The Lenovo Legion 5i: A Gaming Laptop with a Display that Delivers

One thing that stood out to me about this laptop is how thin it actually is, which is not something I've said about any other laptop before. It's 15% thinner than last generation, and that's a pretty big deal. I was also happy to see that they were able to redesign the laptop and make some nice changes as a result. One of the new features is called a zero bump hinge, which prevents things like dongles from getting stuck in the ports when you pull the laptop in and out of bags.

Speaking of ports, this laptop has a lot of them - USB Type-C, check; maybe you need to get some adapters for USB Type-A if you're using one. And of course, there's an Ethernet port because, well, that's just good sense. The Nova Legion 5i comes in two colors: gray and cloud gray (if you like those colors). But if you want to customize things a bit more, you've got RGB on the keyboard, which is always nice.

Now, when it comes to phones, I'm very vocal about one thing: display matters. And that's true for most electronics, especially laptops. So, let's take a look at what Lenovo did with the display on this laptop. The screen is 15.6 inches, and it's sporting a high refresh rate - 165Hz, to be exact. That means you'll get plenty of real estate for whatever web browsing or video editing you're doing, and games will look super colorful. I was impressed by how good the display looked, even though I wasn't expecting that.

I also have to give a shout-out to the design on this laptop. It's not bad - Lenovo did a good job with it. And of course, performance is always important when it comes to gaming laptops. So, let's take a look at what's under the hood. The CPU is powered by Intel's 12th gen Core i7 processor, which is a 12-7000H model. This means you'll get great performance and efficiency - the perfect combo for gamers who want to play without overheating or running out of juice.

One thing that I appreciate about this laptop is how seamlessly it switches between power modes. The 12th gen Core i7 processor has something called Intel's Turbo Boost Tech, which will boost frame rates during peak loads. And with Intel's Thread Detector, you won't have to worry about throttling - your gaming will stay smooth and consistent. But what really sets this laptop apart is the GPU - it comes with NVIDIA's RTX 3070 Ti, which gives you a great marriage of CPU and GPU performance.

Overall, if you're looking for a gaming laptop that does everything well and looks good while doing it, the Lenovo Legion 5i is definitely worth considering. I was impressed by the display, the design, and the performance - this laptop really delivers on all fronts.

this is kind of the perfect all in One gaming laptop that does everything really well and it looks pretty good while doing it so Legion 5i is going to check all the boxes and can be option to obviously perfectly fit your needs you want a high refresh rate you can get 165 HZ panel need storage for all d games you can get a one terabyte PCI SSD there's a lot to really like here and regardless of what config you decide to pick up or order they'll be running the latest 12 gen Intel processor with three really good options and that PA with RTX series Graphics is going to give you some really incredible power under the hood so before we take a closer look at the Lenovo Legion 5i got some good news for you we are giving away a legion 5i that you can win for yourself all you got to do leave a comment down below tell me the first thing that you would do with the Lenovo Legion 5i make sure you leave your social handle on the comments where I can't contact you if you win that one's important give the video a thumbs up and we'll contact you if you win there are a lot of laptops out there that are designed with different things in mind some are designed for portability and those tend to be you know really sleek and thin but they lack on power there are some that are designed for just hardcore gaming and those tend to be you know real chunky boys Lenovo Legion 5i I think Bridges a really nice Gap it's purpose-built uh to kind of do it all so let's talk a little bit about the design gaming laptops are thick boys like there's no way around it you got to have fans you got to have batteries and of course you got to have space for just air flow uh to keep this thing cool this generation though is actually 15% thinner uh than last generation which is not something I could say for me uh from last year which is pretty awesome to have it also got to redesign as things tend to do and it's sporting something called a zero bump hinge now it's not something I'd heard of before maybe maybe you have uh but it prevents things when you pull the laptop in and out of bags from like dongles just like snapping uh from plugged into the ports and speaking of ports it's got a lot of them USB type- C check you're going to need some USB type a check maybe you want a hard wire in you're going to need an Ethernet lamp port check so the Nova Legion 5i is going to come in two colors so you can pick which one you want assuming you like gray uh you've got storm gray and Cloud gray uh but if you do like customizing and color options uh you've got RGB on the keyboard to sort of customize that to sort of your heart's your heart's content so when it comes to phones I've been very vocal that like display matters to me almost more than anything else and that's true for most Electronics especially when it comes to laptops uh and Lenovo Legion 5i didn't skimp on the display here so you've got a a pretty big 15.6 in display uh it's also sporting a high refresh rate as you'd want for a modern laptop so you're going to have plenty of real estate for whatever web browsing video editing and again the high refresh rate of 165 Herz anything you're going to want to do is going to look and feel fast uh especially gaming uh and at least for me I think for a gaming laptop you know 15in plus is less than 16 uh is a perfect sweet spot for Port ability and also having enough real estate to actually you know see what you're doing you're going to get a great WID screen experience and games are going to look super colorful so a lot of this laptop at least for me I think was surprising how good the display looked was surprising the design I think was a bit of a surprise performance um should probably come as no surprise you know Lenovo is working with Intel here and they've have a nice reputation of making really powerful computers this is sort of the next uh in that sort of power lineage so at the heart of this system is a CPU uh so our units being powered by by the 12th gen Intel Core i7 it's a 12 700h processor which is going to give you both great performance uh and efficiency this 12 gen though is kind of known for seamlessly switching between performance and efficiency cores sort depending on whatever it is you're doing so you're gaming video editing you need that power uh you get that power but the efficiency cores are great when you want to save your battery life you're just like you know checking emails or you know browsing browsing the web or watch some YouTube videos uh you're also going to be able to use Intel's turbo boost Tech so if you don't no uh that's going to boost frame rates during Peak loads a term that always makes me laugh uh an Intel thread detector will keep your gaming at Peak Performance and sort of free you from any kind of throttling that you might have get with other computers for the GPU you can pick from the RTX 30 series uh we've got the RTX 370 TI uh in our model and then when you're doing intensive things obviously gaming or video editing you want like in life you want a good marriage Synergy uh of CPU and GPU and that's what you're getting here with Intel's 12th gen i7 and then the RTX uh 30 series of je all right so that's the noo Legion 5i and again there's a lot of laptops out there especially when it comes to gaming if you are looking for one that really does everything very very well uh and also looks good while doing it give you performance and power uh the Lenovo Legion 5i is one that you should absolutely uh consider the screen was a standout to me it does what I expect uh of a gaming laptop let me do what I do and let the laptop and the computer get out of the way I don't want to have to think about it I don't want to think about to I have enough power to have enough RAM are things going to work am I going to drop frame rates and sort of that worry that you get sometimes with underpowered gaming laptops at least me I didn't have here for the games that I was testing uh
