Lenovo Legion 5 Pro (2021) Review-Hands on impressions and Benchmark By Ahadu the one

Ce's 2021 is virtual this year, but there is one laptop. We got the chance to go hands-on with during the show the Lenovo legion 5 pro an esports laptop, featuring next-gen silicon from AMD and the latest RTX GPUs. Many consider the 2020 Lenovo legion 5, the best value gaming laptop of its generation, especially in the AMD Ryzen variants with higher tier graphics. However, those configurations were not available worldwide and only topped a g460 mid-level graphics, which did not suffice for some potential buyers. That's changing with the 2021 Lenovo legion 5 updates and especially the brand-new legion 5 pro a beefier iteration with more powerful specs and a quad fan thermal design to match them. This article down below gathers our early thoughts on these updated legion five lineups and is a work in progress as we're filling up the blanks.

In a few words, the 2021 legion 5 series is mostly a hardware update of the 2020 generation bumped to AMD Ryzen, 5000 hardware and NVIDIA RTX 3000 graphics. The legion 5 pro, on the other hand, is different in a couple of ways subscribe our channel and watch up to the end. We will explain everything you want to know about this technology. Lenovo went with a slightly more gaming oriented design that reminds of the previous y series of laptops from 2018 with a backlit legion logo on the lid opted for a 16 inch, HD 165 hertz display a thicker chassis and a different internal design meant to accommodate higher tier specs. Aside from the hardware update, these 2021 models get a slight change in I o and several screen options.

All FHD 16 colon 9, just as before Lenovo did change the color options with these 20 21 models now available in either phantom blue or stingray white back to those specs Lenovo only announced AMD based models for now, but I'd reckon intel. Variants will also be available later on either with comet lake h or once the tiger lake h chips become available around spring 2021. As far as the GPU options go, we're still waiting for confirmation, but I'd expect the standard legion 5 updates, RTX, 3071 15-130w configurations of the legion 5 have been listed in several regions. Even higher power, RTX 3060 to 30 70 125 to 140, w graphics will make it into the legion 5 pro models, as suggested by the fact that they ship with a 240 to 300 w power brick by default. The five pro is also slightly thicker and gets a quad fan thermal design paired with Lenovo's new legion AI engine, an AI optimized software suite that dynamically juggles the CPU and GPU power settings.

In order to improve the performance in AAA games. This software package will be available across the entire 2021 legion. Lineup gigabyte have been using similar AI features in their laptops, not to the greatest success, though, and I wonder what Lenovo were able to achieve here with their much heftier r d budget. The official literature also mentions g-sync support for the five pro, but take this with a grain of salt until further clarified. Specs aside, unlike the standard legion 5, the 5 pro gets the 2021 novelty 16 inch display with HD 2560x 1600 PX resolution, 1610 aspect ratios, 165, hertz, refresh rate and 3 milliseconds response, as well as 500 nits of brightness HDR 400 support and 100 RGB color coverage.

This is also offered on Lenovo's top tier 2021 legion 7 series as a side benefit. The 5 pro now looks a lot more modern with thinner bezels and a much smaller chin, there's still enough room for a camera at the top with a privacy shutter cover, while the press release doesn't specifically cover this aspect. I'd reckon the five pro is still a plastic, build Lenovo, keeping the higher quality construction exclusive for the legion 7 lineups, which also gets RGB light bars. I'd also reckon the inputs haven't changed from the standard legion 5 models, with the full-size keyboard available with different kinds of illumination white, blue or four zone RGB, but the pro has received a more spacious click pad. The o is mostly lined on the rear of the five pro like on all the other legion models.

There's everything you'll need here, except for thunderbolt support or a card reader. In fact, you'll only get a card reader on the 17-inch legion 5, but not on any other 2021 legion. As a side note, the specs hint that USB-C charging is now supported by both the legion 5 and 5 pro lineups, unlike with the 2020 generations, all in all, I'm confident both the 2021. Lenovo legion 5 and the legion 5 pro are going to top the charts in their classes, but I'm looking forward to properly test them and share our findings with you. Both are expected in stores around March 2021, with the legion 5 starting at 769 dollars in the US, and the legion 5 pro starting at 999.

I'd like to hear your thoughts on them in the meantime, especially on the 5 pro watch. Another helpful video on the screen see you on the next video brought to you by Lenora.
