Verdict - Legion 5 15 with an excellent price-to-performance ratio
The Lenovo Legion 5 15, featuring the Intel Core i7-13650HX and GeForce RTX 5070, once again delivers an outstanding all-around package and stands as one of the most affordable RTX 5070 gaming laptops at €1,499. Its gaming performance is on par with the more expensive Legion 5 Pro 16. Combined with an excellent OLED display boasting a 165 Hz refresh rate and impressive brightness, gaming becomes an absolute pleasure. Thanks to the pre-installed color profiles, even demanding photo and video editing can be done with highly accurate colors.
The Intel Core i7-13650HX draws significantly more power than the Ryzen 7 260 but doesn’t deliver much additional performance. This also leads to noticeably shorter battery life. The Intel model lacks USB 4.0 support, and Advanced Optimus isn’t available, though that’s not a major drawback since a MUX switch is included.
Naturally, there are a few smaller drawbacks, such as the loud fans during gaming sessions - although competitors often perform even worse in this area. Overall, though, there’s little to complain about. The Legion 5 15 remains an excellent gaming laptop through and through.

GPU performance
Lenovo equips the laptop with the highest-power configuration of the Nvidia GeForce RTX 5070 laptop GPU, rated at 115 watts. Graphics switching is handled through Optimus technology, though a MUX switch is also available. In synthetic benchmarks, the Legion generally outperforms its competitors, and even the Legion Pro 5 16 holds its own. GPU performance remains completely stable under sustained load but drops by about 30% when running on battery power (maximum 55 watts).

Gaming performance
Gaming performance is also excellent, although the Legion Pro 5 16 is slightly faster in some titles. However, the difference is hardly noticeable, and most games still run smoothly even at QHD resolution. Only extremely memory-intensive titles may struggle due to the limited 8 GB of video memory.

Emissions
System noise
The fan behavior is identical to that of the AMD model. In Performance mode, noise levels reach up to 50.1 dB(A) during gaming, which is clearly audible (Auto mode: ~44.5 dB(A); Battery Saver mode: ~40.5 dB(A)). We recommend using Battery Saver mode for light tasks, as the fans are often inactive in this setting. No additional electronic noises were detected.

Temperature
Surface temperatures remain very low during everyday use, but we recorded spots exceeding 50 °C during gaming, so the device shouldn’t be used on your lap. In the stress test, the GPU stabilized at 92 watts and the CPU at around 42 watts.
(±) The maximum temperature on the upper side is 41.6 °C / 107 F, compared to the average of 40.5 °C / 105 F, ranging from 21.2 to 68.8 °C for the class Gaming.
(-) The bottom heats up to a maximum of 52.7 °C / 127 F, compared to the average of 43.3 °C / 110 F
(+) In idle usage, the average temperature for the upper side is 29.4 °C / 85 F, compared to the device average of 33.9 °C / 93 F.
(±) 3: The average temperature for the upper side is 35.9 °C / 97 F, compared to the average of 33.9 °C / 93 F for the class Gaming.
(+) The palmrests and touchpad are reaching skin temperature as a maximum (33.3 °C / 91.9 F) and are therefore not hot.
(-) The average temperature of the palmrest area of similar devices was 28.9 °C / 84 F (-4.4 °C / -7.9 F).

Energy Management
At idle, the Intel model’s power consumption is slightly higher than that of the AMD variant. The difference becomes more pronounced under moderate load, at just under 30 watts, where the HX processor’s impact is noticeable. During the stress test, we measured a peak consumption of 247 watts, which quickly stabilized at around 175 watts. The included 245-watt power adapter is therefore adequately sized.
