Reviews for the Lenovo Legion 5 Pro 16IAH7H
With up to 120 W of constant CPU power consumption, the i7-12700H is even challenging the more expensive i9 CPUs. And with 16 GB of RAM, 2 TB of NVME storage and an unleashed RTX 3060, gamers and content-creators have all manner of performance reserves at their disposal. Does the 16-inch QHD display, and over-the-top connectivity deliver that convincing overall package? That’s what we aim to clarify here.

Lenovo’s Legion line of gaming laptops has been putting out bangers for years. Back in 2021, we reviewed the previous model of this laptop - the RTX 2060-equipped Lenovo Legion 5i - and were generally impressed by the solid performance and fair pricing. More recently, we awarded the Legion 5 Pro a rare 5-star review, again citing its excellent gaming capabilities and sensible price tag. We’re pleased to report that having spent some time with the most recent 2022 model of the Lenovo Legion 5i, it remains able to trade blows with the best gaming laptops and packs a punch despite its humble appearance. The model we tested came with an Intel Core i7-12700H CPU and an Nvidia GeForce RTX 3060 graphics card, which puts it pretty squarely in the mid-range space as far as gaming laptops go. There’s a variety of other models with different processors and GPUs, all of which look to offer a comparable price-to-performance ratio to our review unit.

The Lenovo Legion 5i Pro is fast in games and applications, it’s very sturdy, and it has an impressive display – it’s a great option if you need a mainstream gaming laptop. That said, it’s heavier and thicker than rivals and battery life could be better, so this isn’t the rig for you if you want something portable and long-lasting.

As aforementioned, the Lenovo Legion 5 Pro (2022) could start from RM8,299. That's a difference of RM1.5K from its predecessor's starting price! Assuming that's the real price tag, I believe most hardcore PC gamers would rather spend that money building their own gaming PCs. To be frank, the laptop's performance and price point are 'overkill' and you can get other 2022 gaming laptops at a lower price albeit with slightly lower specs.

The Legion 5i Pro is the closest you can get to a gaming laptop that can function as a desktop replacement in the Philippines. The 12th-gen Alder Lake-H processors offer a massive performance increase over the previous generation, though its massive size and abysmal battery life mean that the Legion 5i Pro is best used while plugged in.

The 2022 edition of the Lenovo Legion 5i Pro 16” gaming laptop hits Gen 7 with that still lovable 16” QHD+ 16:10 aspect ratio display, strong performance and a chill aluminum design that’s office-friendly. This is the Intel 12th gen version that brings Thunderbolt 4 and strong gaming performance, so don’t count it out vs the Ryzen version. It’s available with NVIDIA RTX 3050 Ti, 3060 and 3070 Ti GPUs, a Core i7 with 14 cores, Wi-Fi 6E, ample ports and a responsive keyboard. The 165Hz 2560 x 1600 display now supports VRR (variable refresh rate), and the laptop has a mux switch.

Last year, the Legion 5 Pro was my favorite mid-tier all-purpose laptop of its generation. This year, the Intel-based Legion 5i Pro has big shoes to fill, and offers a significant boost in CPU performance, a slight bump in GPU and combined performance, and a cleaner redesign, while keeping the series's other strong points, and at the same time not tackling its quirks. Are these changes enough to justify a higher price tag and shorter runtimes on battery vs. the 2021 models? Probably not, unless you truly need that powerful CPU for your workloads, and I'll explain why in the detailed review down below.

The crowning glory for this Lenovo Legion is the Vantage software and the Q Control function that allows you to switch power and cooling modes in an instant. This system works well as it is supported by the new Legion ColdFront 4.0 cooling system which allows the Core i7-12700H CPU to run at an impressive speed. While we were impressed by the Performance mode we found it was too noisy to be practical and recommend most users should stick with Auto mode which balances performance, cooling and noise levels very satisfactorily.

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.

With this weight, a laptop is rather heavier than average. Devices in this range shine more with screen size and performance than with mobility.
