One of the best gaming laptops Lenovo has ever released

The Legion 5 Pro is one of the best gaming laptops Lenovo has ever released. The taller 16-inch display with 165Hz refresh rate and blazing but stable performance on AC power are a grand combination. Just don't expect to fully enjoy the system on battery power.

For a $1k laptop, this Lenovo Legion 5 is excellent. We were looking for a laptop with a powerful CPU, a decent GPU for the occasional content creating, and a good and accurate screen. This one here checks all those boxes and has some great other features too.

Lenovo Legion 5 15 Review
pcverge.com
  • - 4.2
When it comes to performance as a rating factor, the Lenovo Legion 5 is right up there with most competitors – some costing much more – but it sells itself with a robust keyboard and display combo. This laptop is affordable, at least for midrange gaming laptops. Still, that money buys you an exceptionally comfortable ThinkPad style keyboard and a bright screen with a 1080p resolution.

A nearly perfect gaming laptop

  • - 5
The Lenovo Legion 5 Pro is hands down one of the best gaming laptops we've ever tested, showing that the Legion line can absolutely go toe-to-toe with its better known peers. Where it falls short of the very best, it still outperforms the rest in its class, and taken overall, its reasonable price makes it hard to find a better value.
