What Buyers Say
Lenovo Legion 5i 15.1" 83F00008US
Users mostly praise the Lenovo Legion 5i for its excellent OLED display, smooth performance, and competitive price. The Intel Core Ultra processor paired with an RTX 5060 (or 5070) handles games and heavy workloads well. However, several reviewers note poor battery life (around 2 hours on Quiet mode), WiFi connectivity issues, and the need to keep GPU mode enabled for sustained performance. Overall, it's considered a solid gaming laptop for the price, with caveats about battery and software quirks.
Pros
- Excellent OLED display
- Smooth performance with Intel Core Ultra and RTX 5060/5070
- Competitive price
- High quality build
- Runs demanding software (games, SolidWorks) well
Cons
- Poor battery life (around 2 hours)
- WiFi connectivity issues
- Requires GPU mode for sustained performance
- Software quirks (taskbar icons disappear)
- Bulky included charger

User feedback is mixed. Several buyers praise the laptop for its speed, display, battery life and value, especially after switching to Linux, but many note frustrations: RAM is soldered and non-upgradable, software registration and driver issues plague some units, and one unit had faulty Wi-Fi requiring a wired connection. Support has been described as unhelpful or paywalled, and an incorrect RAM specification (16 GB advertised vs 8 GB received) was reported.
Pros
- Fast with Linux
- Good battery life
- Bright and clear display
- Lightweight build
- Good value for basic tasks
Cons
- Soldered non-upgradable RAM
- Poor ASUS customer support
- Driver issues out-of-box
- Wi-Fi hardware problem requiring cable
- Incorrect RAM advertised (16GB vs 8GB)
