Review on Lenovo Legion 5i: High-Performance Gaming Laptop with 17.3" FHD IPS 144Hz Display, i7-10750H Processor, GeForce RTX 2060 6GB, 16GB, 1TB SSD, Win 10 Home by Kio Dump ᠌

Revainrating 4 out of 5

The product is good, there are only a few minor flaws.

3. The monitor used in this version is BOEhydis NV173FHM-N47 - matte 17 inch screen with 60Hz, 300 NIT, coverage 72% NTSC, sRGB - 92% (panelook dot com or laptopmedia dot com). There is No PWM (Flicker-Free) - there will be no severe eye fatigue and headaches from the screen. The color gamut is sufficient for my purposes. 4. Pre-installed home WIN10, utilities L, McAfee (immediately removed). The software is not annoying. I did not see the opportunity to choose WIN10 PRO, if it is important for legal entities. 5. I don’t play games - during normal operation of the cooling system I can’t hear it - “it doesn’t rustle, a bag” (J. Alisa). In my opinion, cooling looks very interesting and reasonable - hot air does not touch the screen in the open and closed state - another criterion (plus), which I consider important in my case. However, it should be noted that the laptop still heats up (warm) without load, namely the bottom - warm air comes out of there as well. Perhaps this is due to the fact that there is no internal video card - an “external” nVIDIA GeForce GTX 1650 Ti (Lenovo) is used. Two video cards are better, since the external card spends more energy, heats up and is less reliable. Battery life without heavy load about 5 hours 6. SSD (SAMSUNG MZVLB256HBHQ-000L2) + HDD (WDC WD10SPZX-08Z10). The type of SSD is inexpensive TLC, but this is SAMSUNG - already reliable. Given the price and nuances, there is no WOW. But it works, and it’s not a pity to let the children play. For a hundred thousand, the choice is debatable - there are competitors much cheaper, with the same or better set of hardware (+ / -), for example ASUS TUF, ACER NITRO 5, HP OMEN. They are no worse, but the price is better (especially on Hong Kong 5/7). If you need to save money and have the skills to install RAM, etc., then you can consider the minimum configuration (8 RAM, HDD) and add RAM / SSD / HDD yourself.

Pros
  • Model 82B3002DRU. I bought for remote work and for children (study + games). 1. Appearance and body. It looks like a male and brutal laptop, hard plastic (the lid is also plastic, so it slips through), a strong mechanism holds the lid. Battery, HDD, RAM are accessible after removing the cover. I did not find out whether it is possible to change WI-FI modules, etc., but RAM, hard drives are available for replacement (unscrew the bolts and remove the cover). The laptop is heavy and bulky and is more suitable as a replacement for a desktop laptop. If you use a laptop as a system unit, along with a large monitor, mouse and wired keyboard, then the case is very successful - I close the laptop screen and get a thin system unit. The case is made in such a way that hot air from the cooling system does not touch the screen, even when closed - this criterion was essential for me. 2. Connectors and other - minimum set: 5 USB, incl. Type C; 1 HDMI; combined sound; RJ-45 network input (Realtek RTL8168 - not important, since you can buy an adapter to USB), Wi-FI 8022022 ax (for the future - Intel Wi-Fi 6 AX201 160MHz) - works stably at 2.4 GHz (but the network 5 GHz does not even see the SSID), Bluetooth 5 is not bad; card reader. Thunderbolt missing. The ability to connect a second monitor via Type C has not yet been tested. There is a curtain for the camera, but so far it closes tightly (I can’t close / open it with one movement). The quality of the camera is so-so in terms of color, but maybe this is for the best for morning video conferences. The sound is relatively loud and there is nothing else to add (nVIDIA TU117 HDMI/DP) - not Hi-Fi. The keyboard is comfortable (IBM enhanced (101- or 102-key) keyboard) - does not sag.
Cons
  • Overpriced

Some pros: LAPTOP JUST FIRE! And there is nothing to say.) With its cons. Came in a box with a very wrinkled corner. But the laptop is intact, everything is in order, the factory packaging is of high quality
