Lenovo Legion 5 Gaming Laptop - 15.6in WQHD, RTX 3060, AMD Ryzen 7, 16GB RAM, 512GB SSD £739 + delivery @ Very

ok so here is a few games i downloaded and played at native 1440p and dlss quality.

ni no kuni 2 Highest - 165 fps max

doom eternal "high" - 150 native, 159 quality dlss

hell blade senua sacrifice "high, medium shadows" - 80 fps native, 106 quality DLSS

no mans sky 'High' - 115 native, 128 quality DLSS

warzone - "high" 160 fps native basically maxed screen.

fortnight and dota and CS go all maxed screen at 165fps.

max VRAM usage was hellblade at 5GB but thats very graphically intesive, all other games were 3-4GB range so this laptop or similar specs should last easily for a few years playing at high, and can turn down to medium for even longer after a couple of years.

usual CPU was 70-75c and GPU was 68-80c

note, i don't care about high FPS so I limit my FPS to 60, played 30fps for years on the console so even 60 seems amazing for me and capped at 60fps, all of these games run locked 60 and GPU usage is only 25-50% and CPU 10-25% meaning temps were 40-65c and fans were a lot quieter sometimes, weren't even noticeable so definitely my preferred way to play. not to mention probably better for laptop total health battery, CPU, GPU, and fans under less stress to push all the frames.

Unfortunately, I have to return mine because suffers from micro-stutters on games and YouTube.it's an old and issue everybody is complaining with no solution or very little improvements. good price bad product!!!

Out for delivery

Struggling to get past the measly 6GB of vram on the GPU, surely that's going to hold it back? Nice 140W TGP though but it's a 3060 at the end of the day so it's going to struggle to run AAA games at 1440p native res with all the bells and whistles on, especially RT...

mine has just been dispatched and will be delivered tomorrow "paid an extra £1 for next day delivery."

Interested in any feedback on this as far as 1440p gaming performance goes , mainly I want to know whether this is at least as good as an Xbox Series X? I'm in 2 minds whether to return mine right now and don't want to open it until I'm 100% sure I'm gonna be happy with the performance , can't help thinking I should have spent a bit more for something less held back by the 3060 mobile with only 6GB vram..

So I've just got round to setting up my laptop and installed cpuz and this is worrying me. On the graphics tab it shows TDP 80W , does that mean it's a max 80W 3060 GPU? Can anyone else check this , thought it was supposed to be 140W? If it's 80W that's gonna impact performance presumably

Where can I find more detailed specs?

Really don't like the way Very operate, and I'd rather not buy from them, but I'd make an exception for this. Not sure if the RAM is upgradable on this, but it's actually just what I'm looking for if it is. Unfortunately, I'm skint at the moment, otherwise I'd bite at the price.

Can someone who already owns this laptop confirm if it has fingerprint or facial recognition login? Can't see anything about security in the Lenovo spec sheet. Thank you! (edited)

Ordered for £595 , will sell my Xbox series X to put towards it and use pc gamepass. I assume this is as powerful as an Xbox series X? Only worry I've got is the 6GB vram but I'm not a hardcore gamer so this should be fine for my needs. Games can take up a lot of space though which is another concern with only a 512GB SSD to play with. Anyway it's a good deal at £595 no doubt about that

Does anyone who ordered this morning still have an order status of processing?

Mines has read the same all day but no one has been in touch from Very. Delivery date reads Tuesday.

Reading the earlier comments is it normal with Very to remain this way until they despatch?

My order was “declined”

Phoned them today and they said my account was declined even though I paid in full by card and there’s no way of me getting the order. The call I missed yesterday was apparently a ‘courtesy call’ to let me know I was declined. Makes no sense to me since I’ve already paid in full for it

Ok, can anyone else who have bought this laptop help me here. I am trying to register it and yet the support page says the product's warranty started in October 2022, meaning I have 5 more months of warranty left. Is it like this for you? These guys better not have sold me a returned item... (edited)

Cyberpunk benchmark 1440p high texture quality, DLSS quality , ray tracing. Pretty decent result I think, looked pretty damn good

Shadow of the Tomb Raider benchmarks
Ray traced shadows high:-
Ray traced shadows ultra:-
Ray traced shadows high, no motion blur:-

Again, fine running 60fps on high settings at 1440p with Ray Tracing

want to pay almost double the price but for a downgraded 1080p version?

I bought it around 11pm on Thursday 8th June when the deal was published. Paid extra for next day delivery which was scheduled for delivery on Saturday 10th June.

They shipped via Yodel who had it tracked all the way until morning of Saturday 10th June where it was being loaded to van, but never actually went out for delivery. Called Very support on Monday who raised an internal investigation with Yodel and today the tracking updated with parcel being returned to sender.

Called up Very to find out that they have 'lost' the package. Definitely someone yeeted it. Luckily they have issued a full refund for this order and allowed me to reorder and have refunded price difference and postage cost.

Technically can't fault Very for this as they did their part and dispatched on time for the scheduled next day. After asking, they have told me the courier services they use are ArrowXL for large appliances and for other smaller items they use either Royal Mail or Yodel but you don't get to choose

Hopefully arrives soon and I'll keep everyone updated on my experience because not only is Very customer support annoying and long process to deal with but Yodel is awful and they most certainly can use Royal Mail for laptops but they choose Yodel. (edited)

Thanks op treated myself a new laptop my old one is 11 years old!

I've got this laptop and absolutely love it. Got it from a previous Very deal for £800.
Diablo IV gets about 90FPS average on my 4K tv, and 120+ when playing at 1440p on the laptop's WQHD screen.

Bought this for £799 with a 20% discount in April and absolutely love it, what a great buy

I've placed an order for £595 but I don't want interest once it's shipped and delivered etc can I just pay it off fully?

Bloody glad I ordered one earlier , just beginning to realise what a cracking deal this is. So I could pretty easily connect this to my 4k tv presumably and use e.g an Xbox controller for some big screen gaming? Has to be a better option than my Xbox Series X surely. Just hope it gets delivered, slightly nervous they're going to cancel the order , seems odd you can just get 20% off an already decent price and just pay in full there and then at checkout but I'm not complaining Cracking deal OP thanks

Actually I realised I had a call earlier from 0344 8224650 which I didnt take as we were having food.

Looks like that was the Very group account security team....so it maybe worth taking the call if they phone you as my order was declined after that call. I'll ring them back in the morning to see if theyll reinstate the order ....but I wont be holding my breath...

Managed to get one but delivery should been today but some reason it been delayed.

Anyone point me in the direction of a good extra SSD for more games storage. That 512GB main drive is gonna be full in 5 mins flat with gamepass

wow - did not think there would be a rush on this, arent we all supposed to be broke!

Ordered for £595 and 6.8% TCB has tracked too at £33.50, total: £561.50 hopefully. Thanks op
