I would suggest that for the future, please disconnect the battery and any power source before adding or removing any component on the system board to avoid shorting out anything.

I love the way he is professionally and normally doing his video not just editing every single word mistake he says ..great job

Best "take apart" video I've found to explain removing that bottom cover. Couldn't have done it with out you. Thanks!

The most informative video I have seen on this. Thanks

I bought this in black friday but with a 3070 at 1169€.i must say its a beast: great thermals even after 3 hours in warzone at max settings,not a qhd screen but still a great experience and refresh rate,keyboard feels top of the line.very happy with lenovo legion 5.

Finally bought this exact same laptop from the Rockville Micro Center 4 days ago. I have completed setting it up for work, transferring everything that I need from my previous MSI laptop to this Lenovo.

Your explanation of how to take the back is amazing. I've watched a few videos and all skipped over how tight it was, showing strategy to work the tool back and forth, reinforcing to take your time. Great stuff, helped me alot to understand how to approach this.

Dude! This video helped me a lot in being prepared when opening up my own legion for an upgrade. Thank you!

Nice to see somebody local review this laptop. I am in MD and have been to the Micro Center store you got this laptop. Will be getting this exact laptop soon.

17:30 don't sell them, the company might want it in it's original state for any warranty support

I've got the UK version with a 5800h and 3060. Came with 8gb ram and a 512gb SSD. So this video is exactly what I was looking for to upgrade those parts. My understanding is that you can take out the SSD sled on the left of the 60wh battery to put on a larger one with that screw hole you pointed out. Nice video 👍 Only complaint I have is that the hinge in the centre of the screen rubs and has chipped away some of the protective covering.

I have the exact same model, but mine came with a 80W/h battery, my battery use all space from side to side , good video!

almost bought that one, after my pos HP omen 15 fell apart, never HP again....I ended up w 1650ti + 4800, added 16gb ram and it runs really well, so far...

Thank you so much for making this video. I just bought this exact laptop at Microcenter in Mayfield Heights, Ohio. (Paid $1299.00) I wanted to upgrade my RAM as well to 32GB. I didn't even realize you could add another SSD to this machine so thank you for that too. What size SSD can this be upgraded to? What capacity did you use? My last few laptops have been HP Pavilion's and they were a PAIN to take apart. I like how you can access everything once the back panel is off, so much easier. Even though the back panel can be a little tedious, it's still going to be easier than my previous laptops. I'm pretty confident to do the upgrades now after seeing this video so very much appreciated ! This is my first laptop with a dedicated graphics card and NVMe SSD so I hope I made a good choice. Current laptop is a 3rd Gen Intel i7 from 2014 .. heard good things about the Ryzen 7.

Thank you bro finally a video on legion 2021... Really appreciates you👍👍

It's impossible to open this thing without breaking any of the plastic thingies that secure the cover into place, but honestly it doesn't matter at all. I personally broke one while opening it and another one while closing it. I have opened a lot of laptops without causing any damage before, this one was the most difficult by far.

Literally the best breakdown I have seen so far!

duel rank matters a LOT for ryzen and fabric. Just the inherent way it utilizes ram and the cpu utilizes cache. Duel rank on a duel channel system acts like quad channel single rank(which turns into duel rank) bc of orientation/quad channel. Which is a more ideal setting for AMD to equate to performance. I think ill just think about a 32gb kit if im going through the effort to open it up. The samsung gen3 drive seems pretty good for a stock drive/included drive compared to most of what the other brands use a 2000 read/write range drive. But im sure for the smaller files it hiccups.

Best unboxing of this laptop I’ve seen yet!! Thank you

I have the 3070, 512GB, 80Whr version of this and it's bloody lovely. Runs everything in ultra I've tried so far. Slapped a crucial P5 1TB in, but can't really find 32GB of RAM with a decent enough CAS. Otherwise I cannot fault the machine at all. I'm very happy with it

Customer: "Lenovo said this had an 80W hour battery?" Lenovo: "It says something different on the battery inside the unit? You saw it when you opened it?"

I just took delivery of a Legion 5 Pro 2021 - same specs except I have the 16" screen and outfitted it with 8GB RAM stock since I knew I'd upgrade it to my RAM choice anyway. I have a 2x16GB Kingston FURY kit (dual-rank DDR4-3200) on the way to install. Thanks for the video!

Hey. Just wanted to thank You for this video. It helped me a lot with upgrading my legion 5 :)

Great video! What SSD did you install? The spec sheet says you can only have 1TB in one slot and 512GB in the other (which seems a bit weird!) - have you tried going beyond that to see if it works?

Great video! I ordered the R5 5600 with RTX 3060 just because I found a very good deal, I can't wait to have it!

Hello Daniel Mikhail! great video, can you put the link of the SSD you install? with the exact reference please?

Thank you for this video! Your tips are welcomed by those of us looking to upgrade some components! Excellent quality video!

I few days ago I bought this laptop and it works great, actually im interested to do an upgrade in the future, so here I am, new suscriber, please keep us informed!

Just upgraded watching you video on my legion 5 rizen 7 5800H 8Gb Ram, the Teamgroup Elite 32 gb ram CL22 3200Mhz thanks for sharing.!!!

thanks, two times in a row i open my 15ach6ha. i am very confident, thanks to you

Still looking forward about the video you promised us with

Your honest review helped me to consider this laptop to buy for my purposes

So when you were talking about the Legion 5 Pro and complaining it's a 16 inch laptop, well it's not really. It's the same form factor as the 15.6 laptop, they just stretched the screen and got rid of the bezel to make a 16 inch screen. The size of the Pro and 5 are identical.

great video hope you can get a better camera stand in the future keep it up

Nice video, well explained, I've got one similar to yours and I know for sure that I will have a problem in the future with it, which is DUST. Do you think you could make a video showing how to clean the fans? Is it possible for someone with not much experience in computers to do that? Thank you!

Thanks a lot you saved my life with this good tuto

Thank you so much for that video!

Hey great video, nice thorough job with the opening/installation of RAM. How has the Legion held up over the past 10 months you’ve owned it?

Nice!! Thanks for the review, I just ordered one from micro center today.

I also believe that dual rank modules (2Rx8) can perform better than 1Rx8. Would you mind testing the timespy (specifically the cpu score) and cinebench with the dual rank modules installed?

I'll toss in that the 2.5'' slot seems to only be on the 15'' version. The 17'' version has a larger battery, so there's only one spare m.2 slot available for storage upgrades

Pro Tip: If you are using a gopro, you can remove the flickering in the quik app!

Will be buying this laptop soon How long do you think it'll last? Planning to keep this for 5 years with minor upgrades here and there

Shouldn't you disconnect the battery before working on it.

My L5P came with Hynix rams and I just swapped it out with Crucials (the one that Jarrod used in his videos) and scored higher on SOTR benchmark test

woah.. i bought my hp omen ryz7 5800h 3060 at july 17 3060 is the sweet spot and 5800h is more than enough best combo

Great video, best one on this laptop i have seen. Thinking of buying either this or the Acer Nitro 5 with 3060, do you have any recommendations maybe?

Mate - I am going to buy a laptop tomorrow and i was going to get the Advantage Edition but after watching your video I am having a seconds thought as for me too, trackpad is something very important. I have never heard anything bad about it from other YT channels. I am so confused now

Do you think the non Pro 5 with rtx3070 would be good enough for Graphic Design/3D modeling? I'm a little bit worried about the screen but in my country the only option is that or the 7 with the same GPU ($400+), thing is the non Pro is the only one available as the Legion 7 haven't been in stock since May and doesn't seem it will arriva any time soon from what the distributor tells me. Thanks!

nice video, was thinking about buying 5800/3070 too and it seems like im going to get it instead of msi a10m i had previously

You should probably unplug the battery before doing that. For safe measure

Thanks a lot for this detailed video, I have to like it. May I ask what would happen if you installed an additional 4TB SSD NVMe, would it work?

What $1,379.99! Here in the Philippines is 84,998PHP so if I convert it to dollar its almost $1,700, If I decided to upgrade it would cost me $2,040.

Allegedly you can install a 2.5" Sata-SSD if you don't put in a bigger Battery. At least in the previous Model it came with a caddy already inside for that purpose. But in your version it seems this caddy is missing unfortunately. It would be great to put an 8TB SSD in, because they are way cheaper than M.2, and there's enough room - but is there even a SATA connector for that?

I think i have seen somewhere you can fit a normal SSD in to that empty room beside the battery

Thank you 😊

We cant do that in india ! No Warranty only service person can do that 😁🤣

I want to buy it this month, how was it after using it for almost a year? Did you update it to windows 11?

Thx for the video. The additional ssd space is in 2280 format right ? Because I’ve seen there are 2 ssd slot in there one 2280 and one 2242

They come with 80whr batteries for extra $ you got the cheaper configuration but it can be upgraded

What do you think is better for 3d animation works & rendering (Adobe products :Photoshop, After effects, Premier, Autocad), Is it (Intel i7 core) or (AMD Ryzen) ? I am confused about which processor to get for my work.

I got the 5600h one today and I'm planning to upgrade the battery to 80 whr after an year or so

Lenovo Ideapad 3 gaming has exactly the same specs ryzen 7 5800H and RTZX 3060 for around $1150 (on sale), 1TB SSD storage, 16gb DDR4 RAM, 15.6 " monitor. I am beignning to wonder if I actually got a Legion 5 fit into a Ideapad 3 case.

can you kindly show a diagram of where the clips are? aftraid of breaking tabs or cracking the case.

Hello, is it a (WIFI 6) or not ? Thanks for the great review :)

Nice Video,thank youIhave just upgraded the same my lenove by 2x 16Gb 2R 3200 Kingston memory recent;y and performance is slightetter than original 2x * 8Gb 1R 3200 Ramaxel memmory was on board. The only mention I would like to say amd it can be important,you ned to disconnect battery before replacing component s ad in this Lenovit is very easy to do just pull battery connector because static electricity could affect modules. That is recommended step. beside of that - great video as I said. bythe way I am looking to see if 2x 32 Kingston FURY SO-Dimm with CL20 wioll be good investment for that. I saw people were able to install 32Gb modules there a well without isue.

I can not for the life of me get the back cover off. I don't want to break anything but right in the middle where the older models had a screw . It's literally stuck on that spot

I grabbed this in 17inch. was 1300 at microcenter.

Just tried this with my legion 5 pro and smoke was coming off the motherboard make sure to disconnect the battery before you start removing parts

I was able to snag a Legion 5 Pro with Ryzen 7 5800H RTX 3070 2 TB for $1400 off facebook

Aint that space aside the battery for 2.5" sata drive?

Why lenovo cut sata in newer legion 5 😢 ... earlier rev. of motherboard with the Intel processor had a slot for a 2.5 "7mm hdd. After I bought a legion 5 with amd and rtx, I was unpleasantly surprised. 😢

I just picked up the Alienware M15R5 Ryzen 5800H, RTX 3060 and 165Hz lcd 3ms for $1675 Cnd. Alienware recently added 2 bios updates this month 1 to add the option for muc switch in the bois. And 2 they just added a 15watt increase to GPU in boost mode. Things a beast now. All Aluminium/Magnesium chassis.

it s not that easy to open the case !

Should I be worried that the SSD sits right on top of the CMOS battery?

can you provide details and links to RAM and SSD you installed here?

What SSD did you take?. I just opened the laptop and thought I bought the wrong SSD because I got a Samsung EVO 2 TB, but I dont know if there is any way to place that one in this laptop xD😢

Hi hope all is well I really like this laptop and want to get it during black Friday off of Amazon. Except the 3050 ti model right now mind if I ask can I get the specs of the ssd and the ram so when I do order it I can get all of that together when I order please. Like is it 2666 or 3200 ram type etc

Why does it have both Radeon and Nividia shields there? Like, one gpu is integrated, and the other one is discrete? Am I right?

I have a legion 5 Ryzen7 5800H RTX 3060 with a 300W charger. It's huge. now my question is. if I plug in my laptop and do normal day-to-day tasks (not Gaming). then how much watts will be consumed.

Last week price of this item was 1199$ and now its 1299$ can anyone tell me why is that? Thanks

Hello!!! Thanks for the video!! I have the same specs laptop and I'm thinking about doing the same upgrades.. But I would like to know something. Is it possible to do Raid 0 on this laptop? Is difficult to find information regarding this topic.

Model with ryzen 5800h + rtx 3060 and also with 120hz costs around 1300$ in my country. The same model but with 165hz costs 1500$. Does it make any sense to pay 200$ more for 165hz instead of 120hz screen? I mean, is the 120hz 250 nits screen that bad?

Which Phillips head screwdriver number you used for opening the back cover?

Is there a big difference in games performance in legion 5 3060, ryzen 5 5600h vs 7 5800h?

Why is that 60whr though? I am planning buy this from amazon stingray 512 gb and add a 1tb myself.. the description says 80whr

Sir I have a question about lenovo legion 5 15 I have same laptop i saw you're video for ram upgrading do you have problems with (usable ram) or i can use same ram as yours please and I can't get in to advanced bios settings can you please help me out I will be thankfull

I just ordered one of these but all official documentation says the second m.2 slot is 2242, clearly yours isn't, is that just a mistake on Lenovo's part?

Got the amd 5600H on tnt is model, what wifi card do you have, which one can I use? Mine didn’t come with one, just a Realtek Lan card

even though i use the same laptop, I always hate when I have to open my laptop why they don't learn from Alienware it's just like 1...2...3 open the back door

hello, i'm not able to find memories with frequencies 3200 mhz, in stores here in my country, but i have a hyperx impact memory 16 gb 2666 mhz cl15 can i use it in legion 5? Even if the faster you lower the frequency, I would like to know if you have the compatibility to work together.

i have legion 5 15ach6h, the inside is like yours , is there a way i can add hdd ? or there in now way for that ? (because i saw some models they have a place to put it = plastic piece)

Bro, I got a question. As watching you tearing down the Legion 5, I can see the SSD position is under the Arrow buttons right? I have no idea when ever I play games (3A games), the hottest place on the Laptop is not the GPU or CPU, it' is SSD place. Is that normal?

Hi I need help, can I install 2tb ssd than the default manufacturer capacity on this laptop ? Because it according to specs that the other 2280 slot is only up to 1tb. I want to know if its okay or no problems if I put 2tb in a 1tb capacity ssd slot on this same laptop as yours.

does it have any seal? because i don't want to lose my warranty by removing the back cover....

he never made the video guys

Just got this laptop and asking if I can add and external HDD to it
