The Lenovo Legion Tab Gen 5 delivers flagship-level gaming performance with Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5, a 165 Hz IPS display, and practical extras such as dual USB-C ports.

+ Dual USB ports
+ Large 9000 mAh battery
+ Fast wired charging

Cons

- Noticeable heat buildup
- No 5G support

90% The Lenovo Legion Tab Gen 5 is a tablet to compete with MacBooks
Source: Mashable English
Lenovo has cornered the market on gaming tablets. The Legion Tab Gen 5, the brand's latest iteration, is the most powerful model yet with impressive processing speeds and extended battery life. If you don't need a gaming-specific tablet, I suggest going for the Lenovo Yoga Tab, which isn't nearly as powerful but comes at a more affordable price point.

At $699.99, it’s a little harder to swallow than the previous model that came in at well under $500. But the RAM crisis is still ongoing and this has unfortunately cause price increase on just about all consumer electronics. Especially when you consider the PC game emulation that you can connect to your Steam account for playing some of your PC games.
