Is the OLED screen worth it over an IPS gaming laptop?

Yes for most buyers. The OLED gives deeper blacks, faster pixel response and better contrast than the IPS panels common at this tier, and the 165Hz refresh keeps motion smooth. The trade-off is a small risk of image retention if you leave static bright elements on screen for long periods.

Can I upgrade the RAM and storage?

The 1 TB SSD can be swapped or expanded, and the memory is upgradeable on Legion 5i models, though you should confirm the slot layout for your exact configuration. Going beyond 16 GB helps with heavy multitasking and large creative projects.

Is 8 GB of graphics memory enough for modern games?

It is fine at 2560x1600 with high settings in most current titles. Very demanding games at maximum texture settings can exceed 8 GB, so expect to lower a setting or two in the newest releases.

How does it compare with the Legion Pro 5i?

The Pro line adds stronger cooling, higher-wattage GPUs and a larger chassis. The standard Legion 5i is lighter and simpler, and its OLED option is the main reason to pick it over the Pro.

Does it run hot or loud during gaming?

It runs warm and the fans spin up audibly in performance mode, which is normal for this class. A stand or a cooler pad helps airflow and keeps noise down.
