Lenovo Legion Tower 5i (Gen8) review

pcgamer.com

Lenovo isn't messing around with its Legion gaming PCs. They are resolutely, uncompromisingly just PCs. Sure, there's the faintest nod to 'gamer' styling with the RGB-illuminated front panel and the see-through side, but the Legion Tower 5i is, without wanting to sound at all mean, pretty basic.

Which I think is grand. I am all for that when it comes to affordable gaming PCs, I don't want to see money wasted on needless luxuries when I'm chasing down a good budget rig.

And there certainly aren't any of those here. Pull that side panel off and you'll see what I mean; the CPU cooler is a no-name brand, there are no VRM heatsinks or SSD-cooling plates on the barebones motherboard, and the memory sticks are likewise bare PCBs, too.

The OEM Nvidia RTX 4060 graphics card (basically a non-branded one made for system builders) is similarly simple, but beautifully so.

I'm into miniature cards where they make sense, and the low-end Ada Lovelace GPU is so efficient that it doesn't need a massive dual-slot, triple-fan cooling array to keep it running to full effect.
