In conclusion, we think the Lenovo Legion 5i 15” gaming laptop out performed our expectations, not just in terms of its performance but with its aesthetics and design too. The understated, almost business-like looks have grown on us over our time with it, and the cooling solution is also impressive. The only setback really is that with such a simple design, it is a huge fingerprint magnet.
There’s plenty of ports and connectors for your needs, the keyboard is great to use and the test results were certainly surprising in some areas. The full-fat RTX 2060 6GB definitely piqued our interest, and combined with an i5 it is more than capable for a gaming setup, as we saw. We think Lenovo's been smart with the pairing, making sensible decisions for the targeted user and as a result it performs great with a really reasonable price too.
This is a more than capable mid-range laptop, if you’re in the market for a gaming laptop that makes a few compromises to give you great performance at a compelling price point then the Lenovo Legion 5i is worth checking out.

Pros:
- Great specs for the price point.
- Good performer all round throughout our tests.
- Very good airflow.
- Great selection of IO.
- Full size keyboard is very nice to use for typing and gaming.
- Good selection of function combination keys.
Cons:
- Lid is a fingerprint magnet.
- White LED backlit keyboard only (better that than no backlight though).
- Power button feels spongey.
- 256GB SSD is too small to have multiple games installed at the same time.
KitGuru says: Despite costing under £1000, the Legion 5i is certainly no slouch and the understated design will please those who don’t want a typical ‘gamer' design.
