Reviews for the Lenovo Legion 5 Pro 16IAH7H-82RF000VGE
Source: Laptop Mag
2022 has been a fantastic year for gaming laptops, and the Lenovo Legion 5i Pro is up there as one of the best. For its price, you’re getting a power-packed system in a sleek chassis with decent battery life, excellent thermal performance and plenty of ports for all your gaming needs. That’s not to say it’s perfect: the webcam is pretty pants (though we’ve come to expect that from gaming laptops), there are no biometric security options, and the SSD is a little slower than its competition. But while others brought interesting innovations to the table, such as the convertible nature of the Asus ROG Flow X16, Lenovo stuck to its guns and just gave us a damn good gaming laptop.

The all-aluminum body is also thick and heavy, even for a 16-inch gaming laptop, at just over one inch thick and 5.5 pounds. I've been traveling with it in my backpack, and constantly packing and unpacking it whenever I need to use it has already started to cause a tiny bit of wear on one of the corners. This is a beast of a machine, but I wish it had more of a premium look and feel, especially in the webcam and touchpad. That said, especially at the current discounted price, it represents an excellent value, and if you get one with upgraded internal storage, that will make it much easier to use as a full-time gaming machine.

There are a couple of aspects here that left me wanting more, however. The paltry 16 GB of ram and a rather meager 512 GB of storage meant I spent a fair bit of time swapping data on the drive as I ran through the test suite; Borderlands 3 and SPECviewperf easily take up half that space. Fortunately there is an open M.2 slot for additional storage, and that just makes me want to find a drive to add to my testing toolkit. I don't think you should typically look to immediately spend more money when you buy a laptop, yet here I was. Speaking of price, I had spent some time looking for this specific model on the Lenovo website and could not find it, although I did manage to find a similar model priced at just under $2000 USD. That's significant value, hard to ignore, and makes the small RAM and drive sizes that much easier to swallow. Yet I'd still be looking for upgrades, and the end user may do so too. This class of laptop deserves 32 GB of RAM with a 1 TB SDD, and a sub-$2500 price tag, I think you can get yourself exactly that.

With all of that said, I can highly recommend this generation’s Legion 5i Pro for users who to invest in a laptop but also want to be confident that their unit lasts throughout that period. This should apply for those of you easing back into office work and need a modern system to keep up with that pandemic gaming PC you may have built over the past 2 years. Or you may be a student that want something that could last with you thru college and maybe get beat-up a bit. This is where Lenovo’s value proposition shines in that even non-tech savvy individuals can enjoy their laptop to its maximum gaming potential while being protected by an industry-leading, comprehensive support system that is yet to be matched to this day. The Legion 5i Pro 2022 starts at Php119,995 for the Intel Core i7-12700H+RTX 3060 model and is available now with the RTX 3070 Ti configurations available later this month or early next month. The model we’re reviewing today with an Intel Core i7-12700H with 16GB of DDR5 memory and an RTX 3070 Ti will have an SRP of Php139,995.

I highly recommend content creators check the Lenovo Legion 5i Pro out. It is a more than capable gaming machine, making it an outstanding content creation machine. Plus, you do have the option to upgrade the system in the future. I don’t think content creators can go wrong with the Lenovo Legion 5i Pro.

Obviously, the Lenovo Legion 5i Pro isn’t for everyone. If it was, it would be the only product that Lenovo makes. If you’re looking for a creator laptop, there are much better options. I’d say to go with something that has an OLED display, and then has similar internals to the Legion 5i Pro. And if you’re looking for enthusiast-level gaming, check out the Legion 7i.

The Lenovo Legion 5i Pro Gen 7 isn't the very fastest gaming laptop you can buy, but it's extremely fast and fairly priced. Moreover, it's a stylish and well-built pick for productivity and creative work when not playing games, with an appealing screen and keyboard and all the connectivity you could want. A configuration with 1TB or 2TB of storage rather than our test unit's 512GB might have scored an Editors' Choice award. Even without one, this Legion shows why 16-inch gaming rigs are putting the hurt on traditional 15.6-inch models.

The Lenovo Legion 5i Pro is a performer, keeping up with laptops sporting faster CPUs and GPUs. It’s a solid 1440p gaming machine that can also handle demanding productivity and creativity tasks. Given its conservative (if somewhat jumbled) aesthetic, you could use the laptop in the workplace without standing out. At $2,000, it’s also a relative value given its powerful components, too.

Lenovo Legion 5i Pro Gen 7
Lenovo Legion 5i Pro Gen 7 is Lenovo’s 16-inch gaming laptop that features a faster Intel Alder Lake processor and a GeForce RTX 3070 Ti to provide enough gaming performance for native WQHD resolutions. The main focus of the update is on performance, because in addition to Intel's new Alder Lake processors, users get the GeForce RTX 3070 Ti including Advanced Optimus (Dynamic MUX). Users also get Thunderbolt 4 support along with a fast PCIe 4.0 solid-state drive. As for design, thanks to the 16:10 aspect ratio screen, the bezels are very slim and the design looks very modern. The webcam uses a 720p sensor, and even in good lighting, the picture quality is still average. There's no mechanical shutter, but there's an E-Shutter with a button on the right. The keyboard still offers a generous 1.5mm of travel and a very comfortable typing experience, so users can easily use the Legion for longer texts. The large click pad works well in everyday situations, and gestures with up to four fingers are executed very well.
For display, the basic specs of the 16-inch display is a 2560 x 1600 pixels, 16:10, IPS, HDR 400, and a high refresh rate of 165 Hz. Thanks to advanced optimizations, the system now supports both switchable graphics and G-Sync. It can still display well with crisp colors and good contrast. Despite the matte finish, the picture doesn't look grainy. Lenovo uses the new Intel Core i7-12700H from the Alder Lake generation, which uses a hybrid architecture with 6 performance cores (up to 4.8GHz including hyperthreading) and 8 efficiency cores (up to 3.7GHz). It is paired with a 1TB solid-state drive and 16GB RAM. Lenovo uses a 125W version of the 3070 Ti with 8GB of GDDR6-VRAM. As for the operating system, this laptop comes with Windows 11. Gaming performance on the Legion 5i Pro 16 is excellent, and this gaming notebook can easily handle all modern games at native QHD resolution.
Two stereo speakers (2W each) are located in the front area of the base, directing the sound towards the bottom. Lenovo has installed the Nahimic app that offers several profiles, which definitely improves the sound. Battery runtime is slightly lacking, but it is expected for a gaming laptop that has an 80-watt-hour battery. In conclusion, the Lenovo Legion 5i Pro Gen 7 has been significantly improved with great gaming performance and combination with a good display. The 165 Hz panel makes a good impression and is definitely a good choice for a gaming notebook. Therefore it is a good choice for gamers who are looking for a high performance laptop to game on the go.

15-inch display variants are the standard and are used for more than half of all laptops.
The reason for the popularity of mid-sized displays is that this size is reasonably easy on the eyes, often allows high resolutions and thus offers rich details on the screen, yet does not consume too much power and the devices can still be reasonably compact - simply the standard compromise.
