Verdict — Strong OLED Display For A Midrange Gamer
When compared to last year's Legion 5 15IRX10, the Legion 5 15IAX11 sports a slightly larger and higher resolution display (15.3-inch vs. 15.1-inch), up to 30 percent faster CPU performance, and revised port options. Most notably, the larger screen does not entail larger dimensions or a heavier weight. These changes alone make the Legion 5 15IAX11 worth considering over the older Legion 5 15IRX10 even though they are otherwise nearly identical in terms of chassis design and materials.
An immediately noticeable drawback to the system is its very glossy display that appears more reflective than on most other gaming laptops. While this contributes to a sharper picture, some gamers may be turned off by the almost unavoidable reflections. The speakers could have also been louder especially since the fans can be quite noisy if gaming on Performance mode. We nonetheless praise the presence of OLED G-Sync and Advanced Optimus both of which are relatively uncommon on budget-to-midrange gaming laptops.
Pros
+ crisp OLED display with DisplayHDR1000 and G-Sync
+ upgradeable 2x SODIMM + 2x M.2 SSDs
+ long runtimes (on iGPU mode)
+ comfortable arrow keys
+ slim design
Cons
- display is very glossy or reflective
- relatively weak internal speakers
- single-zone RGB lighting only
- fingerprint magnet
- SSD may throttle
Price and Availability
The Lenovo Legion 5i 15IAX11 is now shipping at Best Buy for $2300 as configured for this review.
$1,589.95
Lenovo Legion 5 Gen 10 Gaming Laptop: Ryzen 7 260, NVidia RTX 5060, 16GB DDR5 RAM, 512GB SSD, 15.3" WUXGA (1920x1200) 165Hz Display
The Lenovo Legion 5 15IAX11 is a midrange gaming laptop with a relatively uncommon screen size of 15.3-inches. It sports a newer Arrow Lake Core Ultra 7 251HX CPU instead of the Raptor Lake Core i7-13650HX as found on last year's model, but it otherwise sports the same chassis design as the recent AMD-based Legion 5 15AGP11.
Our test unit is a higher-end configuration with the aforementioned Arrow Lake CPU, 105 W to 115 W GeForce RTX 5070 graphics, and a 1800p 165 Hz OLED display. Other SKUs may ship with RTX 5060 graphics and AMD processors instead. It's worth noting that our specific test unit has been configured with 16 GB of single-channel RAM which can be upgraded to dual-channel if desired by adding a second module.
Competitors include other slim midrange gaming models like the Razer Blade 16, Gigabyte G5, or the HP Omen Transcend series.

Display Response Times
ℹ
Display response times show how fast the screen is able to change from one color to the next. Slow response times can lead to afterimages and can cause moving objects to appear blurry (ghosting). Gamers of fast-paced 3D titles should pay special attention to fast response times.| ↔ Response Time Black to White | ||
|---|---|---|
| 0.65 ms ... rise ↗ and fall ↘ combined | ↗ 0.34 ms rise |  |
| ↘ 0.31 ms fall | ||
| The screen shows very fast response rates in our tests and should be very well suited for fast-paced gaming. In comparison, all tested devices range from 0.1 (minimum) to 240 (maximum) ms. » 2 % of all devices are better. This means that the measured response time is better than the average of all tested devices (19.7 ms). | ||
| ↔ Response Time 50% Grey to 80% Grey | ||
| 0.41 ms ... rise ↗ and fall ↘ combined | ↗ 0.21 ms rise |  |

| The screen shows very fast response rates in our tests and should be very well suited for fast-paced gaming. In comparison, all tested devices range from 0.13 (minimum) to 636 (maximum) ms. » 1 % of all devices are better. This means that the measured response time is better than the average of all tested devices (30.8 ms). | ||
Screen Flickering / PWM (Pulse-Width Modulation)
ℹ
To dim the screen, some notebooks will simply cycle the backlight on and off in rapid succession - a method called Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) . This cycling frequency should ideally be undetectable to the human eye. If said frequency is too low, users with sensitive eyes may experience strain or headaches or even notice the flickering altogether.| Screen flickering / PWM detected | 1298.2 Hz Amplitude: 25 % | ≤ 100 % brightness setting |  |
The display backlight flickers at 1298.2 Hz (worst case, e.g., utilizing PWM) Flickering detected at a brightness setting of 100 % and below. There should be no flickering or PWM above this brightness setting. The frequency of 1298.2 Hz is quite high, so most users sensitive to PWM should not notice any flickering. In comparison: 52 % of all tested devices do not use PWM to dim the display. If PWM was detected, an average of 7680 (minimum: 5 - maximum: 343500) Hz was measured. | |||

After graduating with a B.S. in environmental hydrodynamics from the University of California, I studied reactor physics to become licensed by the U.S. NRC to operate nuclear reactors. There's a striking level of appreciation you gain for everyday consumer electronics after working with modern nuclear reactivity systems astonishingly powered by computers from the 80s. When I'm not managing day-to-day activities and US review articles on Notebookcheck, you can catch me following the eSports scene and the latest gaming news.
