[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I ordered the laptop at the end of July. I didn’t open it until September. It has been used for less than a month and it was crashing daily. The webcam randomly stopped working during a Teams meeting for work and hasn’t worked again since. Sending it back for repairs. Hopeful but wary. I don’t recommend.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] As a Mac user, I haven't owned or used a Windows-based device in over 20 years. Really impressed with this Legion 5. The device itself feels premium and like a ridiculously good value for the price I paid. Quiet, performant, solid. The screen is a standout. Sharp, colorful, with those awesome OLED inky blacks. A minimum of junk software to uninstall—it was very quick and easy to be up and running and figuring things out. The system control software makes tweaking performance profiles easy. I bought this device as a gift for a family member, but I've enjoyed the experience of getting it configured enough that I might have to buy one for myself too.

Lenovo seems to have sent a defected product to me. The laptop looks great at the beginning. But after a few days usage I started to have DPC_WATCHDOG_VIOLATION error almost once every day. It happens randomly, often during when I’m browsing with chrome. I have updated all my drivers to the latest version and it still happens so I think is a hardware defect. It’s really annoying when your laptop crashes unpredictably every day.
I would recommend this to a friend!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Absolutely love this laptop. The screen is out of this world and is gorgeous to look at. I'm a big fan of the quiet mode, and I'm overall very happy with the performance and build quality
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] So far, I am happy about the design and HW performance. Original, I plan to add extra SSD on second slot for increasing the capacity. End up I found out the second slot nvem only have 2 channels instead of four. I did check the read/write data rate which is half of the default channel data rate speed. After I did some research, this is from HE design. I also have Asus F16, and there is no issue on second SSD which can provide 4 channels data bandwidth. I am kind of disappointed about this
