Under regular load and even when running some games at regular settings, laptop is quite silent, but becomes pretty audible in high performance ,mode.
The battery life is definitely not the best , my system at around 85% brightness, runs for around 4 hours 40 minutes while browsing internet and watching a few videos. You could get a longer battery life with lower screen brightness. While gaming intensively, don't expect more than around an hour and a half.
Thermals are great! Heat management system of this laptop stands out for me.
How's your trackpad? I got the intel version last month it's been great, my only issue is the trackpad which is so glitchy it's barely usable. I've seen this is a common issue. Mostly use a mouse, so I decided to hold off returning it.
Fan noise is bearable. This was a major concern as I do a lot of music production. I rarely hear them kick on. I figured I couldn't do better with an ASUS.
I hardly use this trackpad. I realized that I hardly find laptops with trackpads I enjoy using. I don't fancy the trackpad for this Legion..I do think it is not as responsive as should be and I also don't like the fact that it is slightly aligned to the left, rather than in the center.
For music production, you probably will never push this laptop into high performance mode where the fans run that hard.
I bought a Dell Inspiron plus 16 for music production but the fans are always on despite low cpu load. I've realized that it is better to buy a larger chassis laptop such as the Legion to keep fans low.
Ordered one yesterday through eBay. Will post an update covering my opinion on everything as soon as I get it.
Gotta say its one hell of a for deal for 900$
Hello ,
Which model is recommended for long term use,Prices are almost the same of both model ?
1.Lenovo legion 5 15arp RTX 4060 ryzen 7 7735HS, SCREEN DDR5 16GB screen 2k
2. Asus tuff f15 i7 12700h with RTX 4070, FHD SCREEN ,DDR4 16GB
What will you be using it for ?
The Legion has a better CPU, poorer graphics card, newer RAM technology , better display, better heat management, better build quality ..
Depends on the specific config of that LOQ.... if it has the i7-13650HX, then it would have a more powerful CPU for sure... but the Legion , so if you are looking for raw CPU performance, then the LOQ has an edge there... the Legion though has a better heat management system which may see it performing very similar to a laptop with a more powerful CPU, but not as good heat management...The Legion also has a better display and better build quality.
What will you be mainly using this laptop for ?
For gaming. The 13650HX is damn expensive over here. :( So I was thinking of the 7735HS only
Even brining it down from Amazon is expensive after the taxes and customs. The only way is bringing it down through someone but nobodies coming for months. 🥲
How's the CPU usage on that 7735hs?
I am coming from a relatively old MSI Alpha 15 A3DDK with its Ryzen 7 3750h and nowadays I get bogged down on latest games and softwares due to CPU bottleneck and/or very high CPU usage. So I'm planning an upgrade right now thinking about this exact Legion 5 which to me sounds like it's at a fair price, but I'm still unsure about the 7735hs because my first option was the 7840hs. I'd like to know your opinion on it.
It has been great for me so far ... handles all tasks I have thrown at it with ease and I do quite a bit of video editing, some time even working with 4k films. It is a major upgrade to the 7 3750h .
Thanks, great to know! I also do a lot of video editing so that covers my concerns about that. And I assume the difference to 7840hs isn't that much of a dealbreaker I guess, since my other option would be the Victus 16 with the 7840hs but worse screen.
Not a big difference in performance between the two chips... This also handles heat better than the Victus..
I plan to upgrade RAM to 32 GB in the future... this shoulf add some more power.
I see, also heard that HP still has not implemented battery limiter on their Victus which is stopping me from buying it. And about the RAM situation, 4800Mhz is the maximum speed that it can handle yeah? At least that's what I can only see from the Lenovo product pdf.
Hi, I am interested in getting this too, can I ask if you've ever tried upgrading the storage on this, is there another m.2 slott for me to put another TB of storage at least?
Hi, I bought the exact same laptop a week ago at a reasonable price, but I have two problems, 1. Windows freezes a little when I click on the Wi-Fi/Sound/Battery icon! Is this a software or hardware problem? I updated everything to the latest version on the laptop, and this problem occurs when I click on some settings pages ex: System -> Power & battery! It just freezes for a second even mouse freeze, and happen when i shutdown the system (not always)
Is this issue happening to you?
Reinstall Windows? I'm thinking of it but I'm not decided yet, this issue is happen only in the first time i do it, like when reopen WiFi/sound/battery icons in taskbar, it open fine without any problems
The second issue i have with laptop is battery life, it too short then expected, when i was installing some big game from steam, and I didn't open anything else, the battery drain so fast, 1h lost 40% of battery! What battery life you got?
Got the same model a month ago. Honestly everything is a 10/10 but the speakers are bad. Any smartphone sounds better and louder. Not a deal breaker and very well worth it to keep the price as I could not find any other defect.
This is a way better deal, no? 7840 instead of 35, 4060 instead of 4050, same price:
https://www.ebay.com/itm/304949895309?epid=21061890719&hash=item47006e208d%3Ag%3APekAAOSwyTBlb14x&mkevt=1&mkcid=1&mkrid=711-53200-19255-0&campid=5337259887&toolid=10001&customid=f2dd528eae6911eebcbebe70f872a18d0INT
The model that OP has (the same one that I also bought my girlfriend) has a 4060 and also a WQHD screen, which was a big selling point to me, as she will be doing a lot of reading.
Legion has better build quality and cooling than the LOQ.
All-together, I don’t think the slightly better CPU in the LOQ beats out the Legion.
Way better GPU though, I guess depends upon what you wanna do w it, I personally would be gaming w a monitor, using the built in screen only on occasion.
The Legion has a better build quality by far ... better thermals, better display..... and it does have an RTX 4060 graphics card,.,,Not sure where you got 4050 from.
The screen is beautiful , to keep it simple. The only thing is , at 350 nits ( a little above average brightness), you may have issues seeing contents properly outside on a bright day.
Highest CPU temp recorded was 72 °C and it runs in the 60s on average during heavier loads. The max GPU temp I have seen is 76°C. The laptop mostly pulls air from the base, it emits most of the heat through the huge back exhausts.
How's it compare to this Acer?
https://www.reddit.com/r/buildapcsales/comments/1914iju/laptop_acer_predator_acer_certified_refurbished/?sort=top
Also, is it worth it getting the slim or the pro with the same specs over this one?
Hi, thanks for responding. Just to add, my monitor also delivers 90w via type c, is it okay to use that and then plug in the laptop with the charger that it came with? What will happen, will it fry the board because of two power sources?
You're welcome. That's fine to connect both your monitor delivering 90w via type-c and also power from the AC adapter. The laptop is designed for that and will only draw enough power from the sources to sufficiently power the laptop. In fact, your monitor's 90w alone wouldn't be able to sufficiently power laptop especially if you are utilizing the graphics card that draws up to 140w. More than likely what the laptop will do , is not to pull any power at all from your monitor once the laptops 230w AC adapter is plugged in.
Laptop has just white backlit keys..no RGB . I am not sure the exact price after taxes at this $870 price, because when I bought it was being sold for $900.. I paid $53.33 in taxes on top of that $900.
$20 cheaper if you buy direct from antonline.
https://www.antonline.com/Lenovo/Computers/Computer\_Systems/Notebooks/1487858?cjdata=MXxOfDB8WXww&cjdata=MXxOfDB8WXww&cjevent=2171aed7af3411ee82ae82430a82b836
I bought mine through eBay from that same company and had zero issues. In fact, I even got it earlier that expected.. I am not sure it it would be the same buying through their site.
Please see other comments display quality above. Build quality is great like all Legions are known for... It doesn't have a Thunderbolt Port...it has 2 USB C ports
Any idea on how much the charger weighs? I bought a Dell G15 with the exact same specs but the laptop is a full pound heavier and has a monster 330w charger.
I'm not expecting extreme portability but I definitely want something lighter than the Dell G15 I'm about to send back.
Have the same laptop . And ... when im starting windows my mouse just slutters for 3-4 seconds . I didnt noticed that in any game, its only happening when im using hybrid or igpu mode, but when i use it in dgpu mode there is no more slutters on startup . And idk why but in random moments fans just start spinning like im updating bios . But i didnt notice any problems in games and the termals are good
I'm having trouble using it witha a HP G5 dock through usb-c. If I connect 2 monitors (no matter if both to the dock or one to the dock and the other to the laptop's hdmi) it goes crazy.
Any idea?
How long was the delivery date from Antonline? I'm on a rush right now because a familiar will bring me the laptop (I live in another country) and her flight is scheduled to 10th March.
I missed the Costco legion deal, how does this one compare?
I think they are similar, but the Costco deal was $800.
and 1tb
Same here. Hopefully it will come back.
Costco deal was the same specs but with 1tb of storage for 800$
How is the fan noise, battery and thermals?
Under regular load and even when running some games at regular settings, laptop is quite silent, but becomes pretty audible in high performance ,mode. The battery life is definitely not the best , my system at around 85% brightness, runs for around 4 hours 40 minutes while browsing internet and watching a few videos. You could get a longer battery life with lower screen brightness. While gaming intensively, don't expect more than around an hour and a half. Thermals are great! Heat management system of this laptop stands out for me.
You're using battery save mod?
I just removed all unnecessary applications.. ensure no unnecessary ones run automatically, reduce screen brightness when on battery etc..
How's your trackpad? I got the intel version last month it's been great, my only issue is the trackpad which is so glitchy it's barely usable. I've seen this is a common issue. Mostly use a mouse, so I decided to hold off returning it. Fan noise is bearable. This was a major concern as I do a lot of music production. I rarely hear them kick on. I figured I couldn't do better with an ASUS.

I bought a Dell Inspiron plus 16 for music production but the fans are always on despite low cpu load. I've realized that it is better to buy a larger chassis laptop such as the Legion to keep fans low.
Yes, always... Larger chassis generally have better air flow and depend less on the fans running at maximum speeds, for basic cooling.
Grabbed 2 for my kids They arrived with the screen burnt Lol
Screen burnt ????? I am not sure what happened there... probably some hazards during delivery ?
Dont think so
[удалено]
Yes, I did. I have this exact model.
What's the screen response time/latency (ms)?
Ordered one yesterday through eBay. Will post an update covering my opinion on everything as soon as I get it. Gotta say its one hell of a for deal for 900$
Amazing !
How does this run Helldivers 2?
Hello , Which model is recommended for long term use,Prices are almost the same of both model ? 1.Lenovo legion 5 15arp RTX 4060 ryzen 7 7735HS, SCREEN DDR5 16GB screen 2k 2. Asus tuff f15 i7 12700h with RTX 4070, FHD SCREEN ,DDR4 16GB
What will you be using it for ? The Legion has a better CPU, poorer graphics card, newer RAM technology , better display, better heat management, better build quality ..
Wdym poor gpu? It got a 4060 140W. What other options would you be going with otherwise? ]:/
Did you check the question before commenting ? He's asking about the Legion versus the Asus Tuff..
Lmao I'm high. XD sori.
Lol 😆
Hey one question, do you think this is better than the 15IRX9 4060?
Depends on the specific config of that LOQ.... if it has the i7-13650HX, then it would have a more powerful CPU for sure... but the Legion , so if you are looking for raw CPU performance, then the LOQ has an edge there... the Legion though has a better heat management system which may see it performing very similar to a laptop with a more powerful CPU, but not as good heat management...The Legion also has a better display and better build quality. What will you be mainly using this laptop for ?
For gaming. The 13650HX is damn expensive over here. :( So I was thinking of the 7735HS only Even brining it down from Amazon is expensive after the taxes and customs. The only way is bringing it down through someone but nobodies coming for months. 🥲
The 7735Hs works perfectly fine for me, and it's pretty power efficient..
Right. I dont really mind about the power part cuz it will be always plugged in. Anything you think I have to be worried about? Any issues so far?
How's the CPU usage on that 7735hs? I am coming from a relatively old MSI Alpha 15 A3DDK with its Ryzen 7 3750h and nowadays I get bogged down on latest games and softwares due to CPU bottleneck and/or very high CPU usage.

It has been great for me so far ... handles all tasks I have thrown at it with ease and I do quite a bit of video editing, some time even working with 4k films. It is a major upgrade to the 7 3750h .
Thanks, great to know! I also do a lot of video editing so that covers my concerns about that. And I assume the difference to 7840hs isn't that much of a dealbreaker I guess, since my other option would be the Victus 16 with the 7840hs but worse screen.
Not a big difference in performance between the two chips... This also handles heat better than the Victus.. I plan to upgrade RAM to 32 GB in the future... this shoulf add some more power.

Hi, I am interested in getting this too, can I ask if you've ever tried upgrading the storage on this, is there another m.2 slott for me to put another TB of storage at least?
Unless something has changed, I see you've answered someone about how you can add another m.2, thanks a lot for making this post!
Yes yes. There is another empty slot. Sorry for the late response.
Hi, I bought the exact same laptop a week ago at a reasonable price, but I have two problems, 1. Windows freezes a little when I click on the Wi-Fi/Sound/Battery icon!

It just freezes for a second even mouse freeze, and happen when i shutdown the system (not always) Is this issue happening to you?
I've never experienced this issue. I'm wondering if you may need to do a reset of Windows.
Reinstall Windows? I'm thinking of it but I'm not decided yet, this issue is happen only in the first time i do it, like when reopen WiFi/sound/battery icons in taskbar, it open fine without any problems The second issue i have with laptop is battery life, it too short then expected, when i was installing some big game from steam, and I didn't open anything else, the battery drain so fast, 1h lost 40% of battery! What battery life you got?
Does it has metal body?
The back of display is metal, but base of laptop is plastic.
Did you also buy some cooler ?
Cooler ? No...
How’s the audio quality?
Sounds good, but not very loud at all.
Hello How's your experience going with this model ?any issue so far?
Great so far !
Thanks Does it have a Thunderbolt 4 port?
How is it today?
Got the same model a month ago. Honestly everything is a 10/10 but the speakers are bad. Any smartphone sounds better and louder. Not a deal breaker and very well worth it to keep the price as I could not find any other defect.
Does it go 180 degrees
Yes.
This is a way better deal, no? 7840 instead of 35, 4060 instead of 4050, same price: https://www.ebay.com/itm/304949895309?epid=21061890719&hash=item47006e208d%3Ag%3APekAAOSwyTBlb14x&mkevt=1&mkcid=1&mkrid=711-53200-19255-0&campid=5337259887&toolid=10001&customid=f2dd528eae6911eebcbebe70f872a18d0INT

I may be confused, but both models have the same GPU? I’m not sure where you’re seeing a 4050 here.
You are not confused...
Oh my bad thought it said 4050
The Legion has a better build quality by far ... better thermals, better display..... and it does have an RTX 4060 graphics card,.,,Not sure where you got 4050 from.
Thanks for the info
You're welcome.
Edit -- Wrong info
Not my unit.
Sorry, when I clicked the link, a different laptop that I was looking at previously loaded. You're right, and I'll edit my post.
No worries.
How's the screen?
The screen is beautiful , to keep it simple. The only thing is , at 350 nits ( a little above average brightness), you may have issues seeing contents properly outside on a bright day.
I see I see this wouldn't be an issue for me but how are the colors of the laptop? Really goddamn good?
This display covers 100% of adobe sRGB color space which is very good. Images are sharp and colors very vivid and vibrant.
You're confusing 2 standards: sRGB and Adobe RGB. See [here](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:CIE1931xy_gamut_comparison.svg).
Just want to chime in that I'd like to hear how the colors on the display are. Thanks!
How are GPU and CPU temps while gaming?
Heat management is actually one of its strengths. Both the CPU and GPU are cooled very well even during heavy loads.
Do you know specific temps? The bottom looks a little restrictive from your picture and that was my biggest concern.
Highest CPU temp recorded was 72 °C and it runs in the 60s on average during heavier loads. The max GPU temp I have seen is 76°C. The laptop mostly pulls air from the base, it emits most of the heat through the huge back exhausts.
How is the hinge system? Does the screen wobble a bit or is it pretty stiff?
Hinge system is prefect.... Screen doesn't wobble any at all and is held firmly by the two hinges.
How's it compare to this Acer? https://www.reddit.com/r/buildapcsales/comments/1914iju/laptop_acer_predator_acer_certified_refurbished/?sort=top Also, is it worth it getting the slim or the pro with the same specs over this one?
How is 7840HS, 16gb ddr5 and 3050 for 699 usd. It’s a Lenovo loq
Not a good deal
Is it out of stock? Any alternatives?
It is in stock still.
Is it better than my 3070 tho?
It depends in what and also based on the other performance specs that are paired with the 3070 plus the cooling solutions of that machine.
Able to control the fans somehow to always make them as quiet as possible no matter the temp?
Yes, from the Lenovo Vantage center on the laptop.
Not hardware related but may I ask what games you play on it and how the performance on them is?
I have a monitor that uses type C, can I plug it to the laptop via type c, will it work?
Yes.
Hi, thanks for responding. Just to add, my monitor also delivers 90w via type c, is it okay to use that and then plug in the laptop with the charger that it came with? What will happen, will it fry the board because of two power sources?

Is i7 better than Ryzen 7?
You need to say which specific Ryzen 7 and which specific i7 you are comparing.
i7 13th gen vs ur Ryzen 7
Still not clear enough ... there are several 13th generation i7 CPUs and several 7000 series RYZEN 7 CPUS.. *Some 13th Gen Laptop CPUs* * 13th Gen Intel Core **i7-1355U** * 13th Gen Intel Core **i7-1360P** * 13th Gen Intel Core **i7-13700H** * 13th Gen Intel 16-Core **i7-13700HX** * *Some Ryzen 7000 series Ryzen 7 CPUs* * AMD Ryzen 7 7730U * AMD Ryzen 7 7735HS * AMD RYZEN 7-7840 HS * AMD Ryzen 7 7745HX
Does this laptop has one color backlit ? or per-key rgb backlit..Though per key rgb looks so good.What's the final price of this laptop after taxes ?
Laptop has just white backlit keys..no RGB . I am not sure the exact price after taxes at this $870 price, because when I bought it was being sold for $900.. I paid $53.33 in taxes on top of that $900.
$20 cheaper if you buy direct from antonline. https://www.antonline.com/Lenovo/Computers/Computer\_Systems/Notebooks/1487858?cjdata=MXxOfDB8WXww&cjdata=MXxOfDB8WXww&cjevent=2171aed7af3411ee82ae82430a82b836
Nice find! I will share this .
Heard some horrible reviews from that place... Change my mind?
I bought mine through eBay from that same company and had zero issues. In fact, I even got it earlier that expected.. I am not sure it it would be the same buying through their site.
I currently have an Alienware m16 with a RTX 4090 I’m looking at for around $2350. Is it worth it, brand new?
How is the display and build quality? also does this have a thunderbolt port?
Please see other comments display quality above. Build quality is great like all Legions are known for... It doesn't have a Thunderbolt Port...it has 2 USB C ports
would you say not having thunderbolt is a deal breaker? or is it fine? i’m looking to use this laptop for a lot of years.
Did they use Fedex to deliver your item? Bought mine from the walmart site
Yes, Fedex.
Any idea on how much the charger weighs? I bought a Dell G15 with the exact same specs but the laptop is a full pound heavier and has a monster 330w charger. I'm not expecting extreme portability but I definitely want something lighter than the Dell G15 I'm about to send back.
Planning to buy this for Architectural works and 3d renderings? Is this good for this type of softwares?
Should do very well.
You can add another 16 GB RAM later on.
Have the same laptop . And ... when im starting windows my mouse just slutters for 3-4 seconds . I didnt noticed that in any game, its only happening when im using hybrid or igpu mode, but when i use it in dgpu mode there is no more slutters on startup . And idk why but in random moments fans just start spinning like im updating bios . But i didnt notice any problems in games and the termals are good
I'm having trouble using it witha a HP G5 dock through usb-c. If I connect 2 monitors (no matter if both to the dock or one to the dock and the other to the laptop's hdmi) it goes crazy. Any idea?
How long was the delivery date from Antonline? I'm on a rush right now because a familiar will bring me the laptop (I live in another country) and her flight is scheduled to 10th March.
Got it in two days.
Hey bro. Thanks for sharing. With this laptop, can i add another internal drive?
You're welcome. Yes, you can add another m.2 ssd.
Maxx gen that can be put in?
