@@ilcarnifex Depends. Sometimes you have the whine that almost sounds like coil whine but is not. It's just in that sweet spot of rpms for annoying whine. Then sometimes the fans go full boar and it's actually better because of less whine and more whoosh.
Impressive as to how far Legion has come. I'm still using my Legion Y520 with a 7700HQ + 1050Ti. Don't plan on upgrading since I have a SFFPC, but I did order a Wi-Fi 6e card to upgrade the one in the 520.
I have a legion 5 pro gen 7 2022 model. Literally the best experience I have had so far with any laptop. Awesome aesthetics, beautiful keyboard RGB great specs DDR5 etc it's all rounder. I'd absolutely buy this model again even in future..
eyy we have the same laptop, I still use it until now too! .. my only problem is that the lack of support of Windows 11, so kinda want to upgrade it just for Windows 11 😂👍
I just have to keep coming back to this video because, easy to read and has accurate descriptions, up-to-date info, links, times stamps, etc videos like this make noobs like me looking for a gaming laptop easy-great video keep up what your doing
I have the 2019 Legion 5 with AMD Ryzen 5 and RTX2060; and it has done me well over the years! Done many of my masters assignments on it since the keyboard is comfortable for long hour of typing as well as the screen is large enough to accomodate wide excel sheets. Though there are some drawbacks like the nowadays it seems to throttle often when gaming (maybe dust building uo inside), there's a noticeable crackling sound in my headphones when I plugged it into the laptop though not noticeable when plugging it onto a speaker (fixed this by reducing the wifi signal), and battery isn't that great but still doable.
I have the Legion 5 with a Ryzen 7 4800H and Nvidia 1660TI. I use it as a Linux workstation. I have the 80Whr battery and get around 7 hours on battery when I power down the dGPU.
Watching this from legion 5i pro gen 7. This thing is absolute beast. Upgraded from i7 gen 9 to i7 gen 12, and rtx 2060 to 3070ti (msi gl65 to this). My old MSI throttled a lot (had to undervolt the machine), but this, runs cool and fast out of the box. The only downside is no rgb lighting what so ever (except the keyboard) but it makes the laptop looks so professional and sleek. I use this 90% for dekstop replacement, and it delivers.
I have last years model of Legion 5 Pro, it has the weird three spike light logo on the backside, but the overall design is pretty sleek with the gray on gray color. 16:10 165hz with a 3070 is great.
That weird Y shape logo on the back is suppose to resemble the look of a Roman Legion Helmet. Hence the word "LEGION". Yea it's a great laptop. I have the Legion 5 Pro 3070 too but in white color.
Nice video. I’m not much into gaming. But more into photo editing and video(Just an advanced enthusiast). Hope it performs them well. I was looking into MacBook Pro. But the price point and software licence issue is pushing me towards Microsoft.
How is it regarding performance, temps, noise and screen? At the moment it's between this and the msi gp66 with 12700h and 3070ti. The only issue is, is that the msi lacks gsync and I'm not sure the 70ti is enough to drive 1440p without the aid of gsync to keeps things smooth at lower framerates. Does the system maintain high frame rates? Have you noticed any thermal throttling?
I have the 2021 Legion 7 with 5900hx and 3080. Absolutely a beast for a laptop. Still trying to figure out why Nvidia decided to equip a mobile 3080 with 16gb of GDDR6 but not their desktop 3080s though.
The desktop 3080 is based on the GA102 die what has a 384 bit bus, which by default allows either 12 or 24 GB of VRAM. Nvidia disabled 64 bits to reduce VRAM to 10 GB. To get 16 GB of VRAM, they’ll have to cut down the bus down to 256 bit, severely reducing bandwidth. On the other hand, the mobile 3080 uses the same die as the desktop 3070: the GA104, which has a 256 bit bus that allows for 8 GB of 16 GB of VRAM.
I have the Legion 7i 2021 model (i7 11800h & RTX 3070) and I love that little beast. Great build quality, good screen, great performance and cooling. Hope it lasts me at least 2 or 3 more years.
Switching to aluminum body parts is big. The previous gen was all plastic. It works, but just isn't as durable. Turns out my screen started getting spots because the top was flexing in my bag and that was damaging the screen.
Still rocking my Legion Y7000 with a GTX 1060 from early 2019. Love this laptop, although the camera kicked the bucket recently. Most likely will use it until it dies.
Can't wait for the 5 pro review!!!!!! It was my favorite laptop last year but I wanted pcle gen 4 and the last gen of the AMD CPUs didn't support it so I decided to wait a year and I really hope this laptop is everything I hoped it will be 🙏🙏
I'm in the market for a new laptop and this new-gen Legion 5 is $400 more expensive in my country when compared to the old one with R7 5800H & 3060. I don't think it's currently worth that much considering it's not that big of a performance jump.
I'd love to see an AMD Advantage edition of the Legion 5. It ouwld be interesting to see the battery life and the "advantage" of combining an AMD CPU and GPU.
Hello, I do have a very important question, do you see the difference in screen in real life between these two models? Of course one is slightly bigger, but I’m talking about hdr400 on pro model, does it make difference?
These two are very high on list as the gaming laptops to get as my first one! Now if they offer the higher tier with I7-12700H RTX 3070 for a cheaper 1080p 165 hertz screen it would be a much better buy to me as I don't have much use of that 1440p 300 hertz screen as I'd mostly connect my laptop to much bigger TV screen instead. Legion 5 Pro is simply way too expensive in my country it starts at $2000 here.
Ebay seller antonline has a deal right now for a Legion 5 Pro R7-6800H 3070ti at USD$1400. There's also a Legion 5 Pro 3070 for $1300, and a Legion 5i i7-12700 3070ti for $1350, both with very good specs (although not as good as the first). All of them are new. Absolutely killer deal if it can be shipped to you. You can also look at the deals on ASUS ROG Zephyrus/Strix G15 models, those are all pretty good.
Which microphone of the laptop was tested during the webcam segment of this video? I'm curious if the Legion 5 now has the same microphone quality as the 5 pro because it offers a 1080p webcam option.
Please make a video on the 5i and 5i Pro. There are literally no videos on TH-cam for the 5i, and some markets have that as a way more affordable option.
I just subscribed. I found your videos super helpful and clear in most cases. However... I think in the future... please use a lower third to help identify which laptop is which. there were parts where it was hard to follow which was which. Your hand gestures sometimes pointed to the 5 when you were talking about the pro and visa versa. A lower third helps the audience to identify which laptop is which off the bat with less friction. More visual help the better. thank you!
A lower third is a text graphic that is located near the bottom of the screen to help give some info to describe the scene. Text that appears in the lower third of the screen. You can google the term. Its a fairly common jargon used in video editing.
This year's launch of Legion 5 is really strange. they should have appear on the market at the spring, but instead they launched them only recently and I almost can't find any info about the laptops. So far seen only one review on a Vientamese channel, and just find this review...

I been reviewing gamers/putters for quite a while before committing and this video totally convinced me this was a very good/best choice. Anxiously awaiting my delivery...
Just got this Legion 5 like a week ago in darker Storm Grey color and with 12700H/RTX 3060. This is the best looking gaming laptop Ive used, it also has the best build quality and materials. I even prefer the design of it over the 5 Pro (except the side vents and that extra display estate on the bottom). Ive used HP pavilion, Acer Nitro, Asus TUF series and several other non gaming laptops but this feels much higher quality than any of those. Even when Im holding it, feels significantly more dense and pleasant, even tho the bottom panel is plastic, its just some high grade one, feels satisfying. Not to mention all the features it offers and the exceptional amount of ports with vast functionality as well, Im using gaming laptops as the desktop replacements and these ports cleaned up up setup immensely, I got basically no visible cables no thanks to the ports on its back. I think Im going for Lenovo again for my next gaming laptop.
I picked up a 2021 legion 5 with a 3060 and 5800h for 1000 usd a couple months ago and I couldn’t be happier with it. Excellent machine. Im glad to see the new models seem like good steps forward for the legion line
My lenovo legion 5 has 120 hz refresh rate, rtx 3050, and amd ryzen 5,5600H 3.3 Ghz. Which version/model do I have? I bought this on sale for 649.99 US dollars
@@SuperFlawless2010 it's not a waste, depends what you want to do. Don't drink the koolaid. That's fantastic price. 3050 is fine for slightly older games. You won't be playing on high graphics for any modern games though
@@thecompetitor4418 Even if I preferred a 15in I'd much rather save $350 using the huge 17in Alienware or just save $1000 on the Delta 15 since it frequently drops to $1300, even if, as a more portable desktop replacement, power and vid out on the sides will suck.
@@martyboi Last I checked (last week) I couldn't even find the new Legions. The old ones have some listings that can have the RAM and screen upgraded but not all CPU-GPU combos can be switched out, some can't be upgraded at all, which means some of the listings are for those already in retail boxes but just haven't made it to retailers yet, some have motherboards in the chassis, some motherboars are still not in the chassis but some combos either ran out or already in the partially finished or packed units (i5/R5 with 3060 for example), etc.
Great vid, keep up the work! so i have been thinking for a while and i cant choose gaming laptops im between couple laptops for which is the best so the games that i play the most is csgo or Valorant but especially Valorant because i love it and im having so much fun playing it so my question is that ,which laptop should i buy "Legion 5 Ryzen 7 5800H, RAM 16GB, 1TB SSD, RTX 3070 8GB, 17.3 FHD 144Hz" OR "Legion 5 Pro , Core i7-11800H, RAM 32GB, SSD 1TB, RTX 3060 6GB, 16.0 2K 165Hz" Which do you think would be the best for games like Valorant, how much fps would i get by playing it with full Res and Graphics? I'm a full time Valorant player so i want to buy a good gaming laptop for Playing online fps shooters games such as Apex legends, Csgo, Warzone and especially and mostly Valorant so if u can give me advice for buying which Gaming laptop i would really be happy! i will be waiting for your response :))
This is great I was just looking at these yesterday at their website trying to decide which one I wanted to get. but the Legions had AMD graphics cards in them
Yeah legion laptops are great, i have one. What i love most about lenovo is that their devices are so reliable, they work as intended and they don't usually fail. I had an dell xps 15 before and that thing frustrated the shit out of me.
If you are running below 45W then AMD has a slight advantage in battery life. But this thing has to be plugged in and that's where Intel wins by a huge margin, even bettering some desktops like the 3950X
When you play games, the cpu along with the gpu is used, so 150W tgp won't yield any ground breaking results. Maybe 5 fps more tops. It isn't worth paying for just a droplet of performance.
Just ordered the legion 5 pro with Ryzen 6800H and a 3070ti with 32gb of ram and the UHD screen. This video came at the right time to assure me I made a good decision.
Heyy, are all the type C ports connected to the DGPU? I wanna be able to use an external monitor with dgpu disabled. So i need atleast one of the type C port to be connected to the iGPU> ps, you still havent made the review, have you?
Heard rumor's that the 5 pro (AMD version) would be supporting USB4 after a bios patch, haven't seen anything else about it though, do you know if it is / won't be? I know the legion 7 with the new AMD chips supports it.
8:00 Does it also allow you to reduce the max charge to 80%, like on the 7? Very important to the always plugged in people, to extend the life of their battery.
Hi there @Hardware Canucks, I came across this "ThisisWin11" software which debloats windows 11 with some additional configurations. I understand yours's is a laptop review channel but can you please do a video on it sharing your views on whether its a compelling solution to improve windows performance. Thank you and looking forward to more such videos!
So the back exhaust space is plastic for pro and alloy for 5. Interesting choice. That's the first thing that broke for my older 5. One drop inside the bag in week 1 and that broke. The keyboards are changed and looks better. I have two broken keys and service centers don't provide just keys, they want 15% -20% of the laptops money to change the keyboard.
@@rehan8662 Yes. I think build wise , Lenovo downgraded from last year. Even the 7 series got some weaker parts. Maybe it's cost management since RTX 40 series GPUs are really expensive. I would go for regular 5 or Asus this time.
Got a sh rtx3070/ryzen 5800h Legion 5 for 1200€ and its the best laptop i could have gotten by far. Beautiful 1080p 165hz display, i found it to be a better option compared to the 1440p of the pro version as the hardware might not manage the resolution that well into the future (mine had some scratches but i managed to hide them with some lipstick). The gpu-cpu combo is great and can do max settings in most games easily, works well with a 1440p monitor as well. The trackpad and the keyboard are above average from what i tested in stores. The only problem is the slow ram but it doesn’t bottleneck the system in the games i played soo far, i plan to change it into the future with a 32gb kit.
@@aidar8154 The lenovo legion 5 only supports ddr4 ram (haven’t upgraded mine yet). My laptop was brought second-hand from my country (Romania). Check your local SH marketplaces as you might get lucky.
How does the 12700H compare to the 6800H variant if primary purpose is editing 4K videos? What about GPU selection in this case? Great review, always a big fan of your videos!
Hey I would suggest you to use the keyword 2022 in your video title as the youtube algorithm is not showing this video when you search for legion 5 pro 2022.
anyone experience loose charger cable on any legion 5? i have to change charger every 6months (~$60). i think it's because of the heat when charging while gaming.
I recently was viewing a list of top 9 laptops for Second Life. The game is very demanding for graphics and has created errors on so many of my laptops, including the one I am using while typing this. I am wanting a new laptop that can handle it all. The one featured in this video was the number 1 pick for the list I mentioned. Would it be best?

Not to mention all the features it offers and the exceptional amount of ports with vast functionality as well, Im using gaming laptops as the desktop replacements and these ports cleaned up up setup immensely, I got basically no visible cables no thanks to the ports on its back.
I think Im going for Lenovo again for my next gaming laptop.
I picked up a 2021 legion 5 with a 3060 and 5800h for 1000 usd a couple months ago and I couldn’t be happier with it. Excellent machine. Im glad to see the new models seem like good steps forward for the legion line
My lenovo legion 5 has 120 hz refresh rate, rtx 3050, and amd ryzen 5,5600H 3.3 Ghz. Which version/model do I have? I bought this on sale for 649.99 US dollars
@@brentlee6616 3050 is a waste of money regardless of how cheap you got it. Sorry.
@@SuperFlawless2010 I know 3060 is better but it’s so expensive
@@SuperFlawless2010 it's not a waste, depends what you want to do. Don't drink the koolaid. That's fantastic price. 3050 is fine for slightly older games. You won't be playing on high graphics for any modern games though
@@CopperGaut yeah paying money for RTX 30 series card and not even able to run games from 4 years ago, such a good value for sure.
Was really excited for the AMD versions as well. Please do a comparison of 5 pro and 5i pro with their respective specifications.
Just checked Lenovo's website again thanks to this vid and wow. The new Legion 7 Advantage Ed managed to make the m17 r5 look like a fantastic value.
How
You know what forget i said that just saw the price
@@thecompetitor4418 Even if I preferred a 15in I'd much rather save $350 using the huge 17in Alienware or just save $1000 on the Delta 15 since it frequently drops to $1300, even if, as a more portable desktop replacement, power and vid out on the sides will suck.
@@Z020852 Bro can i configure the specs that I want , or I can't, and just settle for what they are offering? Thanks
@@martyboi Last I checked (last week) I couldn't even find the new Legions. The old ones have some listings that can have the RAM and screen upgraded but not all CPU-GPU combos can be switched out, some can't be upgraded at all, which means some of the listings are for those already in retail boxes but just haven't made it to retailers yet, some have motherboards in the chassis, some motherboars are still not in the chassis but some combos either ran out or already in the partially finished or packed units (i5/R5 with 3060 for example), etc.
@@Z020852 Thanks 👍, I think I will pass this gen and just buy the next one because I'm waiting for the mini led screen...
was waiting for this
3:50 - screen is wobbling on legion 5 while typing, i hope its not constant and can be solved by properly positioning the screen
Can someone please tell me if there's a difference in cooling system b/w these two. I dont want to regret ordering the 5i non pro
Is that the storm grey colour on legion 5i (non pro). ive placed an order for mine in storm grey colour ive seen it in pics only?
Acn you tell me more about the build material apart from top lid, what else is made of metal..like keyboard deck back panel???? Please
Great vid, keep up the work! so i have been thinking for a while and i cant choose gaming laptops im between couple laptops for which is the best so the games that i play the most is csgo or Valorant but especially Valorant because i love it and im having so much fun playing it so my question is that ,which laptop should i buy "Legion 5 Ryzen 7 5800H, RAM 16GB, 1TB SSD, RTX 3070 8GB, 17.3 FHD 144Hz" OR "Legion 5 Pro , Core i7-11800H, RAM 32GB, SSD 1TB, RTX 3060 6GB, 16.0 2K 165Hz" Which do you think would be the best for games like Valorant, how much fps would i get by playing it with full Res and Graphics? I'm a full time Valorant player so i want to buy a good gaming laptop for Playing online fps shooters games such as Apex legends, Csgo, Warzone and especially and mostly Valorant so if u can give me advice for buying which Gaming laptop i would really be happy! i will be waiting for your response :))
This is great I was just looking at these yesterday at their website trying to decide which one I wanted to get. but the Legions had AMD graphics cards in them
I'm excited to watch your next review. XD
Yeah legion laptops are great, i have one. What i love most about lenovo is that their devices are so reliable, they work as intended and they don't usually fail. I had an dell xps 15 before and that thing frustrated the shit out of me.
What I want to see, is battery life comparison between AMD Advntage and Intel/Nvidia configuration of Legion 5 Pro.
If you are running below 45W then AMD has a slight advantage in battery life. But this thing has to be plugged in and that's where Intel wins by a huge margin, even bettering some desktops like the 3950X
@@KartikJayaraman79 10-15% is not huge margin considering more heat and less battery life
I want an all amd version base model, would be sick bang for buck
ASUS ROG Strix G17 (2022) or Lenovo Legion 5 Pro (2022). Both 3070 ti and ryzen 7 6800H, which one has better cooling system?
When you play games, the cpu along with the gpu is used, so 150W tgp won't yield any ground breaking results.
Maybe 5 fps more tops.
It isn't worth paying for just a droplet of performance.
Just ordered the legion 5 pro with Ryzen 6800H and a 3070ti with 32gb of ram and the UHD screen.
This video came at the right time to assure me I made a good decision.
is any of these an all-metal build or is that only reserved for the legion 7 series?
hi sir
where can i get that legion 5 with that silver color? i cant find on their site
Have a legion 7 and strongly considered the 2021 5 pro before making my choice... This makes me want to sell and buy again!
The price for the Legion 5 was not mentioned? Why?
Great video Man
What about the cooling performance. I want to see if the pro version works cooler due to the whole alloy body. I am about to buy one of these things.
Heyy, are all the type C ports connected to the DGPU? I wanna be able to use an external monitor with dgpu disabled. So i need atleast one of the type C port to be connected to the iGPU>
ps, you still havent made the review, have you?
Is there any difference of the performance of the components or ventilation? Assuming obviously same components
Are you sure normal legion 5 has g sync feature on qhd display?
Is it that hard to put a 80WHr battery to your low end models that you have to give a Ryzen 7 and 3070ti to be able to put it in
Why?
Heard rumor's that the 5 pro (AMD version) would be supporting USB4 after a bios patch, haven't seen anything else about it though, do you know if it is / won't be? I know the legion 7 with the new AMD chips supports it.
4:07 *me looking from tablet to the other screens which system made those noises, like USB : new device connected?
Can you also make a review about the ThinkBook 16p G2 or do you even know it ?
8:00 Does it also allow you to reduce the max charge to 80%, like on the 7? Very important to the always plugged in people, to extend the life of their battery.
they should. even my 2021 legion 5 have conservwtive charging which only charges the battery up to 60% while connected to charger
Great work sir. Please make a performance comparison video between Legion 5i Pro 2022 and Legion 5 Pro 2022.
Love form India.
What's the difference between 5i pro and 5 pro? And 5i and 5 pro?
@@mokisan 5i is Intel I think
@@mokisan i represents Intel
@@EggplantHarmesan yes.
10:24 a man of culture.
Isn’t the 165-240hz just a gsync/free sync thing? Why’s it’s so hyped up or am I missing something?
Sucks that none of these come in AMD Advantage options along with AMD GPU"s, I was really hoping they were.
Hi there @Hardware Canucks, I came across this "ThisisWin11" software which debloats windows 11 with some additional configurations. I understand yours's is a laptop review channel but can you please do a video on it sharing your views on whether its a compelling solution to improve windows performance. Thank you and looking forward to more such videos!
I didn't see the model with 12700 + RTX3060 yet, wondering if it is offered this year.
Hey guys, should i get legion 5 intel or legion 5 pro ryzen with same rtx 3060 gpu. The pro is about 200doller more expensive.
So the back exhaust space is plastic for pro and alloy for 5. Interesting choice. That's the first thing that broke for my older 5. One drop inside the bag in week 1 and that broke. The keyboards are changed and looks better. I have two broken keys and service centers don't provide just keys, they want 15% -20% of the laptops money to change the keyboard.
so it better to go for non pro.?
@@rehan8662 Yes. I think build wise , Lenovo downgraded from last year. Even the 7 series got some weaker parts. Maybe it's cost management since RTX 40 series GPUs are really expensive.
I would go for regular 5 or Asus this time.
@Soumya Chakraborty I c, thank you for opinion. I was looking at gp66, legion 5i and predator i9 variant as they are all under same price.
Got a sh rtx3070/ryzen 5800h Legion 5 for 1200€ and its the best laptop i could have gotten by far. Beautiful 1080p 165hz display, i found it to be a better option compared to the 1440p of the pro version as the hardware might not manage the resolution that well into the future (mine had some scratches but i managed to hide them with some lipstick). The gpu-cpu combo is great and can do max settings in most games easily, works well with a 1440p monitor as well. The trackpad and the keyboard are above average from what i tested in stores. The only problem is the slow ram but it doesn’t bottleneck the system in the games i played soo far, i plan to change it into the future with a 32gb kit.
Also, the base storage is a little low but mine came with an additional 1tb samsung ssd. Overall its a great affordable high end-ish system.
That's a good deal
@@alexturc9355 hello. Ram on ddr5? And where u buy it? I wanna to buy for this price. Or with 3060 for 1000£
@@aidar8154 The lenovo legion 5 only supports ddr4 ram (haven’t upgraded mine yet). My laptop was brought second-hand from my country (Romania). Check your local SH marketplaces as you might get lucky.
@@alexturc9355 there only minimum 2000£😓. In shop +2500£
How does the 12700H compare to the 6800H variant if primary purpose is editing 4K videos? What about GPU selection in this case? Great review, always a big fan of your videos!
I'm gonna say Intel will be superior due to QuickSync.
@@HardwareCanucks Thanks, I picked up the 5i Pro, 12700H with 3070Ti, 32GB, 1 TB SSD, made my decision easier
I really need some help choosing. Iam in between legion 5 rtx 3070 and legion 5 Pro rtx 3060.(my budget doesn't allow legion 5 Pro 3070)
What would you recommend between Legion 5 pro and Rog Strix G17 (360Hz refresh rate version)?
Hey I would suggest you to use the keyword 2022 in your video title as the youtube algorithm is not showing this video when you search for legion 5 pro 2022.
On the pro model, which usb c port that support usb 4.0?
anyone experience loose charger cable on any legion 5? i have to change charger every 6months (~$60). i think it's because of the heat when charging while gaming.
I've been fan of Legion series since Y530 but damn, the price hike hit these hard. The cheapest model (RTX 3060) available in Canada is near $2000
2200 eur in the netherlands
It's just under $3k AUD for the 3060 model for me...and that's 10% off.😅
Same price in Indonesia, around $2030 CAD
I like the logo of the Legion 5 pro 2021 ..Im the only one ?
I had my notification on but didn't get any! :|
nice but i still prefer darker white or darker grey whatever the name is
I recently was viewing a list of top 9 laptops for Second Life. The game is very demanding for graphics and has created errors on so many of my laptops, including the one I am using while typing this. I am wanting a new laptop that can handle it all. The one featured in this video was the number 1 pick for the list I mentioned. Would it be best?
Getting the 5 in 2 months. Can't wait.
@user-ib3hj2zp5u bruh
Got my pro 6800 32 gb 3070ti 2tb legion coming Wednesday. Only payed 1650 for it to boot!
Can you replace legion 5's screen with legion 5 pro's display?
