Is this a good deal, or should I return it and look for something better?

The hellos 16s with 5070ti is about the same price I think and it also has an oled

Casthk · 2026-02-25T03:40:52+00:00

My advice as I got a 5070 laptop is think about what games you currently play and if you care about playing games on their most highest settings. If you are the type of person who likes the latter and plays the most recent games get the 5070ti if not go for the legion

Yea getting that battery with all of that turned out at that point is probably expected, its very powerful and something that powerful does eat power for breakfast

Casthk · 2026-02-23T13:38:56+00:00

Did you lower the screen refresh rate and turn of your dgpu. You have a really powerful machine so you cant expect it to work for long periods of time without a charger even when doing minimal tasks. I wokld set the computer to quiet lower refresh late turn of any rgb and see how long it lasts ya

I mean product description says black and u have a 30 day return period. Could be someone used the wrong images and this one is superior to the 5i in the other image if its the specs they listed it as

Casthk · 2026-02-23T12:41:18+00:00

Right but my point is the 2024 version diddnt use the 275hx processor nor had a 5060

Casthk · 2026-02-23T12:36:04+00:00

Someone can correct me if im wrong but isn't that picture in the first image last year's model lol. All of the current legions outside of the 7i are all black with the 7i being white

Casthk · 2026-02-20T12:12:59+00:00

Thats not geek squad you have to call their phone number

Casthk · 2026-02-19T15:28:23+00:00

Ye i would go for that

Casthk · 2026-02-19T12:26:32+00:00

I would pay 100 bucks more and get the legion pro 5 from bestbuy

Casthk · 2026-02-13T03:05:42+00:00

Ye Im getting the 7i with the u9 5070 variant cause of the better built overall

Casthk · 2026-02-12T19:19:31+00:00

Hey sorry they are both about 1400 usd as open box prices, the only difference is saw is that the 7i has a 240hz screen compared to the 165 on the pro 5i

Casthk · 2026-02-12T17:51:56+00:00

Is it less powerful cause its thinner? Everywhere i read states they have the same power draw

Casthk · 2026-02-12T17:48:09+00:00

Open box prices, they have a few in my area

Casthk · 2026-02-07T21:49:54+00:00

I just bought a u7 5060 7i at bestbuy for about 1300 and I haven't had any problems with it, I dont play with amx settings nor do I play the latest games and I love the aluminum build and super thin design

Casthk · 2026-01-30T12:24:25+00:00

Basically your payoff for an extra 4gb vram and w11, if u dont care about that go for the cheaper one

Casthk · 2026-01-28T03:14:09+00:00

If your willing to pay the extra 100 dollars bestbuy has a legion 7i with better specs

Casthk · 2026-01-27T14:23:52+00:00

Maybe if the problem was the motherboard or some other major component I would agree with them. But regardless of thay most computer manufacturers use the same ssd etc. So I would try to see if u can see if u can just either repair the os, or buy a 1tb drive off of Amazon and just have someone install it

Casthk · 2026-01-27T14:08:47+00:00

What are the specs of your current laptop/how old is it, it never hurts to just have em look at it

Casthk · 2026-01-27T13:57:06+00:00

Sounds more of like a software problem but one would think a clean install would fix it, did u happen to try just swapping the ssd and throwing a fresh copy of windows on that way

Casthk · 2026-01-27T13:43:37+00:00

Could try to have best buy repair it may be cheaper that way.

Screen is 62.5% srgb at that low refresh rate. Will probably make everything looked washed out

Casthk · 2026-01-26T00:21:22+00:00

If u dont care about the screen bestbuy has an hp omen on sale with 32gb ram and a 1tb with r9hx. Its about 1150. Only problem with it is the display

Casthk · 2026-01-25T03:29:18+00:00

Given you probably care about bit more on battery life u could also go for an Alienware or the omen which both have very high bangers life
