Review of the 2023 Lenovo Legion Pro 5i Gen 8 gaming laptop. It comes with an Intel I7-13700H CPU and a NVIDIA RTX 4060 GPU. Not much has changed in terms of the design but Lenovo did remove some of its features making this laptop a little less "pro". Watch for the full review!

Legion Pro 5i is still a nice laptop but it just doesn't feel as pro as it used to. What do you guys think? Also, if you enjoyed the video feel free to like and subscribe! Thanks for watching
Ahaha your delete my comments shame on you
I agree, the shape is just like the regular Legion 5, there's no luxurious impression except for the screen.
Glad I got last years model
What do you think of the same laptop with rtx 4070 at $1594 O acer nitro 17 ryzen 7 7735hs rtx 4070 for only $1449 Which is the best option?
FYI - they didn’t remove the ability to change the thermal profiles. It’s a known bug that I experienced with my Legion Pro 5 (2023 RTX 4070) model. All I needed to do was uninstall the vantage software and reinstall from the Microsoft store. - Then everything came right back and I could change the thermal profiles (Silent, Balanced, Turbo, Etc…) from inside the vantage software.
Yeah it's a pretty old bug now. Happens with the battery conservation mode too.
how does it perform?
Holy, didn't know about this and going to try rn
@@Legittidid it work?
Bro is it ok after 10 months ? I wanna buy a laptop but usually hear lenovo laptops lost their quailty and performance during long time, yours is ok now ?
I like this year's design. Very minimalistic, very simple, I like my gaming laptop to have the look of an ultrabook without its screaming "gaming laptop" when I take it outside. My previous laptop was Maingear Vector Pro 2, which is also a laptop with a very sleek and minimalistic design
you would really enjoy the hp omen gaming laptop, the new design is crazy!, if i could extend my budget a little that's the laptop I would be going for, Im instead gonna settle for the alienware m16 with a 4060 over the omen's 4070 because an offer is currently running
totally agree, it does not look like a gaming laptop at all (a driving factor for me). Plus giving it weighs only 5.5 lbs and is about 1 inch high, combined with always-have-coupon / amex offers / 3rd cash back, you will get a very decent deal. Just got a i7-13700HX/4070/3K 240Hz 500nits panel for around $1000 ish after all offers/cashback. No brainer for a dual-purpose machine (gaming, college study, work). For gaming laptop, it's kind of lightweight.
Thanks @matthew for the review, you've mentioned very quick something about USB charger when talking about the power supply dimension, but I would like to be sure on this point. The back usb-C port can be used to charge and power the laptop ( I know it will not be enough to run on full load, but I would like to know if I can use it to charge the laptop during working day, where we have a one monitor with usb-c and 90W power output, so with one cable I'll be able to work for all day under low power workload, like email and internet browsing.
Another great, honest review --- I always look forward to them.
Thanks Bryan I appreciate it!
Hey Matt, have you compared the 3070 vs 4070 laptop GPUs?
Great video thank you and please make a review of the lenovo legion slim 5i
It feels a little bit like the best thing about this year's laptops are the discounts for last year's models 😅
the discounts are only 10 precent and i'm waiting for a bigger one do u think will be a good discounts within 2 months?
@@aliabdulaziz9804 At least in Europe there were some really good Deals over the last couple of weeks. If there will be discounts depends on the stock of 'old' devices. It might differ from region to region.
Much better, the discount for 2021 models. Still a lot of great models from that year.
@@mikefize2279 where in the EU?
Great info. Do you have the benchmarks for DaVinci Resolve?
the pref graphs around the end of the video were not distinguishing the 2022 and 2023 models accordingly so your commentary was the only guide for that part
Sorry about that!
Good to see the temps are better, not perfect, than before. More companies should focus on dealing with this. Overall good laptop, though the omission of TB4 is just stupid. Thanks for the video. btw, a couple of mistake in the graphics with the year of release. :) It happens. :) edit: spelling
Dont buy this crap, theres no generational uplift on the gpu side, which is the most important side if you want gaming.
@@naipigidi You don't know what I have so please don't assume I have the previous generation. My PC has 2013 tech in it. Apart from the GPU which is a 1660 Super. Besides, don't worry I am not going to buy this. I have 20 euros in my bank account and no income. I am fraked. I am sure this would have been quite the boost in performance.
@@Trusteft and im not being sarcastic im wishing you good luck.
@@naipigidi Thank you.
@@Trusteft np
Do you think they are doing this to make the legion slim series look better?
Matthew, please help with advice. I have the chance to buy an asus rog zephyrus g16 with i 13900h and rtx 4060 for 1700 dollars but I am worried about the temps being higher and the air that blows against the screen. Should I buy a lenovo 5 pro i13700hx and rtx 4060 instead? It is a bit more expensive but maybe I can find one with ryzen 7745hx.
I can see what you're coming from. If I had to choose from legion 5 or Pro, I would choose the regular version because there's no much difference in performance, design and features. so much I would buy a previous one from 2021 to save it from landfill.
I'm tempted to get one of these gaming laptops and use it as a desktop replacement
What about the overclocking and undervolting capabilities? Do they come with the non pro version?
This model is a beast at its price🔥. Just waiting to launch it in my country. Dont know why people are unnecessarily hating the Rtx 4070. Legion pro 5i 2023 is the best in its range. Its perfect for gaming as well as work.
In my country the 2022 and 2023 models with similar class specs cost the same, so while a 3070 Ti performs just about the same as 4070, it is an entire laptop, and you get 240hz screen instead of 165hz and also the upgrade to the much better HX series of procesors from intel. Thats why many people are wrong about the 4070 laptops, they see it as no improvement, but overall you get a better laptop for the same price in many regions. It all comes down to price, if you get the 2022 model for very cheap with similar specs, sure go for it, but at the same price, just get the new one, you will also get 2 more years of driver support.
Yeah don't get the hate when benchmarks show that it is definitely better than the 3070ti and sometimes even on par with the 3080
Your comment really shows that you know nothing about tech. Other than power limit, RTX 4070 also has additional voltage limit, making it impossible to improve performance when it reaches around 100-110 watts. 140W is literally a scam
What’s the difference between pro 5 with i9 32gb ram and rtx 4070 and pro 7 with same specs? Like the price difference in my country is less than 200€, not sure if it’s worth paying more
Was waiting for your video on this Matthew! EDIT: The omission of Thunderbolt 4 is a bummer. Literally one of the reason, beside Quick Sync, people pay extra for an Intel model is because of the TB port.
the reason for Thunderbolt support is, supposedly, because the HX processors don't have a built-in Thunderbolt controller. In order to have Thunderbolt they would have to add a separate chip just for this (if even possible), at an extra cost and also cost of certification (if even possible)
@@cldpt where to find this info?
@@cldpt correct
I wanted to go for the 4060 variant before later ended up buying last year's 3060 one 😄
3060 is still a good gpu even in 2023, rtx 4060 is only 30% faster than 3060(sometimes only 15% when playing games), rtx 3060 is basically a 4050
@Matthew Moniz, Thanks for the review, great video. you mentioned that for 2023 model ( I'm looking at the one with i7-13700HX and RTX4060), the memory is upgradable to 64GB, however, their tech details says that it is only upgradable to up to 32GB. can you please confirm if you will if it is 32 or 64? thank you
You can upgrade it to 64gb, 32gb is max from the factory. So, yeah you can upgrade it to 64Gb
The 2022 Legion 5 Pro 3070 R7-6800h and the 2023 Legion Pro 5i 4070 i7-13700hx are very similarly priced in Malaysia. Infact, the 2023 Pro 5i is actually a tiny bit cheaper if you stick with the white keyboard backlight. You also get a monitor, backpack, mouse and headset for only a dollar each.
When did it first become available for sale?
@@rijulpraveensingh1650 around early last week.
Thank god I have found you, I also live in Malaysia… and I want to know is legion 5 2023 good for graphic design
@@as.224 Any laptop is good for graphic design (if it means using Photoshop and gimp or anything similar). Take it from my friend with an Inspiron 15 5000, 8GB ram, MX330 GPU, i5 1135G7 CPU. He does After Effects edits with toms of layers without crashing too much. I'd recommend if you're choosing any laptop with a graphics card in general, minimum you'd want 8GB of VRAM on your dedicated GPU. Anything less, at least for games you'd have some games not open, crash or get lowered frame rates. But either Legion laptops are an excellent choice. It just depends on your budget (this time it depends on AMD or Intel CPU and if you want more Type C ports or Type A ports). As long as you get the beautiful 2560x1600 screen 500nit 100% sRGB screen variant.
@@Qimchiy thank you so much dude for all the information
I think mines was like $30 more than the pro version and the major gripe i have with the 5i is the battery. I think i get 3 or 4 hours with it. But after watching this video im happy with my purchase.
I bought this laptop legion 5i pro Intel core i7 gen 8. The promlem is that the charge last 2hour and 40minute on time saver mode. And about 1 hour and 20 minutes on balanced With our using dgpu. Does the problem is with my laptop or at all same laptops?
Thank you for your honesty in this (and previous) reviews. It's becoming a rare thing on KZhead, with a lot of 'reviews' being thinly veiled advertisements!
You're welcome!
I agree because Matthew is unfiltered
Why is both red line and blue line for 2023 laptop ?? 7:57
Literally this video was great, I wonder when it would launch in india. By the way can you purchase the keycaps for legion that are sold separately I guess, let's see how they feel.
Thanks for watching!
Hey, please tell me I took a good decision buying the rtx 3060 variant at 1200$ instead of going for the 2400$ rtx 4060 current gen variant
Where I live, it seems to be the cheapest rtx 4070 laptop (yet) and it's still 2000€. At least you're getting a good chassis, full 140W tgp and a nice 500 nits display (at 240hz, brighter than the one reviewed in the video)
In my country the 2022 and 2023 models with similar class specs cost the same, so while a 3070 Ti performs just about the same as 4070, it is an entire laptop, and you get 240hz screen instead of 165hz and also the upgrade to the much better HX series of procesors from intel.

Why would you need three type C ports?
Lenovo site says 32GB RAM as max, not 64 for Intel CPU. Maybe there has been a BIOS update.
I'm i getting this right?.. Last year model has better screen brightness ,and a thunderbolt ports and this year model has non?
Does amd version have better battery? Everything was going okay till you said 2.30 hrs.
8:02 Last year's model ran much hotter? I see that both lines are labeled as LEGION 5 PRO (2023). I think you made a typo with your labeling.
Completely agree with you, with your remarks!!!
Thanks for watching!
I have a Legion 5 15ARP8 (legion 5 2022 body) but bought a 2023 Pro 5i (i7/4060). On paper its better but the thermals of the newer model seem a bit worse, especially with the i7 which is overpowered for my use, and hate the huge charging brick. Should i keep the pro 5i or the older chassis Legion 5 15ARP8? Im torn between the newer 16:10 screen vs. better thermals and more suitable CPU for my needs.
Lenovo 16" Legion Pro 5i is on sale now at USD1250 (RTX 4060, 32GB RAM, 1TB SSD, 240 Hz QHD IPS Display). Is it a better buy over ROG Zephyrus G14 2023 (16GB RAM, RTX 4060, 512GB SSD) at the same price ?
Definitely worth it when you compare with other products like MSI, ASUS
Better to compare not only raw fps, but also enabled dlss 3/2 and frame gen because more and more games support it
Better to compare apples to apples always. FG is supported by less than 0.001% of all games in the market today. "More and more" will take time, just like it took for DLSS 1 and 2
got the 4070, 240hz screen version for $1300 and im more than happy with it
How the f?
thats a very good price for it, nice purchase
Are you able to turn off, dimm or high the rgb keyboard?😢 i can’t change mine.
alt+spacebar@@Aygcgegduwabai
they will not give us a regular legion 5 this year they are introducing new budget lineup i think own or dis own made a video about the new budget line up
I have a pro 5 with RTX 4060, i7-13700HX, and 32GB DDR5. When I play The Witcher 3, I get 90fps on ultra settings but my CPU utilisation is only at 9% to 12% while my GPU is at 99%. Why is the CPU not getting utilised?
4070 with the i7 hx processor is on sale on best buy now for 2k+tax. Great deal in my opinion
I have issues on my pro 5i. I cant dim, high or off keyboard rgb.
This or Helios neo 16? Someone please help me😢. Have been looking i7 13th gen * 4060 for gaming
7:51 both models were mentioned as 2023
I totally agree with you.
How much vram are there please
It doesnt support advanced optimus?
I got the 2022 5i pro with rtx 3070 ti about 6 months ago on sale for $1000 off including my student discount! After seeing how the rtx 4070 performs and the downgrades of the 2023 model I’m very happy with my decision 😁 The only thing that stinks is the limited 8gb vram on a few games but overall I’m not that disappointed if I need to lower setting just a tad or turning off ray tracing.
So only seeing if the new products performs worse than yours do you feel satisfied? Don't want to sound mean but get out of that mindset. It will help you in life. Enjoy things as they are.
@@badalsaibo I’m satisfied with my purchase either way, but seeing that my purchase holds up well compared to the new stuff is a bonus! How is that a bad mindset? What a horrible take off what I said. Do you just go around trying to knock people for being happy with their purchase?
I got the 2022 5 Fully Spec'd Out, 3070TI, Ryzen 7 6800H, 32GBs of 4800mhz ram and 2 x 1TB Samsung Evo 970s. I'm glad I bought this instead of waiting for the 40 series models. This years version is terrible.
@@victorw.330 Sorry if it came harsh. I just wanted you to be happy for your purchase.
@@badalsaibo they're obviously happy
If they took the inside and back vents of the previous model and paired it with the latest version's closed lid top view (simpler look) it would be much better. The inside of the latest model looks gamer while the outside looks tamer. It's mixed up imo
i just subscribed because you tried to make the laptop stand.
LOL thanks
I've been looking at this exact model since the prices have come down a bit. At around $1300, this is a pretty good value but I totally agree. It should not be called a "pro" product.
950$ today.

I am thinking between buying refurbished Legion Slim 7 AMD last year, or this year`s 5i Pro..

It would be the one to buy, but I will probably wait till next year when Nvidia 5000 comes, second gen Ultra CPUs and Thunderbolt 5, with all that I think it will be the laptop for literally the rest of my life, as there won`t be any single thing I will wish more from a laptop.. So saving money for that, as in not spending it now..

anyone knows why the laptop logo is different between many legion 5 pro 2023, I see both the Legion text and Y symbol version.
that could be Y9000P (Legion 5i Pro) & R9000P (Legion 5 Pro). that's China variant
I think it would make a lot of sense with its launched with 14th gen intel
Bro caught ts on camera. He was NOT gonna get called a liar 💀💀
If you notice, the naming this year is a bit different, last year had legion 5, legion 5 pro and legion 7. This year they have legion pro 5 and legion pro 7. Notice the different placement of the "pro" on the product name. While I do agree the "pro" on the product name is unnecessary, I think you didn't distinguish the difference between last year's name and this year's name enough. On the test, you wrote "legion pro 5" on both year model. The "pro" placement on last year's model is not in the middle. I think it made a difference because I believe this year's legion pro 5 is just an upgrade from last year's normal legion 5 and not the legion 5 pro. The fact that they throw "pro" on the 7 version this year as well made me believe that. The chassis design on pro 5 this year is the exact same as last year's normal legion 5. I don't know why they did that honestly. I wouldn't complain much had they not include "pro" in its name.
The best review 😎
At this point it makes more sense to call the legion pro 5 the legion, and the legion pro 7 the legion pro. In terms of ports and features, the legion pro 7 just looks likes a better version of the legion pro 5 but there aren't many differences except for the CPU/GPU, RGB and thunderbolt
I think I'm going to wait for the next years model

Hi. It will be so nice of you to help me with this, I'm deciding to buy a Lenovo legion Laptop however i don't really know which model to choose? . ✅️ Whether 2022 Lenovo legion 5i pro with i7 12700h and RTX 3070 or 2023 Lenovo legion pro 5i with i7 13700hx and RTX 4070; considering the fact that the 2023 model is quite more expensive which one you recommend? . ✅️ In terms of hardware specifications, I think RTX 3070 is better, for example, it has a memory bus width of 256 bits, while RTX 4070 is 128 bits, and I think the number of Cuda and Tensor cores are the same with 3070, and these are not much different, and even the 30 series may be better. . ✅️ I may occasionally play video games, but I also have heavy engineering software that requires a powerful CPU and GPU. . ✅️ Another question is that will the DLSS 3 and upcoming updates come for RTX 3070 or not? What do you think? . ✅️ Also, i've heard about a new feature called Frame Generation or FG is also provided in RTX series 40 and it seems that it is only for this series 40 and does not include the previous series, is that right? . ✅️ And is it true about FG that unlike DLSS it is not sensitive to the CPU Bottleneck issue? In many games, the FG option is available by default and can be turned on. . ✅️ So does FG really work and give a higher FPS experience, or are the rumors about it true that it is not of good quality? (It is said that DLSS cannot work properly if you have a CPU bottleneck, right?) . Which model should i buy from these two laptops, so that it has good power and enough FPS in running games that would be enough for the next few years and could perform well in heavy engineering softwares? . I apologize for my long comment, Thank you very much. 🙏
This one looks way better than the previous iterations of the 5i,good job Lenovo

100% legion.
Yaah... exactly.....Lenovo like big company should know what are Pro means ... Without increasing features they decrease features and also would put more aluminium body not plastic...
I'm trying to decide between a Lenovo Legion 5 Pro with -AMD RYZEN 7 5800 H -GeForce RTX 3070 8 GB And a Lenovo Legion Pro 5i with -Intel Core i7-13700HX -Nvidia Geforce RTX 4070 both with 16GB of Ram and 1TB ssd, can anyone tell me what would be a better option?
Depends on the price, if the 4070 isnt that much more than the 5800h legion then buy the 4070, if you need to save money buy the 5800h 3070
legion 5 going for 870 usd on walmart has 4060 gpu, 1080 webcam, qhd display, ryzen 7735h cpu, 16gb ram 512gb ssd. legion pro 5i for 1150 usd has 4060, 1080 cam, qhd display, i7hx cpu, 32gb ram and 1tb ssd. honestly a solid deal on the legino 5!
this really begs the question that should i just buy the older model (gen7) instead of gen8?
No get the gen 8
the 2023 generation of legion laptops really did take a step back in features. And they say it's to save money, but it's not even cheaper compare to the competition. The asus m16 4080 is at $2700USD, Acer helios 16w/ 4080 is $2500. Both those laptops have glass trackpads AND mini LED displays. Though, the m16 only has an H processor while the helios has the HX. The lenovo 7i pro 4080 is the more expensive one at $2750 but uses the same old display, plastic trackpad and plasticky construction. 2022 was the peak of legion I think.
A different story in Europe though! The Legion 7i, particularly with academic discount is massively cheaper than any of the competition. ACER Predator Helios 16 4080m €3359, Zephyrus M16 4080 €3959, Legion 7i 4080 €2600 (with discount and no OS). Even with the cheaper construction, it's a complete no-brainer.
it saves money for lenovo not for us
@@rossdev I suppose it's different depending on the market. That's very much an easy decision for EU with such a large price difference. But here in US and Canada, the price difference is minimal for the same specs. The competition has more features. I think if I buy a laptop at that price, I'd want it to last the next 3-5 years.

I am not so sure about the vram but i think I have 6 gb vram if im correct? For me i get it because it was a good deal and I upgrade my old laptop so its alright for my case.
Should I get this or Legion 7 (2022) R9 5900HX 32RAM RTX3080 16VRAM. I really need your recommendation.
Some one pls, tell lenovo to make a 14inch legion. I’ve been waiting for ages, oh god!!
I managed to get the model with the 4060 with i7 13th gen for 1250$
Is it good?
I bought a Legion 5i Pro with i7 13700HX 16 core 24 threads, 16Gb 4800MHz DDR5, 1Tb m.2 nvmE ssd, 16" 2560*1600 100% SRGB 240Hz screen, 4-zone RGB Lenovo Truestrike keyboard, RTX 4070 140W TGP. 🙂 I paid 1751.42 USD.
Are you able to run off rgb keyboard? Mine can’t 😢
@@Aygcgegduwabai You can turn it off by cycling through different preset modes by holding FN and at the same time press SPACE. If i do that a few times it shuts the RGB off.
Its sad the gpu performance difference is small, i wanted a small gaming computer to do gaming without having to use a big metal box that wont fit in my room, nvidia crushed my dream. Those laptops are gonna age like expired milk.
The last laptop I bought was in 2016 and the Y700 beats this one in sound quality Amazingly true. I tested both today as I checked out this model at the shop. I will get this soon with Windows 10. Should I upgrade the RAM to 36 mb for general purposes? Great review, thanks.
Id upgrade my ram further than 36 mb! What options are you considering?
I think 16gb is more than enough for general purposes
It comes with 13700'HX' Processor
honestly these days I think pro, i think a lot of ports, so at least these still have that. Razer blade have better build quality... but also they aren't called pro lol. Anyways seems like a pass year for most people. Grab a 3060 or 3070ti legion 5i pro for cheaper which comes with a brighter screen on the base trim (2023 model needs the upgraded screen) for cheaper, or save for a 4080 laptop for the actual gains this generation.
Matthew’s content keeps getting better😂, I like the way he try’s out new stuff with his laptops 😂😂
Literally just bought this laptop but with better specs my have “32gb Ram, RTX4070, i7 13700HX, Screen QHD 240Hz 500Nits instead of this with 400nits and 165Hz

Love you sir❤❤❤❤❤❤😘😘😘😘 I am only use Lenovo and acer only. My favourite Laptop is Lenovo Laptop❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘
WTF Lenovo? Why would you remove Thunderbolt ports? I better check the new Legion 5 Pro AMD model (gen 8)... I use the USB-C port on my Legion 5 (gen 5) to run an external USB powered portable monitor, it's something I can't live without now.
Agree with Matthew on the end statements, 100%.
Thanks for watching!
i have the dell xps 9500 and thunderbolt 4 is absolutely necessary. You don't really realize it until you first use it.
Never needed it for my work
they may start making "pro max" now.
😂
Case material was an important part of previous model attractiveness, with plastic case this time it really loses its premium feel
True review 👍
i thought u said "perky RGB" lmao
The previous models seem to be a better deal.
Ya I agree!
I feel for the RTX 40xx series the ROG Strix G16 is a much better choice over this! Edit: Strix only (for 4050,60,70) not the Strix Scar (4080,90)
but the thing is that it's much higher price tag
I knew it but the price
@@aliabdulaziz9804 it is 4000$ for mini led 4090 while 5300$ for same specs on msi titan except 4k display
@賢い少年 "" That's really a lot. I would just rather buy the normal one and buy another screen
@@aliabdulaziz9804 It's not a lot considering the performance you will get a potable machine that is better than RTX3090ti desktop and equal to Rtx 4070ti desktop and a really good screen with mini led display so it's a great investment for 6 or 9 coming Year's
No Thunderbolt 4 is insane in 2023. I tried out Lenovo and was iffy even with that and a bunch of other features, and I wouldn't touch any of the new models with a ten foot pole. They had maintained a huge lead in critical and consumer perception and they seem to be blowing it.
Nvidia 4000 M series is so confusing
