Lenovo Legion 5 17ITH6H 82JM0024US 17.3" Gaming Notebook - Full HD - 1920 x 1080 - Intel Core i7 11th Gen i7-11800H Octa-core (8 Core) 2.30 GHz - 16 GB RAM - 512 GB SSD - Phantom Blue, Shadow Black

I bought this laptop to do some business work and mostly play games. I wanted high frame rates with all the eye candy turned on to the max settings. This laptop exceeded my expectations, I regularly get >100 FPS on the latest games like Tomb raider, Assassin, etc with settings on Ultra 1080.The laptop arrived early from Antonline, and was double boxed. I will definitely use them in the future.The laptop has the 135W RTX3060, lot's of laptop 3060's are the lower power 85 watt version, be careful. The laptop has almost no bloatware, the setup was extremely quick. Again I am very happy.The 144hz 17" screen looks great, it's bright and the colors pop. The keyboard is average, and the only thing I would say can use improvement is the touch pad. It works, but should be bigger with this size laptop. It's very quiet, I was expecting fan noise but never hear anything, though I can feel warm air once in a while playing a game. The intake and exhaust for air are very well designed, so it never gets very warm.

I've been using the Lenovo Legion 5 since 2022, and overall, it's been a solid performer that I genuinely enjoy. The laptop has held up well over time, proving to be durable and reliable for both everyday tasks and gaming.Pros:- Performance: The Legion 5 handles most tasks with ease, whether I'm browsing the web, streaming, or playing games. It's responsive, and I rarely experience any lag or slowdowns.- Durability: After more than a year of use, the laptop still feels as sturdy as when I first got it. The build quality is impressive, and it seems like it’s built to last.- Display: The screen is crisp and vibrant, making games and videos look great. The refresh rate is also smooth, which is a nice bonus for gaming.Cons:- Heat Management: The one issue I’ve noticed is that the laptop tends to heat up when playing more demanding games. While it’s not unbearable, it’s something to keep in mind if you're gaming for extended periods.- Memory and Storage: Another downside is the limited memory and SSD storage. The storage space fills up quickly, and the low memory can be a bit restrictive, especially with larger applications and games.- Upgrade Concerns: While I know it’s possible to upgrade the RAM and SSD, I’m hesitant to open it up myself. It would be great if Lenovo offered more accessible options for those of us who aren't as comfortable with hardware upgrades.Conclusion:Despite a few drawbacks, the Lenovo Legion 5 has been a reliable companion. It’s a great option for someone looking for a durable and capable gaming laptop that won't break the bank. Just be prepared for some heat during gaming sessions and consider the potential need for future upgrades in memory and storage.
