Our take on the Lenovo Legion 5I Gaming Laptop

The Lenovo Legion 5i is a 15.3-inch gaming laptop with an aluminum-top Eclipse Black chassis, built around Intel's Core Ultra 7 255HX, 64 GB of DDR5 memory and a 1 TB SSD. Its 2560x1600 OLED panel runs at 165Hz with 1000 nits peak brightness and DisplayHDR True Black 1000, and the laptop adds Wi-Fi 7 and a 5.0MP camera with an E-shutter. The 64 GB configuration is far above the 16 GB most gaming laptops ship with, so it suits heavy multitasking, VMs and content work as much as games. Reviewers of Legion 5i models praise performance and the bright high-refresh screen, and complain about weight, fan noise and short battery life.

Questions and answers

Is 64 GB of RAM overkill for gaming?
For games alone, yes; 16 to 32 GB is enough. The 64 GB pays off for virtual machines, large video projects and dozens of browser tabs.
Can I upgrade the RAM or storage later?
Legion 5i models have two SO-DIMM slots and two M.2 slots, so RAM and SSD can be swapped, though 64 GB already fills both memory slots.
Does it come with Windows 11?
This configuration lists Windows 10 Pro. Windows 11 is a free upgrade on supported hardware, but check the listing before buying if the OS matters.
Is it too heavy to carry to class?
Yes, for daily commuting. The Legion 5i is a desktop-replacement-class laptop; a thinner 14- or 15-inch model suits carrying better.
What is in the box?
The laptop, its power adapter and paperwork. No mouse or bag is included.
How does it compare with a 32 GB Legion 5i?
The 32 GB build is the better fit for games alone and leaves room to add memory later. This one doubles the RAM up front and keeps the same Core Ultra 7 and 1 TB SSD.
Where is the Lenovo Legion 5I Gaming Laptop cheapest?
At Newegg, for $2,819.99, as of our latest check.
Where can I buy the Lenovo Legion 5I Gaming Laptop?
