Lenovo Legion 5 Pro 16 review: A gaming laptop with a bright 165-Hz display

The Ark Reactor of Legion. If you open the Legion 5 Pro gaming laptop, you will find a hidden message that indicates that Lenovo probably had the goal of creating a technological marvel here. However, despite the Ryzen 7 and RTX 3070, the designers didn't quite succeed in giving justice to the example from the comics.

For about four years, Lenovo has been present in the high-end gaming market with its Legion gaming laptops. But the introduction of the predecessor models with Nividia graphics cards of the 2000 series happened at the worst possible time, right before Nvidia introduced its new graphics cards of the 3000 series. With a Ryzen 7-5800H processor, 32 GB of DDR 4 working memory, a 1-GB NVMe SSD, and an Nvidia GeForce RTX 3070, our test unit offers a good equipment base to achieve a top performance. However, Lenovo doesn't quite succeed in creating a technological marvel such as that created by Tony Stark in the Marvel Comics with his Ark Reactor. At the same time, the single tests show that the hardware of the competitors, despite looking better on paper, doesn't always bring the better performance.

The direct competitors of the Lenovo Legion Pro 5 include the Asus ROG Strix G15 gaming laptop, the Medion Erazer Beast X25, and the Alienware m15 R5 Ryzen Edition, among others. All these laptops use the current top hardware and range at similar levels in terms of their size and weight.

Case - Lenovo's design language is clearly recognizable

Lenovo's design language can be seen in many elements of the Lenovo Legion 5 Pro: Straight and flat lines, a discreet branding, slightly rounded keys, and the slanted front edge show the origin of this gaming laptop. Lenovo also elevates the simple design with many details such as the logos on the sides or the slanted edges of the lid. And finally, the large, illuminated Legion logo and the large fan vents make it obvious what kind of device we have here. 

While Lenovo uses aluminum for the lid and bottom of the case, the top of the case with the keyboard, trackpad, and palm rests is made from plastic, which helps keeping the surface temperatures within bearable limits. The case is extremely stable. The display lid can hardly be bent, and the keyboard does not show any give even when we apply a higher amount of pressure. The display cannot be opened very far – the maximum opening angle is about 130 degrees. 

The size of the Legion 5 Pro is the same as that of 15.6-inch laptops in the 16:9 format, so the Lenovo laptop offers a slightly larger screen in a case of the same size.

Equipment - The Legion 5 Pro offers many connections and can be opened easily

A large part of the connections is on the back of the case. Depending on whether you use a mouse with your left or right hand, the positioning of the connections on the side can become a small hindrance. 

The available connections leave little to be desired. However, the laptop does not offer an SD card reader, and because of the AMD platform used, Thunderbolt is also not available.

Communication

An Intel AX200 WLAN module allows communicating via WiFi 6 (802.11ax) and Bluetooth 5. While the WLAN transfer rates of the laptop are slightly below average, the gaming laptop also offers a LAN port for a wired connection to the Internet.

In addition to the paperwork and power supply, the box of the Lenovo Legion 5 Pro only includes two stickers with the logos of the Legion series.

Maintenance

In order to open the case, you only need a Phillips screwdriver and a suction cup or plastic prying tool. After you have removed the ten screws, the bottom of the case can be opened easily using a suction cup, or if necessary, you can also pry it open with a plastic tool.  

Inside, all the replaceable components are also protected by additional covers. After removing the covers, you can see that the working memory, SSD, and WLAN module can be replaced, and a free M.2 connection also gives you the option to expand the storage.

Input Devices - A little bit of RGB illumination

Keyboard

The Legion Pro 5 gaming laptop is equipped with an RGB-illuminated island keyboard. The key stroke of slightly more than 1 mm (~0.04 in) is quite comfortable. The key size of approx. 16 × 15 mm (~0.63 x 0.59 in) corresponds approximately to that of a standard keyboard. While gaming, the keys show a good response behavior. The keyboard illumination offers two brightness levels and four areas where you can adjust the color. Since the transitions between the areas are not abrupt, they show mixed colors. The Lenovo Vantage application allows you to select among various illumination modes and effects.

The macros for games and other applications, which can be set in the Vantage application, represent an additional value. The macros can also be programmed fairly easily using the Lenovo Vantage application.

The multitouch-capable ClickPad has a comfortable size and a very smooth surface. However, its positioning towards the left and the integrated keys make using the ClickPad harder while gaming, since the hands are constantly in each other's way.

Display - A super bright QHD panel with 165 Hz

With its high QHD resolution and 165-Hz refresh rate, the matte display in the 16:10 format is very well-suited for gaming. In addition, the display panel supports Adaptive Sync. 

At an average brightness of 522.6 cd/m², the display in the Lenovo Legion is very bright. If you start the laptop at its highest brightness settings, this can already feel uncomfortable for the eyes. The screen bleeding shown in the image to the right only occurs if Dolby Vision is deactivated and the brightness set to the maximum level.

* ... smaller is better

The display of the Legion Pro 5 covers almost 100% of the sRGB color space. Colors are reproduced accurately in the state of delivery as well as after the calibration with CalMan. You can download our color profile from the link in the info box above.

At 1020:1, the contrast ratio is rather average. It is worthwhile to slightly reduce the display brightness and activate Dolby Vision. At less than 70% brightness, dark image areas will gain in intensity. Thanks to its fast response times, the display is well-suited for gamers.

Outdoors, the display of the Lenovo Legion Pro 5 strikes a good figure. The matte surface hardly produces any reflections, and the display brightness ensures easy readability even in bright sunlight.

Display Response Times

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
4.8 ms ... rise ↗ and fall ↘ combined↗ ms rise
↘ 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. » 12 % of all devices are better.
This means that the measured response time is better than the average of all tested devices (21.6 ms).
       Response Time 50% Grey to 80% Grey
9.2 ms ... rise ↗ and fall ↘ combined↗ 3 ms rise
↘ 6.2 ms fall
The screen shows fast response rates in our tests and should be suited for gaming.
In comparison, all tested devices range from 0.2 (minimum) to 636 (maximum) ms. » 17 % of all devices are better.
This means that the measured response time is better than the average of all tested devices (33.9 ms).

Screen Flickering / PWM (Pulse-Width Modulation)

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 not detected

In comparison: 53 % of all tested devices do not use PWM to dim the display. If PWM was detected, an average of 18110 (minimum: 5 - maximum: 3846000) Hz was measured.

The viewing angle stability also shows that Lenovo uses a good display. There are no noticeable distortions in the color reproduction, and only the brightness changes slightly depending on the viewing angle.

Performance - AMD and Nvidia complement each other very well

Our test unit is equipped with an AMD Ryzen 7-5800H processor, an Nividia GeForce RTX 3070, 32 GB of DDR-4 RAM, and a 1-TB NVMe SSD from Western Digital. With this, the laptop offers sufficient computing performance for current games, and there should also be sufficient performance reserves in the Legion 5 Pro for image and video processing. All the tests were run in the high performance mode with the AMD Radeon graphics chip deactivated.

Processor

The AMD Ryzen 7 5800H is a mobile processor for larger laptops that are supposed to offer a higher class of performance. The processor can be configured by the manufacturer with a TDP between 35 and 54 watts, with Lenovo deciding for the golden middle of 45 watts. It is surprising that most benchmarks don't show a significant performance advantage of the better Ryzen 9 5900HX. The Intel processors in the competitors from Alienware and MSI all performed at a fairly similar level as the Ryzen 7. The AMD processor in the Lenovo Legion 5 Pro benefits considerably from applications with a large number of threads, so that it often ends up at the top of the comparison field in multi-threading applications.

System Performance

The benchmarks with PCMark 10 show some smaller weaknesses in performance compared to the competitors. In terms of the points in the separate Essentials and Productivity test sections, the Lenovo laptop ends up significantly behind in the comparison field. Only in the Digital Content Creation section, the gaming laptop places a safe second. Our search for the bottleneck reveals some apparent weaknesses of the built-in SSD. The Essentials and Productivity sections test for fast storage access.

However, these small weaknesses aren't really noticeable. While the number of points achieved are very good values, they are unfortunately slightly below those of the comparison devices. In everyday operation, this will at most result in some disadvantages in the load times, but those can be expressed in fractions of seconds.

Storage Solution

The SSD from Western Digital that Lenovo used in the test unit is a bit slow for a gaming laptop. The benchmarks with AS SSD and CrystalDiskMark show some slight shortcomings in the access times and the data transfer of many small files. Even though the storage solution is not a bad SSD in general, there is some room for improvement here.

You can find additional information and benchmarks in our hard drive and SSD table.

Graphics Card

Vantage application with many adjustment options for the system performance
Vantage application with many adjustment options for the system performance

This laptop version of the Nvidia GeForce RTX 3070 offers 5,120 shader units. With 8 GB of DDR6 working memory, the dedicated graphics card of the Lenovo laptop is basically well equipped. However, current games can even use this generous amount of storage to capacity. The Legion 5 Pro provides the graphics card with up to 140 watts. At around 75 °C (167 °F), the Nvidia chip remains relatively cool. The AMD Radeon chip of the Ryzen 7 is deactivated in the state of delivery. Via the Lenovo Vantage application, you can activate the hybrid mode where both graphics chips are running. This will bring some advantages and disadvantages. In hybrid mode, the AMD Radeon graphics is supplied with up to 4 GB of the 32 GB working memory. This causes the system performance to drop slightly. On the other hand, the power consumption of the Lenovo gaming laptop will also drop, since the Nvidia chip can be deactivated during times of low demands on the graphics. This will cause the battery to last longer.

In battery mode, the laptop consumes up to 90 watts. With this, neither the graphics card nor the CPU are able to develop their full performance. In our test with "The Witcher 3" at highest graphics settings and in 1920p resolution, the performance dropped from 90 to about 50 fps in battery operation. In other games whose demands on the graphics card are more intense, you'd probably have to adjust the quality settings to get a smooth gaming experience.

Gaming Performance

The Lenovo Legion 5 Pro was able to convince in all the benchmarks. In the demanding Cyberpunk 2077, the frame rate was at a playable 45 fps even in the highest quality settings. The device was fun to play in practice. The bright and responsive display is complemented well by the powerful hardware. The 2560p resolution seems to be the optimum selection for the performance capabilities of the Nvidia graphics card. 

The comparison with the competitors shows that the performance range of the current gaming laptops is very narrow. None of the devices was able to show a really large performance advantage. The top positions changed depending on the game.

After a smaller drop in the frame rate in the beginning of our 60-minute constant load test with "The Witcher 3," the performance of the graphics card and processor remained constant at a high level for the complete rest of the test. However, we need to mention that we mostly test very new devices, and that the fan curves often still adjust to the test conditions.

Emissions - The speakers are louder than the fans

The performance of the Lenovo Legion 5 Pro can be adjusted in three different levels, which also have a direct impact on the noise level of the laptop fans. The performance level can be adjusted using the [Fn]+[Q] key combination. The color of the power LED in the on/off switch indicates the selected performance setting. In quiet mode, the two fans of the laptop are only rarely turned on and if they are, they run quietly, so that the noise doesn't appear annoying.

During higher system load in the two other modes, the fans become noticeably louder. At a full 50 dB(A), their noise level can already become annoying, so during long gaming sessions, good head phones with at least some passive noise cancelling would be appropriate.

After we unpacked the laptop, we also noticed some high-frequency noise coming from the power supply. However, this disappeared after several hours of operation.

Temperatures

One of the two cooling elements of the Lenovo Legion 5 Pro
One of the two cooling elements of the Lenovo Legion 5 Pro

The large cooling elements dissipate most of the heat from the case of the Lenovo gaming laptop. While the surfaces of the palm rests and keyboard become warm during longer periods of load, they never get uncomfortably hot. The insulating properties of the plastic used here provide some additional comfort. During our test, we only saw a smaller hotspot in the area around the Enter key, but the W, A, S, and D keys always remained within a comfortable temperature range across all of our tests.

The system performance remained stable even after longer load on the system by Prime95 and Furmark. The processor temperatures exceeded the 99-°C (210 °F) limit to thermal throttling only once toward the beginning of the test, since the fans responded slightly too late by revving up to full performance. Afterwards, the processor temperatures remained constant at around 90 °C (194 °F) for almost two hours, and the temperatures of the Nvidia graphics chip remained at around 65 °C (149 °F). The four cooling elements and fans are more than sufficient to keep the operating temperatures at a low level.

The small speakers of the gaming laptop produced a better than expected sound. The whole audible spectrum is reproduced well by the laptop. The sound quality is sufficient at least for YouTube videos and video calls. For a more intense experience, you can also connect external speakers or headphones via the 3.5-mm audio port or Bluetooth.

Battery Life

The battery is able to deliver a maximum of 90 watts in the stress test

The battery test showed that it is worthwhile to activate the hybrid mode in the Lenovo Vantage application. In this way, we noticed quite a significant increase in the battery life in idle operation and our WiFi websurfing test. As already mentioned, even though this mode can have a detrimental effect on the system performance, if you depend on a longer battery life, this mode makes a lot of sense. While there was no significant change in the battery life under full load, the battery life more than doubled in idle operation and in the WiFi websurfing test after we turned on the hybrid mode.

The Lenovo Legion 5 Pro 16, test unit provided by Lenovo
The Lenovo Legion 5 Pro 16, test unit provided by Lenovo

Overall, the Lenovo Legion 5 Pro is a solid gaming laptop that will probably allow you to play all the current games at high graphics settings. There are no larger reasons for complaint to report for the gaming laptop. However, the laptop also wasn't able to move significantly ahead of the competitors in any of the many tests. Regardless of this, Lenovo has delivered a more than satisfactory device that should also be futureproof for several years. Thanks to the easy access to the modules that are not soldered in, such as the storage solution, working memory, and WLAN module, the system can also be upgraded at a later time. 

While the Lenovo Legion 5 Pro is no Ark Reactor, it still is a solid piece of technology. 

Lenovo's typical design is a matter of taste, but the amount of connections offered by the laptop is more than sufficient. The many USB connections also allow the laptop to the expanded easily. The robust case should contribute to the longevity of the computer. In connection with the Ryzen 7, the Nvidia GeForce 3070 delivers a very good performance in all the games we tested, also handling raytracing easily. All the components used are matched well with each other in terms of their performance capabilities.

Price and Availability

The Lenovo Legion 5 Pro is available in the US from Lenovo starting from $1300. The prebuilt configuration with a Ryzen 5800H, 32 GB DDR-4 RAM, Nvidia GeForce RTX 3070, 1 TB SSD, and Windows 10 Home costs $1900. Walmart also offers a configuration for $1530.
