Design

This laptop offers quite simple and not-so-overly-fancy looks when compared to the other Lenovo laptops but it gives quite a gentle gaming laptop look as well. This notebook comes in a Storm Grey color which is very similar to Apple’s space grey color offering.

Opening the lid, you get a 16-inch display with slim bezels on the vertical sides of the screen and a slightly thicker bezel going across the top, along with a 720p webcam. On the upside, you will get a legion logo which very well defines the type of laptop it is.

In addition, Legion 5 Pro has a long list of ports on all three sides. Most of them are on the back of the laptop’s housing. Well, there are no RGB lights on either of the sides. Some of the major amendments that Lenovo did is that the rear exhaust fans are larger in this one, and the fan blades are also 40% thinner than usual.

Pricing and Availability

This masterpiece can be bought today from Lenovo.com. The range of this notebook starts at $1,799, though it’s often on sale for less — usually, you can find this laptop starting at $1,439. All configurations on Lenovo come with the AMD Ryzen 7 6800H CPU, while the RAM, storage, and GPU can change. You can also purchase the Legion 5 Pro at other merchants like Walmart, etc.

Display

The laptop offers a 16-inch display which is enough to provide a butter-smooth motion in any mainstream single-player game, and also it is good enough to support any esports games. When plugged on, the display gets 500 nits of brightness along with the bonus of a 165Hz panel. The brightness and contrast balance indicates that the display of this laptop offers outstanding vibrancy and nuance, particularly in brighter areas.

On the top of the display, there’s a 720p Webcam that doesn’t have Windows Hello IR support even.

Keyboard

Legion 5 Pro has a great RGB keyboard, which is very easy and smooth to use. The Legion 5 offers full-size cursor keys, a double-height Return key, and the power button which is too far from the keyboard itself – so you won’t accidentally smack it during a gaming session.

Not only this, the 1.5mm keys the laptop offers will help you avoid tons of typos when you have to type up long compositions, this is something I don’t usually predict from gaming laptop keyboards.

Performance and Gaming

This laptop is a full package for productivity, it can easily handle multi-task working in just seconds. Any game within your imagination can run on this laptop very easily.

This laptop packs a lot of power, even though this AMD Ryzen CPU inside isn’t even the top mobile chip in AMD’s lineup. Just a reminder, the Legion 5 Pro has the AMD Ryzen 9 6800H CPU. which has eight cores, 16 threads, a base clock of 3.2GHZ, and 45W TDP. That’s paired with Nvidia RTX 3070 Ti graphics and 32GB of RAM. I think the 32GB RAM is what factors into making these games run smoothly.

Wrap Up!

This laptop also has some limitations to consider as well, which is that it is not so good looking laptop. Battery life is also surprisingly short during the gameplay, but obviously, it works well with certain work tasks.

However, for gamers who want a great deal and who are comfortable with operating at 60 FPS on the latest games in QHD, or for creative people who concentrate on CPU performance, Lenovo has put jointly a very compelling combination here.

On the whole, Lenovo’s laptop serves a quiet keyboard, a decent design, and a great connectivity experience. Moreover, the graphics of the notebook can handle almost every game that you can imagine. That’s all we can ever ask for a laptop to offer and the legion does the job very potentially.
