Lenovo Legion Pro 5 (16″, 2023) review – could not be compromised as hard as they tried
Source: Laptop Media
Although it keeps the main concept, the Legion Pro 5 (16″, 2023) actually looks a bit different from last year. In order to keep the price down, the manufacturer has swapped the metal on the base with plastic. However, this doesn’t terribly impact the build quality. What it does, however, is free up some budget for an adequate cooling solution. And boy, does Lenovo deliver on this. Both the CPU and the GPU hover at about 75°C during gaming and heavy computational loads. There is not an abundance of heat pipes, but instead, we find them placed in a strategic manner. This makes sure that the VRMs and the graphics memory will also be cooled down – something that definitely boosts longevity. Of course, the overall mass of the copper inside the product is high. Still, the device is fairly portable as it weighs only 2.55 kg. Gaming on this product is absolutely lovely. The keyboard makes your experience even better with its long key travel and clicky feedback. We are aware that almost no one uses their touchpad for gaming, but this one is pretty good for your daily tasks.

16.00":

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.

2.55 kg:

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

Lenovo: Lenovo ("Le" from English legend, novo (Latin) for new) was founded in 1984 as a Chinese computer trading company. As of 2004, the company was the largest laptop manufacturer in China and, after acquiring IBM's PC division in 2005, the fourth largest in the world. In addition to desktops and notebooks, the company manufactures monitors, projectors, servers, etc, and specializes in developing, manufacturing and marketing consumer electronics, personal computers, software, enterprise solutions and related services.

In 2016, the company ranked first in the world in computer sales. It still held it in 2023 with about 23% global market share. Important product lines are Thinkpad, Legion and Ideapad.

In 2011, it acquired a majority stake in Medion AG, a European computer hardware manufacturer. In 2014, Motorola Mobility was purchased, which gave Lenovo a boost in the smartphone market.

80%: This rating is not earth-shattering. This rating must actually be seen as average, since there are about as many devices with worse ratings as better ones. A purchase recommendation can only be seen with a lot of goodwill, unless it is about websites that generally rate strictly.
