Lenovo Legion 5 Pro (16-inch, 2021)

Impressive gaming and processing power ; An innovative and bold 16:10 display ; Plenty of ports and some clever placement ; A comfortable and well-designed keyboard

Occasionally noisy ; Mediocre battery life ; Irritating trackpad

The Lenovo Legion 5 Pro features an innovative and high-quality display, combining with powerful components to deliver an absorbing and impressive gaming experience. However, be aware of the disappointing battery life, and make sure you have a USB...

Excellent gaming performance ; Gorgeous 1440p display ; Satisfying, accurate keyboard ; Good cooling

Cheap touchpad ; Thick and chunky

“The display quality and performance make the Lenovo Legion 5 Pro a fantastic midrange gaming laptop.”

Class-leading multithreaded CPU performance ; Major gaming muscle with GeForce RTX 3070 ; 16-inch display is roomy, crisp, fast, and bright ; Solid build quality ; Comfortable keyboard with number pad

Drab design for a gaming laptop ; Bulky chassis paired with hefty power brick ; 512GB SSD limits size of local game library

Exceptional performance ; Decent color and brightness ; Sturdy chassis and hinge ; Perfect keyboard ; Highly affordable

Bright and sharp 165Hz screen ; Great performance ; Very good build quality in most areas ; Laidback design ; Good value

So-so plastic touchpad ; The speakers offer no real bass

Great built quality, excellent performance and good value: this Lenovo is one of the best gaming laptops of 2021. The touchpad is the one significant weak point. But we'd recommend using this laptop with a mouse anyway.

Decent build quality ; Plenty of ports, including two USB-C Thunderbolt 4 ; Nice 165Hz WQXGA IPS display ; Great performance for most tasks ; Wi-Fi 6

Subpar gaming with RTX 3050 at WQXGA resolution

Don’t get me wrong. Overall, the Lenovo Legion 5 Pro is a great laptop… for the most part. While it performs great for basic day-to-day tasks, you’ll get the best gaming performance by reducing the 2560×1600 resolution to 1920×1200 with the base...

Stylish design ; Powerful GPU and CPU ; Advanced cooling features

Big and bulky
