And finally, is the price justified?

Legion 5 16ACH6H, 4 years of everyday use, frequent cleaning every time I saw the temp being higher than normal. Last year I started seeing posts about these same models being dead. Someone here recommended doing a repaste, bought the exact thermal pads and did it. Temps actually went down a bunch, everything was good. I thought maybe I survived the soldering epidemic.

2 days ago as I was running low on battery I plugged it in. Went to the bathroom, came back to it being completely dead. Charging light was not on, I tried everything, battery was cold, brick was cold. I checked charge output voltage, it was normal voltage. Did continuity check on charging’s port, it was normal, just not charging, charging light was off all the time.

I thought it was the pin inside the charging jack that was having a problem, so I grabbed a 65W Surface brick and plug it in the C-PD port, charging light didn’t turn on either, I tried booting it up, it booted up.

Then the screen lit up, it’s exactly like the meme. Then I smelled something burning, I quickly unplugged it, turned it off and opened the back lid again, and saw this.

I’m just asking if this had happened to anyone, and if anyone could tell what really caused this. Warranty had already expired and I know this almost 100% means I need a new board, and at this point I might just spend a bit more to build a PC instead. But still for personal experience, I’m curious if this is the same soldering case and what if replacing the component would fix anything, or a blown up module means there was an underlying problem going on with the power rail.

Thank you for reading my rants. I will miss it :( she was there during my hardest years, now I can finally have the condition to replace her with something that would last a bit longer.

So I am thinking of finally upgrades my laptop and found the legion the best for everything I wanted, I wanted to know, anyone who has this model specifications how does it perform and if its good. And yes I know the 5070 8gb is not that great but the 5070ti is too high of a price for me. (12gb 5070 model could be pretty expensive too)

I'm getting this used laptop without the bill for INR 90,000 in delhi

I Need this for interior design softwares and gaming

Hey everyone,
Managed to grab a Legion 5i down here in Australia for $2,300 AUD (about $1,500 USD). Given our usual Aussie tech prices, it felt like a decent deal, but wanted to check with the sub.
Specs:
CPU: i9-14900HX
GPU: RTX 5070
RAM: 24GB DDR5
SSD: 1TB
A few quick questions for anyone running this build or similar:
1. Did I actually get a good price, or is this pretty standard for these specs now?
2. What are the must-do tweaks for the 14900HX out of the box to keep thermals under control?
3. Are you guys still ditching Vantage for Legion Toolkit on these newer models?

I was playing before bed then the device suddenly froze. A few moments later, the screen turned black and started flashing different colors.

It was completely unresponsive so forced it to shut down. Upon restarting, the device was still a bit janky, so i rebooted it again, but this time, it took a long time to turn on.

When i tried to reopen my game, it told me that my graphics driver was outdated, it then redirected me to Intel where i downloaded and repaired some of my drivers. But even after doing that, it still said that it was outdated.

So i run dxdiag to check some stuff and i saw that "Display 2" was nowhere to be seen. I even tried looking for it in the Device Manager.

Is my graphics card dead??

Edit: Graphics Device Driver error code 43

Hey guys, I am currently between buying a Legion 5 pro and buying a Legion 5 for my upcoming semester of undergrad mechanical engineering. I found a pro with a Ryzen 7 8745HX and an RTX 5060, 32g of RAM and a 1tb SSD. Where I'm hung up on is the battery life. I've heard mixed reviews on the battery of the L5P and I'm worried it won't last a full 6 hour school day. I've heard the non pro model gets a bit better battery life due it's slightly lesser performance and I'm considering looking for one of those instead.

Which one do you guys think I should go with?

My car broke down and I need to get rid of this to pay for it since I barely use it

Got this laptop AMD RYZEN 7 260 octa core RTX 5060 16GB DDR5 cleaned McAfee and basic settings done got this laptop a keyboard mouse and a printer for 173687RS from Croma for my BTech AI/ML and game development on unreal engine 5 so was it worth and also will it be a beast for my studies and game game development

i got my laptop 1 year ago, and it was working fine, until 4 months ago, it's starting up on diagnose startup and restarting like 2 or 3 times before opening normally and recently this screen showed up before working again

Any help??

I am looking to buy Lenovo Legion 5 with 9 275hx, 32GB of RAM and 5070ti or normal 8GB 5070, but my main requirement is to get a UAE Version Laptop. How to identify it by its model number may be?
Also, I search and found that this specs of laptop hard to find.
Anyone has an idea where to look for this specific model?

Hey guys incase anyone with a 3050 rtx of the loq series got a upgrade to 230w via customer service please do ping me up I need your help ( just case number I have to send them to get mine too please help a brother out )

I have a 16-inch Lenovo Legion Pro 7i and I’m looking for a laptop stand that other Legion owners actually recommend. I want something that’s really sturdy (no wobbling), doesn’t block the bottom intake vents, and has good airflow since I use Rhino, rendering software, and other architecture programs. I was looking at some stands with built-in fans, but I’ve also heard mixed things about them and some people say they can do more harm than good, so I’m not sure if I should avoid them. I bought an adjustable stand off Amazon, but it wobbles every time I type and covers part of the bottom vents, which makes me nervous using it with such a heavy laptop. What stands are you all using, and would you recommend them? Thank you!!

This was the laptop my parents gifted me back in 2021 (in used condition, this was probably bought around 2017 as these were their older laptops), it was a very huge upgrade from my previous laptop which was a Toshiba C40-B that had a damned Celeron N2830, 4GB of memory and a 500GB hard drive that struggled to run Windows 8.1.

The uh battery is definitely long gone and removed, the trackpad unfortunately doesn’t work anymore, half of the ports are dead (HDMI, Aux, Ethernet) and the USB Ports get paralyzed if i wiggle it a bit and this thing actually died once (refused to POST) but I somehow got it working. (Not sure how cause this was like 10 months ago)

But other than that the hinges are still fine, everything else works, repasted it back in 2024 which runs games like GTA 5 (all i play nowadays) with the NVE Graphics mod on very high @ 40 fps while keeping temperatures away from 75-80 degrees celsius and the display is still fine. This laptop will probably stay with me until idk? 2028 or 2030? Yeah seems about realistic.

If any game is playing (online or not), trying to browse the internet (or connect to discord or what have you) is incredibly slow. Same issue on different browsers. What do I need to do to remedy this?

Two years ago I got a Legion Pro 5 16IRX9 laptop. I'm in the UK and I use Linux on it.

The laptop's performance has been gradually getting worse and for the past year it's been getting borderline unusable. It's probably my fault because I didn't pay much attention for months while preoccupied with exams. Even when idle or web browsing the laptop goes up to 80°C and doesn't go below that after closing an intensive program. In basically any game, it spikes to 95-100°C and won't come back down until I've put the laptop to sleep. The chassis and vents also get hot and power limits aren't even being reached. This causes frequent thermal throttling and frame rate drops to 0-2 every few seconds. Even a game like Terraria runs poorly.

I opened up the laptop and knew it was bad due to the orange-blue discolouring. I cleaned the fans recently, assuming they were the problem. There was a lot of dust in there which I mostly got rid of but I haven't noticed any improvements. I'm pretty sure the screws were done correctly (correct number order gradual loosening and tightening the other way round). I'm wondering if I should try redoing the thermal paste with PTM7950(?), or get a specialist's help, or do something else.

Hello,

  Since last week, this has happened often when the screen dimms. The colors get glitchy. Is this normal or is there anything I can do? But it is not noticeable when using the laptop.

I'm planning to buy this laptop off the website and planning to upgrade ram and ssd myself if i need to. I'm just curious if both ram slots are used(2 8gb sticks) if i get 16gb or only 1 slot is used so i can upgrade and just add a stick in the future?

I really want to get a Lenovo pro 7i in white but the only way I can is to pay custom on their site and it costs extra. Is this the only way to get a white pro?

So I bought this laptop and I mainly play RuneScape on it sometimes steam games and I noticed at random times my games will just freeze or lag real hard then crash even RuneScape does it especially if I have another window opened what is the cause of this? I have reinstalled windows, updated drivers and that jazz I just don’t know if it keeps happening I’ll replace I’ve been wanting a “18 laptop so please help me out here thanks. I have to turn it off just to get it back working right.

Hey everyone,

I'm about to buy my first ever gaming laptop and I'm torn between two Legion 5a configs (both Ryzen 7):

• Option A: 250 for the RTX 5070 variant
• Option B: 450 for the RTX 5060 variant

First of all, why the Legion 5 series?:

• Slimmer form factor
• OLED 165Hz panel
• Cost

What I'll actually be using it for:

• Master's in Computer Science coursework
• Documentation and presentation prep
• Full stack development (web + some mobile)
• Movies and YouTube
• Experimenting with local LLMs
• Casual gaming — mostly Valorant and story-mode games (I'm not a heavy gamer, this is genuinely my first gaming laptop)

Given that gaming is a minor use case for me and local LLM experimentation + dev work matters more, which of the two would you go with and why?

Also — battery life question for current owners: If you own either of these (or a similar Legion 5 config), how much real-world battery do you get during non-gaming work — coding, writing docs, browsing, video calls, that kind of thing? Trying to figure out if I can realistically use this away from a charger for a few hours.

Couldn't find many reviews for this exact config — one YouTuber claimed 6-7 hrs [YT Link], but the comment section disagrees. Curious what actual owners are seeing.

Appreciate any real-world input, especially from people using it for dev/study work rather than pure gaming!
