So far I’m very happy with this laptop over all and you should be able to run any modern games. The downside to this laptop is the small 512 SSD which is fine as a boot drive but not for it and storages of games. I was hoping I could use a 2.5 1TB hard drive I have for storage but after getting it open up I found there no drive caddy for the 2.5 so I’m left with getting another SSD for the other M.2 slot. As far as battery life goes I normally have it plug in so I can’t say what the battery life will be. The keyboard itself is roomy and comfortable; the keys offer a firm feel with soft-landing switches that result in a satisfying and quiet typing experience. The display image is crisp, bright, and fast and the colors in games and photos look vivid The Nvidia’s G-Sync technology matches the screens refresh rate with GPU output for game play without tearing or stuttering. So for the money other than the small SSD you get your money worth.

The Lenovo Legion 5 15 gaming laptop is the latest in a line of popular gaming laptops, and for good reason. The Legion 5 15 achieves a good balance between size, build quality, and performance. This particular version of the Legion 5 15 is equipped with an AMD Ryzen 7 5800H, Nvidia 3050 Ti 4GB, 1080p 165hz screen, 16 gb of RAM, and a 512gb NVME SSD.The build quality of the Lenovo Legion is pretty nice, with no noticeable flex in the chassis. The keyboard feels pretty standard for a laptop keyboard, so no major complaints there (unless you’re a keyboard snob). This version of the Legion 15 comes with a 4-zone RGB keyboard (for that sweet, sweet FPS improvement). If you’re familiar with previous version of the Legion 5, then it’s essentially the same laptop, just with a Ryzen 7 5800H, a 3050 TI, and a slightly smaller power adapter.Most of the ports are along the back (3x USB A, USB C, HDMI, ethernet, power) with a few on the left (USB C and headphone) and right (USB A), and you have vents along the back and to the rear parts of both sides. These vents are massive to help keep everything cool. The fans are rather loud under load, but this is going to be an issue with most gaming laptops. It also gets warm — keyboard is fine, but I’m not sure you’ll want this on your lap. While this has the latest version of USB C 3.2, this does not have Thunderbolt (but this is an issue with most AMD laptops).In terms of gaming performance, the 3050 TI with that Ryzen 7 5800H works surprisingly well, though CPU exceeds the capability of the 3050 TI. This gets an overall score in 3D Mark Time Spy of 5860, with a graphics score of 5504 and a CPU score of 9261. On Cinebench, it gets a single core score of 1381 and a multi-core score of 11256, which are great for a laptop CPU. It was able to run Shadow of the Tomb Raider with an average FPS of 80 on the high preset at 1080p. You could absolutely tweak the settings and to get higher FPS if you so desired, and with the 165hz screen, you’ll want to take advantage of that. Userbenchmark gives this a CPU score of 91.9%, a drive score of 317%, and a memory score of 67.5%; I had trouble getting it to run with the Nvidia card.Speaking of the screen, it looks very good. There’s little backlight bleed, and the color quality and brightness are great for a gaming laptop.The speakers are OK, but you’re going to still want headphones.Battery life is not great — I haven’t run the battery down, but I’d say only expect maybe 5 hours doing normal stuff and maybe 1-1.5 hours while gaming. This is pretty common for gaming laptops however.PROS👍Good build quality👍CPU is a beast👍Screen is very nice👍GPU can play most modern games👍Good configuration of RAM and storage for the price👍OK weight for a gaming laptop👍Priced rightCONS👎Loud fans under load👎Poor battery lifeAt around $1050 at the time of this writing, you’ll be hard pressed to find a better deal for a gaming laptop with similar specs. You can always pay more for more performance, but if this is your price limit and you want to play some more recent titles on the go, this is it chief.

I didn’t expect the battery life to be so short. This is my first laptop so I’m not sure if it’s a trade-off from all the other great features, or if that’s how gaming laptops are due to the system’s demands. Besides that, I love it! I’m currently in tech school and it’s working amazingly for my work and the few pc games I play. I 10/10 recommended this to my friends with the note that the battery life only lasts about 5 hours at 100% with the highest setting on for power saving.

I like the I/O on this laptop. there are plenty of options. I was looking at another competitive product but the ports were lacking compared to this, it had the last generation AMD ZEN2 cpu, onboard AMD graphics, smaller less bright lower refresh screen, and was about $200 cheaper. This is heavier, but there is so much more there for the money.

okay so, this laptop is honestly really good for the price. I downloaded battlefield 4 to test it, and it did fairly well, At medium settings I was getting 180-200fps constant. I was getting a few hiccups from connection though, so I’ll have to connect a Ethernet and see if the wireless wifi is the problem. The fans cooled it nice, they were a little bit loud when sitting in silence as any gaming laptop would be ,but with headphones you can’t hear anything, I played for about 2 hours while charging and it didn’t even get that warm. Now for battery, you get like 3-4 hours tops just from browser use (I did have battery save mode on, you could probably get a little more battery life using lower screen brightness but I like to keep it at around 80% and that’s the battery life I get. Quality of laptop is also super good, keyboard fees very high end

Ight y’all gonna be straight up… This computer is solid for its price. The build quality feels… Mmm… Just flat out great. Solid, but not too heavy, but it feels heavy ya know?Battery is OK, little on the shorter side but it has a 3050ti in it and the ryzen 5800h really helps keep it going. Its a “gaming” laptop so the 5ish hrs I got with mid screen brightness and multitasking was plenty for me.The screen BTW, it’s beautiful. I’m a huge fan of high quality IPS flicker free (DC dimming) displays and this one is probably one of my favorite screens I’ve used. I think people seriously underestimate how messed up flickering lights at their brains for many hours a day is. Its best to avoid in all places possible and this laptop supports that.I have a ryzen 3600 and 1660ti in my main rig and this thing matches it for sure, even outperforms or slightly but haven’t had enough time with it to say for sure about all that.Generally the keyboard is awesome and comfortable to use, the track pad is responsive and thank God they put a dedicated function key to disable it if you don’t need it… They have an electronic camera emable/disable switch.For gaming it’s a 3050ti 4gb for my version with a ryzen 5800h, it can run pretty much every major modern game with the exception of super high video memory titles, in which case you lower your settings a bit.As a workstation (why I got it), beast mode. Things a tank. Sound quality on headphones and speakers are exceptional (reminder it’s a laptop), camera is decent (what do you expect on a laptop?), and overall the machine is eating everything I’m throwing at it and handling it quite snappily.Overall I’m very happy with this machine. If I run into issues this review will be updated but none yet.

It is a really good looking laptop, the I/O at the back makes cable management when ‘docked’ very easy.It has great performance, especially in multithreaded applications, if you have an extra buck or two rather go for the 3060 variant, for mainly the more vram, that was unfortunately not in my budget. Still I am very happy with the performance.The screen is absolutely brilliant. It the ufo ghosting test it makes my separate display look like trash. It has vibrant colours, high brightness, the high refresh rate is wonderful.The keyboard is very nice and the only complaint I have for the trackpad is that is could have been a little bit bigger, however with this type of laptop, one usually uses it with a mouse, but something to keep in mind.The cooling fans can get quite loud, but is is more of a whoosh sound than a whiny sound, so it is not really irritating, however if you are buying a gaming laptop, you are probably not buying it for being quiet. When doing lighter tasks like web browsing and using office applications, on the auto power setting, it is quiet 90% of the time, it only gets loud when doing heavy tasks, and then it is in performance mode. Quiet mode is always deathly quiet.The battery is surprisingly good for a gaming laptop, keep in mind this is in quiet mode, using the internal gpu, lower brightness and only web browsing, office and reading PDFs, but I have gotten 5-6 hours out of this machine which is actually what they advertised, which is nice to see, usually the advertised numbers for battery is impossible to obtain, so I am happy to see that it is accurate. I have not checked at what framerate the monitor runs in the lower power mode, but since the only predefined option is 165 I presume it runs at 165, so by creating a lower refresh rate setting manually, it could improve battery life even more.Speakers are meh, but it is laptop speakers, so I was not expecting anything fancy, if you have money for this just use headphones or earphones if you are doing anything where sound quality is important, or you care about bass.

So far so good. Only had it for a week and it’s been great. Very fast and durable. I compared the camera to my hp laptop and there was a big difference in quality. Great for coding/programming.

Very solid build quality and good value. I used to do a bit of PC gaming and have been out of it for a while. Was looking for a neutral looking laptop for some occasional work, my kids zooming, and their gaming, of course. Good to high quality vid card, CPU, solid state hd, and 16gb ram were important. Since it was going to be used mostly around the house, battery life wasnt a top priority. Battery life on this laptop is not great by a longshot, but when I use it for work on battery saver mode, I was getting 3-4 hours. Not bad, but not great. Gaming, we are seeing about 2-3 hours, but I can live with that. Overall its a great little laptop.

The Lenovo Legion 5 with RTX 3050Ti is an amazing gaming laptop for around the $1,000~ price point.While it is true that the 3050 and 3050Ti are the lowest tier GPUs of the RTX 3000 (mobile) series, for casual gaming this laptop delivers some great performance and graphics, do keep in mind that a lot of recent AAA titles won’t play at the highest graphical settings compared to if you were using a higher tier GPU like the 3060, 3070 or 3080, but for the types of games I personally play, the 3050Ti still performs great at an affordable price.The device itself is very well built, the outside is made of plastic but it feels solid, the keyboard feels nice to type and game on, the trackpad is ok but using a mouse is preferable, speakers aren’t amazing but don’t sound terrible either, the camera is there and it’s whatever but you at least get a switch to physically disable it at any time. The display on this is great, it gets very bright, the refresh rate is of 165z, and the color accuracy is respectable. Thermals haven’t been a problem with the games that I’ve thrown at this device, there are three fans settings to pick from: quiet, balance, and performance, even at performance mode I can barely just hear the fans kick in when a lot is happening on the screen, plus this cooling pad that I got from “havit” seems to help it a bit.Maybe my only two nitpicks (that aren’t too big of a deal for me to take stars away from this product), is that the keyboard has a number pad, which is more of a subjective taste but I personally just don’t ever use the number pad on any keyboard, and the second nitpick is the fact that out of the box this laptop comes with 512* GB of storage (more like 475 GB considering how much storage system files take up), but on the bright side there is a second SSD slot inside the device so storage can be upgraded in the future.If you couldn’t tell, I am very happy with this laptop so far, especially considering how I went from a laptop with an AMD A12 with integrated Radeon Graphics to a Ryzen 7 5800H with RTX 3050Ti, like, over half of my Steam library has now unlocked and become playable!(Also, say “hi” to my Clairen plush from the picture).
