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.

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.

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.
