87.9% Lenovo Legion Pro 5 16IRX8 laptop review: A hefty US$1600 for the GeForce RTX 4060 | Notebookcheck
The Legion Pro 5 series is home to Lenovo's midrange gaming laptops, but our expectations are nonetheless high considering the lofty starting price of over $1400 USD for just the RTX 4050. The model impresses on most fronts so long as you can live with some notable drawbacks.

Lenovo Legion Pro 5 (16″, 2023) review – could not be compromised as hard as they tried
Source: Laptop Media English
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.

88.4% Ryzen 7 7745HX performance debut: Lenovo Legion Pro 5 16 Gen 8 laptop review | Notebookcheck
The flagship Ryzen 9 7945HX may be impressive, but what about the lesser Ryzen 7 7745HX? Zen 4 scales down pretty well to be both competitive and cheaper against the 13th gen Intel Core i7-13700HX.

 

Comment

Lenovo: Lenovo ( "Le" as in the English word legend and "novo" (Latin) for new) was founded in 1984 as a Chinese computer trading company. From 2004, the company has been the largest laptop manufacturer in China and got the fourth largest manufacturer worldwide after the acquisition of IBM's PC division in 2005. In addition to desktops and notebooks, the company also produces monitors, projectors, servers, etc.

In 2011, Lenovo acquired the majority of Medion AG, a European computer hardware manufacturer. In 2014, Lenovo took over Motorola Mobility, which gave them a boost in the smartphone market.

From 2014 to 2016 Lenovo's market share in the global notebook market was 20-21%, ranking second behind HP. However, the distance decreased gradually. In the smartphone market, Lenovo did not belong to the Top 5 global manufacturers in 2016.
