Review on 🎮 Lenovo Legion 5 Gaming Laptop with AMD Ryzen 7, 16GB RAM, 512GB SSD, and NVIDIA GTX 1660Ti by Micha Chmielewski ᠌

Revainrating 1 out of 5

A terrible purchase, I sympathize with everyone who bought it.

Got advantages: It has a good CPU and GPU, with average temperatures of 80 and 70 degrees, which is excellent for such hardware (3070 and Ryzen 7), a case that is not easily scratched, plenty of ports, a good screen and normal sound, an efficient cooling system, but with a subtlety about the drawbacks. Several drawbacks The cooling system's issue is not that it is inefficient—it is quite efficient, and there are no complaints—rather, it is that it continues to run even while the machine is inactive. It would be one thing if it operated while you weren't looking so that you didn't notice it, but its sound is so loud that it literally hurts your ears. I am aware that each person's body has a unique trait like this, but if you were unfortunate like I was, brace yourself for a headache. The saddest part is that there is no fix for this; there is no fan speed control, and the laptop operating modes have no bearing on the fan loudness. I looked into this issue on Google and discovered that I'm not the only one; simply browse the forums for this particular type of laptops to see how many people lament the constant fan noise. They claim that the 7th series of legions fixed issue, but the price of the 7th series is close to $200k with comparable GPU and CPU. Someone suggests caulking the air intake holes, another suggests wearing headphones, but in my perspective, a device costing $122,000 shouldn't cause hemorrhoids. I'm ready for noise when I'm gaming, but not when I'm not. I had to keep iPads close at hand as I tested the laptop. If you don't mind this and are willing to make compromises of this nature, the product is superb in every other way.

Pros below: A very fast laptop with an up-to-date graphics card. Cons below: It is heavy, but this is inevitable with its cooling system.
