AI Gaming Geforce Intel Laptop Thunderbolt

We have already tested one of the better configurations featuring a Core i9 14900HX CPU and a 140-watt GeForce RTX 4070. However, lots of gamers will likely go for the more affordable configuration with an i7 14700HX and an RTX 4060 which we are taking a look at today. This model may also put some of the "big" model's weak points into perspective, such as its high surface temperatures and noisy cooling system.

Aside from its big brother and the non-pro Legion 5, we will be comparing the Legion Pro 5 with other RTX 4060 gamers like the Dell G16, HP Victus 16 and the XMG Core 15.

Input devices - Renowned Legion quality

Not mentioned in our first test of the Legion Pro 5i: Its refresh rate can be changed between three steps (240, 165 and 60 Hz) using the Fn + R key combination.

Display - A Legion Pro for content creators too

Lenovo has installed a matte IPS display with 2,560 x 1,600 pixels into this laptop. However, there are three display variants on offer, all with the same resolution. The entry-level model is supposed to cover sRGB, has a refresh rate of 165 Hz and a brightness of 300 nits. The other two models have a brightness of 500 nits and a refresh rate of 240 Hz, one of which also supports DCI-P3. Our test model has one of the 500 nits displays with a 240 Hz refresh rate.

We measured an average brightness of 491 nits and its illumination of 90 per cent is good. However, its black level could be a little better, but its contrast is fine.

We noted 150 nits at a brightness of around 58 per cent. It doesn't use PWM, so screen bleeding is not a problem and its response times are quite fast for an IPS panel.

* ... smaller is better

Both sRGB and Display P3 are nearly completely covered, and AdobeRGB is covered by almost 88 per cent.

Straight out of the box, the screen isn't calibrated totally optimally. Our own calibration using the X-Rite i1Pro color measurement device and the Calman software pushed its grayscale and color DeltaE values to below 1.

Display Response Times

ℹ

Display response times show how fast the screen is able to change from one color to the next. Slow response times can lead to afterimages and can cause moving objects to appear blurry (ghosting). Gamers of fast-paced 3D titles should pay special attention to fast response times.

↔ Response Time Black to White
9.2 ms ... rise ↗ and fall ↘ combined	↗ 4.6 ms rise
9.2 ms ... rise ↗ and fall ↘ combined	↘ 4.6 ms fall
The screen shows fast response rates in our tests and should be suited for gaming. In comparison, all tested devices range from 0.1 (minimum) to 240 (maximum) ms. » 23 % of all devices are better. This means that the measured response time is better than the average of all tested devices (20.6 ms).
↔ Response Time 50% Grey to 80% Grey
4.8 ms ... rise ↗ and fall ↘ combined	↗ 2.2 ms rise
4.8 ms ... rise ↗ and fall ↘ combined	↘ 2.6 ms fall
The screen shows very fast response rates in our tests and should be very well suited for fast-paced gaming. In comparison, all tested devices range from 0.165 (minimum) to 636 (maximum) ms. » 14 % of all devices are better. This means that the measured response time is better than the average of all tested devices (32.3 ms).

Screen Flickering / PWM (Pulse-Width Modulation)

ℹ

To dim the screen, some notebooks will simply cycle the backlight on and off in rapid succession - a method called Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) . This cycling frequency should ideally be undetectable to the human eye. If said frequency is too low, users with sensitive eyes may experience strain or headaches or even notice the flickering altogether.

Screen flickering / PWM not detected

In comparison: 53 % of all tested devices do not use PWM to dim the display. If PWM was detected, an average of 8426 (minimum: 5 - maximum: 343500) Hz was measured.

As the screen is quite bright at almost 500 nits and also features a matte surface, most reflections are mitigated and you can use the laptop well outside, as long as you look directly at it and avoid direct sunlight.

Performance - The Pro 5i's great CPU and gaming performance

In contrast to the Legion Pro 5i with the high-end components i9 14900HX and RTX 4070 which we already tested, the current test device is fitted with an i7 14700HX and an RTX 4060. This means the laptop is classed as a mid-range gamer.

Thanks to its relatively color-accurate, bright display, the Legion will likely also be of interest to quite a few creators—although its design could just do with being a little more subtle.

Testing conditions

The Lenovo Vantage software acts as a control center inside the Legion Pro 5i. In addition to the performance profiles, various other settings can be found here—from keyboard lighting and power supply to the MUX switch and system updates.

There are three preset performance profiles to choose from (performance, balanced, quiet)—an AI engine can also be added in balanced mode and there is another customized mode in which various parameters can be set manually.

We used the performance mode without GPU overclocking for our benchmarks. Quiet mode was used for our battery tests. Occasionally, we have additionally provided measured values for the other performance modes.

Processor

The Intel Core i7-14700HX is a high-end CPU based on the new Raptor Lake HX Refresh series. The CPU contains 8 P and 12 E cores and can process a total of 28 threads at once thanks to hyperthreading.

In our loop test, the CPU performed very consistently and with only minimal performance loss over the 30 minutes. It outperformed most of the competitors—only the Legion Pro 5i with the i9-14900HX did slightly better.

Across all benchmarks, however, it became clear that our Legion Pro 5i's processor performs impressively well. It came in 9 per cent above the average i7-14700HX from our database and only 5 per cent behind the i9-14900HX.

Disconnected from the mains, around 44 per cent of the CPU's performance was lost when running Cinebench R15 Multi. The table below shows its Cinebench R15 Multi scores and TDPs depending on the performance profile, with the corresponding TDP curves in the respective mode on the right.

Performance mode/measurement value	Cinebench R 15 Multi score	TDP
Performance	4137	190 - 130

System performance

In PCMark 10, our Legion Pro was only slightly weaker when it came to productivity, but otherwise it always took second place directly behind the better-equipped Legion Pro.

In CrossMark, its results were again particularly good and our test model even managed to beat the "better" version of itself.

DPC latencies

The first, smaller latencies already occurred when opening the browser. The delay value increased again ever so slightly when opening several tabs on our website. However, our 4K/60fps YouTube video was played without any problems or any dropped frames. Its internal GPU load was very high at 78 per cent.

Storage device

Lenovo has installed a fast PCIe 4 NVMe SSD from Samsung with 1 TB of storage into our model—more precisely an OEM version of the well-known 980 Pro. The model ranks 14th in our SSD best list and is therefore one of the fastest storage devices in the comparison field.

During our benchmarks, it achieved good values overall, but just like the SSDs in the other Legion (Pro) 5 models, it wasn't able to maintain its performance over a longer period of time and was thermally throttled. It's a shame that Lenovo hasn't equipped the laptop with a better cooling system and that the entire series seems to be affected by this issue.

Graphics card

Our configuration is equipped with an Nvidia Geforce RTX 4060 at 140 watts.

During the synthetic 3DMark tests, the GPU performed slightly above average, but the same RTX 4060 was slightly faster in the Legion 5 without the Pro suffix. The Legion Pro 5 with the RTX 4070 and i9-14900HX was around 20 per cent faster in these tests.

In battery mode, its 3D performance decreased by 23 per cent when running Fire Strike once more.

* ... smaller is better

When it comes to gaming, the Legion Pro 5 outperforms the entire competition featuring an RTX 4060—in particular the Victus with the same CPU and GPU which came in last place, scoring 15 points fewer. The RTX-4070 Legion Pro only came 10 points ahead.

Ultimately, all the games we tested can be played in Full HD with maximum details; in QHD, the frame rate may sometimes slip below 60 fps when running demanding games but even then, they still run smoothly.

Our continuous test running Cyberpunk 2077 revealed a very constant frame rate without any major drops. The GPU clocked constantly at 2,610 MHz and heated up to 75 to 79 °C. Its power consumption was around 100 watts.

Emissions & power: Left gaming side of the Lenovo gets hotter than the right

Noise emissions

In performance mode, the fans are mostly active and this is often also the case in idle mode—they then spin at a quiet 25 to 26 dB. In our medium load scenario via 3DMark06, they already reached up to 45 dB, but the competition is similarly loud.

Under higher loads, the fan's noise emissions fluctuate and don't remain constant. The data in the table shows its maximum values. For example, its emissions fluctuated between 47.5 dB and 52.69 dB when playing Cyberpunk.

Temperature

The Legion already gets quite warm when idling—we measured up to 39 °C on the bottom of the device. In general, the left side with the WASD keys (which are important for gamers) seems to heat up more than the right side.

Under heavy load, we measured a hot spot of 57 °C on the bottom. The Dell G16 and the Core 15 got similarly hot, while the other competitors tended to stay cooler.

Speakers

The speakers don't stand out positively from the competition: they are only moderately loud and we noted hardly any bass at all. A standard headphone jack is available for connecting analogue devices.

Power consumption

It isn't the easiest to measure the Legion Pro 5's true idle consumption because the laptop draws around 50 watts from the socket almost continuously—even when idle! If you wait a very long time, its idle consumption finally levels out to comparatively normal values (15 to 20 watts), but as soon as you just change the laptop's brightness with the F key, its consumption goes back up to 50 watts and stays there for an unusually long time. The idle values given in the table are therefore rather optimistically low.

Under heavy load, its consumption and the GPU's performance fluctuate quite strongly, as you can see from our consumption graphs—especially when the CPU and GPU are equally stressed, like in our stress test.

We measured an average consumption of 229 watts when running Cyberpunk 2077. In the stress test, our measuring device registered a maximum and only short-term consumption of up to 297 watts, which the flat but rather large 300-watt power supply should be able to cope with.

Speaking of power supply units: The 300-watt power supply delivered with our Legion Pro 5i is considerably larger than the 330-watt power supply unit of the more expensive Legion 9i.

The 330-watt power supply that comes with the Legion 9 is smaller

Runtimes

Lenovo has installed an 80-Wh battery into the laptop; apart from the Core 15 with a larger battery, the competition uses models with a similar capacity.

Our test device lasted just over 5 hours in the Wi-Fi and video tests with the brightness reduced to 150 nits—an average to slightly below-average value that was often surpassed by the competition.

Pros

+ large arrow keys

+ bright display with DCI-P3 coverage and good color accuracy

+ above-average i7-14700HX performance

+ above-average RTX-4060 performance

Cons

- big and heavy for a 16-inch device

- SSD is thermally throttled

- 300-watt power supply is larger than the Legion 9's 330-watt unit

- the WASD side gets warmer than the right side

- high idle consumption at times

Verdict - Full focus on performance

The Legion Pro 5 focuses solely on performance. Its already powerful i7-14700HX and its RTX 4060 work faster than average and purely in terms of performance, they even come close to the configuration with the i9-14900HX and the RTX 4070. Thanks to the laptop's potentially extremely colour-accurate display, the Legion Pro could also be interesting for content creators.

In turn, it's a shame that the screen isn't calibrated terribly accurately straight out of the box. Considering its focus on gaming performance, the manufacturer should have noticed that the cooling system works a little better on the right side than on the WASD side, which is important for gamers. Other negative points include the SSD's thermal throttling as well as the device's partial high idle performance that takes quite a while to calm down again. Still, the positives outweigh the negatives in total.

If you are on the hunt for a super powerful gaming laptop, then look no further than the Lenovo Legion Pro 5i. Content creators may also be happy, however, a few smaller details leave more room for potential optimisation.

Price and availability

You can order the Lenovo Legion Pro 5i directly from the manufacturer. The MRSP for our test device is US$1,395.

A C64 marked my entry into the world of PCs. I spent my student internship in the repair department of a computer shop and at the end of the day I was allowed to assemble my own 486 PC from “workshop remnants”. As a result of this, I later studied computer science at the Humboldt University in Berlin, with psychology also being added to my studies. After my first job as a research assistant at the university, I went to London for a year and worked for Sega in computer game translation quality assurance. This included working on games such as Sonic & All-Stars Racing Transformed and Company of Heroes. I have been writing for Notebookcheck since 2017.

Originally from Scotland, I grew up and lived in Germany until I completed my high school qualifications before moving back to Scotland to complete my university studies. Growing up bilingual led me to form a close relationship with the English and German languages, often working in the fields of teaching and translation. Most of my childhood was shaped by playing around on new consoles, computers and gadgets and getting to grips with the new craze of the internet and smartphones. This interest has stayed with me well into adulthood. Nowadays, I live in Glasgow and work as a freelance translator and digital media coordinator. I have been translating for Notebookcheck since early 2023.
