Reviews for the Lenovo Legion Pro 5 16IRX9, i7-14700HX
Source: Laptop Media
There is no doubt that the Lenovo Legion Pro 5i (16″, Gen 9) is a capable gaming machine. Compared to the non-Pro sibling, the device in front of us offers a heftier thermal system with additional metal shrouds for cooling the SSDs and even the base CPU option is a 14th Gen Intel HX chip. The cooling is potent and that’s why the processor can show very high clocks in long 100% loads. The optional GeForce RTX 4070 (Laptop) can sustain stable 2535 MHz and 130W TGP after half an hour of gaming. At the same time, the two fans aren’t as loud as a jet fighter. In addition to the great performance, the default 1600p display (BOE NE160QDM-NYC (BOE0B38)) is also good. It’s PWM-free and has a 165Hz refresh rate alongside pretty snappy pixel response times for an IPS unit.

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.
» To find out how fine a display is, see our DPI List.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.
74%: This rating is poor. More than three quarters of the models are rated better. That is rather not a purchase recommendation. Even if verbal ratings in this area do not sound that bad ("sufficient" or "satisfactory"), they are usually euphemisms that disguise a classification as a below-average laptop.
