65

The Lenovo Wi-Fi for five gaming laptop is a mid-range option with a variety of features, including an Intel i7 9750 H processor, Nvidia RTX 2060 graphics, 16GB RAM, and a 15.6 inch 144Hz screen. The design is similar to the Y 7000 and has a 2.3 kilogram weight, making it a good average-sized laptop with decent specs.

The Lenovo Wi-Fi for five is a mid-range gaming laptop with decent specs but has limitations in performance due to thermal issues.

Pros
  • Sturdy build quality
  • Good screen quality
  • Decent battery life with hybrid mode enabled
Cons
  • Thermal throttling under heavy load
  • Performance limitations due to thermal constraints
  • Flex in the screen and keyboard

The screen's quality is good, but there are some issues with flex and noticeable backlight bleed.

The Lenovo Wi-Fi for five gaming laptop features an Intel i7 9750 H processor, Nvidia RTX 2060 graphics, 16GB RAM, and a 15.6 inch 144Hz screen. The laptop has a sturdy build with no sharp edges and an average size and weight. The screen's quality is good with brightness reaching 348 nits and decent gamut and contrast ratio. However, there are some issues with flex in the screen and noticeable backlight bleed. The laptop comes with the Lenovo Vantage software to control the hybrid mode, but disabling it results in worse battery life. The keyboard has some flex and the touchpad is smooth but prone to fingerprints. The laptop has an average selection of ports but offers easy access for upgrades. The battery life is decent at around 5 hours with hybrid mode enabled. The thermal performance of the laptop is not impressive, leading to thermal throttling under heavy load. Despite the RTX 2060 graphics, the performance is similar to a laptop with GTX 1660 Ti due to thermal limitations. Overall, the Lenovo Wi-Fi for five is a mid-range gaming laptop with decent specs but has limitations in performance due to thermal issues.

The battery life is decent at around 5 hours with hybrid mode enabled.
