- Is the Legion Pro 5i good for 1440p gaming?
- Yes. The 2560 x 1600 panel pairs well with the NVIDIA GPU in this configuration, and reviewers report playable frame rates at native resolution in most current titles with settings tuned.
- Can I upgrade the RAM or storage?
- The SSD is replaceable, but 32 GB is the maximum supported RAM, so this configuration is already fully populated. Plan on external or swapped drives for more storage.
- How does it compare with the Legion Pro 7?
- The Pro 7 has a more premium chassis and stronger cooling for higher-end GPUs. The Pro 5i gives up some of that headroom but covers mainstream gaming well.
- Is it too heavy to carry to class?
- At 4.4 lb it is manageable for a 16-inch gaming laptop, but the power brick adds bulk. It works as a daily carry if you do not mind the weight.
- Does it have Thunderbolt or just USB-C?
- Ports include USB-C and HDMI, but Thunderbolt support varies by model, so confirm the exact SKU's port spec before relying on it for docks or external GPUs.
- What comes in the box?
- The laptop and its power adapter. A mouse and headset are not included, so budget for those separately.
