Legion 5 Intel, 38.35cms - Core Ultra
Hey everyone, I recently bought a Lenovo Legion 5 Intel Core Ultra model (yet to be delivered) and this is actually my first proper gaming/performance laptop, so I’m pretty new to all this.
I mainly bought it for gaming and AI/development related work, but honestly I have no idea what I’m supposed to do once it arrives 😅
Would really appreciate some guidance from experienced Legion owners regarding:
- Initial setup/things I should do first
- Important settings or software to install
- Battery and performance tips
- Thermals and temperature management
- Cooling pad recommendations
I was looking into the Llano V12 since a lot of people recommend it, but it’s currently out of my budget. Are there any good budget cooling pads or even laptop stands that work well with the Legion 5?My budget would be under 5 k Rupees as I'm from India. Also any general tips for maintaining the laptop long term would help a lot since I want this machine to last.
