Our take on the Lenovo Legion Pro 5i 16" WQXGA Gaming Laptop
The Legion Pro 5i is Lenovo's 16-inch gaming laptop, built around a 2560x1600 WQXGA display, an Intel Core Ultra 9 processor and an RTX 5070 Ti GPU. It targets gamers who want high frame rates at 1600p and enough CPU headroom for streaming, editing and other heavy work. Against rivals like the ASUS ROG Strix and Acer Predator Helios, it leans on a taller 16:10 screen and strong sustained performance rather than a slim chassis. Expect desktop-replacement weight and fan noise under load, and modest battery life away from a wall outlet.
- Sharp 2560x1600 16:10 display with plenty of vertical room
- Core Ultra 9 gives strong multi-core performance for gaming plus creative work
- RTX 5070 Ti handles high-refresh 1600p gaming and DLSS upscaling
- Legion software lets you tune power modes and fan curves
- Full-size keyboard with a number pad and good key travel

Questions and answers
- Is the Legion Pro 5i good for 1600p gaming?
- Yes. The RTX 5070 Ti is built for high-refresh 2560x1600 play, and DLSS helps on the heaviest titles. Expect to lower some settings in the most demanding games.
- How does it compare with the Legion Pro 5?
- The Pro 5i moves to Intel Core Ultra silicon and newer RTX graphics, so it is faster and more efficient than the older model. The chassis and 16-inch WQXGA screen carry over.
- Can I upgrade the RAM and storage?
- The Legion Pro 5i has accessible memory slots and an M.2 SSD slot, so both can be upgraded. Check the exact configuration before buying.
- Is it too heavy to carry to class?
- It is a desktop replacement, so daily carrying is a chore. It suits a dorm or desk setup more than a commuter bag.
- Does it run hot?
- Under sustained gaming the chassis warms up and fans spin up, which is normal for this class. Performance mode trades noise for cooler internals.
- What comes in the box?
- The laptop and its power adapter. A mouse and headset are not included.
