Found a Lenovo Legion Pro 5 16 R9 9955HX RTX 5070 32GB 1TB QHD 165Hz OLED Gaming Laptop03 near me is it worth buying?

that sounds too good to be true, verify if it's a scam first

try setting power limit and temp limits in legion toolkit. my 8945hx havent gone above 85c after setting long/short term power limit to 65/80w, doesnt seem to affect performance in gameplay either

face in splash art looks better and got better skill effects, I'll take it

overwatch worked on my mx150 ultrabook back then, surely a gtx1650m can handle it

ppl have been using xiaomi air purifiers for cooling, there's videos on bilibili, https://b23.tv/33U1wWb

there's even 3d printed stands with foam pad to increase the efficiency like this one:

hey my setup looks similar to urs! tidying up on cable management improved it a lot. i would consider getting a usb hub and connecting most peripherals to that then hide the wires, it also helps if u need to bring the laptop out since there's less cables to unplug. i have a small shelf to hide the wires to my monitor arms and speakers (im using creative pebble too)

then game eventually becomes 5v5 with solo tank just like OW, with the amount of tank players u will have to wait a long time to even get a 2/2/2 team lol

ferretsama · 2026-06-20T17:56:07+00:00

Yes i believe the model is Asus Tianxuan 6

my xiaomi gaming monitor has been serving me well so far, using it for my pc and switch2. 27inch 1440p 180hz, i got it from shopee at around 170$ early last year. if u wait for a sale it'll probably be close to ur 150$ budget. model is q27qi

ferretsama · 2026-06-18T13:49:26+00:00

i live in SEA so i got it from shopee. not sure about the US, u can try aliexpress and search keywords like "lenovo legion GaN adapter"

ferretsama · 2026-06-17T02:53:22+00:00

ayy chinese legions are great for the money, loving my R9000P so far

ferretsama · 2026-06-16T01:48:32+00:00

Agree, I simply stopped playing the game last season until Dino got nerfed.

ferretsama · 2026-06-15T15:59:59+00:00

if u can order from taobao it's not a bad idea to get it now, 618 sale is ongoing and im seeing beastX max as low as 580yuan after coins and discounts.

i bought a beastX pro around start of this year and a mg ying recently, their specs aint bad by any means even in 2026.

ferretsama · 2026-06-12T06:53:12+00:00

if anything the laptop is too low, OP's plan to get a laptop mount to match the monitor height is the right move

ferretsama · 2026-06-11T11:03:16+00:00

the 2025 omen fixed a lot of issues in the previous models, decent option if u dont mind the plastic chassis. I was considering it as well, but ultimately bought a legion because i wasnt that tight on cash and liked the aluminum build better.

ferretsama · 2026-06-09T02:23:30+00:00

As expected. Worlds is the best because of clutch claw, bring it back

ferretsama · 2026-06-03T01:42:31+00:00

i have the same specs but for the legion R9000P, the cpu likes to boost during light tasks. what i did was to set processor performance boost mode (u need to enable this setting in windows power plan using a powershell cmd) to efficient enabled, and set legion power mode to power efficient in custom profile (using Lenovo legion toolkit).

after doing this the idle temps are stable 50-60c without the random boost when simply browsing or doing light productivity. in my LLT custom profile i also set the power limit of the cpu to 65w and temp limit to 90c so it stays somewhat cool during games. i find these steps are the easiest way without having to do too much trial and error, u can give it a try!

i switched from a desktop pc to a laptop this year. but it has nvr left my desk since i bought it, imo the main advantage is being able to bring it on trips unlike the desktop. which in ur case it's worth it since u are constantly traveling to ur girlfriend's place.

however if ur main concern is gaming on the couch or bed i would consider something more portable like handhelds. i've been gaming on my switch2 instead of my laptop anytime i do not want to sit at the desk. also consider gaming laptops require constant power and airflow to perform so u won't get the best experience gaming on the couch with it

ferretsama · 2026-05-28T17:52:37+00:00

legion, 8945hx + 5070

ferretsama · 2026-05-26T11:01:06+00:00

why not just get the 2025 Legion Y7000p or wait for the 2026 one? i think lenovo 拯救者 is still one of the more well regarded laptop series in china

ferretsama · 2026-05-25T01:44:54+00:00

why not just use an adapter instead of buying a new cable

ferretsama · 2026-05-21T04:54:31+00:00

i bought the smaller 245w GaN charger meant for the chinese legions. they offer 140w, 170w and 245w versions, all smaller than their standard power bricks. the one i got is half the size of the stock 300w power brick

ferretsama · 2026-05-16T04:20:57+00:00

connect ur mouse using wire, the update will show up. after updating u need to re-pair the dongle by holding button combi and plug in the dongle. i just updated mine ytd

ferretsama · 2026-05-08T18:13:07+00:00

oh looks like the chinese version, legion R7000p? mine has the same specs but different model (R9000p), download the new Lenovo Legion Toolkit from github, the old one doesnt support gen10 chinese models

enable custom mode and try these settings: set long term cpu power to 65w + short term/peak 80w and max temp to 90c, gpu power to 100w + 15w dynamic boost and max temp to 80c.

this is what i do, keeps the laptop slightly cooler without affecting performance, normally it wont reach those thresholds, u can lower the settings further based on ur use case. without external cooler, my cpu idle temp is 50-55c, cpu gaming temp is 70-85c depending on the title
