Should I buy a Lenovo Legion 5i Pro 5070 laptop bros?

Never buy a laptop unless it's for work.

No, that's retarded.

>>714172943 (OP)
Depends, is it within your budget?
Are the specs up for your demands?
Have you checked the overall reception and reliability / upgrade options?

If you mostly land on "yes" answers, then go right ahead.
I personally would not bother with anything over 1080p and 60fps on a laptop.

>>714173064
Shit opinion.
I built my first PC in 2003, and got my first gaming laptop for school, travels, LAN partying and as a backup back in 2011.

sure, if you want it

>>714172943 (OP)
Buy a Switch 2 you retard.

>>714173476
I have one anon

>>714173476
surely you didn't pay $500 for a mario kart machine

>>714173646
Surely you didn't spend $2000 for a 480p 30fps machine.

>>714172943 (OP)
Yes why not . PC fags like to act like theyre rich untill being frivolous with laptop comes up .

>>714173838
It's literally the console peasants acting like PC would be some luxurious privilege of posh nobles.
....Unless the narrative demands them to act like PC owners would be poorfags for not wasting 700 bucks to buy some Sweetch 2 or Piss 5 + their 80 dollaroo movieslop games.

>>714173249
>I built my first PC in 2003
Lol i could almost do 10 years off you.

>>714175273
In English doc?

>>714173249
You cannot justify buying a gaming laptop retard, get a steamdeck or steamdeck successor equivalent for only 500 dollars or less and shut the fuck up with your retarded opinion.

>>714175626
>justify
'i want it' is enough. it's okay to enjoy nice things sometimes instead of settling for a whole inferior but cheaper product like the platter-sized '''''''''handheld''''''' pcs

>>714175919
There's nothing nice about a useless piece of shit that doesn't serve the purpose of portable gaming, unlike a handheld. If you can't remote into your home 4090+ rig at your lan party because you're on poorfag DSL that's not my problem. There's no excuse to own such a shitty and pointless device when these things exist. They made the entire gaming laptop market a total joke on its head.

>>714175626
>You cannot justify buying a gaming laptop retard
Portable desktop replacement for both work and gaming while I'm traveling. I'm not buying a steam deck for a 6 month stay in another country you fucking retard.

>>714175626
>You cannot justify buying a gaming laptop retard
I can.

>get a steamdeck or steamdeck successor equivalent
Underpowered, overpriced toys?
Yeah, fuck off Jew.
Your wannabe Gameboys are pathetic, uncomfortable, and lack upgrade options.

>for only 500 dollars
The most I've paid for a gaming laptop was 400€, back in 2012. It served me for 5 years, after which I sold it to a literal Overwatch kid for like 150 bucks.

I just got a bit older, 2nd hand Acer Nitro for 150, all because it got a "broken display". Got a replacement screen for 50 dollars from China, and paid my local computer repair store another 50 to swap it.

>>714172943 (OP)
If you want. I got a LOQ a few months ago because I didn't want to splash out on a Legion, and it does everything I want. I heard some horror stories about the motherboard being shitty, but then I found out this was last summer and almost always in India. They probably got bad batches or did Indian things like shit on it so I don't know.

>>714176119
Then you're a dumbass nigger monkey retard and you should kill yourself because I paid only 450 for my legion go and it solves all application purposes all while maintaining the same functionality of a steam deck and full pc. Go be dumb somewhere else. The fucking 5090 series laptops perform worse than 4070ti desktop actually neck yourself loser.

>>714176292
I don't remember saying anything about buying a 5090 laptop but I guess if you need to invent a strawman to win the argument then go ahead.

>>714176370
Here's the facts and they don't care about your feelings. Gaming laptops are horrible value for performance per dollar. Gaming handheld, full rig or consider suicide. I make the rules because I'm the one who retired at 28 with 6 figure passive income from doing stupid shit for most of my life. I hacked an EAC game today by replacing it with a dummy program in a vm and then matching the original headers while you probably wagecucked or neeted your way into nothingburger. Your opinion is dismissed and not valued, do a flip for telling other consumers to make bad silicon choices.

When valve solves the ARM64 translation layer you're gonna kill yourself either way, weak fag.

>>714172943 (OP)
Legion are the best laptops but it's better if you hook them up to a monitor because their screens are never the best. Even if they are like 200hz they are still laggy, blurry and there's tons of light bleed. Awful viewing angle too. Also their airflow comes from the bottom, so it is a good idea to lift them up a little from the back, so more air can pour in.

>>714176619
>Here's the facts and they don't care about your feelings. Gaming laptops are horrible value for performance per dollar.
stopped reading there
nta but you're fucking retarded and you keep coming to these threads to drop your 10 year old retarded opinion
laptops have better performance per dollar when you factor in portability and convenience but you'll keep seething because you're insecure other people have disposable income to spend on something they want
a better contribution for this thread and everyone else's life is if you kys and take out 2 other mongoloids beforehand (I suggest the ones who cursed us with your presence in the first place if you still live with them which you definitely do)

>>714176619
>retired at 28 with 6 figure passive income
It's amazing how everyone on /v/ has this same story.

>>714177604
>stopped reading there
stopped reading there

My opinion is worth gold, because I'm not a newfag who's idea of playing videogames is posting a funny screenshot to their faggot friends on reddit.

>>714177627
>he didn't get into /biz/
Point at this retard and laugh. I bet he doesn't trade cypto or have a single vbo/index.

>>714177604
laptops aren't portable, concession accepted end of story thanks for playing!

>>714175626
>don't get a laptop
>get a more shitty one instead
steam cultists are a special different breed of retards

deranged handheld enjoyers cannot see a laptop thread without losing their marbles, as usual

714177882
Now, now. Put some effort into your trolling or I won't give the (you)s.

>>714178021
The working definition of portable is anything that can be reasonably packed into a carry on bag and also removed and used mid flight.

>>714178159
these same "people" spend 40% of their gaming time leaving bad reviews on games for not supporting their portable hot potato lol

>>714178094
The steam deck equivalents can actually be played on the go, the laptop cannot. Also I hope you realize the Z1e series chips equate to a gtx 1660ti desktop version.

>>714178225
Nobody cares about your passive aggressive reply chain ending fag shit, redditor.

>>714178252
Wrong incorrect, the working definition of a portable is when I can play it while walking around convention spaces as an excuse to not have my picture taken by strangers every 15 seconds. Your flight tier bullshit because you never actually leave your faggot basement does not apply to real world situations. The laptop is useless for those that actually travel and want to game without a hot brick in their fucking lap.

>>714178340
I own a 4090 7800x3d pc nigger at my house nigger. Stupid dumb as a box of rocks nigger.

And here I thought you were rich.

>>714178519
What kind of rebutal even is this? It doesn't even succeed at moving goalposts, it's borderline incoherent even. Please try to explain to the classroom why you somehow think the only appropriate time to play videogames is when you're in some stationary position where you can setup a desk like scenario for yourself. Oh wait, you're fucking retarded.

>>714178518
why are you mad though? buyer's remorse that bad? go play some video games lol

>>714178718
>inb4 the fagmunch retard tries to claim he walks around with his gaming laptop in his hands, when the reality is his 4060 won't even be able to clock itself to even half of its tdp because the battery doesn't supply enough wattage without being plugged into a wall.

>>714178718
Its not a rebuttal I'm just genuinely amused by all this insane schizobabble and I'm trying to get you to keep replying to me.

>Buying a laptop

>Buying a non-apple laptop

Anon...

>>714172943 (OP)
I dont know, should you?

>>714179040
Oh boy, this one is REALLY gonna set him off.

>>714178923
So you have no counter argument and fully admit you can't actually game at all on your shitbrick device unless tethered to an outlet like a fag and aren't actually serving the purpose of portable gaming, got it. You can kill yourself now. I win by the way because I'm not fucking luddite. Want me to demonstrate this by forcing the janny to purge your shit thread with poop spam? I have it automated on a script so I can just demonstrate casually the difference between our levels of function, faggot nigger.

>>714179209
>Want me to demonstrate this by forcing the janny to purge your shit thread with poop spam?
Yes please, do that.

>>714172943 (OP)
Get asus zephyrus g16

>>714176151
>Acer Nitro
nice, I also use one. I find these quite good for their price, and as you mentioned very easy to find replacement parts for.

>>714177882
crypto isn't doing well right now you retarded lying fuck

>>714173476
Even a Deck is an infinitely better option than locked down anti-fun mario shart machine (a.k.a a shitch). Laptop beats both in versatility and power, but Deck is best for portable 7th gen gaming.

>>714179040
OP here, I could get a MacBook and a PC handheld instead. I was considering that also with the much much better battery life of a Mac.

It makes no sense to get a gaming laptop over a deck+business laptop combo. Use the money you saved towards a real gaming PC. Now you have 3 computers, 2 of which you can game on. All because you made the smart choice of not getting a gaming laptop. That's how retarded gaming laptops are.

>>714180458
You can get low end gaming laptops cheap and they work fine for any sort of work you need to do provided you aren't reliant on huge battery life.

I agree that the high end ones are mostly stupid though, unless maybe if you have to travel constantly and stay away from home.

I always thought having a gaming desktop and a gaming laptop was retarded as fuck but I saw that laptop with dual screen and now I want one

>>714172943 (OP)
The Legion has ports on the back so if you are sitting on your lap or thighs the charging cable is going to be uncomfortable wedge into them. Also all the hot air will pushed on your legs.

Wow I guess the jannies are asleep at this hour, kek. Whatever point still proven, you're a little bitch luddite who shouldn't try to act smug and shill bad tech.

>>714172943 (OP)
Yeah. It'll run games well and bring you happiness.

>>714172943 (OP)
Gaming laptops last 1 year at most in terms of being able to play games adequately, they quickly lose all performance value. It's a waste of money.

I bought a lenovo laptop 4 years ago and in that time I have spilled coffee on it several times and dropped it on the floor several times and I blew an inductor in it when changing ram as a spark went off and set it on fire and it melted and its still works fine right now. You literally cannot explain that.

>>714172943 (OP)
Bought a legion 5 in 2025.
I took it on travels and trips, on friends houses, on jobs, at my gf house.
Had a lot of fun and did a lot of stuff on it, probably games for thousands of hours. Still seems to have a lot life left and works great.
Would buy again. The only problem is that you are pretty much locked in 1080p 60fps.
Of course a desktop will have better performance but some people just need to be able to move around.
Those fake and gay handlehelds are out of the question for me, they are essentially just a laptop but in a worst form

>>714185713

>>714185713
You don't even play videogames faggot, kill yourself. There's no fucking way in hell I'm believing any retard that tries to claim they game 200+ hours a week on a fucking laptop. Kill yourself, handhelds are superior and the peak is remotely accessing your home rig via fiber.

>photoshopped screen

Bro did you fall for this? Are you underage?

>>714172943 (OP)
Laptops are a million downsides for 1 upside: portability. If you're not buying it to use away from home, get a desktop.

>>714185936
I mean handhelds are literally just smaller form laptops with a controller essentially, it's practically the same thing
>and the peak is remotely accessing your home rig via fiber.
you can also do that with a laptop

>>714186813
Not even close, the laptop cannot do jack all without hugging an outlet as even the lower end gpu's like the 4060 won't be able to draw enough power through the internal battery. Not only that but I've already stated all the proper counterarguments earlier in the thread, not my fault you're a dumb fag who doesn't read before posting. Do I really have to explain to you how you are not walking around with a laptop in your hands to play videogames when I am? All at only 30w maximum with a 1660ti desktop equivalent as that's where 500 dollars gets you now in terms of APU value. You can't strawman me into a less practical machine that gives less opportunities to play videogames than you. I already mentioned remote streaming from your super rig at home, but I'm already getting more usecases just by also being able to use it on the couch or in bed at home. You won't win this, luddites always fail here because they can't see the bigger picture as they are boring wagies who didn't spend their entire waking existence playing every single videogame they could get their hands on that wasn't live service garbage.

>>714172943 (OP)
>Lenovo Legion 5i Pro
Why not the Lenovo LOQ?
>15' 16:9 screen at 1080p 144Hrz
>32GB RAM
>1TB NVME
>i7 (do not remember what)
>RTX 5070
>less than 1700€ where I live
I mean, it's decent and well balanced with that crippled GPU, but even if you want to play with a biggest laptop is just an HDMI away.
Do not buy the LOQ Essential, it's a scam.

doesn't it have some special eye tracking thing
or it turned out to be fake and just based on the webcam

>>714178518
>plays fortnite, cod and indie $4.99 slop
>guzzles 550+ watts and is as portable as a cripple with 1 crutch
Does death gripping your cock while reading benchmarks and fps numbers make you a better person then the rest of us?

>>714190606
I don't play live service slop, there's nothing wrong with indies and I still pirate every single AAA game without denuvo, Go be a poorfag somewhere else. Want to know what makes me better than you? The fact that I actually play videogames and dedicated my entire life to this hobby so I could spend every single waking moment playing videogames. Also call of duty modern warfare verbatum ruined this entire hobby for 20+ years and there is a special place in hell for bobby kotick.

I am still acting smug and still shilling bad tech so turn your script back on.

>>714191098
You already got blown the fuck out and it was quite obvious when you kept trying to revive it from page 10 each and every time. Just because your mods are asleep doesn't mean you won faggot. I'm not wasting my resources running a script when your gay jannies won't even respond to their report feed being spammed with it. You have no power here, only me.

>>714191292
No me I won and you lost.

>>714193069
You outted yourself as a shill and you're so desperate for attention you somehow think your particular thread out of the hundreds I have actively open right now is special. You are obviously a newfag so let me make this clearer for you. I am here around the clock, I make more money than you, I've been here since day 1 and I am at all times playing a videogame in the background while I jerk off to making people like you look stupid and I can and will do this all day till 404, You are walking around my troll finger and its hilarious. Keep seething and coping about how rent free you are right now that you somehow thinking you're owning the chuds by being a confirmed jew.

Kek OP is a fag still buying the eck 2.

The irony is that both op and the handheld fag were shilling for lenovo as coop marketers and all of /v/ fell for it.

>>714195127
Shhhhhh don't point that out!!!!!!

Sorry I'll save it for the next board meeting.

>>714172943 (OP)
I have legion 5 pro for about 2 years and it's great overall, but 8gb vram gpu in 2025 is a joke, if you want to play any AAA sloppa it will struggle to get 30 fps in ~2 years

>>714172943 (OP)

If you plan on buying another laptop next year, I guess. But you should just buy one, the 5070 is already outdated.

>>714172943 (OP)
unironically better off with a s*eamdeck for mobile gayming at this point

Lenovo build quality is atrocious. The screen went after a year, the battery went after 2 years, and the thing wouldn't even turn on after the 3rd. They're such Jews they don't even include battery issues in their warranty either.

>>714193314
:)

>>714176180
it's mostly bad because the screen is awful

>>714172943 (OP)
Gaming laptops are a meme and a trap for clueless fucking RETARDS.

lenovo legion series is the second best gaming laptop series after acer predator so yeah.

My penis hurts from how many times I've orgasmed today I swear on god not even trolling I've been up ALL night and I've just been jerking my shiet since 5am and it is now 3 something. I am still dripping and hard too, what is life.

gaming laptops are awesome but they are always loud when you game.
