Score Breakdown
Gaming Performance — 1440p Benchmarks
The RTX 5070 at 115W handles 1440p in every current game at high-to-ultra settings. With DLSS 4 Quality enabled the frame rates push well beyond the 165Hz display cap in competitive titles. The Core Ultra 7 265HX handles CPU-intensive simulation and open-world games without bottlenecking the GPU.
| Game | Settings | Avg FPS | 1% Low |
|---|---|---|---|
| Cyberpunk 2077 | High + DLSS 4 Quality | 112 | 89 |
| Black Myth: Wukong | High + DLSS 4 Quality | 68 | 54 |

Thermals
Lenovo's dual-fan vapor-chamber solution handles the 115W RTX 5070 well. GPU peaked at 84°C under sustained load, CPU at 82°C — both comfortable. Fan noise maxes at 47dB, notably quieter than RTX 5080 machines.
Display & Build
The 16-inch 2560×1600 IPS at 165Hz is solid — 398 nits measured, 95% DCI-P3. Not OLED, not exceptional, but accurate and fast enough for competitive gaming and productivity. The chassis is aluminium-and-plastic — premium feeling without being fragile. Full-size keyboard with per-key RGB, excellent 1.5mm key travel, numpad included. Ports: 4× USB-A, 1× Thunderbolt 4, 1× USB-C (140W PD), HDMI 2.1, 2.5G Ethernet, SD card reader.
Battery Life
The 80Wh battery delivers 4–5 hours of productivity. Gaming drains it in about 70 minutes. Adequate but not a strength — the Legion 5i is a desk machine. The 300W power brick is large.
