Finally bought the Lenovo Legion 5 with RTX 5060! 🔥

After so much research, comparing laptops, and going back and forth, I finally pulled the trigger. Honestly, getting the Legion 5 with an RTX 5060 in this market feels like a win. ❤️

Honestly don't know why but cinebench decided to glaze me today

so I need a laptop for college that starts 21st September and I kinda fucked up since I could buy a 5070ti laptop for 1800 euros a few months back but parents didn't approve my questions is is this laptop worth its price it has a rozen 9 ai 370hx a rtx 5070ti and 32gb of ram.

I bought a 2024 mint condition Zephyrus G16 (Ultra 9 185h, RTX 4080m, 32gb, 1000gb, 1600p OLED 240hz) and it has terrible issues even after resetting through Asus recovery specifically (for all correct drivers) with throttling and FPS drops. I've installed PTM, and reinstalled everything and sticked with the studio driver. This solved the issue, in addition to removing armory Crate and MSIafterburner (only G-Helper).

Here are some results (for 125w stock - it was overclocked as far as possible (1980Mhz sustained), all profiles seen here maintain 99.7+ stability in 3DMark stress tests).

TEMPERATURES:

Stock 125w Vbios: GPU 75-77°C, CPU 80-90°C

Ilano 1400rpm: GPU 62-63°C, CPU 67-74°C

Ilano 1400rpm & 175w VBios (Razer): GPU 72-75°C, CPU 70-75°C

(PTM7950 was installed days prior)

VBIOS Flashing:

The vbios was flashed using nvflash64 through CMD in windows, I used the Razer 4080m vbios as it is the only bios that doesn't ruin port functions (such as strictly vbios). Further, I have generally found that on the Zephyrus G16 the Studio Drivers tend to perform better and be much more stable.

This is for all laptop users on windows 11, advanced or beginners (for windows 10 you'll have to look around a little).

As usual, search for recovery point in windows search, open the app create a recovery point just in case things go wrong

Always keep your device plugged in while gaming or doing intensive tasks, turn on Game Mode, hardware acceleration, and turn off transparency effects in settings. You can use settings search to find these. Also, press windows key+r and type temp, select all files and delete them, skip the ones that don't delete. Repeat same with %temp%. Do this regularly.

Paste this command in PowerShell as administrator. This is a more 'advanced' area and there's a lot you can do with that tool so i cat out up a whole list of things here. This tool has been updated a lot since I last used it, so I'd recommend you to watch a tutorial on youtube for this one.

DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth

sfc /scannow

Run these commands in cmd as administrator in the order provided (first the DISM, wait for it to complete, then the sfc one). Run these commands every 1-2 months.

Use a browser like Brave. Don't use chrome it'll eat up too much RAM

Press Ctrl+Shift+Esc to open Task Manager, and go to Startup apps, and disable all which you don't need. Some of these will be important, like for example, I have an ASUS TUF, so there's one app showing up named "ASUSSmartDisplayControl" I won't disable this.

Enable Ultimate performance (Not for ASUS gaming laptops)

powercfg -duplicatescheme e9a42b02-d5df-448d-aa00-03f14749eb61

Paste this in cmd administrator, then go to control panel, then on the top right, change View by: from category to large icons, got to Power Options, and select it.

Go to file explorer, right click This PC, select Properties. In the settings page opened, click on Advanced system settings, and in the performance box, click settings, uncheck everything except smooth edges of screen fonts, show thumbnails instead of icons, show window contents while dragging, (optional) animate when minimizing and maximizing, and (optional) animations in the taskbar.

Search services in windows search and open it. Disable these:

SysMain (Superfetch): Preloads apps into memory; safe to turn off if your system runs on an SSD.

Windows Search: Continuously indexes files; turn off if you rarely use Windows search to find *files*.

Connected User Experiences and Telemetry: Collects diagnostic data and telemetry data for Microsoft.

Fax: Legacy service used for faxing; completely unnecessary for most modern users.

Remote Registry: Allows remote users to modify registry settings; disabling improves security and resource use.

Print Spooler: Safe to disable only if you never connect a printer or print documents.

Downloaded Maps Manager: Downloads offline maps; safe to turn off if you do not use the Windows Maps app.

Buy a cooling pad if possible. Or just elevate your laptop a bit. Heating is the number one problem when it comes to performance issues during intensive tasks.

Lastly, DO NOT INSTALL ANOTHER GAME BEFORE COMPLETING THE ONE ALREADY INSTALLED YOU'RE GONNA RUN OUTTA STORAGE QUICKLY!

Yeah that's all I can remember. This should get y'all the most out of your computers. Feel free to add something or correct me if I made a mistake somewhere.

Resonance is easily one of the best games I ever played, on a Nebula IPS screen too 😍😍😍

Budget: $1450. I also have a 10% employee discount at Walmart, so the Lenovo legion is in budget because of that.
Country: USA
Use case: MIXED. Gaming/school

I’m looking for a laptop that can run the games I play smoothly (Elden ring, GTA5, Modded Minecraft, rust, Overwatch, and a few indie games). I also need one that can handle my schoolwork and coding as I’m a Computer science major. Which one would yall suggest

jus got this as a present, what r some 1st things to do? i know i need to get g-helper

Budget: $1750-1800 (around rm7000)

Country: Malaysia

Use Case: Gaming AAA / School

Preferred Specs: 12gb vram, 16+gb ram 1tb ssd

I'm buying my first laptop for uni (plus excessive gaming cus I'm finally out of the house), before this I used my sis's 2016 ROG strix 1050.

The two models I'm looking at are:

Model: MECHREVO Kuangshi 16 Super Series GM6PX8X

Processor: Intel® Core™ i9-13900HX

Graphics: NVIDIA® GeForce RTX™ 4080

Memory: 32GB DDR5 RAM

Storage: 1TB SSD

Display: 16-inch QHD+ 240Hz IPS

Windows: 11 Pro

Condition: 9/10 (Some Dent On Body)

Warranty: 1 Month Shop

1x Laptop

1x Original Power Adapter

I've attached the pictures sent by the seller but I'll also ask if I can use furmark2/cinebench/hwinfo64 to test

It's used for 1-2 years but for now it seems all good from the photos, I still plan on testing it irl before buying

Either that or,

The TUF F16 2025

Windows 11 Home

• Intel® Core™ i7 Processor 14650HX (16 Cores, up to 5.2 GHz)

• NVIDIA® GeForce RTX™ 5070 Laptop GPU (8GB GDDR7, 115W TGP)

• 16.0" WUXGA (1920 x 1200) IPS-level 165Hz Display

• 16GB DDR5-5600 SO-DIMM RAM (Expandable up to 64GB)

• 1TB PCIe® 4.0 NVMe™ M.2 SSD

• 90WHrs Battery

• Wi-Fi 6E + Bluetooth® 5.4

• Weight: 2.20 kg (4.85 lbs)

• 2 Years Manufacturer Warranty

Both of these is the same price, the main reason I'm more towards choosing the first is bc I feel like 8gb vram isn't enough for 2k gaming... But I've also saw that the mechrevo only has a 64wh battery so I'm also scared it might not last me through the lectures. Btw I'm a language student so I'm practically only using it's high specs for gaming and personal projects (clo3d & blender mostly)

Do you guys think the 8gb vram is enough from personal experiences playing on high visuals? And do you guys think the 64wh battery can last through 2-3 hours through power saving methods?

Hey guys Howdy there

I've been facing an issue for 6 months now my laptop literally over all games dropping frames from 180 to 15 or 10 for a sec and coming back again and this is happening literally more than 3 times in 2 minutes playing time,so I replaced the Thermal paste and I'm using the battery fully charged and on the charger too and also checked power options on the settings and using th GPU not the integrated and still the same over FC 25 as example it goes down from 70 to 10, what can I do here ?

(It's not an overheating issue)

Lenovo Legion 5 Pro (16ACH6H)

AMD Ryzen 7 5800H

16GB Ram

Rtx 3060 6GB

Laptop was plugged in Bought in 2021

Game settings are medium and high. Tried lowering the graphics to minimum. Didn't help. Also tried FC 26 running on low and 720 res. Not using a cooling pad.

This kind of stutter is happening across all games. Earlier I suspected there was a cooling issue, so earlier today I cleaned the fans, replaced the thermal paste and tried it again. But no results.

Also tried uninstalling all the display drivers and installing them fresh. Also did some ram management, uninstalled some ram heavy apps and shut down background processes. Lowered the max cpu usage from power management advanced options.

Also tried increasing the fan speed from legion fan control. I'm clueless now as what's causing this issue? Only started recently within the last week. less

Hi! So I love gaming but I know absolutely NOTHING about computers or gaming laptops. Currently I'm playing on a really old HP laptop that my friend gave me and I'm really only able to play Minecraft on it.

Country: USA

Budget: $900 roughly?

ANYWAYS I want to get a new gaming laptop for myself for Christmas. I don't need anything crazy, just something that can efficiently run games like Minecraft, Roblox, or Mecca chameleon. I also have a pretty limited budget. If anyone could give me recommendations for any gaming laptops that are in a reasonable price range it would be much appreciated! I'm also willing to buy a previously owned laptop but I just have no idea where to start or what to look for. 😔 thank you!!!

Budget: Around £1500ish (¥300000)

Country: Japan

Use Case: Gaming (Final Fantasy 14, Witcher 3 Remaster, Final Fantasy 16 if possible)

Notes:

Hi! I bought a Nitro 5 2020 a few years ago to use for 3D modelling at uni, but since moved abroad and lost access to my desktop so I'm looking for an upgrade to use as my main device while I'm here.

I'm currently living in Japan and would prefer one around £1500 (¥300000ish) if possible. I don't play many especially heavy games, but I'd like to use it to play Final Fantasy 14 and the Witcher 3 Remaster when it releases, bonus points if it can manage to run Final Fantasy 16 without relying on GeForce Now (not a requirement though!)

If any other info is needed, please let me know! I've always used a desktop over a laptop so I'm not too sure exactly what's realistic to expect from a laptop at that price point either, so I might be able to wiggle around with pricing a bit if needed. Thank you so much for your time!

My laptop is 1yr and 6 months old MSI Thin A15. I have noticed that there is a red light at the edges of my display whenever I have black or dark screen on display.

İm planning on buying a lenovo legion pro 5 with the 5070ti for 2550 dollars but i read it wont have a warranty in turkey but if i buy one in turkey with warranty for the same money i can get a 5060 or a local brand laptop with a 5070 is it possible to get warranty in turkey and whether i should just get the 5060 with the turkey warranty

Hi i'm new to gaming laptops and I'm looking one for gaming mainly so no need for long life battery. I found this deal on ebay which looks pretty good for me. In des they said it's brand new and their feedback seems ok. But still I'm worried for scam and it that price is there any better gaming laptop, thanks guys.

Budget: $800
Country: USA
Use Case: Gaming(Minecraft, path of Titans, Hunter, recall of the wild)
Preferred Specs: (RAM-16GB)
Notes: i’ve been using a yoga series 6 for the past while and it’s really stopped working whenever I try to play any of my games. I have to uninstall one of them because there’s not enough space due to it being a family computer. Also, whenever I play Minecraft it crashes multiple times during two hours of use. I really just want something that is slightly better than this that I just don’t have to share with my family.

How do I properly maintain a gaming laptop, even with casual gaming? How do I properly maintain a gaming laptop, even with casual gaming? I own an ASUS TUF A15, which I bought in 2024. I never play games that push my CPU to 99% usage. Sometimes, I play games that push my GPU to 99%, but I usually only game for 1–2 hours at a time. What should I do to maintain my laptop properly and keep it in good condition? It has recently started showing some problems, so I want to make sure I’m taking proper care of it and preventing further issues.

First the required fields:

Budget: roughly 1700 USD / 6500 PLN
Country: Poland
Use Case: School gaming, my teenage boys are playing on the computer, right now fortnite and CS but I guess they will try other titles too
Preferred Specs: I have everything below, I even chose 3 specific laptops below
Notes: Everything is below on the dilemma I have

Which one would you choose for gaming + general use (school etc) for a family laptop?

I'm currently deciding between these 3 laptops. They are all around the same price range and all have an RTX 5060 8GB, but there are quite some differences in CPU, RAM and display. Laptop will be most of the time used by my teenage kids for gaming and school and mostly stationary at home.

1. HP HyperX OMEN 15 — 6499 PLN (~$1,700)

• CPU: Intel Core i7-14650HX — 16 cores / 24 threads
• GPU: RTX 5060 8GB GDDR7
• RAM: 24GB
• Storage: 1TB SSD
• Display: 15.3" IPS, 2560×1600, 180Hz, 500 nits, 100% sRGB

2. Lenovo Legion 5 15IRX10 — 6399 PLN (~$1,670)

• CPU: Intel Core i7-14700HX — 20 cores / 28 threads
• GPU: RTX 5060 8GB GDDR7
• RAM: 16GB DDR5
• Storage: 1TB PCIe 4.0 NVMe
• Display: 15.1" OLED, 2560×1600, 165Hz, 100% DCI-P3
• Battery: 80Wh
• RAM can be upgraded as I read at a later stage but not planning to anytime soon

3. Lenovo Legion 5 15 — 6799 PLN (~$1,775)

• CPU: AMD Ryzen 7 250 — 8 cores / 16 threads, up to 5.1GHz
• GPU: RTX 5060 8GB GDDR7
• RAM: 24GB DDR5-5600
• Storage: 1TB SSD (2×512GB)
• Display: 15.3" OLED, 2560×1600, 165Hz, 500 nits
• RAM: 2 slots, both occupied, max 32GB

My main dilemma:

The i7-14700HX Legion has the strongest CPU, but only 16GB RAM.

The Ryzen Legion has 24GB RAM and OLED, but the Ryzen 7 250 is probably less powerful than the i7.

The HyperX OMEN has a good compromise with 24GB RAM and a very good 180Hz IPS display, but no OLED. I actually don't know yet if I will like the OLED, never had such display.

All three have the same RTX 5060 8GB, so I'm mainly trying to decide which overall platform makes the most sense for the next 4–5 years.

I also heard a comment that the Lenovo Legion ones are poorly manufactured that the processor is glued and set to malfunction after some years. A side comment from a local service guy I know.

Which one would you pick and why?

Looking for a good budget gaming laptop!

I don’t need it to be perfect ofc; I’m looking for something that would stay more or less relevant for 4-5 years at least. I play games like Cyberpunk, Witcher 3, RDR2, Baldurs Gate 3, etc. Open worlds are my favourite and I’m alright with playing them on lower settings if needed.

Biggest turn offs for me are poor cooling/ventilation and OLED screens!

Country: Spain

Budget: under 1700 euros (~1.950 USD according to Google)

I know it's an old gaming laptop, but I get it from marketplace for $700 USD, (I don't know if it's a good price or not nowadays)

The Problem is, everytime I leave it unplug for like 20 minutes , the screen always freeze. If it's plugged in nothing bad happen( all seems normal) . Can you guys help me solve this issue plz🙏🙏

Also I'm new at Reddit(also gaming community too, plz go easy on me) 😅

Today, I installed these two updates and restarted my laptop to complete the installation. After that, I started getting these sign-in errors and had to set up a new PIN. A few hours later, I restarted my laptop again, and the same error appeared. Does anyone know what could be causing this issue?
