 Last year, Lenovo was both conservative and bold. 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. And today, the Legion 5 gets an update with the Zen 3 architecture and RTX 3000 graphics cards. Once again, Lenovo relies on plastic for the Legion 5, but there is nothing to worry about since the build quality is on point. Moreover, the elongated backside should keep some of the heat away from your fingers. Here, the weight is not an issue at 2.4 kilos. And thankfully, you get a comfortable keyboard with a long key travel, clicky feedback, and large arrow keys. Plus, there is an optional 4-zone RGB backlight up for grabs. In the same fashion as the Legion 5 Pro, you get two USB Type-C 3.2 Generation 2 ports, three Type-A 3.2 Generation 1, Audio Jack, HDMI 2.1 port, LAN port, and a proprietary power plug. You won't be disappointed by the upgrade options here, as there are two RAM Sodom slots for up to 64GB of DDR4 memory, as well as two M.2 PCI-EX4 slots for storage. Check out our disassembly video to see the opening procedure. The 2021 version of Lenovo Legion 5 comes with a couple of display options. For our review, we've chosen the highest spec one that features a 165 Hz IPS panel. It boasts excellent viewing angles and a good contrast ratio of 1190 to 1. Additionally, it covers 97% of the sRGB color gamut. Not only does this panel have a great color accuracy, but our gaming and web design profile improves it to a Delta E of 0.7. Legion 5 is one of the most color-accurate displays on the market right now. This is combined with a safe backlight regarding the PWM usage, and very fast pixel response times.

Thank you, you're awesome. The battery life here is not that impressive, but you still get more than 6 hours of web browsing and nearly 5 hours of video playback. Looking at the hardware, you can spec up the device with up to a Ryzen 7 5800H, and a 130W RTX 3070. Our particular machine was equipped with the Ryzen 7 and an RTX 3060, which is pretty capable. Unfortunately, the processor wasn't utilizing its maximum potential, but that gave the graphics card more headroom, thanks to the dynamic boost technology. Thanks to that, you can enjoy playing demanding games such as Borderlands 3 and Metro Exodus, even at max settings. Indeed there would be some fan noise but it is definitely worth it, considering the low external temperatures. By the way, we have a playlist of 39 games for the RTX 3060 tested at all graphics presets. For the price they are asking, the Legion 5 might be one of the best gaming laptops on the market. It offers great performance, a comfortable keyboard, as well a vibrant, punchy, and fast-paced IPS display.
