Lenovo Legion 5i Gen 10 w/ RTX 5070: was $1,999 now $1,499 at BHPhoto

The Lenovo Legion 5i Gen 10 impresses with its sleek styling, gorgeous OLED panel, and solid mid-range performance! Sure, the battery life is underwhelming, but that’s par for the course of gaming systems, and given the price you pay for OLED gaming, it’s a problem that is quickly paved over.

As we said in our Lenovo Legion 5i Gen 10 review, this machine leads a double life as a gaming laptop and productivity powerhouse. The unit I’m spotlighting today actually has better specs than the unit we tested, as it features an RTX 5070 GPU over an RTX 5060 and 32GB of RAM instead of 16GB. Thanks to those specs, you get all-around great performance and zippy frame rates.

Besides the impressive specs, you also get a mesmerizing 15.1-inch OLED display that makes games and videos look their absolute best. The screen also gets bright, up to 500 nits, and the sharp 2560 x 1600 resolution and fast 165Hz refresh rate ensure everything is crystal clear and smooth.

You’re not sacrificing build quality, as this is a sleek system from every angle. Yes, it’s not exactly thin and light, but with an aluminum lid and a durable plastic chassis, it’s a refined, utilitarian design that doesn’t immediately scream “gaming laptop.” That last point matters if you want to use this laptop in public without drawing too many stares.

Of course, if you do use this notebook on the go, keep in mind that it is a gaming laptop and doesn’t have the best battery life. For gaming, you’ll be lucky if the Legion 5i lasts an hour. Thankfully, it does last a bit longer for general productivity. Still, make sure you don’t forget to bring its charger with you when you’re out and about.

This Lenovo Legion 5i deal is so good that I don’t expect it to last much longer. If you’re looking for your next gaming laptop, don’t hesitate to snatch up this beauty while you can.
