Review on Lenovo Legion 5 Pro Gen 6 AMD Gaming Laptop: 16.0-inch QHD IPS 165Hz, Ryzen 7 5800H, GeForce RTX 3070 8GB, TGP 140W, Windows 10 Home, 32GB RAM, 2TB PCIe SSD with Added Accessories by Adam Pietras ᠌

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Good quality product, the price is commensurate with the quality.

I've had it for a little over three months, and overall, it's just a terrific laptop. Prior to that, I had Legion 5, which turned out to be malfunctioning. The final Legion on the i7 10750h deeply disappointed me due to overheating and other significant flaws. I play games on this laptop and also use it for 3D modeling, video editing, sound recording, drawing, and Photoshop work. handles everything with aplomb. Ryzen 5 5600h, rtx3060 6 GB, 32 GB ddr4, and a 1 TB SSD make up my system. After three months of use, I can state with certainty that I have more than enough Ryzen 5 5600h. However, I would encourage you to get the rtx3070 version of the video card because the current 3060 is insufficient and entirely reaches its limit in terms of video memory and processing power. I'll also mention that the laptop's two USB Type C ports include built-in Display ports, making it feasible to attach more monitors with the right adaptor. It's not Thunderbolt here! Although the turbo mode in the Lenovo Vantage reduces the screen response time from 6 to 3 milliseconds, moving objects on the screen leave a peculiar trace when it is used. However, I personally did not see the difference between 6 and 3 ms. In truth, it's a pointless feature because, when activated, the screen's image just gets worse—it's somewhat of a marketing gimmick.

Pros
  • + Excellent screen with good color reproduction, 165 Hz, and 16:10 1440p. + Well-designed laptop. Unlike its predecessor, a straightforward Legion 5 has good cooling. +Easy installation of drivers with the official application (including very convenient color calibration through X-Rite color aid) + High-quality keyboard with 4-section backlight settings + The upper and lower sections of the casing are metal, while the case inside, where the keyboard is, is plastic. 4 USB type A and 2 USB type C ports, with the ability to connect up to 3 additional monitors, make up a good USB connector arsenal.
Cons
  • -Weak speakers (they play more quietly here than in a standard Legion 5) -In the version without OC, certain hotkey features linked to laptop hardware will not function, even with drivers (at least, it didn't work for me; Fn + R should switch the screen refresh rate), but it didn't work for me. -The battery drains its power more quickly than it would on a plain Legion 5 (4-5 hours of work with integrated graphics and maximum power conservation). - The touchpad may not be to everyone's taste (I, for one, didn't like it because it functions as one giant button instead of having individual buttons). -The laptop is huge and hefty, but given how powerful the laptop is, I understood what I was looking for, so this is not a serious drawback. -In contrast to a standard Legion 5, this model opens the screen to a considerably smaller degree. For me, this is inconvenient while using a laptop with a high stand. The drawbacks are generally minor and frequently contrasted with Legion 5's younger iteration.
