The short version

The Legion Tower 5i Gen 10 is Lenovo's 30-liter gaming desktop, with Intel Core Ultra 5 and 7 processors, RTX 5060 to RTX 5070 Ti graphics, DDR5-5600 memory and Wi-Fi 6E. Lenovo specifies a customized B860 micro-ATX board and either a 500 W or 850 W power supply depending on configuration. It fits a desk more easily than full towers, but the customized board limits standard part swaps and Lenovo does not say which PSU ships with each model.

Pros

  • Compact 30-liter chassis at 414 × 211 × 490.4 mm
  • Lenovo lists support for up to 128 GB of DDR5 and three 4 TB Gen5 SSDs
  • 2.5 Gbps Ethernet and Wi-Fi 6E
  • Graphics options from RTX 5060 to RTX 5070 Ti

Cons

  • Customized B860 micro-ATX board limits standard replacement options
  • Base memory runs at DDR5-5600 rather than the 6000 MT/s common on DIY builds
  • Lenovo does not state which PSU (500 W or 850 W) ships with each configuration

Best for

  • Mainstream gaming in a desk-friendly tower
  • Buyers who prefer Lenovo's support network

The custom build uses the closest parts in our catalog at their latest prices, including a case, cooler and Windows license where the prebuilt has one. Chips sold only to system builders use their nearest retail sibling, and memory or storage sizes not sold on their own are priced per gigabyte. A positive number means the prebuilt costs more than DIY. It doesn’t count assembly, warranty or your time.

Common questions

Is the Legion Tower 5i upgradeable?

Partly. Lenovo says it supports up to 128 GB of DDR5 and up to three 4 TB Gen5 SSDs, but the motherboard is a customized B860 micro-ATX design, so a standard board swap may not be possible.

What graphics cards are offered?

Lenovo lists GeForce RTX 5060 8GB, RTX 5060 Ti 8GB, RTX 5070 12GB and RTX 5070 Ti 16GB options, paired with Core Ultra 5 225F, Ultra 7 265F or Ultra 7 265KF processors.
