Lenovo Legion 5i 15 gaming laptop, i7-14700HX, RTX 5070, 16 GB, 512 GB, 15.6" OLED 165 Hz

Core gaming laptop

The Lenovo Legion 5i 15 is a gaming laptop built around an Intel Core i7-14700HX processor with 20 cores and 28 threads. It pairs that CPU with an NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 laptop GPU carrying 8 GB of video memory. A 15.1 inch WQXGA OLED panel running at 165 Hz handles the display. The system ships with 16 GB of DDR5 memory and a 512 GB PCIe SSD. Windows 11 Home is pre-installed.

Stepping up from integrated graphics

This configuration replaces a machine that relies on integrated graphics or an entry-level discrete GPU. The jump is worth it when you need consistent frame rates at the panel's native 2560x1600 resolution and want the responsiveness of a 165 Hz OLED screen. The 20-core processor also shortens compile times and keeps background tasks from stuttering during play.

Build fit and connectivity

Two USB-A ports at 5 Gbps and two USB-C ports at 10 Gbps handle peripherals; one USB-C supports USB PD 65-100 W and DisplayPort 2.1 while the other carries DisplayPort 1.4. An HDMI 2.1 output can drive an external display up to 8K at 60 Hz. A wired RJ-45 jack and Wi-Fi 7 give network flexibility. The 3.5 mm combo jack covers audio. The chassis measures 13.58 by 10.05 by 0.85 inches and weighs 4.4 pounds.
