Compared to the Legion 5, the 5Pro is a bit larger and heavier, but feels more premium with the metal construction. inch 16:9 matte display on the Legion 5 series, with a fair-quality FHD panel, the same we’ve already tested in the Legion Slim 7 series. You can stitch it off with Fn+L, but even so, I much prefer the simpler lid designs of both the Legion 5 and the Legion 7 series; this 5 Pro is reminiscent of the older Lenovo Y series of gaming laptops. Although it kept the same design, which proved successful in the past, the manufacturer took the risk to rely on AMD (in addition to Intel) for their processors. Anyway, here’s what we got on our unit, with the screen’s brightness set at around 120 nits (~60 brightness) and 60/165 Hz refresh.

Lenovo Legion 5 15ITH6 Gaming laptop - 11th Intel Core i7-11800H, 16GB RAM, 512 GB SSD, NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3060 6GB GDDR6 Graphics, 15.It’s competitive against Ryzen 7 and Core i7 models, and only 5-7% slower than Ryzen 9 or Core i9 configurations. We do not share your credit card details with third-party sellers, and we do not sell your information to others. All in all, the only thing that slightly bothers me on this Legion 5 design is the always-on light in the power button, but even that is just a small colored dot and not a big circle like on the Legion 7 Slim series, so not as annoying when using the laptop at night.

The power button is also identical to the one on the standard Legion 5 lineup, with the colored always-on LED in it. I was already interested in technology from an early age, and I was able to study for my dream job as an IT Systems Electronics Engineer. The screen is one of the main selling points of the Legion 5 Pro series over the competition in the mid-range segment. On the dGPU mode, the internal display hooks straight into the Nvidia chip via the MUX, so the iGPU lag does not interfere in any way with the performance. Finally, I’ll add that gaming on battery mode is somewhat possible here, with the CPU running at 15-25W and the GPU at around 30-35W, so don’t expect much in performance.The Balanced profile barely impacts the fan noise with combined loads, and the Quiet mode is the most usable option here, as it keeps the fans at around 43-44 dB with the laptop on the desk and around 40 dB with it pushed up, as the lower temperatures somehow allow for quieter fans in this case. The Legion 5 is far from inconspicuous visually, since its striking design has also made it to the latest 2022 model, which is based on an AMD APU. Lenovo went with consistent inputs across their entire range of Legion laptops, and that means little has been sacrificed on what is the entry-level Legion 5 series. This Legion 5 Pro gets an efficient thermal module, with two fans, four radiators, and three heatsinks that spread over the components.
