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

fan noise in silent mode for stady is good?

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

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.

The sticker guy part always makes my day! Thanks Matt!💖

I have the i5 2021, with yhe exact same specs except the cpu..awesome device which i use for video editing with no issues, I'm sure this is even better.. excellent review ❤

Thank you for the great review, Matthew! Looking forward for the 2023 version of Lenovo Legion 5i with the Nvidia 4000 mobile series.

I just love the Legion lineup. Especially that 16" Gen 7 Legion 5 Pro with the 165Hz WQXGA (2560x1600) 500 nits non-touch display. 😍🤤🥺😭

The only issue I've heard with the Legion lineup was the 2020 Legion 7i; the hinges on that model failed often due to a lack of support. The 2021 model added more support while the 2022 model redesigned the hinge completely.

Nice video. Just picked this one up for 1080€, super hyped for the pacel to arrive. My current desktop has an 5800x and a gtx1080 so this laptop will probably end up being just as fast as my stationary gaming rig lol

Thank you for the review, i needed a good review to make a decision on a laptop and i ordered one with AMD specs because it was on sale. Great video, keep it up

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.

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?

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.

Nice review, y740 keyboard still better, also dont like that they moved audio jack to the right

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

This is the laptop I am keeping an eye on.

Thanks for calling out the sticker placement. They need to up their game with that 😂

Wow, the difference between the read (7,126 MB/S) and write speeds (1,809 MB/S) on the M.2 SSD are startling. Is that correct Matthew?

Hi Matthew and the laptop community. So after weeks of comparing specs (it will be my first purchase of a gaming laptop) I think that I will settle for the Legion 5i ! I had a quick look at the online Lenovo store of Belgium (where I'm from) and wanted to have your opinion on the following upgradeable specs. Would any of them be a sunk cost according to you guys and gals? - Memory: 8, 16 (2x8) or 32 (2x16) GB RAM, SO-DIMM DDR5 4800 MHz - Drive: 512 GB or 1 TB SSD M.2 2280, PCIe Gen4, TLC - Videocard: RTX 3060, 6 GB or RTX 3070, 8 GB GDDR6 - WiFi: 11AX (2x2) or 11AC (2x2) or WiFi 6E 11AX (2x2) I am definitely overthinking this...

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.
