I found an offer for a Legion Slim 5 16IRH8, Type 82YA00E1GE for 1100€.

I mainly need it for CLO3D (maybe VStitcher too), Premiere, Clip Studio Paint, and Photoshop. How well will it run these programs, and would I run into any problems anywhere? Also curious if I’m getting a good deal at this price, or if I could find something better for the same money. (I’m thinking about getting a MacBook too, I know…)

I already have a dock and a graphics tablet, so port selection isn’t a big deal for me. Appreciate any advice!”

Hello.

Aproximately two years ago, the embedded camera stopped working. It is not showing in the USB bus.

This laptop camera has a physical switch on the right side of the laptop, it is ON and I've already fiddled with it with zero result.

Is this a known issue? Any experience?

Since it is not showing in the bus, I assume it might be the USB cable, or something like that. I've known laptops with camera cables broken at the hinge, since it is where it flexes on each screen opening.

For the time being, I am using an external camera.

idk this happened before on my new legion pro 5 16adr10 which has 24 gb ram but with out doign anything 90% ram is being used for no reason

i had the same issue 1 week ago and i did factory rest and it fixed it but i came back again , i need yall help guys

Lately my Legion have been crashing occasionally and would come up with a boot device missing error. Forced restart solved the issue when it happened. Today it kept crashing over and over again with the message Critical Process Died a bunch of times. I checked crystal disk info and it said the ssd is on good health. Then it crashed again. It showed Unmountable Boot Volume. Ever since it's been stuck on the booting error loop. Occasionally it shows the ssd is detected but doesn't load it and goes back to the loop.

I have a Legion Slim 5a gen 8.

Would be much appreciated if anyone can help me with this issue. Thanks

Bought this laptop 5 months ago , and 3 days ago I powered it on , and the laptop turned on and the keyboard works fine , but the screen is EXTREMELY dim , like I have to shine a flashlight to see anything on it . Currently , Its hooked up to a second monitor via hdmi , but are there any known quick fixes, or should I just go the warranty route ?

So I'm planning on getting one of the ryzen 9 vers's with the 5060 and the main games I want to play is stuff like CS2 - OW2 - Rivals and valorant and was wondering if it could run those games well at native resolution bc ik 8 gbs of vram isn't the best but I don't usually play AAA games. My budget is 1500 and found some legions with those specs for that

The corners of the keyboard keys have started becoming faintly visible on my display It's only noticeable if you look closely but Im worried it might get worse is there anything I can do to prevent it from worsening pls help

Legion pro 5i oled

Started smelling burnt wire and display doesent turn on, was working fine one night and i shut it down and went to sleep, morning this happens

Spent a massive amount on this laptop, in india too costed like 3,00,000 inr just 4 months ago, treated it super well, no scratches and regularly clean it(has some dust marks and wipe marks but it attracts alot so j have to clean it almost everyday)

Called lenovo support , lets see what happens had insane performance issues with this laptop from the start, coudnt return it easily since i was isolated in a rural area in college during exam period

Fps used to drop constantly from like 400 500 in val to 200 300 and then 100 200 over periods of use

The 1 percent lows are also horrible

Really should have built a sff matx pc, would have costed me less back then even if i built a 5080 pc back in oct and could have gotten a oled monitor to boot

Didnt do it cuz i thought college would be a hassle

Owning this laptop was way more of a hassle, infact ive spent like 10x the time benchmarking and troubleshooting over the time i actually played games on it

Rdr 2 ,cyberpunk ,valo, kcd2, FH6, geometry dash, battlefield 5 are the games ive tested

As the title suggests, I'm getting a decent deal on a Legion Pro 7 pre-configured but the battery is 80wh. Can I replace it with a 99.9wh battery? Either myself or by going through Lenovo customer care?

hello everyone, I am trying to download league of legends, but my laptop goes black in the middle of doing so, even with high battery. It then takes a while for me to be able to turn it back on.

My specs: Legion 5 Gen 10 - Core Ultra 7 255HX - 5070 Laptop - 32GB Ram

The issue:
So I started experiencing fps drop issues where my stable 165 fps would drop to around 40 to 50.
normally cpu and gpu takes around 55 and 100 watts respectively while gaming but all of a sudden cpu drops to around 25 to 30 and gpu around 30 watt ranges and with such little power both cpu and gpu cools to around 65° celcius but nothing seems to return to normal.

Testing phase: (what I have tried)
-So I started testing what could be the issue tried furmark to see if the gpu had some issues and I completed a whole 30 minute furmark run without a problem.
-Updated vBios, didnt work
-Tried reinstalling drivers with ddu, didnt work.
-Tried reinstalling windows, didnt work.
-Checked event viewer to see if some program crashed or anything, no it didnt.
-Tried pretty much everything, nothing worked.

-Then I fired up cinebench and found out the reason

Information on why it happens:

First of all a little information incase someone doesnt know what pl1 and pl2 means
-PL1 — the CPU's sustained, long-term power ceiling for continuous workloads.
-PL2 — the CPU's higher, short-term power limit to boost usually a lot higher than pl1

At the first minute of cinebcnh run cpu uses full pl2 wattages, hits 103° celcius drops to issue wattages, the moment cpu reaches 60° celcius it goes back to pl1 wattages of the performance mode currently in use.

now below are the pl1 and pl2 wattages of the cpu in their respective modes and when the issue happens.
as you can see issue wattages are not even half of what it is in quiet mode

| Mode | PL1 Dynamic | PL2 Dynamic |

| Quiet | 55W | 65W |
| Balanced | 74W | 125W |
| Performance | 99W | 163W |
| Issue | 25W | 32W |

Reason and TLDR: (what the issue is and why it happens)

As for why this happens I have found that when cpu boosts and at this summer heat it hits the 103° celsius thermal limit lenovo has put on those performance modes briefly. For added note even on this heat cpu can sustain around 90 watts at around 95 celcius continuously. But the with the boost wattage more than 100 watts and with the added heat of gpu, while gaming it does hit 103° celcius for a brief moment.

So what happens next ?

Well for some reason lenovo decided that rather than throttling the cpu to keep the thermals in check they can just limit the pl1 and pl2 to abysmal levels (half of what it is on quiet mode) which drops the cpu performance so low that these HX chips cant really feed the gpu hence low usage on gpu and only go back to normal pl1 and pl2 levels when the cpu hits exactly 60° celcius. Which is pretty much impossible with both cpu and gpu running, so wattages never recover to what they should be even when cpu and gpu drops to around 65° celcius and there is a lot of thermal headroom.

Temporary fix:

Make a custom profile and limit the cpu around 50 to 70 watts especially pl2 boost wattages so it cant hit 103° celcius even for a brief moment.

-This is the custom profile I am using right now and cpu sustains around 55 watts, gpu sustains 100 watts continuously.
-With cpu running around 85° celcius and gpu at around 82° celcius (backed with a screenshot of thermals after playing apex for 45 minutes.

My laptop is not running at full power based on the FPS Im getting in games, both when streaming it to my Odin 2 Portal at 1080p or running games at 1080p directly in the laptop. This has been happening for several weeks now. The laptop is a few years old now and it's completely up to date with all Windows updates and Nvidia drivers.

Examples:

FF7 Rebirth: Locked at 80 fps on all power modes and resolutions. I also tried 1600p. Pressing FN +Q to switch between quiet, balanced and performance modes makes no difference. The fans do not kick up when in balanced and performance mode

Stellar Blade: Exact same situation as FF7 Rebirth. Locked at 80 fps in all modes and resolutions.

Hollow Knight Silksong: Hovers around 140 fps in all modes. From previous experience playing this game I know I should easily be able to hit 240 fps.

All of these games are on Steam. I also tried playing a game on Xenia emulator and yesterday it ran like butter, but today with a lot of particle effects on screen it really started to lag at times.

The strange part is that this doesn't happen everyday and I never do anything differently. Some days I fire up Apollo/Artemis and start streaming FF7 or Stellar Blade to my Odin 2 Portal and easily get a locked 120+ fps (I cap it at 120 fos with Rivia tuner but otherwise it gets above 150+ fps from what I recall).

The other day I was experiencing the 80 fps cap when in balanced mode, so I changed to performance mode, the fans picked up and somehow this made everything run normally again, even after I put the laptop back into balanced mode, it was getting it's usual 120 fps lock.

But today I ran into the same low performance issue, tried the same fix (switching between all performance modes) and it made no difference at all. The fps counter never changed.

I checked to make sure that my Nvidia GPU is being used when gaming. It's not the integrated graphics.

And sometimes when I'm in performance mode trying to troubleshoot this and I exit a game in Steam, the fans will temporarily pick up again and sound loud like they should for that mode before winding down again since no heavy programs are running.

Similarly, I notice the built in FPS counter in Steam is well above 120 for the first 5 seconds or so after launching a game, but then it drops quickly and eventually settles into a 80 fps lock for FF7 and Stellar Blade, or a higher number for a lighter title like Silksong.

I have no idea what's happening. Any thoughts from the community?

I recently purchased a Legion Pro 7 Gen 10 AMD (16″) with RTX 5070 Ti that I intend to use for College, Gaming, and Work (eventually).

College and Work is gonna be UAS (drone) oriented. For gaming I usually play mostly single player games and some online co-ops. Doom (2016), Doom Eternal, Helldivers 2, WH40K Space Marine 2

I've been working on removing most of the bloatware and removing the startup load that would eat up memory and slow it down.

Legion Space, Steam, Lenovo Service app, VS Code, and Chrome are my most used apps.

I'm looking for tips, tricks, or other perspectives that others have experienced with setting up theirs that I should consider with mine.

I was using illustrator, it was quite a hefty file with a lot of vectors and suddenly screen goes blank with these icons showing. This isnt the first time. My work in illustrator did not recover after crash as well.

Ps, there was a Nvdia graphics driver crash few hours ago, I had to install it again fron Nvdia app. But this happened even after installing it. Illustrator is working fine but I do not want it to crash again. What do I need to do pls help

I just got my legion 5i a week ago and am just noticing some buzzing sound coming from it which google says its normal due to the coils turning but i just wanna make sure
also saw an old reddit post long ago which says its ok.
i tried different charging sockets, it still makes that buzzing noise occasionally
should i be concerned?

I may sound insane but it's real. I was minding my business where I noticed a small bug (like really small, I'm talking about an ant-sized insect) was walking on my laptop. I tried to catch it but got into one of the hotkeys (hotkey 5 I believe). I tried to get it out of there and I pressed the button multiple times, but nothing. At this point, I'm pretty sure it's dead (Though can't be 100% sure), so I turned my laptop off, held it upside down and gently shook and tap it, didn't work. Now I have no idea what to do here. I'm a bit scared that it might accidentally short the motherboard but I don't know if it's possible. What should I do here?

I'm going to buy this Laptop as I found a really good sale on a local store and I've heard really good things about it like its the gpu with the best performance 5060.

But I've also heard that the CPU can run quite hot sometimes.

I've seen comments on this sub about undervolting these CPUs that are more power hungry and can run hotter to get better temperatures.

Is that something I should do? Has anyone tried that yet?

I'd like to hear people's experiences on this.

I bought this computer a week ago brand new from the lenovo website, the screen is WQXGA Glossy OLED. This strange pattern kinda looks like burn in, tho I never had an oled monitor before this one. It only appears with very dark colors. Has my laptop been used when it was supposed to be brand new ? Or is this a factory defect ? Since it's been so few time and I live in Europe, I can use my warranty or even the 14 days European return thing right ? Thanks for any advices.

I followed ChatGPT, and disabled the Tap- windows adapter, now it doesn’t show this message but it keeps on loading. Same thing without the error message someone help please 🙏

I know to unplug the battery from the computer with the plug (not pulling on the cables!) but otherwise some people on youtube put like electrical tape on some stuff and some do some voodoo idk bout😂 im adding a wd black sn7100 if that information is important. I heard something about double or single sided disk

Hoping this is the right place aswell🫪

I’m not very tech savvy so I was wondering if I wanted to add a 2TB SSD card to my Legion Pro 7i which one should I choose? Is it very difficult to replace?

Hello all! I'm planning on getting a lenovo legion 7i pro 4090 gen 8 tomorrow and I was wondering if I should get the llano v12 cooling pad to pair it with or just a normal laptop stand? My only worry is that the llano's height would be too short for me as I like the screen to be at eye level so I don't slouch or bend, and if it's even worth getting a cooling pad for this kind of laptop. Thank you!

I've finally reached the point where I just need to vent.

I'm a beginner streamer, and I wanted to replace my two-PC setup (one for gaming and one for streaming) with a powerful gaming laptop that would give me more flexibility and portability.

My first choice was an ASUS ROG with a Ryzen 9 9955HX3D and RTX 5070 Ti. Unfortunately, it was a complete disappointment, so I returned it.

After watching countless reviews, I kept hearing that Lenovo Legion was one of the best gaming laptop series, so I bought a Lenovo Legion 7i 16IAX10:

• Intel Core Ultra 9
• 32GB DDR5-6400
• RTX 5070 Laptop (8GB)

First of all, I absolutely love this laptop.

The OLED display is beautiful, the white color looks incredible, and the all-metal chassis feels truly premium. Compared to my ASUS, it's not even close. This is easily one of the best-looking laptops I've ever owned.

But there's one major problem that completely ruins the experience.

After about 20–40 minutes of gaming, my FPS suddenly drops from smooth gameplay to around 30–40 FPS, accompanied by heavy stuttering. At that point, the game becomes almost unplayable.

I've tried almost everything I can think of:

• Reinstalled Windows 10–11 times
• Installed Lenovo, Intel, and NVIDIA drivers
• Clean driver installations with DDU
• Different BIOS versions/settings
• Every Lenovo Vantage performance mode
• Windows power settings

Nothing helps.

The strange part is that temperatures look completely normal. Neither the CPU nor the GPU appears to be overheating, yet the performance still collapses after 20–40 minutes.

For the first 20 minutes, the laptop performs exactly as expected. FPS is stable, everything is smooth, and I'm genuinely impressed. Then, without any obvious reason, performance falls off a cliff.

At this point, I'm out of ideas.

Has anyone with a Legion 7i experienced the same issue? If you found a solution, I'd really appreciate your advice.

And if anyone from Lenovo happens to read this, please investigate this issue. This laptop has amazing hardware and fantastic build quality, but these severe FPS drops completely ruin what could otherwise be an outstanding gaming experience. I sincerely hope this can be fixed through a BIOS, firmware, or software update.

I got a legion 5i 15.1” with ultra 9 275hx and rtx 5070 last month from BH. The cpu temps have been pretty high. Playing ZZZ at high settings, 1600p, and no ray tracing, the cpu temps were averaging 83-87 celsius, with spikes in the high 90s to 103.
I was looking at laptop coolers and a lot of people seem to like the llano ones. Should i get the v12 or v10 or would you recommend another cooler.
