Bravo!!!
Beautiful, flawless OLED screen, calibrated and with excellent execution of Dolby Vision. Switching between thermal/performance profiles is intuitive. Bloatware minimal. Excellent heatpipe and fan solution, not terribly loud when on full tilt. Great laptop.

The centered trackpad is made out of plastic and is horrible. You cannot glide your fingers across it smoothly in any way shape or form. I'm looking ...

Great upgrade for my needs.
Timing was right for this laptop. Came with the CPU/GPU combo I was looking for to fit in my new computer and still be portable & functional. Big upgrade for me from a 7yr old laptop.

Response from Staples :
Hey Carl E.,
Thank you for sharing your feedback with us. We are sorry to hear that you ran into an issue and discovered some pain points when using this Legion 5i laptop, leading to you returning the system. We apologize for any inconvenience that this has caused you, as we wish to provide the best experience possible for those using our products. While you may have made the return, we’d like to address each part of your review to provide insight and action we’re taking based on what you’ve shared.
To start, the number pad is placed on various Lenovo devices, including this Legion 5i 15.6” model due to there being a demand for 10-key numeric keypad by various users. We understand your concerns regarding space constraints on the keyboard deck, and we do appreciate your comments regarding system design. These points have been noted and will be shared internally so that they may be considered for future design improvements. Regarding the touchpad and laptop chassis build materials, the Legion 5i is a mid-range gaming laptop series amongst our assortment of Lenovo Legion gaming laptops, and when comparing this laptop to higher-end laptop lines like the one you mentioned at the end of your review, these devices may feature glass trackpads, metal casings, and many more premium features given the tier of this laptop category. Also, we wish to share that you can customize the keyboard RGB backlighting either within the Lenovo Vantage app on the homepage, under the Legion Spectrum widget, or within the Legion Space app if installed under Device Settings. Pertaining to Windows, since the software is designed to work across a vast range of devices, out-of-the-box you may run into a system bug or error given the diversity of various internal components Windows must work with; but we’re happy to assist in resolving any issues that may arise that cannot be resolved after Windows updates.
We hope that the information shared helps provide some insight and understanding that may improve your sentiments on the system, and that you may consider choosing our products again in the future.
Please don’t hesitate to reach out to us should you have any questions or further comments, as your satisfaction is important to us.

This is the best of both worlds...
This is a fantastic notebook. I wanted the power of a gaming notebook, but I need to use it for everyday life and work. This doesn't look like a gaming notebook in anyway, and it doesn't have to be super loud to do normal computing jobs. Even when I am actually playing a game with it, using cool or auto, the fans are absolutely nothing like my HP Omen, which sounds like...

Fast shipping but no option to change pickup optio
Shipping was fast. Deducted one star since I was not able to pick it up at UPS station. Also there was no sign waiver option. I had to be at home for the laptop.

Good laptop with minor battery drain issues.
Awesome laptop that runs games smoothly. Only concern is the battery drain, but that is expected from a gaming laptop.
