Lenovo Legion 5 15 - Compact gaming notebook relies entirely on AMD power
With the Legion 5 15, Lenovo offers a very attractive gaming notebook that offers decent value for money. The combination of AMD Ryzen 5 5600H and AMD Radeon RX 6600M works very well. All in all, performance is sufficient to enjoy all current games in FHD.
The built-in 165 Hz display also reinforces its purpose as a gaming laptop. Moreover, the Delta E-2000 values are already very good upon delivery.
The gaming performance of the Lenovo Legion 5 15 is solid, that much can be said. On the other hand, the 6 cores of the AMD Ryzen 5 5600H cannot keep up with an 8-core. Speaking of 8-cores: If you absolutely want 8 cores, you can also purchase the Lenovo Legion 5 15 in combination with an AMD Ryzen 7 5800H. For most applications, however, the 6-core is quite sufficient. The Lenovo Legion 5 15 performed very well in terms of battery life, clearly surpassing the class average. However, fan noise under load is somewhat annoying. Furthermore, the built-in SSD with only 512 GB is another small drawback. You should expect 1 TB in a gaming notebook. Fortunately, the Lenovo Legion 5 15 offers another M.2 slot to upgrade the device if needed.
