THE LENOVO Legion Tower 5i is as much of a fully integrated gaming PC as you’re going to find in the pre-built market. From top to bottom, it looks and feels like a Lenovo-built machine, yet unlike one of its biggest competitors in this space, this tower doesn’t come with any non-standard parts to make upgrades a hassle. No, this is a smart-looking and convenient gaming PC.
Lenovo is taking advantage of the relatively new Nvidia GeForce RTX 4070 in this machine. It’s a powerful GPU, but fits into a smaller space than the hulking behemoths that most RTX 4070 Ti, RTX 4080, and RTX 4090 cards are. The actual card that Lenovo has slotted into this machine is made to its own design. But it’s compact, quiet, cool, and even has a built-in bracket to prevent stress applied to the PCIe slot in the long term.
That’s been paired with an Intel Core i7 13700F. A 16-core, 24-thread processor, you’re not left wanting in any way for performance with this chip, be that for gaming or editing. One of Intel’s Raptor Lake chips, half of those cores are admittedly small Efficient-cores, but the bulk of gaming workloads defaults to the eight beefy Performance-cores.
