Our take on the Lenovo Legion Pro 5i Laptop

The Legion Pro 5i is Lenovo's 16-inch gaming laptop, built around an RTX 4070 and a 1600p, 240Hz display. That combination puts it in the upper-middle of the gaming laptop field: fast enough for high-refresh competitive play and 1440p-class single-player gaming, with a screen sharper than the 1080p panels common on cheaper 16-inch models. It suits gamers who want one machine for play and heavier work, and it is a sensible step up from entry-level Legions without the price jump to the premium Legion 7 line.

Questions and answers

Is the RTX 4070 enough for 1600p gaming?

Yes for most modern titles at high settings, especially with DLSS. The most demanding games may need settings trimmed to hold high frame rates at the panel's native resolution.

Can it use the full 240Hz refresh rate?

In esports titles like Valorant or CS2, yes. In heavy single-player games the GPU will land well below 240 fps, so the high refresh mainly benefits competitive play.

How does it compare with the Legion Pro 5?

The Pro 5i is the Intel-based version of the same 16-inch Legion Pro design. The AMD-based Pro 5 is the alternative if you want similar graphics with a different CPU platform.

Is it good for video editing and 3D work?

Yes. The RTX 4070 and a high-refresh 1600p screen suit editing, rendering and CAD, though the display's color accuracy matters more than refresh rate for color-critical work.

How loud and hot does it get?

Under sustained gaming the fans are clearly audible and the chassis warms up. In quiet mode it is calmer but loses performance.

What should I check before buying?

Confirm the GPU's power limit and the panel type, since Legion Pro 5i configurations vary. Higher GPU wattage means more performance in games.
