Lenovo Legion 5i (2024) | Explosive 16-Inch Gaming Laptop

The Lenovo Legion 5i has been updated for 2024 and this 9th generation 16-inch gaming laptop boasts 14th Gen Intel® Core™ processor performance, plus Nvidia RTX 4000 series visuals. While the Lenovo Legion 5i isn't the most portable new gamer notebook, it's certainly one of the most powerful.

If you're after a beefy laptop with strong specs for a respectable price, this is an option well worth considering. That 16-inch IPS display boasts a crisp QHD resolution, with Dolby Vision HDR support. You've also got up to 240Hz maximum refresh with, of course, full VRR support - and the Lenovo Legion 5i 2024 pumps out glorious audio from the stereo speaker setup.

Intel's Core i7 14659HX powers this Lenovo gaming laptop, backed by a generous 32GB of DDR5 5600 RAM. The Legion 5i 2024 offers up to 170W TDP plus Nvidia’s GeForce RTX 4000 series laptop GPU. That's up to the 4070.

Check out my tour for the rest of the specs of the Lenovo Legion 5i.

It's an ad! Don't call it a review man.

[thecrisis]

Although it's a sponsored video, I like Lenovo and all the stuff they make

[kpcassell]

You can tell the difference between a review & an advertisement sponsored by the manufacturer. But still good stuff from mister spurt.

[YOO-KAMBA]

I like watching videos about expensive things i can't afford 🙃

[abduresaid]

1:38 where is the thunderbolt? Did you make it up or did you assume it, because this laptop or any of the legion series except the 7 series don't have thunderbolt since 2021. I am sure this is an ad read but you need to make sure your information is up to date

[funkyphonicsmonkey]

Obviously, I appreciate needing to make a living, but it would be nice to have non sponsored reviews as opposed to sponsored product tours.

[Hikari_to_Yuri]

You know it's a sponsored tech spurt video when it's a laptop. I'll stay for the banter about beer and your mom 😊

Is the legion pro 5i really loud after some time?

Bro said " i have been gaming in this laptop 💻 instead of picking up my kid from the school or sleeping !" 😂😂

Legion is really powerful, and pricy. Still love Lenovo stuff though.

When making these commercials for gaming laptops you really need to tell people what Wattage the GPU can access because a gimped, low wattage 4070 is no faster than a 4060 supplied with a full power profile..will be £300-400 cheaper and still comes with 8GB of VRAM.

A 4070 needs at least 100w otherwise it's a waste of money.

And this configuration he's testing costs over £2K...so not worth it for a 4070 equipped laptop.

I have one, and I can say the following:
Pros:
*The quality of the materials is good, the laptops feels solid
*The performance is very good
*The screen with its 240 Hz frame rate looks great and smoth.
* Its cooling system works fine, of course it is noisy when I play a demaning game but it is normal.
Cons:
*My computer has a i9 RX4060 and the battery duration is not good, even if I use the low performance mode it is not lasting more than 2 and a half hours with doing basic stuff like using chrome and microsoft office
*The power of the speakers is really low, not what I expected for a 2, 000 buck laptop I am really disappointed in this area

Would be fun with a video collab with mrwhostheboss and you! It would be a collision for sure but in a nice way!

I just bought this Lenovo 5i gen 9, but I'm having some doubts about the rgb lighting for example if I choose a light color to display on the keyboard, some leds in the down part display a different color, not the one I select, it shows a color a little bit green, this only happened with light colors of green, blue and pink. For example if I select solid green, yellow, blue or red theres is no problem. Also I noticed that the last row of keys before the trackpad feels a little bit more hotter for example between the copilot and <left key feels more hotter than other parts of the laptop. Could some one help me to know if this is normal in this type of legion? Or I have to returned it again and ask for another laptop?

[SecretSilence]

Thos is how you do a review if you REALLY need that sponsoring money

[jimheston]

My lenovo legion 5 died after a year and a half. I used to be a big lenovo fan but not now. Unacceptable. Surfed the net and I find I am not alone. I don't trust them anymore. Buyer beware.

[galilelollel]

i recently bought a lenovo i5 with 12500h i think it was and i can only run games on like 40-42 fps soooo i payed 800 for it too so did i pay to much for a trash laptop?

[farisfaishal]

I have a laptop, not exactly a gaming laptop, but it has a 3050 GPU. I want to play some games on it, but I'm still kinda afraid to do it for an extended period. I don't wanna ruin the battery in the long run.
Anyone here has any suggestions, insights or anything to assure me that I'm just overthinking it?

where did you get your wallpapers? they look so awsome!

[aagash]

I'm confused with which laptop to buy in these Loq 14th gen i7-14700hx vs legion pro 5i i7-14650 Hx vs predator helios neo i7-14700 hx ?
