB RAM - 512GB Storage - NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3050Ti - 15.6" FHD Display - Windows 11 Home - Phantom Blue

This laptop was $1,200 or so when I got it. Unbelievable it's half that now. Still, this thing still works on a dime and is more powerful than I expected!Want to do some video editing? It can do it, and we'll! Want to play some Baldurs Gate 3? Yeah. It can do that, ultra settings too - just have some good air flow.Want a several applications on at once and don't want your screen to freeze? Yup. Smooth.The specs are top tier for its day and on a budget for a gaming laptop, this'll do. I'd like to upgrade eventually, but I'm very happy with this machine!The charger is a bit heavy though, keep that in mind if you want to do some travelling or get a couple cords so you can have a couple stationary areas you can work.Did I mention how many ports it has?

I have built my own computers since 1999. I know what I want in them and how much it's gonna cost me. I never buy the latest stuff, I keep it about a year old and has served me well. But this time after a friend's advice I dove into the gamin laptop and am very pleased. No it's not the legion 7 but it's new and has what I need. Quick fire up, minimal bloat software, slapped in another 1 TB drive, created my local account, updated everything, loaded MW and I was off to the races. Great machine. I will be getting the 80 watt battery to give it the power boost it needs to really open it up. Very happy. We'll worth it and highly recommend.8/23Quick update. This laptop is great. I have the HDR setting turned on with no issues. 4k will only run at 60 fps but the picture is outstanding and doesn't really task the processor or vid card. I recommend the RAM upgrade. It comes with 16 gig of ddr4 and is actually the sweet spot for most everything but boosting to 32 gig of ddr4 really gives it a lot more breathing room to perform.I would get a stand or something for airflow. I love AMD but they are a hot runner compared to Intel. But this thing does have an awesome cooling system as long as you've got the bottom vents unobstructed. Heat is the enemy.Windows 11 is actually a very good OS. I found a cheap metal stand that works perfect. I work in Engineering IT and have delt with every os since win 95 so seen the good and the bad.Just my 2 cents and hope it helps some folks

Also known as the kid transporter. I swear I had a son before this lovely beast of a laptop arrived, but since then I can only ever hear faint shouts of suffering as he dies again in Fortnite. At least now he can’t say that it’s because the hardware is lagging, he just needs to “git gud”Good power, good specs, quiet. You can always chase the dragon for more and more top end this or that, but this laptop can hang in there and get the job done. Good for school, work or play.

Here is my Lenovo Legion 5 with an AMD Ryzen 7 5800H, and 3050ti GPU. It came with 16 gigs of ram and I upgraded to 32. It's been dropped, overused, taken apart, put back together, and is on its 2nd screen replacement. The track pad hasn't worked for a few weeks so I use a wireless mouse, and there's a weird space between the screen and frame because it's missing the metal supports inside (I got rid of em thinking the first new screen would come with them). Some things on the inside are bent outta shape but I'll leave em alone since it works fine. There's been times where I dropped it and it turns off or freezes up, but when I restart it it's fine. The lid is slightly bent, and the bottom part (the plastic casing that comes off) has tons of pitting and scratches around the edges because I use a big knife to pry it open whenever I open it up. I've replaced both screens myself, and the first time I did, I forgot to disconnect the battery, throwing sparks when I tried reconnecting the old screen (which was already broken, and after that was more broken). It still runs all my games amazingly (mostly physics sims like Flyout, Simple Rockets 2, From the Depths, etc. I also have beamng (lower graphics settings) and war thunder. I've had it for 2 years and it's still going strong. I plan on keeping it for a year or two more. I could afford a new one but I'll probably wait till this croaks. I will always buy Lenovo.TL;DR Abused and tortured laptop has lasted two years

If you want a newer laptop but don't want to break the bank. As of June 2022 i think it's a good buy

I had been looking at this specific computer for a while and was going to buy it directly from Lenovo since the price matched the one here on Amazon. But that was the base model with a worse graphics card, screen, refresh rate, ext. I don’t remember well anymore because I got it almost two months ago but there was 5 or 6 higher end features that would have cost nearly $2000 if I had gotten it directly from Lenovo. The battery life is poor and it can’t go more than two hours of use without being plugged in, and in video games it performs significantly worse unplugged than plugged in. But putting that annoyance aside the machine works great and is a beast at running games. I’ve yet to get a game that it wouldn’t run over 60fps and it runs warzone on max graphics at around 115-125 frames. I’m not being paid to say this so you can trust my review if you’ve read this far. It’s a good investment if you aren’t too concerned about battery life.
