Spoiler alert: In many ways, this is even better than I was expected based on all the hype & my past experience with Legion products, but it’s not without issues.
My configuration is the Ryzen 7 4800H processor with 16 GB of dual-channel DDR4 3200 MHz RAM, 512 GB of SSD storage, & the Nvidia GTX 1650Ti graphics chip. Unfortunately, that’s the most powerful GPU option available for this máy tính xách tay right now, and also its major bottleneông chồng when it comes to lớn GPU heavy loads và games.
My unit also gets a 60 Hz 300-nits panel with 100% sRGB coverage, the RGB keyboard, và the 80 Wh battery, and all these for a total of a little under 1000 EUR over here. That’s a good khuyễn mãi giảm giá and what convinced me khổng lồ go with it in the first place, however, the Legion 5 goes for significantly more in other regions, at least for now.

Update: In the meantime, Lenovo updated this laptop, và our Review of the 2021 Lenovo Legion 5 is available here.
Design and build
The Legion 5 is entirely built out of plastic, & it hasn’t changed much in terms of kiến thiết language from the previous Legion Y540 generation.
Aesthetically, this is a dark gray máy tính without any gaming accents or RGB lights. Lenovo went a bit heavy on the stickers and branding though, with LEGION branded on the lid & under the screen, LENOVO plaques on the lid và on the arm-rest, as well as audio by Harman writing under the keyboard, at the left. As for the multitude of stickers, you can easily peel those off.
