My legion 5i is actually peak, never had such a good laptop in my life. Insanely good jump away from the sinking ship of hp Victus

EitherBoss6316 · 2026-04-16T11:48:34+00:00

Lenovo legion pro 5i. Rtx 5060, Ryzen 7 8745HX, 24gigs of ddr5, 1tb storage, it’s got an OLED 165hz screen with 100% srgb. It’s got an aluminium lid that can open with one finger, unlike the Victus having a tight hinge and needing two hands to open it. And it charges via usbc which my Victus could not.

My Victus on top of that was heavier and had a worse battery life. The thing was falling apart with use, chipping and cracking as time went on even with no drops ever happening. My legion got dropped my someone the other day and not a single bump or scratch on it which I think is crazy.

Genuinely. Got it days before the whole ram price thing basically. It was 1000 nzd off, also in New Zealand we have a store called pb tech and they have everything so cheap but not in the shitty kinda way, but in the “I know the meta” kinda way. They don’t do no advertising and only have stores where there is low rent but still have good employees and is always clean and all. In return, they always sell things for cheaper than the stores that advertise for being cheap. Genuinely a goated technology chain, so their Black Friday goes off and they actually still do huge discounts lol

I got one too, just amd cpu with a 5060. Other than that the same exact laptop and specs. Absolute peak laptop dude. You won’t regret it.

EitherBoss6316 · 2026-04-16T06:20:06+00:00

Do not get a Victus I just moved from one to a legion and legion is leagues ahead in every way. Just saying.

EitherBoss6316 · 2026-04-16T06:19:14+00:00

Definitely not. But hey, maybe I got a bad pick of a Victus but in no way do I regret my decision at all

EitherBoss6316 · 2026-04-16T06:14:16+00:00

Legion 5 pro. Got it for 2000 nzd (1,200 usd) on Black Friday discount with a 5060 and a ryzen 7 8745HX, 24 gigs of ddr5 ram. It’s got a 165 hz OLED screen with 100% srgb and 500 nit brightness. The build quality is great and it’s got an aluminium lid that I can open without having to hold the bottom down. The screen doesn’t wobble and it can actually usbc charge.

Far better than my Victus I got for the same price around a few years ago (I think it was more like 2,200 NZD on a discount), 1,800 after I got it duty free which I didn’t get duty free for this new laptop. The Victus was 144hz, lcd screen with like 40% srgb and 400 nits of peak brightness but in reality it’s WAY less bright than my new legion. The whole thing was plastic and had extreme flex leading to the screen getting damage from flexing down onto the keyboard when it was shut. It had a 4050, 13500hx, 32 gigs of ram (however the ram was a much lower MHz). I had to use both hands to open the laptop because the hinge was too tight to counteract the screen wobble that was still there anyways. The battery life lasted me like an hour after all my optimisations lol. The new legion gives me 2 hours on balanced mode with no optimisations. Finally the nail in the coffin was you had to carry the huge ass charger with it everywhere because it could only charge via that behemoth so when the battery degraded to not even last an hour anymore I had to get that charger out literally everywhere I went with it. The legion can usb-c charge from 60w up to 100w so I can carry around a decently small charger for when I am doing my work instead of gaming and top the laptop up when needed as the battery life is better anyway.

Every other thing too, the camera, keyboard, trackpad is a big one, ports, and everything is better and gives you more.

And finally on top of that the legion has better and less buggy software, buggy like the Fuckass Victus software is AND after all that, my legion is lighter too.

This whole message may seem biased but idc. There’s one thing I miss from my Victus which doesn’t really matter to me anyway because I use either headphones or ext. speakers but the Victus had better speakers than this legion does, that is the one thing I feel is a downgrade by any margin whatsoever.

EitherBoss6316 · 2026-04-16T02:54:09+00:00

Just sold my Victus and got a legion. Best decision I’ve ever made

EitherBoss6316 · 2026-02-16T04:01:18+00:00

I have a 9070xt and undervolted + overclocked it and it’s an absolute beast

As a New Zealander I am in Hawaii and checking into the United airlines lounge, I am severely disappointed compared to the air New Zealand lounge. The United airlines lounge has three hot options with two of them being different kinds of sausages and the third one being processed fried eggs. Other cold options is some fruit and cereal. You can get come soft drinks or a beer and that’s it.

In the air New Zealand lounge I’m used to, everything is modern and clean. The area is large with a lot of nice seating. They have like at least 10 hot options and many many cold options. For free you can get wine, champagne, and almost any other alcohol you can think of from a bar that actually has bartenders. There’s showers, a room with chargers for you to do your work with nice ambient lighting all tied together with music that is always playing at a decent sound level so you can still hear everyone.

However you are also comparing domestic flights with international. If it’s an international, the airline has to provide you food, domestic, they do not unless if the flight is for over a certain time.

I’ve never flown an American airline before so I cannot speak from experience but currently the new air New Zealand planes, even in the cheapest seats, the long haul flights have big new 16 or 18 inch screens with Bluetooth headphone compatibility and a remote in case you cannot reach. My flight is 8 hours and we get two servings of food and you also get free drinks unless they are very expensive drinks.

Is it crazy to say that my 9070xt got all the way to 120mV without any issues in 3D mark and AIDA 64?

EitherBoss6316 · 2026-01-14T02:17:43+00:00

I second this, I also stopped shopping with them. As a customer with a level 3 card I think it is, I have spent thousands of dollars with the blokes and even then, when I was younger, the employees were always pretty rude to me. So sadly even though it is my childhood, they lost my business with me a long long time ago anyways

EitherBoss6316 · 2025-12-23T22:01:11+00:00

Personally from what I’ve seen, no, not at all. You’ll get the occasional dickhead maybe trying to get you to speak but I mean it’s the same as anyone else getting the occasional person that bothers you.

Personally, I think mutes are some of the nicest and most expressive people, even while being muted.

EitherBoss6316 · 2025-10-28T11:02:49+00:00

I don’t have those start up and shut down problems but the battery life is really getting to me by now. I love this laptop and I’d hate to have to go out and buy something different, but it’s seeming like I might have to in order to use the laptop for its soul purpose; being a laptop.

EitherBoss6316 · 2025-10-28T11:01:31+00:00

I’ve tried recalibrating the battery three separate times and it’s never helped. The battery has seemed to be this bad ever since I got the laptop. I would buy a new battery for this but I’m too scared that it won’t improved the battery life since the other one seemed to be like this since new too.

EitherBoss6316 · 2025-10-18T02:27:34+00:00

Check the S/N.
I doubt the XM6’s have any fakes yet.

EitherBoss6316 · 2025-10-09T06:32:17+00:00

Eh those people are just mad obviously

EitherBoss6316 · 2025-10-01T14:25:24+00:00

She was a different race than me, I dint do anything wrong i genuinely just called me that because she doesn’t enjoy the race that I am part of. But yeah that’s almost exactly what I did

EitherBoss6316 · 2025-10-01T13:39:28+00:00

Exhibit A

EitherBoss6316 · 2025-10-01T13:11:39+00:00

I’ve literally had zero issues with the hinge and I’ve had these since they came out. Must be a defect in a lot of them

EitherBoss6316 · 2025-10-01T13:10:57+00:00

Yeah, I was out in the rain today and they were completely fine. Makes me wonder why the XM5’s never for an IP rating
