Community Reviews

This Legion Pro 5i pairs a 16 inch 1600p OLED 165 hertz display with an RTX 5070, and the standout appeal is the screen. The OLED gets praised for deep blacks, around 500 nits of brightness, and an overall excellent picture, while the chassis is described as reasonably quiet and well cooled for the GPU. The main concerns are the 8 gigabytes of VRAM and 16 gigabytes of system RAM, which can feel tight at native 2560 by 1600 and are not easy to justify upgrading later. It looks strongest as a premium gaming laptop where display quality matters most.

  • Laptop gamers playing at the built-in 1600p OLED panel, because the display is praised as amazing with deep blacks and strong brightness.

  • Players upgrading from older midrange GPUs, because frame generation feels like a major improvement and the machine still runs most games well on the laptop screen.

    MostBasedpaulk11087

  • Gamers who want a quiet high-performance laptop, because the cooling is described as warm under load without high-pitch fan whine.

    Elon69fatguypoolshark

  • Gamers who want to drive an external monitor at native 1600p, because the 8GB VRAM can run out often at that resolution.

    paulk11087crazygideon

  • Power users planning to keep lots of games and apps open, because 16GB system memory is a limiting spec and is not reasonably upgradable aftermarket.

    crazygideon

  • Shoppers expecting desktop-class RTX 5070 performance, because the laptop version uses a smaller 5060-class die and should not be compared directly.

If I already have a 11800H with a RTX 3070 and 32GB DDR4, besides the screen obviously, is this a significant upgrade?

Probably not significant but an upgrade none the less. The 8GB VRAM on the GPU and 16GB on this is what I think is lacking but will still perform well enough for a gaming laptop. Pushing this onto an external monitor is probably where it would struggle but off the laptop itself should run most games decent

If you're ok with the performance, I would say stick with it and save the money. If you're looking for frame gen, I'd look into Lossless Scaling on Steam first. I understand the want for an upgrade, but I'm all about being more money conscious first, especially in this economy. 3070 is still capable and not quite old enough to warrant an upgrade, at least in my opinion.

I went from a Asus Zephyrus G14 with 3060 to the Legion 7i with 5070 and I'm happy. Frame gen is a game changer.

However, the Pro version is unnecessary with a 5070 IMO. I would either get the lighter thinner non pro with same specs or step up to a 5070 TI to make it worth the additional bulk.

Might also be worth stepping up to 32gb ram, with the current shortages and crazy aftermarket prices. I paid about $1500 (before cash back) for the more premium 7i with the higher tier Ultra 9 275HX, same 5070, and 32GB DDR5 last October. The ram upgrade alone would cost an additional $200+ on the market today.

+1 Yes the OLED is fantastic, 500 nits super dark blacks.

I've been using my Legion quite a bit to get my money's worth!

So I was in a similar spot to you. Had a Legion Pro 5 with a 3070 and a 5800H. I was expecting to want to upgrade around next Christmas, maybe a year from now. I moved that up to now though because while a 3070 to a 5070 wasn't a HUGE jump, I knew I would need something in a year, and with the supply issues and ram issues, I wasn't interested in buying in a year when every prebuilt system's price has adjusted for the new ram pricing. My Legion 5 cost 1200~ and the 32 GBs of ram alone on the secondary would be 350. Absolute nonsense.

Also the new oled screens are incredible. Also seconding the person who mentioned the non pro with a 5070. 4.4 lbs 15.1" Oled and only the non pros have rear power this round with Legion.

I have the higher version 5090, the back is where the heatsink and fan output is and you do not want to keep your hand on it when the machine is running high on GPU, When running full speed, I have a one of those small turbo fan that is about 18 inch away and it pulls the "exhaust" and I can feel the warmth out of the fan!

Def a warm machine, not super loud though. Not high pitch whine I've heard people said about other high power laptops.

Just so you know, it's a 5060 die (and VRAM) for the 5070 laptop, don't expect 5070 desktop performance.

Maybe this message is telling me not to upgrade due to the price and cost of RAM going up, and to wait a couple of years. I still have an i5 with a 3050 Ti.

Every review I have seen says this machine does great on temp. Check notebookCheck for good reviews that go in depth on build quality and the like if you care to. Just google the model+year+notebookcheck.

As for the other person who respondoed to you, the 5090 is a totally different animal than a 5070 in laptop. Massive massive difference on heat output.
