Excellent I miss the materials of the pro version a bit but overall it's a great purchase

I've been using it for 1 week now, it works really well, it's fast and not at all loud. I've installed Lumion 12.5 and it works fine.

Good power and chassis!

Bought this to replace a 7-year-old MSI that I love but the parts were beginning to malfunction because of age (screen, keyboard .ect) I was initially worried about going from the brushed aluminum on my MSI to the polycarbonate here but to my surprise it feels very stiff and strong, almost indistinguishable from the metal lid actually. Have only owned it for less than a day at the time of this review, blasted it with benchmarks and it ate all of them so far with the temps not going too high. Hinges feel good, and the laptop is handsome and sleek. However I wouldn't recommend this for someone who doesn't like a large power brick or a heavier machine. Took one star off for some annoying McAfee software on here by default.

Purchased for my soon and now I'm jealous. It's plays all his games at the highest level, crushing the 60FPS ceiling. The screen is unbelievable at 120Hz. The construction is high quality and sturdy. Notably, the lift on the screen is butter smooth. It might not have all the RBG lights but has a stealth-like style for looks.

Got this as a daily driver for work and backup to my MacBook davinci/neo photo rig. I put 64gb of ddr5 kingston fury and I have an empty slot for an additional SD. Easy to service. Battery hog even on low settings...it has the full size batt. Wish there was a thicker alternative batt, as I would be never if I had to go off batt for more than 3 hour. I'd buy it again over the 7i or 3070 models.... I'm not a gamer.... editing and rendering are more important to me. And like I said, this is backup to my maxxed out macbook m1max... The 5i is a great main laptop or backup! No regrets!

No, the Lenovo 15.6" Legion 5i Gaming Notebook (Phantom Black) BH #LEL5I82RB005 does not have an Arabic keyboard. We can't get it with an Arabic keyboard, if you have a way to print it or use stickers, you could do that.

What docking station is compatible for dual monitor gaming thru nvidia chip?

The Lenovo 15.6" Legion 5i Gaming Notebook (Phantom Black) BH #LEL5I82RB005 would be compatible with any Thunderbolt 4 docking station. Generally most docks do not support refresh rates beyond 60Hz you would need to connect the monitors directly if you intend to game beyond 60hz.
