At long last, Lenovo has finally opened up orders for its new 2025 lineup of Legion gaming PCs. Currently there are two configurations available: both are Legion 5i Gen 10 gaming PCs equipped with Intel Core Ultra 7 processors and your choice of an RTX 5070 or RTX 5070 Ti graphics card. Both are currently on sale when you apply two stackable coupon codes: "EXTRAFIVE" and "BUYMORELENOVO". Get your order in soon because both systems are nearly sold out.
Lenovo Legion 5i Gen 10 RTX 5070 Ti Gaming PC for $2,270
This configuration is equipped with an Intel Core Ultra 7 265KF processor, GeForce RTX 5070 Ti 16GB graphics card, 32GB of DDR5-5600MHz RAM, and a 1TB M.2 SSD. The Core Ultra 7 265KF is part of Intel's newest Arrow Lake-S lineup released earlier this year and boasts a max turbo frequency of 5.5GHz with 20 cores and a 32MB L2 cache. This is an excellent all-around CPU for gaming, multi-tasking, and general workstation performance. In terms of gaming specifically, you won't see any improvement in performance upgrading to a Core Ultra 9. It's cooled by a 240mm all-in-one liquid cooling system and the entire system is powered by an 850W power supply.
The RTX 5070 Ti is an excellent card for up to 4K gaming. In fact, of the Blackwell cards, this is the most affordable 4K graphics card that I'd recommend; the RTX 5070 isn't quite up to snuff and an RTX 5080 gaming PC costs at least $250-$300 more for a very minimal performance increase. Compared to the previous generation cards, it's roughly comparable to an RTX 4080 Super but with the added benefit of DLSS 4 and multi-frame generation.
Lenovo Legion 5i Gen 10 RTX 5070 Gaming PC for $1,923
This configuration is equipped with an Intel Core Ultra 7 265F processor, GeForce RTX 5070 12GB graphics card, 32GB of DDR5-5600MHz RAM, and a 2TB M.2 SSD. The Core Ultra 7 265F boasts a max turbo frequency of 5.3GHz with 20 cores and a 32MB L2 cache. Compared to the Core Ultra 7 265KF, the only real difference is that it's top end clock speed is 200MHz less and there's no built-in graphics chipset, both of which don't really matter here. It's also cooled by a 240mm all-in-one liquid cooling system and powered by an 850W power supply.
The GeForce RTX 5070 graphics card is an excellent performer at up to 1440p resolution. If you have a 1440p or 1080p monitor, this is the perfect GPU for you. Compared to the previous generation GPUs, the RTX 5070 performs comparably with the RTX 4070 Super. We wish there was a bigger generation improvement in raw performance, but the RTX 4070 Super was already an excellent card and the RTX 5070 is $50 cheaper than the RTX 4070 Super's launch price. None of this even matters anymore because it's impossible to find an RTX 4070 Super GPU for sale. The gap between the RTX 5070 and RTX 4070 Super widens in games that support DLSS 4 and multi-frame generation.
