Is the OLED screen worth it over an LCD Legion 5?

Yes for color and contrast. The OLED gives true blacks, 100% DCI-P3 and 165Hz with G-Sync, which LCD versions of the Legion 5 cannot match. The trade-off is a glossy surface that reflects light.

Can I upgrade the RAM or storage?

Storage yes, memory no. The 32GB of DDR5 is soldered, so it is fixed for the life of the machine. The single M.2 slot takes 2242-length drives, which are less common than 2280.

How does the RTX 5070 compare with the previous Legion 5 graphics?

It is a clear step up. The 12GB of GDDR7 gives more headroom for ray tracing and high textures than the 8GB cards common in earlier Legion 5 models, and it pairs with a newer, faster CPU.

Is it good for video editing and 3D work?

Yes. The 10-core Ryzen AI 9, 32GB of RAM and 12GB graphics card handle timeline scrubbing, rendering and GPU-accelerated 3D. The OLED's DCI-P3 coverage helps with color grading.

What comes in the box?

The laptop and its charger. No mouse, sleeve or other accessories are included.

Is 4.2 lb light enough to carry daily?

It is light for a gaming laptop with a 12GB graphics card, but the charger adds weight. It works for a commute or campus bag, though a smaller ultraportable is easier to carry.
