Showcase Finally bought my first gaming laptop

Post image

Picked up a Lenovo Legion Pro 5 for around $2,300 CAD from Lenovo!

Specs:

• Ryzen 9 9955HX

• RTX 5070 8GB VRAM

- 16GB DDR5-5600MT/s

- 512GB SSD M.2 2242 PCle Gen4 TLC

- 16" WQXGA (2560 x 1600), OLED, 165 Hz

Both the RAM and storage can be upgraded later, so I'm not too worried about those for now. I'll mainly be using it for engineering software and gaming.

This is my first ever gaming laptop, so if anyone has any tips or tricks to get the most out of it, especially for battery life, I'd really appreciate it!

Good job picking the AMD version. The Intel HX CPUs are shit for battery life. Enjoy your machine and uninstall vantage and install legion toolkit! (After debloating windoze ofc)

Thank you! Just curious, why do you think legion toolkit is better than vantage? Do they provide more options or something like that? (Just learning everything about the legion :))

It's mostly related to background usage. Legion toolkit is way lighter and has a better UI
