Our Legion 5 Pro test system will be available at Walmart at the end of June for $1,529.99.
Most are located on the back edge and helpfully and clearly labeled: an HDMI video output, three USB Type-A ports, one USB-C port (with power delivery and DisplayPort support but no Thunderbolt capability), an Ethernet jack, and the power connector. The Legion 5 Pro features a useful and thoughtfully arranged collection of ports. They do get impressively loud at max volume, but the sound is muddy with the lack of bass response typical to almost all laptops. Given the Legion's bulk, I harbored some hope that its speakers would surprise me with dynamic output. It may not be as reassuring as a physical cover, but it should do the job nonetheless. Lenovo placed a 720p webcam above the display, but it lacks a sliding privacy shutter-you can, however, flick a switch on the right edge to cut power to the camera to ensure your privacy. Thin bezels frame the display on all four sides, creating a modern look despite the system's bulky chassis. Colors in games and photos look vivid, and Nvidia's G-Sync technology matches the screen's refresh rate with GPU output for gameplay without tearing or stuttering. Its image is crisp, bright, and fast with 2,560-by-1,600-pixel resolution, a brightness rating of 500 nits, and a 165Hz refresh rate. The display offers other benefits beside a bit less scrolling. If you're more about speed and value than an elegant, complete package, it could be a better choice than our current top gaming laptop picks of similar size, the Alienware m15 R4 and the Acer Predator Helios 300 (2021). The Lenovo teams an AMD Ryzen 7 5800H processor with Nvidia GeForce RTX 3070 graphics, and off to the races it goes-it outclasses its Intel competition in multithreaded benchmarks and is also a step ahead of the Alienware m15 Ryzen Edition R5, which features the same CPU and GPU pairing.
It's built around an expansive 16-inch QHD (2,560-by-1,600-pixel) display with a 16:10 aspect ratio, which sits between more popular 15.6- and 17.3-inch panels with 16:9 ratios. Given the power it possesses, however, you might not care that the Legion's more than an inch thick and that its design is a bit drab. Lenovo's Legion 5 Pro ($1,529.99 as tested) delivers the latest AMD and Nvidia technology in a chassis that's a bit of a throwback to the bulky gaming laptop days of yore.
