They’re apparently having a July Black Friday. Should I wait?

Here’s all the info:
I did a thorough clean and repaste of my Lenovo legion slim 5 laptop. After closing it all up, my thermals were great, but a couple of hours later there was a sudden shutdown - the fans and case lights were still on, but peripherals were no longer connected, and nothing showed on the screen.
I powered it down by holding the power button. I turned it back on again. It was in the same state as when I turned it off.
I turned it off again, and right before it switched off, the peripherals came to life and then shut down again. I turned it on again, and it was fine - for several minutes, until the process repeated. Windows event manager only showed a kernel-power critical error, nothing else.
I booted into bios after going through the aforementioned cycle again, and after a few seconds of it showing, it looked like what you see in the picture. And about two minutes later it did the whole shutdown thing again.

It was late so I decided to continue in the morning, and curiously, while I was sleeping the fans and lights turned on and it looked like it was in sleep mode. When trying to boot it again today, it no longer boots into a usable state at all - so the issue got progressively worse with time..?

I should note that the shutdowns happened while running on dGPU-only mode as well as integrated graphics, and seem nothing to do with thermals as not only were my temps great, but it was fine with ~ an hour of intensive gaming yet shut down at the bios.

I mostly game with this laptop so It's always on AC power 90% of its lifetime I have used it. I left it alone at sleep for a while today and for the first time I'm seeing battery charged upto 99% im pretty sure I had conservation mode enabled and when I checked it still is. Should I be worried about the battery health or the power adapter or anything like that? It's just that it never happened to me before. Which is weird. Thank you for any advice

"I noticed that when the GPU is idle and the load is strictly on the CPU, like in the OCCT (Linpack) test, the laptop pushes maximum power to the processor. It draws up to 100 watts initially, then drops down to 80 watts, and hits temperatures up to 100°C. This happens in both Auto and Performance modes. I don't know why Lenovo set the CPU temperature limit to 100°C, but that is way too high.
Here is a review where this exact behavior is mentioned: https://laptopmedia.com/review/lenovo-legion-5-15-gen-10-review/#p11

saw this image on Lenovo website. but unable to find this product! anyone has more info ?

It's a lot quieter than I expected, I've only tested this on balanced mode so far. It have the Ryzen 9 AI 465, 32GB, 5060. Temperature on balanced without gaming, GPU hover around 30's and CPU avg 50's when using chrome. CPU temperature fluctuate often in a good way, once in a while it drop to 20's - 30's. Even with benchmark testing and pushing the GPU, it's still a lot quieter than my old ACER Predator Triton that sadly died.

my legion r7000 freeze after login. The mouse is still usable, function key like volume and brightness work, but everything else (icon, task bar, ...) on the screen cannot be clicked. And there is this little box here. What should i do

I bought legion 7i 15 months ago and this m600s mouse came with my laptop using it daily since i got this. It was a really good mouse and expensive as well; i was playing valorant for the first time and non stop playing for around 6 hours and when i was done it stopped working. It is not even turning on in wired mode or wireless. am broken from inside. I loved it so much R.I.P.🤧

as they delivered the bag and mouse , but the laptop is customised so it will take sometime to come😭

Hello Reddit, Today my screen suddenly become like this while in use. I already replaced my laptop motherboard in 9th July 2025 by Lenovo on site technician and today it broke down again. Luckily I've extended my warranty and still have over a year left.

I don't know if it's just my bad luck but I'm regretting buying this Laptop.

I will try contacting support again and see how it go. In the meantime anyone have a suggestion on how I can try fixing this on my side? I already use DDU on safe mode and reinstall a new Nvidia driver and also update using Lenovo Vantage but both failed to fix the problem.

Just got a i9 legion and the ethernet cover broke off. How easy is this to fix. Ordered a i7 legion ethernet cover, it looks about the same.
