Lenovo has put this hardware to good use, as the Legion 5 15 Gen 10 is a standout decide in its category. In fact, we termed the laptop “the best mainstream gamer” in our review. Our review device featured almost the exact same hardware as the Legion 5 SKU on sale, so be sure to check it out to know everything important about the device. If you’re not much of a reader, we also have a video review on YouTube linked at the end.
To sum up our Legion 5 15 Gen 10 review findings, Lenovo has done a great job with the basics here. The metal-plastic hybrid chassis looks sleek, is durable, and is rather compact for a 15-incher. The 15.6-inch OLED display stands as one of the best in this price segment with 500 nits of SDR brightness (1,000 nits in HDR), stellar color reproduction, factory calibration, and a 165 Hz refresh rate. Our only minor complaint was the PWM flickering and the lack of Nvidia Advanced Optimus.
Similarly, the performance of the Lenovo Legion 5 Gen 10 is also quite good. We noted that the combination of the 115 W RTX 5060 laptop GPU and the 8-core Ryzen 7 260 was powerful enough to deliver smooth 1080p gaming at high/ultra settings. For instance, the laptop played Call of Duty Black Ops 6 at more than 80 FPS at 1080p/ultra.
Thankfully, this performance doesn’t come at the expense of overheating and excessively loud operation. While you will need a pair of headphones when pushing the laptop hard, neither noise nor thermals are remotely an issue during routine use.
Finally, the Lenovo Legion 5 15 Gen 10 can also last for more than 10 hours when playing back video. So, while you’ll need to keep the laptop plugged in, the laptop should last a workday of regular use on a single charge.
