== Input Devices ==
[[File:Legion Pro 5i 2024 Keys.jpg|thumb|Keys with 1.5 mm travel]]
[[File:Webcam.jpg|thumb|Webcam with slight protrusion ]]

=== [[Keyboard]] ===
The Legion Pro 5i comes with a standard keyboard layout with full size number pad and full size arrow keys. The Legion line is one of the few laptops still using a full size standard keyboard. The keyboard offers 1.5 mm travel and 0.2 mm pitch. The RGB backlight has two modes - single zone or quad zone. The refresh rate of the display can be changed using the Fn + R keys - three steps (60, 165, 240 Hz) on the higher-end 240hz display and only two (60, 165 Hz) on the lower-end 165hz display. The Fn + Q keys can be used to switch between the three performance modes - Quiet, Balanced and Performance.<ref name="notebookcheck1" /><ref name="notebookcheck2" />

The typing experience is identical to the [[Lenovo Legion Pro 5i (2023)|previous model]] with the only difference being the inclusion of the Co-Pilot key instead of the right Ctrl key. The deeper travel and stronger feedback result in a better typing experience than competitors like [[Razer Blade]] or [[Asus ROG Zephyrus]].<ref name="predecessor">{{cite web |url=https://www.notebookcheck.net/Lenovo-Legion-Pro-5-16IRX8-laptop-review-A-hefty-US-1600-for-the-GeForce-RTX-4060.712713.0.html |title=Lenovo Legion Pro 5 16IRX8 Review |publisher=NotebookCheck}}</ref>

All known displays support Dolby Vision®, [[G-Sync|Nvidia G-Sync]], Advanced Optimus. The 500 Nit rated panels also support [[VESA]] [[DisplayHDR]] 400<ref name="specs" />.

The BOE NE160QDM-NZB reaches the rated 500 nits, has good screen uniformity and has above average contrast for a IPS panel at around 1400:1 however the black levels are somewhat high at maximum brightness. It also covers almost 100% or sRGB and DCI-P3 as rated and covers around 88 % of AdobeRGB. The screen is not well calibrated out of the box and NotebookCheck records an average ColorChecker DeltaE of 4.3 on their unit. They also measure an average gray to gray response time of 4.8 ms.<ref name="notebookcheck2" />
[[File:Speakers.jpg|thumb|Bottom firing speakers]]
The BOE NE160QDM-NYC is the lowest-end panel offered by Lenovo on this unit. NotebookCheck records average contrast of 1000:1 which is below the rated 1200:1 and a gray to gray response time of 12 ms on their unit however the measured brightness is 8% higher than rated at around 380 nits with good screen uniformity. This panel is also calibrated better than the higher end panel with ColorChecker DeltaE of 0.97 on the tested unit.<ref name="notebookcheck1" />

None of the tested panels exhibit any PWM flickering at any brightness level.<ref name="notebookcheck1" /><ref name="notebookcheck2" />

=== [[Audio]] ===
The Legion Pro 5i comes with two bottom facing speakers near front corners in stereo configuration.<ref name="notebookcheck1" />

The speakers have a low maximum volume around 75 to 80 dB for a 16 inch laptop. They produce balanced to high mids and balanced highs but lack any noticeable bass.<ref name="notebookcheck1" /><ref name="notebookcheck2" />

=== [[Bluetooth]] ===
The Legion Pro 5i comes with a Bluetooth 5.2 module.<ref name="specs" />

=== [[SD Card Reader]] ===
Lenovo does not include an SD card reader with the Legion Pro 5i.<ref name="specs" />

=== [[USB]] ===
Lenovo equips the Legion Pro 5i with the following [[Universal Serial Bus|USB]] ports<ref name="specs" />:

* 1 x USB-A (USB 3.2 Gen 1, 5 Gbps) with always on functionality in the back (right most port when looking from behind).
* 3 x USB-A (USB 3.2 Gen 1, 5 Gbps), one each in the back, left and right side.
* 1 x USB-C (USB 3.2 Gen 2, 10 Gbps) with 140W Lenovo Power Delivery and DisplayPort 1.4 in the back.
* 1 x USB-C (USB 3.2 Gen 2, 10 Gbps) with DisplayPort 1.4 on the left side.

Community reports suggest that the full 140W power delivery is not USB PD 3.1 compliant and only works when using a charger that supports 20V/7A like the [[Lenovo C140]] and when connected to a 220/240 V outlet. Otherwise, the USB-C charging will be limited to 100 W. In either case, performance mode cannot be enabled when charging through USB-C.<ref name="usb">{{cite web |url=https://www.reddit.com/r/LenovoLegion/comments/1aq9ziv/lenovo_legion_140w_usbc_charger/ |title=Legion 140W USB-C charger |publisher=Reddit}}</ref>

=== Display Outputs ===
The Legion Pro 5i comes with 3 display outputs:<ref name="specs" />

* 2 x USB-C with DisplayPort 1.4, one in the back and one on the left side.
* 1 x HDMI 2.1 in the back.

The Legion supports up to 4 displays simultaneously including the built-in display.<ref name="specs" />

== Case ==
[[File:Lid.jpg|thumb|Aluminum lid with plastic bottom]]
The Legion Pro 5i (2024) is only available in one color: onyx grey.<ref name="specs" /> The chassis remains the same as the previous model except for the redesigned ventilation grilles at the bottom which are now hexagons instead of rectangles. The display lid is made out of anodized matte aluminum alloy while the keyboard deck and bottom cover are made out of PC-ABS plastic.<ref name="notebookcheck1" /> The lid opens to the full 180 degrees however the hinge rigidity weakens past ~160 degrees.<ref name="predecessor" /> Surfaces are slightly roughened to reduce fingerprint buildup however it still attracts dust and fingerprints.<ref name="notebookcheck1" /><ref name="predecessor" /> The rear is elongated beyond the display lid and is thicker as well to accommodate a larger internal cooling solution. This contributes to the heavy weight of {{convert|5.6|lbs|kg}}.<ref name="predecessor" /> There are two Lenovo logos - one on the lid on the bottom left and another on the palm rest on the right. There is one big Legion logo on the top right side of the lid.<ref name="specs" />

The chassis has a more professional look compared to the [[Legion 5i Pro (2022)]] with a uniform color instead of a two-tone silver and gray color scheme. There are fewer accents and angles as well.<ref name="predecessor" />

Chassis rigidity is excellent with no audible creaking or weak points. The base and lid exhibits some twisting not enough to be concerning.<ref name="predecessor" />

== Maintenance ==
[[File:Internals.jpg|thumb|Internals]]
The bottom panel is held on by 10 Philips-head screws. Four screws on the leading edge are shorter than the rest. There are clips securing the panel that must be popped up after removing the screws.<ref name=":0" />

'''Upgradeable components:'''<ref name=":0" />

* 80 WHr battery.
* Two M.2 2280 PCIe4 x4 SSDs each covered by a aluminum heatsink (most configurations only have one slot filled from the factory).
* Two DDR5-5600 SODIMMs covered by a single plastic shield (most configurations only have one slot filled from the factory).
* M.2 2230 wireless card.

== Cooling System ==
[[File:Fans.jpg|thumb|Cooling fan]]
[[File:Heatpipes.jpg|thumb|Heatpipes]]
The Legion Pro 5i is equipped with dual 60mm fans connected to the core components with five copper heat pipes. There is one shared heat pipe for the CPU and GPU, one dedicated heat pipe for the CPU and GPU each and another smaller heat pipe for the [[VRM|VRMs]]. The system in takes air from the side and bottom grilles and exhausts air through the back grilles.<ref name="notebookcheck1" />

=== Heat ===
Surface temperatures vary depending on the configuration.

The i7 14700HX + RTX 4060 SKU gets quite warm while idling, up to 39 °C on the bottom of the device. The left side with the WASD keys heats up more than the right side. Under heavy load, there is a hot spot of 57 °C on the bottom.<ref name="notebookcheck2" />

The i9 14900HX + RTX 4070 SKU is slightly cooler while idling across all areas reaching up to 36 °C on the bottom. The palm rest and the WASD keys remain comfortable during intensive tasks.<ref name="notebookcheck1" />

'''Benchmarks:'''

* i7 14700HX + 4060:<ref name="notebookcheck2" />
** Maximum upper side: ~43 °C

** Maximum upper side: ~44 °C
** Maximum bottom: ~55 °C
** Idle upper side: ~33 °C
** Idle bottom: ~36 °C

=== Noise ===
There is no electronic noise or coil whine. The laptop is effectively silent during undemanding loads like light browsing or video playback, hovering below 30 dB(A). During intensive tasks the fans quickly ramp up even when set to balanced mode. Fan noise while gaming in balanced mode is identical to performance mode despite temperatures being noticeably lower in balanced mode. During intensive tasks, the laptops emits noise above 50 db(A) and is louder than most other gaming laptops.<ref name="notebookcheck1" /> Most variants emit the same amount of noise with more powerful configurations being slightly louder.<ref name="notebookcheck1" /><ref name="notebookcheck2" /><ref name=":1" />

== Energy Management ==

=== Power Consumption ===
The Legion Pro 5i ships with a large 300 W AC adapter<ref name="specs" />.

Lenovo remains very liberal with the power supplied to the CPU during combined CPU and GPU loads. Both the i7 14700HX + RTX 4060 and i9 14900HX + RTX 4070 SKUs consume around 220 W during load with temporary spikes to around 290 W. <ref name="notebookcheck1" /><ref name="notebookcheck2" />

The i7 14700HX + RTX 4060 Legion draws around 50 W when idling for the most part, reducing to 15-20 W after waiting a very long time and any minor input brings the consumption back up to 50 W.<ref name="notebookcheck2" />

=== Battery Life ===
All Legion Pro 5i SKUs come with a 80 WHr Li-Polymer battery that Lenovo claims can charge from 0-40 % in 10 mins, 0 - 80 % in 30 mins and 0 - 100 % in 60 mins using the provided power adapter.<ref name="specs" />

The battery life during light tasks is slightly below average for this class of laptop. Many competitors now include 90+ Whr batteries.<ref name="notebookcheck1" /> Reviews verify the charging claims to be accurate.<ref name="notebookcheck1" />

The [[Intel HM770]] chipset used in the Legion Pro 5i supports a maximum of 2 SO-DIMM sticks and the 14th Generation Intel HX processors support up to 192 GB DDR5-5600Mhz memory.<ref name="hm770">{{cite web |url=https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/products/sku/232478/intel-hm770-chipset/specifications.html |title=Intel HM770 Chipset |publisher=Intel |accessdate=2024-07-19}}</ref><ref name="14900hx">{{cite web |url=https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/products/sku/235995/intel-core-i9-processor-14900hx-36m-cache-up-to-5-80-ghz/specifications.html |title=Intel Core i9-14900HX |publisher=Intel |accessdate=2024-07-19}}</ref><ref name="14700hx">{{cite web |url=https://ark.intel.com/content/www/us/en/ark/products/235997/intel-core-i7-processor-14700hx-33m-cache-up-to-5-50-ghz.html |title=Intel Core i7-14700HX |publisher=Intel |accessdate=2024-07-19}}</ref><ref name="14650hx">{{cite web |url=https://ark.intel.com/content/www/us/en/ark/products/235996/intel-core-i7-processor-14650hx-30m-cache-up-to-5-20-ghz.html |title=Intel Core i7-14650HX |publisher=Intel |accessdate=2024-07-19}}</ref><ref name="14500hx">{{cite web |url=https://ark.intel.com/content/www/us/en/ark/products/235999/intel-core-i5-processor-14500hx-24m-cache-up-to-4-90-ghz.html |title=Intel Core i5-14500HX |publisher=Intel |accessdate=2024-07-19}}</ref> The maximum available capacity currently DDR5 SO-DIMM is 48 GB 5600 Mhz, therefore the Legion Pro 5i can support maximum 96 GB DDR5 5600 Mhz memory.<ref>{{cite web |url=https://www.tomshardware.com/news/48gb-sodimm-actualy-exists-where-to-buy |title=48GB SO-DIMMs Now Available |publisher=TomsHardware }}</ref>

Pre-configured SKUs come with either 16 GB (1 x 16) DDR5-5600 or 32 GB (2 x 16) DDR5-5600 Memory. These sticks perform identically even when paired with different CPUs.<ref name="notebookcheck2" />

'''Benchmarks'''<ref name="notebookcheck2" />:
* AIDA64 Memory Copy: ~79000 MB/s

=== [[Storage]] ===
The Legion Pro 5i can ship with 512 GB, 1 TB or 2 TB M.2 NVMe [[Solid State Drive|SSD]] depending on the seller. The OEM SSD only uses 1 slot in all configurations leaving the other slot open for upgrades.

Reviews of the i9 14900HX + RTX 4070 and i7 14700HX + RTX 4060 SKUs note that both came with the [[Samsung]] PM9A1 1 TB SSD which is an OEM version of the popular 980 Pro. This is a downgrade from the SK Hynix PC801 used in the [[Lenovo Legion Pro 5i (2023)|2023 model]] since the transfer rates drop to 50 % after some time in stress tests due to thermal throttling.<ref name="notebookcheck1" /><ref name="notebookcheck2" />

== Input Devices ==
[[File:Legion Pro 5i 2024 Keys.jpg|thumb|Keys with 1.5 mm travel]]
[[File:Webcam.jpg|thumb|Webcam with slight protrusion ]]

=== [[Keyboard]] ===
The Legion Pro 5i comes with a standard keyboard layout with full size number pad and full size arrow keys. The Legion line is one of the few laptops still using a full size standard keyboard. The keyboard offers 1.5 mm travel and 0.2 mm pitch. The RGB backlight has two modes - single zone or quad zone. The refresh rate of the display can be changed using the Fn + R keys - three steps (60, 165, 240 Hz) on the higher-end 240hz display and only two (60, 165 Hz) on the lower-end 165hz display. The Fn + Q keys can be used to switch between the three performance modes - Quiet, Balanced and Performance.<ref name="notebookcheck1" /><ref name="notebookcheck2" />

The typing experience is identical to the [[Lenovo Legion Pro 5i (2023)|previous model]] with the only difference being the inclusion of the Co-Pilot key instead of the right Ctrl key. The deeper travel and stronger feedback result in a better typing experience than competitors like [[Razer Blade]] or [[Asus ROG Zephyrus]].<ref name="predecessor">{{cite web |url=https://www.notebookcheck.net/Lenovo-Legion-Pro-5-16IRX8-laptop-review-A-hefty-US-1600-for-the-GeForce-RTX-4060.712713.0.html |title=Lenovo Legion Pro 5 16IRX8 Review |publisher=NotebookCheck}}</ref>

=== [[Touchpad]] ===
The Legion Pro 5i comes with a Mylar plastic clickpad that measures {{convert|4.7|in|cm}} x {{convert|3|in|cm}}.<ref name="notebookcheck1" />

The touchpad is smaller than the ones in competitors like [[Razer Blade]] but is spacious enough for simple tasks. The clicking is shallow and lacks enough feedback.<ref name="notebookcheck1" />

=== [[Webcam]] ===
The Legion Pro 5i comes with a 720p or 1080p webcam with an electronic shutter and no IR options.<ref name="notebookcheck1" />[[File:Legion Pro 5i 2024 keyboard and touchpad.jpg|thumb|Keyboard and touchpad]]The webcam has poor color accuracy with a minimum [[Color Accuracy|DeltaE]] of 2.31 and a maximum DeltaE of 17.75.<ref name="notebookcheck1" /> The webcam looks soft but is much sharper than 720p webcams that used to be common a few years back. The clarity is adequate for casual calls. There is a physical kill switch on the right side that disconnects the webcam from the laptop. The webcam also supports Tobii Horizon head tracking that can be used in supported games.<ref name=":0" />
=== [[Microphone]] ===
The Legion Pro 5i comes with a dual microphone array.<ref name="specs" />

All known displays support Dolby Vision®, [[G-Sync|Nvidia G-Sync]], Advanced Optimus. The 500 Nit rated panels also support [[VESA]] [[DisplayHDR]] 400<ref name="specs" />.

The BOE NE160QDM-NZB reaches the rated 500 nits, has good screen uniformity and has above average contrast for a IPS panel at around 1400:1 however the black levels are somewhat high at maximum brightness. It also covers almost 100% or sRGB and DCI-P3 as rated and covers around 88 % of AdobeRGB. The screen is not well calibrated out of the box and NotebookCheck records an average ColorChecker DeltaE of 4.3 on their unit. They also measure an average gray to gray response time of 4.8 ms.<ref name="notebookcheck2" />
[[File:Speakers.jpg|thumb|Bottom firing speakers]]
The BOE NE160QDM-NYC is the lowest-end panel offered by Lenovo on this unit. NotebookCheck records average contrast of 1000:1 which is below the rated 1200:1 and a gray to gray response time of 12 ms on their unit however the measured brightness is 8% higher than rated at around 380 nits with good screen uniformity. This panel is also calibrated better than the higher end panel with ColorChecker DeltaE of 0.97 on the tested unit.<ref name="notebookcheck1" />

None of the tested panels exhibit any PWM flickering at any brightness level.<ref name="notebookcheck1" /><ref name="notebookcheck2" />

=== [[Audio]] ===
The Legion Pro 5i comes with two bottom facing speakers near front corners in stereo configuration.<ref name="notebookcheck1" />

The speakers have a low maximum volume around 75 to 80 dB for a 16 inch laptop. They produce balanced to high mids and balanced highs but lack any noticeable bass.<ref name="notebookcheck1" /><ref name="notebookcheck2" />

== Connectivity ==

=== [[Bluetooth]] ===
The Legion Pro 5i comes with a Bluetooth 5.2 module.<ref name="specs" />

=== [[SD Card Reader]] ===
Lenovo does not include an SD card reader with the Legion Pro 5i.<ref name="specs" />

=== [[USB]] ===
Lenovo equips the Legion Pro 5i with the following [[Universal Serial Bus|USB]] ports<ref name="specs" />:

* 1 x USB-A (USB 3.2 Gen 1, 5 Gbps) with always on functionality in the back (right most port when looking from behind).
* 3 x USB-A (USB 3.2 Gen 1, 5 Gbps), one each in the back, left and right side.
* 1 x USB-C (USB 3.2 Gen 2, 10 Gbps) with 140W Lenovo Power Delivery and DisplayPort 1.4 in the back.
* 1 x USB-C (USB 3.2 Gen 2, 10 Gbps) with DisplayPort 1.4 on the left side.

Community reports suggest that the full 140W power delivery is not USB PD 3.1 compliant and only works when using a charger that supports 20V/7A like the [[Lenovo C140]] and when connected to a 220/240 V outlet. Otherwise, the USB-C charging will be limited to 100 W. In either case, performance mode cannot be enabled when charging through USB-C.<ref name="usb">{{cite web |url=https://www.reddit.com/r/LenovoLegion/comments/1aq9ziv/lenovo_legion_140w_usbc_charger/ |title=Legion 140W USB-C charger |publisher=Reddit}}</ref>

=== Display Outputs ===
The Legion Pro 5i comes with 3 display outputs:<ref name="specs" />

* 2 x USB-C with DisplayPort 1.4, one in the back and one on the left side.
* 1 x HDMI 2.1 in the back.

The Legion supports up to 4 displays simultaneously including the built-in display.<ref name="specs" />

== Case ==
[[File:Lid.jpg|thumb|Aluminum lid with plastic bottom]]
The Legion Pro 5i (2024) is only available in one color: onyx grey.<ref name="specs" /> The chassis remains the same as the previous model except for the redesigned ventilation grilles at the bottom which are now hexagons instead of rectangles. The display lid is made out of anodized matte aluminum alloy while the keyboard deck and bottom cover are made out of PC-ABS plastic.<ref name="notebookcheck1" /> The lid opens to the full 180 degrees however the hinge rigidity weakens past ~160 degrees.<ref name="predecessor" /> Surfaces are slightly roughened to reduce fingerprint buildup however it still attracts dust and fingerprints.<ref name="notebookcheck1" /><ref name="predecessor" /> The rear is elongated beyond the display lid and is thicker as well to accommodate a larger internal cooling solution. This contributes to the heavy weight of {{convert|5.6|lbs|kg}}.<ref name="predecessor" /> There are two Lenovo logos - one on the lid on the bottom left and another on the palm rest on the right. There is one big Legion logo on the top right side of the lid.<ref name="specs" />

The chassis has a more professional look compared to the [[Legion 5i Pro (2022)]] with a uniform color instead of a two-tone silver and gray color scheme. There are fewer accents and angles as well.<ref name="predecessor" />

Chassis rigidity is excellent with no audible creaking or weak points. The base and lid exhibits some twisting not enough to be concerning.<ref name="predecessor" />

== Maintenance ==
[[File:Internals.jpg|thumb|Internals]]
The bottom panel is held on by 10 Philips-head screws. Four screws on the leading edge are shorter than the rest. There are clips securing the panel that must be popped up after removing the screws.<ref name=":0" />

'''Upgradeable components:'''<ref name=":0" />

* 80 WHr battery.
* Two M.2 2280 PCIe4 x4 SSDs each covered by a aluminum heatsink (most configurations only have one slot filled from the factory).
* Two DDR5-5600 SODIMMs covered by a single plastic shield (most configurations only have one slot filled from the factory).
* M.2 2230 wireless card.

== Cooling System ==
[[File:Fans.jpg|thumb|Cooling fan]]
[[File:Heatpipes.jpg|thumb|Heatpipes]]
The Legion Pro 5i is equipped with dual 60mm fans connected to the core components with five copper heat pipes. There is one shared heat pipe for the CPU and GPU, one dedicated heat pipe for the CPU and GPU each and another smaller heat pipe for the [[VRM|VRMs]]. The system in takes air from the side and bottom grilles and exhausts air through the back grilles.<ref name="notebookcheck1" />

=== Heat ===
Surface temperatures vary depending on the configuration.

The i7 14700HX + RTX 4060 SKU gets quite warm while idling, up to 39 °C on the bottom of the device. The left side with the WASD keys heats up more than the right side. Under heavy load, there is a hot spot of 57 °C on the bottom.<ref name="notebookcheck2" />

The i9 14900HX + RTX 4070 SKU is slightly cooler while idling across all areas reaching up to 36 °C on the bottom. The palm rest and the WASD keys remain comfortable during intensive tasks.<ref name="notebookcheck1" />

'''Benchmarks:'''

* i7 14700HX + 4060:<ref name="notebookcheck2" />
** Maximum upper side: ~43 °C

** Maximum upper side: ~44 °C
** Maximum bottom: ~55 °C
** Idle upper side: ~33 °C
** Idle bottom: ~36 °C

=== Noise ===
There is no electronic noise or coil whine. The laptop is effectively silent during undemanding loads like light browsing or video playback, hovering below 30 dB(A). During intensive tasks the fans quickly ramp up even when set to balanced mode. Fan noise while gaming in balanced mode is identical to performance mode despite temperatures being noticeably lower in balanced mode. During intensive tasks, the laptops emits noise above 50 db(A) and is louder than most other gaming laptops.<ref name="notebookcheck1" /> Most variants emit the same amount of noise with more powerful configurations being slightly louder.<ref name="notebookcheck1" /><ref name="notebookcheck2" /><ref name=":1" />

== Energy Management ==

=== Power Consumption ===
The Legion Pro 5i ships with a large 300 W AC adapter<ref name="specs" />.

Lenovo remains very liberal with the power supplied to the CPU during combined CPU and GPU loads. Both the i7 14700HX + RTX 4060 and i9 14900HX + RTX 4070 SKUs consume around 220 W during load with temporary spikes to around 290 W. <ref name="notebookcheck1" /><ref name="notebookcheck2" />

The i7 14700HX + RTX 4060 Legion draws around 50 W when idling for the most part, reducing to 15-20 W after waiting a very long time and any minor input brings the consumption back up to 50 W.<ref name="notebookcheck2" />

=== Battery Life ===
All Legion Pro 5i SKUs come with a 80 WHr Li-Polymer battery that Lenovo claims can charge from 0-40 % in 10 mins, 0 - 80 % in 30 mins and 0 - 100 % in 60 mins using the provided power adapter.<ref name="specs" />

The battery life during light tasks is slightly below average for this class of laptop. Many competitors now include 90+ Whr batteries.<ref name="notebookcheck1" /> Reviews verify the charging claims to be accurate.<ref name="notebookcheck1" />

'''Benchmarks:'''

== Reviews Summary ==
=== Overall Sentiment ===
The Legion Pro 5i is considered one of the best gaming laptops at its price with high CPU and GPU performance relative to competitors. Often found under $1500, the Legion is suitable for people looking for a high performance gaming laptop without breaking the bank. The laptop also comes with a decent screen for gaming and is highly upgradeable. The primary downsides are the poor battery life, large size and weight which make it unsuitable for portable use away from a outlet for a long time.<ref name=":0" /><ref name="notebookcheck1" /><ref name="notebookcheck2" /><ref name=":1" />

{{ReviewNotice}}
The '''Lenovo Legion Pro 5i (2024)''' is an upper mid-range high-performance gaming laptop equipped with [[Intel 14th gen]] HX series mobile processors and [[Nvidia Geforce RTX 4000]] series mobile GPUs. Available configurations vary by store and location.<ref name="specs">{{cite web |url=https://psref.lenovo.com/syspool/Sys/PDF/Legion/Legion_Pro_5_16IRX9/Legion_Pro_5_16IRX9_Spec.pdf |title=Legion Pro 5i (2024) Specifications |publisher=Lenovo |accessdate=2024-07-19}}</ref> The Pro 5i is positioned in between the lower mid-range Slim 5/5i and 5/5i series and the higher end 7/7i, Pro 7/7i, and 9i series.<ref name="legion">{{cite web |url=https://www.lenovo.com/us/en/c/laptops/legion-laptops/ |title=Lenovo Legion Laptops |publisher=Lenovo |accessdate=2024-07-19}}</ref>

== Primary Hardware ==

=== [[Central Processing Unit (CPU)|Processor]] ===
The Legion Pro 5i (2024) can come with the following processors<ref name="specs" />:
*[[Intel Core i5-14500HX]] with 14 cores (6 [[Performance Cores|P-cores]] + 8 [[Efficiency cores|E-cores]]) and 20 threads, 24 [[Bytes|MB]] cache and a max frequency of 4.9 [[Clock Speed|Ghz]] for P-cores and 3.5 Ghz for E-cores.
*[[Intel Core i7-14650HX]] with 16 cores (8 P-cores + 8 E-cores) and 24 threads, 30 MB cache and max frequency of 5.2 Ghz for P-cores and 3.7 Ghz for E-cores.
*[[Intel Core i7-14700HX]] with 20 cores (8 P-cores + 12 E-cores) and 28 threads, 33 MB cache and max frequency of 5.5 Ghz for P-cores and 3.9 Ghz for E-cores.
*[[Intel Core i9-14900HX]] with 24 cores (8 P-cores + 16 E-cores) and 32 threads, 36 MB cache and max frequency of 5.8 Ghz for P-cores and 4.1 Ghz for E-cores.

Lenovo supplies the processors with sufficient power and cooling for CPU-intensive tasks resulting in average to above-average performance compared to other laptops with the same processors. In CPU-only tasks, SKUs with the i7-14650HX and i9-14900HX perform as expected.<ref name=":0">{{cite web |url=https://www.tomshardware.com/laptops/gaming-laptops/lenovo-legion-pro-5i-gen-9-review |title=Lenovo Legion Pro 5i (Gen 9) Review |publisher=Tom's Hardware |accessdate=2024-07-19}}</ref><ref name="notebookcheck1">{{cite web |url=https://www.notebookcheck.net/Lenovo-Legion-Pro-5-16IRX9-laptop-review-Great-performance-but-a-little-heavy.817404.0.html |title=Lenovo Legion Pro 5 (16IRX9) laptop review: Great performance but a little heavy |publisher=Notebookcheck |accessdate=2024-07-19}}</ref> SKUs with i7-14700HX perform impressively well - scoring on average 9-10% higher than the average i7-14700HX and only 5% behind the average i9-14900HX.<ref name="notebookcheck2">{{cite web |url=https://www.notebookcheck.net/Lenovo-Legion-Pro-5i-laptop-review-Super-powerful-i7-14700HX-and-RTX-4060-performance.856842.0.html |title=Lenovo Legion Pro 5i laptop review: Super powerful i7-14700HX and RTX 4060 performance |publisher=Notebookcheck |accessdate=2024-07-19}}</ref> Performance sustainability is good but not perfect, with all processors losing about 5% performance in long stress tests.<ref name="notebookcheck1" />

Lenovo also supplies the processor with sufficient power in mixed CPU and GPU tasks like gaming leading to noticeably better performance than competitors with the same configurations. In particular, the SKU with i7-14700HX and RTX 4060 performs better than most other laptops with this configuration and is only 10% behind the Pro 5i with i9-14900HX and RTX 4070.<ref name="notebookcheck2" />

All SKUs lose a significant amount of CPU performance when running on the battery.<ref name="notebookcheck1" />

=== [[Graphics Processing Unit (GPU)|Graphics]] ===
In addition to the integrated [[Intel UHD Graphics]], the Legion Pro 5i (2024) ships with the following discrete GPUs<ref name="specs" />:
*[[Nvidia Geforce RTX 4050 Laptop]] GPU with 6 GB GDDR6 memory, 2370 Mhz boost clock, and 140 W [[Total Graphics Power|Total Graphics Power (TGP)]].
*[[Nvidia Geforce RTX 4060 Laptop]] GPU with 8 GB GDDR6 memory, 2370 Mhz boost clock, and 140 W TGP.
*[[Nvidia Geforce RTX 4070 Laptop]] GPU with 8 GB GDDR6 memory, 2175 Mhz boost clock, and 140 W TGP.
All configurations support [[Advanced Optimus]], [[DLSS]] 3.5, [[Dynamic Boost]] 2.0, [[VR ready]], and [[DirectX®]] 12 Ultimate technologies.

Lenovo supplies all GPUs configurations with 140 W of max power even though RTX 4050, 4060, and 4070 get diminishing returns beyond 100W.<ref name="rtxseries100w">{{cite web |url=https://www.notebookcheck.net/Nvidia-s-TDP-values-for-the-RTX-4050-4060-and-4070-Laptop-do-not-matter-for-gaming.698161.0.html |title=Nvidia's TDP values for the RTX 4050, 4060, and 4070 Laptop do not matter for gaming |publisher=Notebookcheck |accessdate=2024-07-19}}</ref> Nevertheless, in GPU-only benchmarks, SKUs with RTX 4060 perform slightly above average while SKUs with RTX 4070 perform impressively with results that are up to 15% faster than the average laptop RTX 4070.<ref name="notebookcheck2" /><ref name="notebookcheck1" />

In gaming, the RTX 4060 SKUs with the i7-14700HX perform significantly better than the competition with the same GPU and are just 10% behind the RTX 4070 Pro 5i with the better i9-14900HX CPU.<ref name="notebookcheck2" /> The RTX 4070 and i9-14900HX SKU also perform above average and outperform laptops with the same 140W RTX 4070 configured with a lower power processor.<ref name="notebookcheck1" />

All SKUs lose a significant amount of graphics performance when running on the battery.<ref name="notebookcheck1" />

Pre-configured SKUs come with either 16 GB (1 x 16) DDR5-5600 or 32 GB (2 x 16) DDR5-5600 Memory. These sticks perform identically even when paired with different CPUs.<ref name="notebookcheck2" />

'''Benchmarks'''<ref name="notebookcheck2" />:
* AIDA64 Memory Copy: ~79000 MB/s

=== [[Storage]] ===
The Legion Pro 5i can ship with 512 GB, 1 TB or 2 TB M.2 NVMe [[Solid State Drive|SSD]] depending on the seller. The OEM SSD only uses 1 slot in all configurations leaving the other slot open for upgrades.

Reviews of the i9 14900HX + RTX 4070 and i7 14700HX + RTX 4060 SKUs note that both came with the [[Samsung]] PM9A1 1 TB SSD which is an OEM version of the popular 980 Pro. This is a downgrade from the SK Hynix PC801 used in the [[Lenovo Legion Pro 5i (2023)|2023 model]] since the transfer rates drop to 50 % after some time in stress tests due to thermal throttling.<ref name="notebookcheck1" /><ref name="notebookcheck2" />

=== [[Keyboard]] ===
The Legion Pro 5i comes with a standard keyboard layout with full size number pad and full size arrow keys. The Legion line is one of the few laptops still using a full size standard keyboard. The keyboard offers 1.5 mm travel and 0.2 mm pitch. The RGB backlight has two modes - single zone or quad zone. The refresh rate of the display can be changed using the Fn + R keys - three steps (60, 165, 240 Hz) on the higher-end 240hz display and only two (60, 165 Hz) on the lower-end 165hz display. The Fn + Q keys can be used to switch between the three performance modes - Quiet, Balanced and Performance.<ref name="notebookcheck1" /><ref name="notebookcheck2" />

The typing experience is identical to the [[Lenovo Legion Pro 5i (2023)|previous model]] with the only difference being the inclusion of the Co-Pilot key instead of the right Ctrl key. The deeper travel and stronger feedback result in a better typing experience than competitors like [[Razer Blade]] or [[Asus ROG Zephyrus]].<ref name="predecessor">{{cite web |url=https://www.notebookcheck.net/Lenovo-Legion-Pro-5-16IRX8-laptop-review-A-hefty-US-1600-for-the-GeForce-RTX-4060.712713.0.html |title=Lenovo Legion Pro 5 16IRX8 Review |publisher=NotebookCheck}}</ref>

=== [[Touchpad]] ===
The Legion Pro 5i comes with a Mylar plastic clickpad that measures {{convert|4.7|in|cm}} x {{convert|3|in|cm}}.<ref name="notebookcheck1" />

The touchpad is smaller than the ones in competitors like [[Razer Blade]] but is spacious enough for simple tasks. The clicking is shallow and lacks enough feedback.<ref name="notebookcheck1" />

=== [[Webcam]] ===
The Legion Pro 5i comes with a 720p or 1080p webcam with an electronic shutter and no IR options.<ref name="notebookcheck1" />

The webcam has poor color accuracy with a minimum [[Color Accuracy|DeltaE]] of 2.31 and a maximum DeltaE of 17.75.<ref name="notebookcheck1" /> The webcam looks soft but is much sharper than 720p webcams that used to be common a few years back. The clarity is adequate for casual calls. There is a physical kill switch on the right side that disconnects the webcam from the laptop. The webcam also supports Tobii Horizon head tracking that can be used in supported games.<ref name=":0" />
=== [[Microphone]] ===
The Legion Pro 5i comes with a dual microphone array.<ref name="specs" />

== Output Devices ==
=== [[Display]] ===
Lenovo ships the Legion Pro 5i with 4 confirmed factory color calibrated displays<ref name="specs" />:

* [[BOE]] NE160QDM-NYC, 2560 x 1600, 16:10, [[IPS]], 350 Nits, anti-glare (matte), 100 % [[Color Gamut|sRGB]], 165 Hz, 1200:1 contrast
* BOE NE160QDM-NZ3, 2560 x 1600, 16:10, IPS, 500 Nits, anti-glare (matte), 100 % sRGB, 240 Hz, 1200:1 contrast
* BOE NE160QDM-NZB, 2560 x 1600, 16:10, IPS, 500 Nits, anti-glare (matte), 100 % sRGB and 100% DCI-P3, 240 Hz, 1200:1 contrast
* RoHS SD11K52909 2560 x 1600, 16:10, IPS, 500 Nits, anti-glare (matte), 100% sRGB, 240Hz, 1200:1 contrast
All known displays support Dolby Vision®, [[G-Sync|Nvidia G-Sync]], Advanced Optimus. The 500 Nit rated panels also support [[VESA]] [[DisplayHDR]] 400<ref name="specs" />.

The BOE NE160QDM-NZB reaches the rated 500 nits, has good screen uniformity and has above average contrast for a IPS panel at around 1400:1 however the black levels are somewhat high at maximum brightness. It also covers almost 100% or sRGB and DCI-P3 as rated and covers around 88 % of AdobeRGB. The screen is not well calibrated out of the box and NotebookCheck records an average ColorChecker DeltaE of 4.3 on their unit. They also measure an average gray to gray response time of 4.8 ms.<ref name="notebookcheck2" />

The BOE NE160QDM-NYC is the lowest-end panel offered by Lenovo on this unit. NotebookCheck records average contrast of 1000:1 which is below the rated 1200:1 and a gray to gray response time of 12 ms on their unit however the measured brightness is 8% higher than rated at around 380 nits with good screen uniformity. This panel is also calibrated better than the higher end panel with ColorChecker DeltaE of 0.97 on the tested unit.<ref name="notebookcheck1" />

None of the tested panels exhibit any PWM flickering at any brightness level.<ref name="notebookcheck1" /><ref name="notebookcheck2" />

=== [[Audio]] ===
The Legion Pro 5i comes with two bottom facing speakers near front corners in stereo configuration.<ref name="notebookcheck1" />

The speakers have a low maximum volume around 75 to 80 dB for a 16 inch laptop. They produce balanced to high mids and balanced highs but lack any noticeable bass.<ref name="notebookcheck1" /><ref name="notebookcheck2" />

== Connectivity ==
=== [[WiFi]] ===
Lenovo equips the Legion Pro 5i with an [[Intel AX211]] [[WiFi]] 6E WLAN module.<ref name="notebookcheck1" />

The Legion Pro 5i performs noticeably worse than other laptops with the same module however it is still able to reach decent transfer speeds for regular use.<ref name="notebookcheck1" />

'''Benchmarks'''<ref name="notebookcheck1" />''':'''

* iperf3 transmit AXE11000: ~630 Mb/s
* iperf3 receive AXE11000: ~1040 Mb/s
* iperf3 transmit AXE11000 6 Ghz: ~820 Mb/s
* iperf3 receive AXE11000 6 Ghz: ~1200 Mb/s

=== [[Bluetooth]] ===
The Legion Pro 5i comes with a Bluetooth 5.2 module.<ref name="specs" />

=== [[SD Card Reader]] ===
Lenovo does not include an SD card reader with the Legion Pro 5i.<ref name="specs" />

=== [[USB]] ===
Lenovo equips the Legion Pro 5i with the following [[Universal Serial Bus|USB]] ports<ref name="specs" />:

* 1 x USB-A (USB 3.2 Gen 1, 5 Gbps) with always on functionality in the back (right most port when looking from behind).
* 3 x USB-A (USB 3.2 Gen 1, 5 Gbps), one each in the back, left and right side.
* 1 x USB-C (USB 3.2 Gen 2, 10 Gbps) with 140W Lenovo Power Delivery and DisplayPort 1.4 in the back.
* 1 x USB-C (USB 3.2 Gen 2, 10 Gbps) with DisplayPort 1.4 on the left side.

Community reports suggest that the full 140W power delivery is not USB PD 3.1 compliant and only works when using a charger that supports 20V/7A like the [[Lenovo C140]] and when connected to a 220/240 V outlet. Otherwise, the USB-C charging will be limited to 100 W. In either case, performance mode cannot be enabled when charging through USB-C.<ref name="usb">{{cite web |url=https://www.reddit.com/r/LenovoLegion/comments/1aq9ziv/lenovo_legion_140w_usbc_charger/ |title=Legion 140W USB-C charger |publisher=Reddit}}</ref>

=== Display Outputs ===
The Legion Pro 5i comes with 3 display outputs:<ref name="specs" />

* 2 x USB-C with DisplayPort 1.4, one in the back and one on the left side.
* 1 x HDMI 2.1 in the back.

The Legion supports up to 4 displays simultaneously including the built-in display.<ref name="specs" />

== Case ==
The Legion Pro 5i (2024) is only available in one color: onyx grey.<ref name="specs" /> The chassis remains the same as the previous model except for the redesigned ventilation grilles at the bottom which are now hexagons instead of rectangles. The display lid is made out of anodized matte aluminum alloy while the keyboard deck and bottom cover are made out of PC-ABS plastic.<ref name="notebookcheck1" /> The lid opens to the full 180 degrees however the hinge rigidity weakens past ~160 degrees.<ref name="predecessor" /> Surfaces are slightly roughened to reduce fingerprint buildup however it still attracts dust and fingerprints.<ref name="notebookcheck1" /><ref name="predecessor" /> The rear is elongated beyond the display lid and is thicker as well to accommodate a larger internal cooling solution. This contributes to the heavy weight of {{convert|5.6|lbs|kg}}.<ref name="predecessor" /> There are two Lenovo logos - one on the lid on the bottom left and another on the palm rest on the right. There is one big Legion logo on the top right side of the lid.<ref name="specs" />

The chassis has a more professional look compared to the [[Legion 5i Pro (2022)]] with a uniform color instead of a two-tone silver and gray color scheme. There are fewer accents and angles as well.<ref name="predecessor" />

Chassis rigidity is excellent with no audible creaking or weak points. The base and lid exhibits some twisting not enough to be concerning.<ref name="predecessor" />

== Maintenance ==
The bottom panel is held on by 10 Philips-head screws. Four screws on the leading edge are shorter than the rest. There are clips securing the panel that must be popped up after removing the screws.<ref name=":0" />

'''Upgradeable components:'''<ref name=":0" />

* 80 WHr battery.
* Two M.2 2280 PCIe4 x4 SSDs each covered by a aluminum heatsink (most configurations only have one slot filled from the factory).
* Two DDR5-5600 SODIMMs covered by a single plastic shield (most configurations only have one slot filled from the factory).
* M.2 2230 wireless card.

== Cooling System ==
The Legion Pro 5i is equipped with dual 60mm fans connected to the core components with five copper heat pipes. There is one shared heat pipe for the CPU and GPU, one dedicated heat pipe for the CPU and GPU each and another smaller heat pipe for the [[VRM|VRMs]]. The system in takes air from the side and bottom grilles and exhausts air through the back grilles.<ref name="notebookcheck1" />

=== Heat ===
Surface temperatures vary depending on the configuration.

The i7 14700HX + RTX 4060 SKU gets quite warm while idling, up to 39 °C on the bottom of the device. The left side with the WASD keys heats up more than the right side. Under heavy load, there is a hot spot of 57 °C on the bottom.<ref name="notebookcheck2" />

The i9 14900HX + RTX 4070 SKU is slightly cooler while idling across all areas reaching up to 36 °C on the bottom. The palm rest and the WASD keys remain comfortable during intensive tasks.<ref name="notebookcheck1" />

'''Benchmarks:'''

* i7 14700HX + 4060:<ref name="notebookcheck2" />
** Maximum upper side: ~43 °C
** Maximum bottom: ~50 °C
** Idle upper side: ~30 °C
** Idle bottom: ~34 °C
* i9 14900HX + 4070:<ref name="notebookcheck1" />
** Maximum upper side: ~44 °C
** Maximum bottom: ~55 °C
** Idle upper side: ~33 °C
** Idle bottom: ~36 °C

=== Noise ===
There is no electronic noise or coil whine. The laptop is effectively silent during undemanding loads like light browsing or video playback, hovering below 30 dB(A). During intensive tasks the fans quickly ramp up even when set to balanced mode. Fan noise while gaming in balanced mode is identical to performance mode despite temperatures being noticeably lower in balanced mode. During intensive tasks, the laptops emits noise above 50 db(A) and is louder than most other gaming laptops.<ref name="notebookcheck1" /> Most variants emit the same amount of noise with more powerful configurations being slightly louder.<ref name="notebookcheck1" /><ref name="notebookcheck2" /><ref name=":1" />

'''Benchmarks:'''

* i7 14650HX + RTX 4060:<ref name=":1" />
** Load: > 50 db(A)
* i7 14700HX + RTX 4060:<ref name="notebookcheck2" />
** Idle: ~23 db(A) (min), ~23 db(A) (avg), ~25 db(A) (max)
** Load: ~45 db(A) (avg), ~53 db(A) (max)

** Idle: ~24 db(A) (min), ~24 db(A) (avg), ~29 db(A) (max)
** Load: ~46 db(A) (avg), ~57 db(A) (max)

== Energy Management ==

=== Power Consumption ===
The Legion Pro 5i ships with a large 300 W AC adapter<ref name="specs" />.

Lenovo remains very liberal with the power supplied to the CPU during combined CPU and GPU loads. Both the i7 14700HX + RTX 4060 and i9 14900HX + RTX 4070 SKUs consume around 220 W during load with temporary spikes to around 290 W. <ref name="notebookcheck1" /><ref name="notebookcheck2" />

The i7 14700HX + RTX 4060 Legion draws around 50 W when idling for the most part, reducing to 15-20 W after waiting a very long time and any minor input brings the consumption back up to 50 W.<ref name="notebookcheck2" />

=== Battery Life ===
All Legion Pro 5i SKUs come with a 80 WHr Li-Polymer battery that Lenovo claims can charge from 0-40 % in 10 mins, 0 - 80 % in 30 mins and 0 - 100 % in 60 mins using the provided power adapter.<ref name="specs" />

The battery life during light tasks is slightly below average for this class of laptop. Many competitors now include 90+ Whr batteries.<ref name="notebookcheck1" /> Reviews verify the charging claims to be accurate.<ref name="notebookcheck1" />

'''Benchmarks:'''

* i7 14700HX + RTX 4060:<ref name="notebookcheck2" />
** WiFi Browsing (150 nits): 308 minutes
** Load: 105 minutes
* i9 14900HX + RTX 4070:<ref name="notebookcheck1" />
** WiFi Browsing (150 nits): 290 minutes
** Load (max brightness): 65 minutes

== Biometrics ==
The Legion Pro 5i does not support [[Windows Hello]] face recognition and does not have a fingerprint reader.

== [[Software]] ==
All SKUs ship with Windows 11 Home but the laptop can be upgraded to Windows 11 Pro, either manually or when buying directly from Lenovo.

=== Preinstalled Software ===

==== Lenovo Vantage ====
The Lenovo Vantage program acts as the primary control center in the Legion Pro 5i. In addition to the performance profiles, the program also handles keyboard lighting macro keys, hardware troubleshooting, always on USB settings, toggling flip to start (opening the lid starts the laptop), battery conservation mode (limit charge to 80 %), MUX switch, system updates and other things.<ref name="notebookcheck2" /><ref name=":0" />

There are three preset performance profiles - quiet, balanced and performance. Lenovo supports adding an AI engine in balanced mode that automatically adjusts system parameters based on the context. There is also a customized mode where the user can manually set various parameters.<ref name="notebookcheck2" />

Most reviewers use performance mode for performance benchmarks and quiet mode for the battery tests unless otherwise stated.<ref name="notebookcheck1" /><ref name="notebookcheck2" /><ref name=":1" /><ref name=":0" />

==== Lenovo Arena ====
The Lenovo Arena app shows all games installed in the PC in a single unified location. This may be helpful for users who use multiple platforms to play games.<ref name=":0" />

==== Other Preinstalled Software ====
The Legion also comes with other less useful software like Lenovo Now, which exists just to sell software and services, and Lenovo Avatar Master, which creates your digital avatar.<ref name=":0" />

There is also unwanted software like 30-day McAfee security trial.<ref name=":0" />

=== [[Linux|Linux Support]] ===

== Accessories & Warranty ==
The Legion Pro 5i comes with a 300 W AC adapter and paperwork.<ref name="notebookcheck1" />

There is one-year limited manufacturer warranty if purchased in the US.<ref name="notebookcheck1" />

== Reviews Summary ==
=== Overall Sentiment ===
The Legion Pro 5i is considered one of the best gaming laptops at its price with high CPU and GPU performance relative to competitors. Often found under $1500, the Legion is suitable for people looking for a high performance gaming laptop without breaking the bank. The laptop also comes with a decent screen for gaming and is highly upgradeable. The primary downsides are the poor battery life, large size and weight which make it unsuitable for portable use away from a outlet for a long time.<ref name=":0" /><ref name="notebookcheck1" /><ref name="notebookcheck2" /><ref name=":1" />
