Windows Central Verdict
I loved last year's Legion 5 Pro, and this year's Legion 5i Pro is just as good. The 12th Gen Core i7 CPU and RTX 3070 Ti Laptop GPU absolutely shred, and the updated cooling system has no problems keeping the laptop out of thermal danger. AMD systems are also available, offering better battery life at the cost of overall performance.
