What are you trying to show with that link? Sure it's a 5070, but half the RAM? And $50 more? That's not a better deal at all.

eh, that's half the ram. Given that the cheapest 32gb DDR5 kit right now is gonna be atleast $250, this could be a better deal for some. If we weren't in the middle of a Memory shortage with no signs of it slowing down and possibly only getting worse this deal makes total sense.

5060 performance isn't too far from 5070 but upgrading from 16gb to 32gb memory can cost quite a bit of money.

Community Reviews

This Legion Pro 5 pairs a 16 inch 1600p OLED 165Hz display with a Ryzen 7 8745HX, RTX 5060, 32GB RAM, and 1TB SSD, making it strongest as a premium screen gaming laptop with generous memory. The 32GB configuration stands out because upgrading laptop RAM is costly right now, and the OLED panel gets praise for brightness and image quality. The main knocks are the $1180 price, the 8GB VRAM limit, and the lack of USB4 on this CPU version. It is a solid fit if display quality and memory matter more than chasing the cheapest 5060.

Common Questions (6)

  • The 16-inch 1600p 165Hz OLED panel with 500 nits is a major selling point and is considered far better than typical sub-$1000 gaming laptop screens. It's also a point of disagreement versus MacBook displays, with some preferring the Legion's panel and others preferring the MacBook's.

    OliveTest4274OliveTest4274lulimetOliveTest4274

  • It's a stronger value if you want the 32GB RAM and 1TB SSD configuration, especially with the 16-inch 1600p OLED 165Hz panel. The main knock is that similar RTX 5070 laptops have appeared near the same price, and this model has reportedly been cheaper before.

    Dr.WCoolRaccoon247EricJ19Zonic102

  • The RAM can be upgraded later, but the GPU is fixed, so some buyers prefer spending on the better graphics card first. In this deal, the included 32GB DDR5 matters because upgrading from 16GB to 32GB can be expensive right now.

    gotpball44CoolRaccoon247yujieTPMJB

  • The RTX 5060 is close to the mobile RTX 5070 in performance, but both are still 8GB VRAM cards, which can be limiting in newer games. That makes the GPU acceptable for many titles, but not ideal if you want extra VRAM headroom.

    yujieCoralPen5986RichardR2949NoSleep007

  • No USB4 is reported on this configuration with the Ryzen 7 8745HX, even though it does have USB-C 3.2 Gen 2 with Power Delivery and DisplayPort 1.4. That missing port is one reason the laptop may be priced lower.

    XDeckerOliveTest4274

  • One reported unit hard-crashed under gaming load when the CPU spiked past 100°C, even after BIOS, driver, power-profile, and fan-profile changes. Stability was only achieved by capping the CPU at 99% with boost disabled and running the fans at full speed.

Do only people who game use this? Is any legion laptop not good for someone who doesn't game?

How does this compare to an old xps 15 9520 laptop that has i7-12700h processor and 32gb ram and Intel xe graphics and Nvidia 3050?

How is the battery on this when not doing any gaming? Say web browse and YouTube? I recall it was said as long as you turn off the rtx 5060, then the battery would be normal? Since it is a Ryzen processor, what is the regular graphics card? For Intel, it's Intel xe graphics. For Ryzen, it's what?
If you are not gaming, and only use it for web browsing and other light tasks, get a Macbook. Amazing battery life, far better display, far more stable OS.

Uh, it has a USB4 port and a USB-C 3.2 gen 2 port with PD and DP 1.4.
*Edit*
Damn, even though it's a Legion 5 gen 10 because it has the 8745HX instead of the 260 it actually doesn't have USB4. My apologies. I guess that's one reason this is so cheap.

Better display? That's highly debatable, 1600p 165Hz OLED with 500nits is arguably better than any Macbook in this price range.

There is no debate that my Macbook's display is far better than my Legion's OLED display (I have this very same Legion).

I've got a Macbook Air M2 and I definitely think my Legion's OLED is significantly better.

3060/4060/5060 laptops use to float around $799 now its $1200 which is 3070/4070/5070 territory. There's a sucker born every minute huh?

There are still plenty of XX60 laptops floating in that price range of under a grand. They are not, nor have they ever been Legion Pros though. I should know, I literally upgraded from a Legion 3070 pro 5 from 4 years ago recently. That one cost me about 1200 before cashback, and was a front page qualifying deal back then.

You can still buy 800~ dollar XX60s on sale, and they still have garbage screens, and garbage build quality (unless it's a Lenovo LOQ I guess, the HP Victus is also surprisingly sturdy feeling).

But you aren't getting a top tier display and build quality for a XX60 at 800 and you never have with any consistency.

Edit: also a $800 3060 would be a 975 3060 adjusting for baseline inflation today. So yeah this is a great deal.

Ram is alot easier to upgrade than the GPU. So get the better gpu and upgrade the ram later
Ram is absolutely not easier to upgrade in this current economy. Plus the 5060 and 5070 mobile benches very similarly. You're missing a few frames in the big picture and they're both only 8gb vram which kinda sucks in the end, but they make it work.

Concerned about the 5060 8gb of vram, is that enough? I've read you need at least 12 - 16 gb of vram but maybe for a laptop is ok.

Maybe this product was sold 10 times for $1,150.
The current price is $1,180, so of course it's not a good deal.

Not a good price for a 5060. We have 5070 deals at this price now. And this has been as low as $1049-$1099. Idk why this is being thumbed up.
The value of 32gb of ram and 1tb SSD has changed. Yes it's a good deal. This is also the 16 inch pro model
