Lenovo Legion Pro 5i Gen 8 16" - RTX4070 i7-13700HX 32GB DDR5 4800 1TB Gen 4 16" WQXGA 2560 x 1600 240Hz Gaming Laptop £1615 @ Lenovo

Some people seem to think the 12700H (present in the 5i gen 7) is as good as the 13700HX. Not even close

Getting this bad boy set up, it's a beast and not as big as I thought it would be. The power adapter tho...


Manufacturing date of 09/03/2023 super fresh

The only reason I didn't post this myself is that I was tired of the usual types coming along and explaining they can get a better one for 2p

There are quite a few 7o pro gen 8 vids, and it is very similar, just a bit smaller and cheaper.

Its funny how I see many recent vids, for the gen7, seems like most of the reviewers didn't realize the gen8 was coming out

Is this one better than the Alienware m15 r17 i7 12700h, RTX 3070 Ti?

For £20 odd extra I got the 1 yr onsite selection, so if something goes wrong they can actually make a home visit and sort it.

Been after a laptop for a long time, finally bit the bullet! Hopefully, this lasts me years like my last one! I'll be going from an i7-4510u showing its age nowadays to this, can't wait!



Also used TCB which amazingly cleared within an hour too, which got me another 3.15% cashback on this. Bonus!

Not really worth the upgrade. (edited)

I have the old Legion 5 Pro and I'll say that if you do any productivity work, these high refresh rate 16:10 2k displays are to die for. (edited)

Please do not buy lenovo products. Their products are not good quality at all. If you face a problem they won't give a dame about it. I bought a laptop I couldn't use it because its faulty so it's been going for endless repair. I've already send it 3 times for repair for the same fault which has not still been rectified. This is a brand new completely unused laptop. Now their telling me to send again for the 4th time for the same problem. They won't replace it or refund the money. They won't follow their own policy. Please stay away from them. Check their reviews before you buy it.

Pity Gen 8 isn't available yet for AMD since 7845HX is highly rated yet more power efficient than Intel. (edited)

Would this be a better than buying a 3070ti laptop for slighly cheaper? Just wanting a longterm investment that will be fairly futureproof

is the 4070 auto selected if you choose the £1900 option?

Does it come without windows? I don't want windows

Why is it much more expensive if you build it yourself with the same specs? (edited)

Does anyone know what the dedicated AI chip does on this laptop? (LA1 chip)

Deal back on, limited stock so be quick

LEGION15 code expired

Received today and it's not working.

When I boot it says

EFI PXE Network boot failed

I got mine yesterday, Win 11 home. Works lovely. Great build quality.
13700-hx, 32gb ram, 1TB SSD, RTX 4060

I would have hoped that people had checked that they were getting an OS before ordering! Or at least know what "no OS" means. I can't see how they can claim to be unhappy when the fault was with them not reading properly

I am having issues with installing new windows 11 pro. Keyboard and touch pad is not detecting and the installation stuck at connecting to network stage as it is only showing Ethernet as option. Even if i pass that stage still my keyboard is not working to type anything. Anyone experience similar problem?

I finally got my hands on the laptop (I was traveling)

I'm installing Windows 11, the touch-pad is not working during the Windows installation and I don't have a wired mouse, great.

Did this happen to anyone else? The touchpad worked seamlessly on all my previous Lenovo laptops.

Great specs for the money. Shame the chassis looks terrible and screams budget high end laptop. Lenovo make some horrible looking things. (edited)

3070ti all day long at half the price, especially when AMD release frame generation for the masses.

Not bad not bad at all but is it noisy?


Might as well just use Cloud gaming instead?

I bought one, insane specs for the price and a really excellent screen. Thanks @fancellu for posting it in the other thread.

This or a macBook Pro 16gb?

surely the 4070 is not much better then the 4060 it has the same bus size you would be better of with the 4080 bigger bus and 12GB.

I got a Lenovo Legion 5i Pro gen 7 with i7 CPU, Nvidia 3070, 32gb Ram and 1Tb SSD for £1300.

Would you cancel it and get this one instead?

No OS. not looking so good now from a deal perspective. Easy to fix if you have a few keys handy.

I never buy laptops with windows pre-installed. It's a rip off.

It's better to sell the laptop at a lower price at let users install whatever OS they want.

Lenovo made the right call here, I'm so glad I got this deal.

Thanks OP!

I've read about issues affecting most 2023 gaming laptops. Apparently it causes random reboots, anyone experiencing this?

Isn't the 4070 really just a 4060 this generation but nvidia is trying to trick everyone by renaming it.

Received today.

NO OS - So use your own USB.

I'm currently installing but mouse pad isn't working on Windows 11 install screen and now Wifi isn't showing when on the Network connection screen on Setup (only Ethernet).

EDIT - Once windows is installed and logged in, mousepad works and wifi works. Doesnt seem to work in setup though!

EDIT 2 - Looks like battery life is around 100 mins from 100% just setting up windows, no GPU intensive stuff. Thought it would be longer than that ? (Battery saver on) (edited)

Typing this message from my new laptop. Kudos to everyone in this thread.
I am now 1600 quid poorer!

Expired now ? i see no £1900 laptop
