 Slowly but surely Lenovo takes off every bit of aggressiveness that the Legion 5 has. Still, despite its more subdued appearance, it's got performance for days, as you'll see now, thanks to the high CGP RTX graphics and AMD's latest processors. The laptop overall looks great, having a metal lid and plastic base with either a silver or gray finish. Our laptop sports the silver paint and absolutely kills it. The glowing logo is gone, with just the divorced Legion written vertically on the lid. Durability is fantastic, which could also be attributed to the weight of 2.4 kg, while a 20mm profile keeps it thin. Opening the lid is easy and smooth, thanks to the stable hinges. It also reveals the keyboard. The unit is superb for all sorts of use, with long key travel and clicky feedback. There is a white backlight, which you can upgrade to a 4th-ton RGB one. The touchpad is pretty large and covered in mylar, which we've had experience with before. While not glass, it is very smooth, while accuracy and responsiveness are up there. Lenovo kickstarted the trend of putting ports on the back, with the Legion 5's backside having a LAN port, a USB Type-C 10GB port, two full-sized USB 5GB ports and a power plug. The left side has one USB Type-C 10GB port and one USB 4 port. On the right there is an audio jack and one full-sized USB 5GB port. The IPS display on the front is stunning, with a QHD resolution and a 165 Hz refresh rate. It also has close to 400 nits of big brightness, while showing 97% ASRGB coverage and a delta-e value of 1.0 when applying our design and gaming profile, making it ideal for creative work. Don't forget to get our profiles, you'll find the link in the description. Powering the laptop is an 80-watt hours battery that lasts for 15 hours and 13 minutes of web browsing, or 9 hours and 22 minutes of video playback when paired with the Ryzen 7 6800H and the RTX 3060 with the 130W power limit. These are amazing results for a gaming laptop. The Ryzen 7 does very well inside the Legion 5, performing similarly to the TUF Gaming A15 and the ROG Strix G15, both from ASUS. On the GPU end, the RTX 3060 delivers top-notch performance both on benchmarks and in games. There is a max switching side, which will improve performance while sacrificing some battery life. The 130W RTX 3060 specifically does very well, making easy work of eSports titles like Apex Legends or any other shooter or MOBA, including Call of Duty, Modern Warfare and its Warzone company. Turning over to single-player titles, the 3060 breaks through the 60 FPS mark in lots of games, going as high as 92 FPS in need for speed heat at the ultra preset. By the way, check out our new channel where we test all popular graphics cards on all popular games and on all presets. It's a lot of work and we'll be happy if you subscribe to it. The setup here is simple but very effective, with 3 bulky heat pipes, 2 fans and a couple of large heat spreaders around the motherboard above the VRAMs and GPU memory. In the CPU stress test, the Ryzen 7 6800H consistently runs at 90W, while clock speed remains high even after the 15-minute mark. Temperatures are high as well, reaching the 95°C max operating temperature. The RTX 3060 runs at high clock speeds and maintains the 130W TGP. In terms of comfort, the temps on the inside cannot be felt on the outside as the base reaches only 38°C which is quite impressive. The fans do get loud, but only when you use the max performance preset. The laptop has great upgradeability, offering access to both the RAM and the storage. There are two sodium slots for up to 64GB of DDR5 memory and two M.2 slots which support the ultra-fast Gen4 SSDs. If you want to see how to get inside the Legion 5, you can find our teardown video on the upper right corner. The new Legion 5 is a spectacular gaming notebook, but it also has spectacular competition with the Acer Stuff Gaming A15 offering similar performance for a decent price. Still, if you prefer the new sleek look and you want to have the latest available tech, by all means, the Lenovo Legion 5 is a good way to spend some money.
