Lenovo Legion 5i Pro Review: Brilliant Performer; Boring Design

There was a time when gaming laptops had been few and much between. Nevertheless, with the development of expertise, the market is now flooded with a fair proportion of transportable gaming rigs that may deal with widespread AAA video games. Whereas Nvidia’s 4000-series-laden laptops are nonetheless a while away, there are some good machines on the market. One such choose is the Lenovo Legion 5i Professional Gen 7, a power-packed gaming laptop computer that could be a 2022 refresh to the Legion 5 Professional. The machine sports activities all of the bells and whistles, together with an Nvidia RTX 3070 Ti GPU mixed with an Intel Twelfth-Gen i9 processor. That is an improve over the Ryzen 7 chip and RTX 3070 GPU discovered on my 2021 mannequin. As a gamer, I simply had to take a look at the Legion 5i Professional to see what all has improved in comparison with its predecessor. Although the Legion 5i Professional Gen 7 begins as little as Rs 1,50,000, I received myself the totally specced out Legion 5i Professional variant and have been utilizing it for just a few days. And right here’s how my expertise with the Legion 5i Professional has been.

Lenovo Legion 5i Professional Evaluation (2022)

Lenovo was sort sufficient to mortgage us a unit of the Legion 5i Professional for assessment. Nevertheless, the views and opinions on this assessment are unbiased as I subjected the laptop computer to in depth scrutiny. That stated, now we have mentioned the show and construct high quality, efficiency, ports and connectivity choices on this assessment.

Lenovo Legion 5i Professional Specs

Earlier than we dive into the nitty gritties, be certain that to take a look at the specs beneath to see what you’re coping with right here.

Design and Construct

In a world filled with gaming laptops that sport RGB lightbars and flashy designs, Legion 5i Professional manages to take care of its personal id, which is a hybrid between play and work. As somebody who owns the 2021 Legion 5 Professional, the design is sort of similar right here, aside from a few minor adjustments right here and there. As you possibly can see your self, this mannequin boasts a matte white end, however the laptop computer is available in a Storm Gray variant as effectively. I personally choose the Storm Gray variant because it blends in properly and is stealthy, however if you would like your machine to face out only a bit, go for white.

The highest and backside panels of the laptop computer are encased in aluminum with a plastic deck on the within. And to its credit score, the laptop computer does really feel sturdy and well-built. I encountered minimal to no flex whereas deliberately bending the keyboard, show, and different elements of the machine. 

The Lenovo Legion 5i Professional’s high panel is easy sufficient. As an alternative of the glowing emblem discovered on the 2021 Legion 5 Professional, this laptop computer has a shiny Legion tag, which appears to be like cool. It’s additional surrounded by twin slanted traces that run parallel to one another in the direction of the tip of the panel. The underside half of the panel additionally connects to the I/O panel, which has helpful labels for straightforward recognition.

The underside of the laptop computer matches the highest aesthetics. Clad in matte white, it incorporates a singular huge air consumption mesh vent, together with raised rubber ft and slanted traces with curves. This helps the machine with air flow when positioned on numerous surfaces. The edges of the laptop computer are naturally thick since they home a giant vent every. There are additionally huge twin vents on the again, flanking the I/O panel. So whereas you’re going to get some glorious cooling (extra on this beneath), don’t count on a slim rig. Additionally, you may as well see the audio system on both facet right here.

Opening up the lid reveals the attractive interiors, together with the show, the full-size keyboard, and a giant boy trackpad. The show itself has a 16:10 facet ratio and is bezel-less for that additional house. As talked about earlier than, it has little to no flex, which I favored. 

The Legion TrueStrike keyboard makes a return from the 5 Professional. It’s full-sized and positioned in a method that provides it a sunken feeling. Plus, I recognize Lenovo protecting their U-shaped spacious keys together with a devoted Numpad. Like most gaming laptops, the Legion 5i Professional doesn’t include a fingerprint sensor for fast biometric login. Nevertheless, it does have a center-positioned energy button that lights up when on battery/ cost. 

The trackpad itself is pretty huge for all of your wants however positioned a bit to the left, which could trigger issues (extra on this later). You’ve got all the usual stickers on the palm relaxation together with a matte Legion emblem on the underside proper.

In terms of general portability, the Legion 5i Professional is just not a laptop computer you possibly can carry round with ease. The machine weighs 2.5kgs, and the majority solely will increase when mixed with the 800-gram energy adapter. Taking this whole setup out and about for work is a chore, so I recommend protecting it in a single place. 

The Lenovo Legion 5i Professional pushes for a design idea that isn’t precisely gamer-esque however treads the positive line, making it fascinating for a lot of AI information scientists and coders. Whereas the laptop computer doesn’t supply over-the-top theme colours and cutouts, you get simply sufficient pizzazz to let you know it’s a gaming machine. As a gamer who loves subtlety greater than exhibiting off, I appreciated this design selection, and I’m glad that Lenovo carried this over from the earlier iteration. I do miss the glowing Legion emblem, although. And this design right here is kind-of boring in right this moment’s sea of gaming laptops.

Show High quality

The Legion 5i Professional comes with a 16-inch WQXGA IPS show with a 165Hz refresh fee, 500 nits of brightness, Dolby Imaginative and prescient, G-Sync, 100% sRGB, and a 16:10 facet ratio. With out even breaking it down, you possibly can already inform that it’s a hell of a show on paper. And by all accounts, it performs the identical too. My makes use of with this show ranged from routine workplace work and content material consumption to FPS gaming.

Whereas it borders on sin to only use this laptop computer for work, the show performs effectively even in case you choose it up for simply that. Since it’s a sharp 2560 x 1600 show, the textual content seems crisp and is well legible on the display screen. Mixed with the anti-glare coating, this translated to longer hours in entrance of the display screen with out eye pressure. One other serving to issue was the prolonged 16:10 facet ratio, which means extra vertical house on the Legion 5i Professional. As a author/ lurker on Reddit, this additional house actually helped me get extra actual property out of those web sites.

For leisure functions, I selected an excellent mixture of HDR and Dolby Imaginative and prescient-compatible TV exhibits and movies. Streaming the ever-gorgeous Our Planet on Netflix was a ravishing expertise. Mixed with Dolby Imaginative and prescient, the show showcased the colours precisely and true to life. There have been instances after I seen oversaturation in sure scenes however nothing too main. Now, whereas Legion 5i Professional doesn’t have a 100% DCI-P3 show, it comes with 100% sRGB assist, which is shut sufficient. I confirmed this utilizing the Spyder X Professional calibration software on the Beebom workplace.

Additional, Lenovo does present an X-Ceremony Shade Assistant with two profiles to select from, however I didn’t really feel they made a lot of a distinction. The spectacular viewing expertise echoed on YouTube too. Talking of HDR assist, the show does include a very excessive 500 nits of brightness, which proved to be greater than sufficient in all eventualities. Moreover, whereas the show comes with an honest distinction ratio, the show will get darkish sufficient to not give off greying. However, if you would like true blacks, we advise selecting an OLED display screen laptop computer.

Nevertheless, a problem with the Legion 5i Professional’s show is the inconsistent brightness adjustment. As somebody who loves full brightness, it’s not a lot of a hassle. Nevertheless, whenever you use the show at round 50% brightness, it feels too low, and you can find your self searching for the brightness improve management. Nonetheless, if you’re going to use the laptop computer for streaming movies, preserve the brightness excessive, and you’ll have enjoyable.

Because the laptop computer is supposed for gaming first, I did naturally play a combination of AAA and eSports titles on it. I’ll discuss in regards to the frames in a while, however the show produces a good expertise with regards to gaming. The colour accuracy and brightness I discussed carry over right here as scenes from Cyberpunk 2077, God of Conflict, and Rainbox Six Siege look good. additional, the excessive shade accuracy meant that the texture-rich environment regarded true to artwork, and I had fun gaming on this machine.

Lenovo Legion 5i Professional comes with a show that didn’t disappoint me. Irrespective of which line of use I dabbled in, the high-brightness and color-rich display screen carried out consistent with my expectations. So in case you’re searching for a giant display screen that may be a jack of all trades with none issues, this gaming machine is an efficient selection.

For graphics, you get a strong Nvidia RTX 3070 Ti with a TGP of 150 Watts. In terms of reminiscence, the laptop computer has 32GB SO-DIMM DDR5 RAM at 4800 MHz mixed with a 1TB M.2 2280 PCIe Gen 4 SSD. Whereas the RAM and storage could be upgraded, you gained’t have to do within the close to future.

To verify all this {hardware} retains cool, Legion 5i Professional additionally comes with what the corporate calls Legion Coldfront 4.0 thermal system. To interrupt it down, the laptop computer comes with a twin fan and 4 warmth pipe setup. You additionally get a devoted CPU copper warmth switch block.

As defined above, the laptop computer suits a multi-user class, and as such, I used it for workplace work and gaming to check out the 3070 Ti. Nevertheless, I additionally ran some benchmark assessments to provide you an thought in regards to the metrics of the {hardware}, so let’s dive in.

Day by day Use

A standard day of utilization for me revolves round writing articles, enhancing a handful of photos, and enjoying movies within the background. Nevertheless, seeing because the Lenovo Legion 5i Professional is just not an on a regular basis laptop computer, I kicked it up a notch whereas additionally retaining my workflow.

Unsurprisingly, the Legion 5i Professional carried out fairly effectively. Even with all my typical Chrome tabs, together with a pair extra thrown in for good measure, the laptop computer didn’t even break a sweat. It’s value mentioning that the additional tabs had 4K movies enjoying within the background whereas I made certain to make use of the machine as recurrently do. Nevertheless, CPU utilization nonetheless stood at round 9%, whereas RAM utilization stood at round 39%. Secure to say, this additionally means I may simply open a dozen extra tabs and movies with little to no stress on the system.

I gave the Legion 5i Professional the identical therapy by streaming a number of movies from a number of platforms and had an excellent expertise. So in case you are available in the market for a laptop computer that may deal with intensive work and play, you could have discovered the suitable selection.

Gaming

In any case that’s stated and completed, the Lenovo Legion 5i Professional is a gaming laptop computer. Packing a 150W RTX 3070 Ti with 8GB VRAM and the Intel i9-12900H, I went into the testing with excessive hopes. To emphasize the system to the max, I select a mixture of demanding video games and an eSports recreation for the Siege fanatics (me). That is how the laptop computer carried out.

CyberPunk 2077 – QHD Extremely, Ray Tracing @ Medium/ Extremely, DLSS Balanced

It’s no huge secret that the now-fixed CyberPunk 2077 is an especially demanding recreation that stresses the perfect GPUs on the market. As such, I selected this futuristic recreation as my first topic.

Working the sport on the laptop computer’s native decision on the settings above, I received a mean of 45 FPS with frames peaking at 50 infrequently. Whereas the Legion’s cooling system went into overdrive, the 3070 Ti’s temp stayed at 86 Celsius however throughout the protected restrict. Whereas the Ray Tracing regarded good at Medium settings, it did push the frames down. I made the error of turning off DLSS and immediately received 12FPS. However saner heads prevailed, and I switched again on.

Turning down the decision to 1920 x 1080 immediately gave me 76 FPS even with Ray Tracing at Extremely and Balanced DLSS. Whereas this was an excellent expertise, I may see the feel downgrade due to the decrease decision. The GPU temperature dropped by a single diploma and got here to 85 Celsius.

As you possibly can see, the Legion 5i Professional is unquestionably able to operating 2077 in a wide range of settings with out issues. When you can squeeze much more FPS by turning off Ray Tracing altogether, I used to be positive with protecting it on at QHD and reducing some settings to get a relentless 60FPS.

God of Conflict – QHD Extremely/Authentic, DLSS Off

As somebody ready for God of Conflict Ragnarok with an itchy Axe hand, I needed to check out this recreation on this laptop computer. GOW is a recreation that pretty stresses the system with its revamped PC graphic settings and textures. Whereas DLSS was obtainable within the recreation, I opted in opposition to it to see how effectively the laptop computer can take it.

Working on the Extremely preset at native QHD, I received a mean of 60FPS with a peak at 71. Consider, this was in the course of the nasty struggle you could have with Baldur, so there was quite a lot of flying round and texture unfold. Nevertheless, even with all this, the FPS drops had been subsequent to none and the temps remained at 85 Celsius, which was cool sufficient.

Later, I did flip the decision right down to Full HD, and the graphics preset to Authentic to provide the machine extra room to breathe. The frames immediately jumped to 100, with 110 FPS making a cameo each every so often. As earlier than, there have been little to no body drops and the temps remained the identical.

I used to be glad to see God of Conflict and the Legion play alongside so effectively collectively as my expertise with the sport was very good. Since I’m simply positive with 60FPS, I resorted to the Extremely settings and had enjoyable defending my dramatic son within the recreation.

Rainbow Six Siege – Extremely

I can’t let a gaming laptop computer by with out Siege being put in on it. So for all of the Siege gamers on the market, I went via a few rounds with the sport. Siege is a well-optimized and reasonably demanding recreation, so I jumped to the Extremely preset on native decision.

Going via numerous rounds of informal matches and coaching grounds, the sport delivered an expertise of 120 FPS, which is one thing I hoped for. In a recreation like Siege the place each body issues, 120 FPS is one thing that can see you successful matches (supplied you possibly can intention). I did encounter a body skip or two, however that was rapidly mounted after restarting the sport.

Dropping the decision right down to Full HD immediately gave me 200+ FPS, which exceeded previous the show’s 165Hz refresh fee. Issues had been naturally smoother, however as somebody who prefers to have the best textures when potential, I caught to the Extremely preset.

To summarize, the Lenovo Legion 5i Professional completely impressed me with its gaming efficiency. Taking part in the titles above shows that this gaming laptop computer can deal with its fair proportion of AAA video games. I additionally recognize the 150W TGP GPU since for a gaming laptop computer, the upper the GPU wattage is the higher.

Moreover, the built-in Legion Coldfront thermals carried out extraordinarily effectively at protecting issues cool. Whereas they did get noticeably loud, I didn’t actually thoughts since I take advantage of headphones more often than not anyway.

The laptop computer additionally comes with just a few extra apps, just like the Dolby Imaginative and prescient app, the Lenovo Sensible Keys app that provides fast app shortcuts, and MS Workplace House and Pupil.

Nevertheless, the centerpiece is Lenovo Vantage, the corporate’s all-in-one management middle for controlling virtually every little thing from one place.

Since this laptop computer comes with Vantage proper out of the field as effectively, it turns into extremely handy.

Like different {hardware} monitoring software program, Vantage allows you to monitor your CPU, GPU, and VRAM utilization at a look. So if any app in your laptop computer finally ends up utilizing additional sources, you’ll know immediately.

The keyboard is paired with a giant trackpad that veers a bit to the left due to the house taken by the arrow keys.

I’ve all the time favored typing on Legion laptop computer keyboards, and this time was no totally different. The keyboard delivers a balanced quantity of key journey (1.5mm) that provides suggestions with out being overbearing. For me, this translated to good key registration, however no ache in fingers. The keycaps are a bit curved and are U-shaped for straightforward grip.

Fortunately, the keys are additionally large so I had little to no typing errors whereas touch-typing. I normally verify my expertise utilizing the most effective typing check web sites, and protected to say, my expertise was mirrored with typing speeds going as excessive as 83 phrases per minute. The identical swift expertise was replicated whereas I used to be gaming away as actions and fast peeks in Siege felt easy and my fingers fell on the keys naturally.

The keyboard comes with a wholesome number of fast shortcuts together with a mic mute button, Lenovo good key, brightness and quantity controls amongst others. Nevertheless, my favourite shortcut is FN+Q, which helps you to rapidly change between the thermal profiles I discussed above within the software program part. You may also change between the assorted keyboard results or flip the backlight on/off with FN+Spacebar.

Whereas the ability button itself doesn’t have a fingerprint sensor, it does have a small gentle that goes Purple when the laptop computer is charging and white when on battery energy. One thing tells me this could have been reversed.

The trackpad itself is big-sized and pretty good. It has a easy floor, which suggests your fingers will glide on it with out resistance. There are hidden left and proper buttons, that are a bit stiff to click on. Nevertheless, for me, a small drawback is the trackpad’s place. As a result of it has been positioned to the left, there have been instances my palm made random scrolls and clicks whereas typing.

The audio system, whereas not the perfect, produce good audio high quality that holds up. There have been instances when the audio sounded a bit hollowed out however via some tuning through Nahimic, I mounted that. There may be additionally no crackling or tinniness on most quantity. The bass is of course non-existent because it lacks any subwoofers.

Total, the twin speaker setup on Lenovo Legion 5i Professional is sweet and gives an excellent mixture of high quality and loudness. Whereas I gained’t advocate enjoying these audio system in massive gatherings, they’ll do properly in solo Netflix periods, conferences, and the like.

The mic isn’t overly loud and quiet and well-balanced. The mics additionally assist Lenovo Sensible Noise Cancellation, which helps you to filter extra ambient noise from a wide range of calls and even audio system. So you possibly can go forward and select the Shared mode for all voices or Non-public mode for noises from sure angles.

Total, it is a respectable digital camera and microphone combo that can simply allow you to attend Discord calls and watch motion pictures collectively, informal and enterprise conferences, and common use. Nevertheless, I don’t advocate happening Twitch and streaming with these.

Battery and Charging

Lastly, the Legion 5i Professional comes with an 80Wh battery and a 300W charger. In my utilization, I stored the laptop computer’s battery at the perfect energy effectivity plan, with the show at 60% brightness and 165Hz refresh fee. I additionally made certain to activate “Hybrid” mode, so the laptop computer gained’t revert to the 3070 Ti. My general expertise with the battery life was what I used to be anticipating.

The laptop computer misplaced round 28% in a single hour. Remember the fact that my use was average with Chrome tabs, writing, and enhancing. There have been no 4K movies or intensive apps operating. Nevertheless, the laptop computer didn’t warmth up and was comfy to make use of. From the time I had begun to when the machine was at 10%, the Legion 5i Professional lasted somewhat below 4 hours. All issues thought-about, it is a respectable quantity. You would possibly be capable of squeeze an hour extra by turning down the refresh fee, however I like 165Hz so I didn’t.
