Lenovo Legion 5 dilemma
Hi guys. I am struggling with choosing the right specc on a Lenovo Legion 5i (2025). Right now I am standing between 2 different models/specs, but I could need some input on which one to buy, as I am struggling to decide. They are as following:
Spec 1: Legion 5i: i7-13650HX, RTX 5060, 32GB ram, 1TB ssd, 2560x1600 OLED 500 nits 165Hz screen
Spec 2: Legion 5i: i7-13650HX, RTX 5070, 24GB ram, 1TB ssd, 1920x1200 IPS 300 nits 165Hz screen
Spec 1 is one I've "built" on Lenovo's site after my own preferences, while Spec 2 is a machine I can buy of the shelf of a local store. They are pretty much in the same price range, the difference is so small it doesn't matter much.
I kinda like the thought of having 32GB ram and not 24GB (ofc I can add more later, but yeah). Also, what do you guys think of running a 5060 on a 1600p screen. Is it worth it? Lenovo's OLED screens are amazing, the 8GB vram limit is bothering me. I am leaning towards the 5060 one, but I'd like some input from others if you have any tips/5 cents.
Cheers!
