Ample power for mainstream gaming and processing tasks ; A large, crisp display with good contrast and colours ; The exterior is smart and packed with ports ; A crisp, satisfying keyboards

Competitive pricing ; Excellent build quality ; Solid gaming performance ; Good screen

Typically poor battery life ; Speakers are rubbish

While it might fall into the same pitfalls as most gaming laptops - namely, poor speakers and mediocre battery life - the Lenovo Legion 5i (2022) is a fierce offering with a sensible price tag, making it a great choice for anyone looking for a gaming...

Excellent design and style ; Good specs for this price ; Good immersive display ; Great keyboard

Sub-par audio ; Grainy webcam

fair build quality and good ergonomics ; good IPS display, even if not wide-gamut ; very powerful for the specs ; well-balanced in terms of noise and temperatures ; excellently priced at this point

no Thunderbolt, biometrics, card-reader ; rather shallow keyboard for this class ; so-so battery life ; weak audio

That said, few 16-inch gaming laptops deliver the same great performance and features as the Legion 5i Pro for this price.
